Anand Kumar Bajaj, Founder, MD and CEO, PayNearby, said: "Retailing in India is one of the pillars of our socio-economic structure. For India to thrive and grow, it is important that the retailers are given the necessary support and tools to stay relevant in the fast-evolving economy. This application is one such effort committed to enable financial inclusiveness and the economic well being of the retailers."

In India, retail is evolving but not retailers. It is India's largest industry, accounting for over10 per cent of the country's GDP and 8 per cent of employment. However, despite its large size, the sector has remained predominantly unorganised due to the presence of local stores and vendors. To win in this changing landscape, the local retailers need to change too.

And PayNearby is completely transforming the retail outlets and making them future-ready. The company has enabled more than 38 lakh plus retailers across 17,600 plus PIN codes to have a strongonline presence.
