Users can use the service by loading cash on their mobile phones on an Airtel retail outlet. They can use it to pay bills, recharges, shopping and make payments.
Sriram Jagannathan, chief executive officer, mCommerce, Bharti Airtel, said "While India has traditionally relied on cash transactions, with time - we have seen a changing trend with the adoption of credit and debit cards."
