India has emerged as one of the fastest growing mobile wallet markets in the Asia Pacific region. In financial year 2014-15 alone, m-wallet transactions registered a swashbuckling growth of more than 130% as compared to previous year.

According to 6Wresearch, India’s Mobile Wallet Market is projected to reach $11.5 billion by 2022.
