According to news report, Ashris Choudhary, creator of India in Pixels, is a software engineer who studied architecture at university. India in Pixels, one of his many side projects, visualises data about India across different fields and has garnered 1.3 crore views.
Since its launch five years ago, the UPI platform has made sending money as easy as sending an email by giving users Virtual Payment Addresses (VPAs) that channel cash directly to and from bank accounts.
Meanwhile, in FY21-22, payments worth about Rs 83.45 lakh crore were processed through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). In March 2022, UPI achieved another significant milestone — it processed 5.04 billion transactions for the first time, according to the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), according to a news report.
