At a time when BNPL and digital lending are gaining popularity, Sinha feels there is a market opportunity for credit cards as well because only 34 million Indians have credit cards.
“We believe that there are around 90 million people eligible for a credit card. There is a large market for all players,” Sinha was quoted by Moneycontrol as saying.
