I think it is a great time for the entrepreneurs, for startup companies, even for multinational fintech companies for the Indian market,” said J A Chowdary, special chief secretary and IT advisor to the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.

“I’m very happy to be here at IFTA today. We’re launching a couple of things at IFTA. The first is the EY India Fintech Compendium which has all the top use cases that fintechs are working on today. The second is the EY India Fintech
