(10 Marks)

3. There are plenty of cashless payment options that have grown in last 3 years — like UPI, NetBanking, Open banking apps, USSD, AEPS etc. The driving force in the evolution of the payment system has been the need to give users the ease of doing it as it directly affects the purchase pattern of a customer.

It is because of this reason that Mobile wallets like MobiKwik, PayTM, Oxigen, Amazon Pay, Google Pay have become the forerunners of the digital payment industry. While these wallets are penetrating into very small businesses and non-tier-1 cities initially with their cash-backs, they have innovated and provided easy user experience that needs minimum learning by a user. For example, payment via scanning a QR Code or simply entering merchant’s mobile number is easy. Sending money to a friend to clear debts is just a click-or-two away. To add on to this, apart from simplifying payments, the value-added services like bill payments, ticket booking provided by these wallets have made them the preferred payment option of the savvy Indian consumer.

The future of digital payments lies in providing further simplified and secure user experience, while increasing its adoption by leading socio-economic changes at the grass root level. Mobile wallets are good, but still need taking out the smartphone followed by some action by the user, which is no better than taking out the credit card for payment. Next simplification lies in secure identification and payments (by face detection, voice, sound) which can further disrupt and exponentially grow the digital payments wave.

a. State and explain the possible analytics solutions which can enable growth in digital payments. (5 Marks)

b. Which business metrics can be tracked to check the status of digital payment evolution? (5 Marks)

Emerging Technologies: IoT, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality

1. AR has revolutionized the retail sector. A radical store re-invention will offer retailers new ways to increase convenience and personalization, and consumers the opportunity to experience re-envisioned shops. Product visualization, in-store navigation, and virtual product trials are some of the top ones. Imagine the power of visualizing your backyard oasis using a mobile camera without buying a single product. Augmented reality can help online retailers significantly reduce returns by providing an engaging 'try-before-you- buy' digital experience. There have been dramatic changes in the way we shop by bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

3. The world is experiencing an evolution of Smart Cities. These emerge from innovations in information technology that, while they create new economic and social opportunities, pose challenges to our security and expectations of privacy. Humans are already interconnected via smart phones and gadgets. Smart energy meters, security devices and smart appliances are being used in many cities. Homes, cars, public venues and other social systems are now on their path to the full connectivity known as the “Internet of Things.” Standards are evolving for all of these potentially connected systems. They will lead to unprecedented improvements in the quality of life. To benefit from them, city infrastructures and services are changing with new interconnected systems for monitoring, control and automation. Intelligent transportation, public and private, will access a web of interconnected data from GPS location to weather and traffic updates. Integrated systems will aid public safety, emergency responders and in disaster recovery. We examine two important and entangled challenges: security and privacy. Security includes illegal access to information and attacks causing physical disruptions in service availability. As digital citizens are more and more instrumented with data available about their location and activities, privacy seems to disappear. Privacy protecting systems that gather data and trigger emergency response when needed are technological challenges that go hand-in-hand with the continuous security challenges.

a. What are smart cities? Highlight the benefits of smart cities. (5 Marks)

b. What are some of the key elements for smart cities and also mention their importance? (5 Marks)
