An outstanding technology innovator and administrator, he has transformed money and finance in India. He has played a central role in creating multiple digital public good platforms that have made handling and transferring of money easier and cheaper for the regulator and the government, the business and ordinary people of India.
He is the first employee of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and has gone on from being Chief Technology Officer to leading the organization's strategy and business expansion. His formidable drive and achievements are highly valued by the regulator and the government, which has re-appointed him as the CEO of NPCI, and he has made NPCI central to the RBI and government's campaign to make money easily transferable, transparent and traceable.
An inveterate innovator, he has led the designing, building, and operating of several banking and financial services initiatives. He has played a pivotal role in the creation of money transfer and payment platforms such as the Immediate Payment Service or IMPS, Aadhar-enabled Payment System, Aadhaar Payments Bridge (or Direct Benefit transfer platform), India's own card payment network RuPay, Electronic Toll Collection (NETC/FastTag) and the game changing Unified Payments Interface or UPI. Now, he is taking the UPI and RuPay global by exporting its knowhow and connecting India's Payment system with leading countries for payments and remittances to make India self- reliant even on cross-border. Prior to joining the NPCI, he had set up the technology infrastructure for Euronet Worldwide for the Asia Pacific region.
A man on a mission to bridge the digital divide and democratise the financial services, he has worked creating one of the best public good infrastructure in the world to get nearly all Indians to use digital storage and transfer of money. Thanks to his unrelenting efforts, billions of financial transactions are processed digitally every month.
All India Management Association is pleased to present the AIMA Public Service Excellence Award for 2022 to Mr Dilip Asbe, Managing Director and CEO, National Payments Corporation of India.
