The demonetisation has given a boost to mobile wallet companies as thousands of visitors enquired about cashless transactions at the three-day ITE.biz 2016.
Briefing reporters here on Wednesday, Minister for Information Technology and Bio-Technology Priyank Kharge said, “Demonetisation has not affected Bengaluru ITE.biz. In fact, we have received a very good response from people.
“Everybody is looking for technology intervention. Over 140 stalls, including many mobile wallets companies, are participating in big numbers. On an average 2,000 people per day have visited the expo.”
Mobile platform
Bengaluru-based Mobijini CEO and co-founder Rakesh Tergundi said, “Post demonetisation, we have been seeing a great interest in the solution we offer to companies to move towards a mobile platform that offers automation and digital payments. Moving to cashless system is the need of the hour today.”
Gujarat-based Milople Technologies founder and CEO Prashant Mamtora said, “This event is good for branding. We get a lot of traction and live feedback from users. “Even school students are paying a visit. On business side it actually creates a bit trouble. But I strongly support as it makes young children aware about science and technology.”
Awards instituted
Meanwhile, the Government of Karnataka has launched Startup Karnataka Top Tech-25 Awards 2016 to recognise promising startups of Karnataka for the first time.
