Thinking thru how payments will evolve across the world. What are the problems customer face while making payments internationally across 100+ countries.  How will customers pay 5 years from now? Will credit cards ever become popular in emerging markets? What can we invent on behalf of the customer in a scalable manner. Exciting times.

Amazon after transforming commerce globally has aspirations to transform payments. We at Amazon are working hard to look at the customer needs across Payments & what role can Amazon Payments play in solving these customer needs in India. My role is to identify & nurture strategic partnership across 4 Payments themes a) Payment Experience (Payment success rate, 2FA simplification), b)Affordability (EMI & Lending) c) Emerging Payments (UPI, Bharat QR & Aadhar Pay) d) Co Marketing (Cash back, Co-Brand)  d) Digitization (Moving customers from Cash to electronic). I work with Banks, Networks, Financial technology service providers & payment processors to envision & implement solutions which impact the above themes.

        Abhay is a gentleman and he is adept at building relationships at any level. I learnt a lot from him, in terms of doing presentations to senior managements of banks and the thinking process involved in negotiations with them. A fun loving person who will give enough freedom for subordinates to think and get solutions on their own. he trusts his people to deliver the results. 
When asked for guidance he will never instruct but facilitate to think through on your own.

Abhay has amazing grip on the subject and is able to analyse all the facets of complex trade transactions. He is a good listener and very enthusiastic about the work he undertakes. Abhay is a very good team player with sound product knowledge.
