Founder of India's Got Latent explained how the company is shifting from cash to time‑based payments on the Vi platform, allowing users to pay for services in terms of time rather than money.
India’s Got Latent, a startup focused on digital services, announced a new payment strategy during a recent briefing on the Vi platform. The entrepreneur highlighted that the company is moving away from traditional cash transactions and adopting a time‑based payment model, referred to as "Samay".
Under this model, customers can purchase services by allocating a specific amount of time rather than a fixed monetary amount. This approach is intended to give users greater flexibility and a clearer understanding of how long they will be able to use a particular service.
The founder noted that the time‑based system aligns with the growing demand for subscription‑style usage in India’s digital economy. By paying in time, users can better manage their budgets and avoid unexpected charges.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand the Samay model to additional Vi services, aiming to streamline the payment experience across its platform. The shift reflects a broader trend among Indian tech firms to innovate payment methods that cater to diverse consumer preferences.
