India Just Launched Payments on ChatGPT

Hey Payments Fanatic!

India 🇮🇳 just did it again.

The country’s payments powerhouse — NPCI — just teamed up with Razorpay and OpenAI to launch a pilot that lets users shop directly inside ChatGPT, powered by UPI.

Yep, you can now chat your way to checkout.

It’s the first real test of what the industry calls Agentic AI payments, where AI assistants don’t just find things for you, they actually buy them on your behalf (safely, securely, and under your control).

Bigbasket is the first e-commerce platform on board, with Axis Bank and Airtel Payments Bank handling the rails.

Razorpay CEO Harshil Mathur summed it up perfectly:

“We’re transforming AI assistants from simple discovery tools into full-fledged shopping agents.”

Also from India, a new report dropped with UPI stats that will blow your mind 🤯

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll be back in your inbox on Monday!

Cheers,
