Our POV · 2026
India fintech infrastructure market entry strategy
India's fintech infrastructure market is one of the world's most significant – built on UPI's 10 billion monthly transactions, Account Aggregator's financial data sharing, ONDC's commerce network, and the government's India Stack digital public infrastructure. International fintech infrastructure companies across payment processing, banking technology, core banking systems, lending infrastructure, and financial data analytics are all evaluating India as a strategic market. GreyRadius helps fintech infrastructure companies validate Indian bank and enterprise demand, navigate RBI regulatory requirements, identify bank and fintech partner channels, and raise capital.
Why now? India's Account Aggregator framework is creating new fintech infrastructure demand – banks, NBFCs, and fintechs all need technology to consume and provide financial data through the AA framework creating significant infrastructure procurement. RBI's regulatory sandbox has approved dozens of fintech innovations creating commercial pathways for international fintech infrastructure companies to test and scale in India.

Market Intelligence
What the data says.
India's banking technology market is projected to reach $20B by 2027 – growing at 15% annually as core banking modernisation, digital channel investment, and Account Aggregator integration all drive procurement.
India has 1,500+ banks and NBFCs – creating a large institutional buyer base for banking technology, with smaller cooperative banks and NBFCs significantly underserved by existing technology vendors.
UPI's 10 billion monthly transactions require significant payment processing infrastructure – transaction monitoring, fraud detection, and settlement technology are all in significant demand from payment service providers.
Account Aggregator is creating a new data-driven lending infrastructure – alternative credit scoring, income verification, and financial health analytics are all becoming viable through AA data access.
Market Reality
What makes this market hard.
- RBI banking technology regulations are stringent – core banking systems, payment processing, and customer data storage all face specific RBI IT framework requirements that affect system architecture.
- Bank procurement is conservative and relationship-driven – Indian bank technology decisions involve multiple stakeholders and take 12–24 months from first engagement to contract.
- Indian banking market is price-sensitive – international core banking and technology pricing needs India-specific adaptation to compete with established Indian vendors like Infosys Finacle and TCS BaNCS.
- Integration with India Stack – UPI, Aadhaar, AA, and ONDC – requires significant product development investment before commercial launch in India.
