Flipkart serves nearly 500 million customers across 20,000 pin codes and processes up to one crore transactions a day during peak events, while PayU runs dedicated fraud and risk teams working closely with central agencies to safeguard transactions at scale. They break down a hard truth: nearly one in five Indian households has faced some form of fraud. From OTP phishing and fake traffic challan links to APK malware and AI-powered scam calls, this conversation explains how scammers exploit fear and greed more than technology and how large platforms detect and block fraud in real time. The episode also explores the future of payments. Moving beyond OTPs, Flipkart has launched biometric-based card payments in partnership with PayU, using device-bound authentication like fingerprint and face recognition to reduce fraud while making transactions seamless. If you want to understand how scams actually work and where India’s payments ecosystem is headed next, this episode delivers clear, practical insights.
