Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the grand celebration of the 75th Indian Republic Day at the Intercontinental Hotel in Paris. This splendid event organized by the Embassy of India, Paris, was also a testament to the 25 years of Indo-French strategic partnerships that have flourished over the years. 🇮🇳🇫🇷 With the presence of Prisca THEVENOT as guest of honour, one of the most groundbreaking announcements of the evening was the introduction of UPI, powered by National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI), as a viable payment method in France, starting with none other than the iconic Eiffel Tower. Thanks to the efforts of Lyra, Indian visitors to the Tour Eiffel can now experience the seamless convenience of UPI transactions. This move is not just a leap towards financial inclusivity but also a symbol of the strengthening ties between India and France. The Eiffel Tower becoming the first monument to adopt UPI in France, is emblematic of the new heights the Indo-French partnership is destined to reach. 🤝 Christophe Mariette alain lacour Atul Sodhi Bénédicte Brouard Anil Sharma #RepublicDay #IndoFrenchPartnership #Lyra #UPI #Innovation #GlobalCollaboration #payment
