The major growth drivers of the industry are Introduction of new services, increasing smartphone users, increasing penetration of mobile internet, affordable handsets, low mobile internet tariff rate and recently announced demonetization.

The mobile wallet has been serving the need for instant cash in an electronic form for sundry transactions, will soon offer instant loan facility for short term to its customers. This micro-credit programme enables users to subscribe for small loans, and m-wallet companies get interest in return. An eligible user will get the loan instantly credited to the wallet. Users will be allowed to take loans in excess of INR 5,000.

The mobile wallet companies are tying up with commercial banks and Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) to roll out this service, which will analyze the history of the users before crediting the loan. Mobile wallet companies, on their own, cannot give loans. Several companies have started their pilot projects already, and Mobikwik is one of them.
