Modi lauds ‘India in Pixels’ for digital payments explainer 'sound of money'
India had achieved a total of 8,193 crore digital payment transactions by March 20.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday backed digital payments by lauding India in Pixels -- a popular Twitter handle that explains stories about India through numbers. Replying to an explainer video posted by ‘India in Pixels’ that showed the “sound of money transacted via UPI from October 2016 to March 2022”, Modi said it was “very interesting, impressive and obviously informative.”
“I’ve spoken about UPI and Digital Payments quite often but I really liked how you’ve used the sound of money transacted through data sonification to effectively convey the point,” PM Modi wrote on Twitter.
