Cash to Code: India’s Digital Rupee

India is making a transformative leap with the Digital Rupee, a digital version of traditional fiat currency, managed and regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. RBI has already conducted pilot runs across 15 cities, involving 9 major banks and over 1.6 million users. Designed for both retail (CBDC R) and wholesale (CBDC W) applications, the digital rupee can facilitate seamless person to person (P2P) and person to merchant (P2M) transactions.

But can it truly redefine India’s financial landscape? How does it compare to UPI, plastic money, or cash? What are its implications for financial inclusion, cross border trade, and cybersecurity?
