Launched under NPCI’s “Learn while you Earn” higher education program, the first batch commenced today with an inaugural session. The specially curated, one-of-its-kind program will integrate aspects of technology, finance, BFSI, and information system and management studies into a single Master’s specialization in Digital Payments to cater to the varied requirements of the industry today. The program will serve as a platform to build leaders of tomorrow, who are capable to manage the growing digital payment user-base and will further bring technological reforms to the financial ecosystem.

per semester thereby allowing them to learn while they continue to earn at NPCI. The program is
aimed to enrich employees with a deeper understanding and knowledge of research methodologies
