As part of the launch event of
NDTV-Mastercard Cashless Bano India campaign, which aims to take the message of a cashless India to the country, Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog, said that it is important for us to move towards digital payments. While complimenting NDTV and MasterCard for the initiative, he pointed out that we are on the threshold of major technological revolution. "My view is that in the next 3 to 4 years, India will technologically leap forward, with most of us using iris or thumb impression to make transactions. Every person with a mobile will become a walking ATM."
