The fintech sector and startups in this space have overcome new challenges and regulatory hurdles on a regular basis, and even the Covid-19 crisis saw some pivots and transformations. 

While payments slowed down, the fintech sector saw investments grow in insurance, digital investing platforms and new lending models. The sector is now being regarded as an employment catalyst for the massive base in India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

According to an Inc42 Plus analysis, funding in fintech saw 17% growth quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) in Q2 FY2020, and between the 2014 and H1 2020, Indian fintech startups have now bagged over $11 Bn in funding. Additionally, the country is today home to over 3K fintech startups, out of which there are seven unicorns and 17 soonicorns.
