What could break the thesis?
STABLE. UPI's share of GMV has increased from 32% to 44% YoY. While this drives user acquisition, it continues to dilute the overall take rate as UPI is harder to monetize directly. (2 stable, 1 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“Consumer payments is a war on zero-MDR rails”
The risk remains high as UPI transactions grew 170% YoY, significantly outpacing the industry, which continues to dilute the revenue mix despite record GMV. (1 intensifying, 4 easing, 2 high-severity)
“And that PPI over UPI MDR, which was supposed to come, has not yet come and, we are expecting it to come. Because of that there is a revenue lag.”
