Commenting on providing consumers with convenient and affordable access to financial services, Srinivas Nidugondi, Vice President, Mobile Financial Solutions, Comviva, said, “We have long recognized that a vast and untapped opportunity exists to provide people with easy access to formal financial services across emerging markets worldwide.

We are leading the market in working with service providers to meet this demand.”
