Talk:PhonePe

Edit request
PhonePe is a digital payments company headquartered in Bangalore, India. PhonePe was founded in December 2015[1], by Sameer Nigam, Rahul Chari and Burzin Engineer. The PhonePe app went live in August 2016, and has been built on Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

(Suggestion to add more details on what the PhonePe app lets a user do.)

The PhonePe app is available in over 10 Indian languages. Using PhonePe, users can send and receive money, recharge mobile, DTH, datacards, make utility payments and buy gold. In addition PhonePe also allows users to book Ola rides, pay for Redbus tickets and avail Goibibo Hotel services through microapps on its platform. : https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/phonepe-has-reported-a-400-jump-in-digital-gold-sold-through-its-platform/articleshow/64174554.cms : https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/phonepe-ties-up-with-ola-for-cab-auto-booking/article24160706.ece : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/phonepe-redbus-launch-app-in-app-platform/articleshow/62537882.cms : https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/goibibo-ties-up-with-phonepe-to-allow-customers-to-make-hotel-bookings-through-its-app-2617401.html

History: (The current history is not factually correct. FxMart was a Flipkart entity, post acquisition by Flipkart, PhonePe started using the FxMart license. I am sharing the edited facts below).

FxMart received its licence to operate on 26 August 2014. PhonePe was incorporated in December 2015. In April 2016, the company was acquired by Flipkart.[4][5] and as a part of the Flipkart acquisition, the FxMart license was transferred to PhonePe and it was rebranded as the PhonePe wallet. PhonePe’s founder Sameer Nigam was appointed as the CEO[6] of the company. In August 2016, the company partnered with Yes Bank to launch a UPI-based mobile payment app, based on the government-backed UPI platform.[1][7][8] Within 3 months of launch the app was downloaded by over 10 million users. In 2018, PhonePe also became the fastest Indian payment app to get a 50 million badge on the Google play store. The PhonePe app overtook BHIM to emerge as the market leader in UPI transactions in August 2017.

Innovation and Partnerships PhonePe has taken an open platform approach to payments. User’s can use the payment instrument of their choice be it UPI, Credit Card, Debit Card and Wallet (Including third party wallets) on the app.

In October 2017, PhonePe launched a low cost POS device built in India. The bluetooth enabled POS device looks like a calculator and works with AA batteries. The hardware uses Bluetooth connectivity and enables payments through all the mobile devices that can access the PhonePe app.



PhonePe also partnered with Freecharge in January 2018. This partnership has enabled PhonePe users to link their existing FreeCharge Wallets to the PhonePe app. PhonePe has also entered into similar partnerships with Jio Money and Airtel Money.



PhonePe also partnered with RedBus, Ola and Goibibo to launch micro-apps on its platform. These partnerships enable businesses of all sizes to build and deploy apps on its platform with a unified login and payments experience for users.

Awards and Recognition PhonePe was recognised by NPCI in April 2018 for driving the largest number of merchant transactions on the UPI network.

Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to specific notes in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests, it is important to highlight in the text which specific sources are doing the referencing for each note. The point of an inline citation is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point is lost if the citation is not clearly placed. Note the example below:

  The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot.[2]

References

Miller, Edward. The Sun. Academic Press, 2005 Smith, John. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2005.

In the example above there is a note connected to the statement, a number 2 placed in brackets. However, it is unclear which of the two references provided actually link to that reference note. Your edit request similarly places numbered notes within brackets which are disbursed throughout the edit request. But it is unclear which references link to those notes. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below:

✅  The sun is pretty big,[1] but the moon is not so big.[2] The sun is also quite hot.[3]

References

^ Miller, Edward. The Sun. Academic Press, 2005, p. 1. ^ Brown, Rebecca. "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 51(78):46. ^ Smith, John. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2005, p. 2. 

In the example above, the link between the provided references and their notes is perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.
