FreeCharge’s aim is to convert all the mundane transactions that customers have to do but do not really enjoy into a rewarding experience. Since the time we have launched electricity bill payment services, the response has been really good and we expect similar response for Gas and landline bill payment services. We also plan to introduce LPG cylinder refill payments on our platform in coming months in line with our major merchant’s plans. Our vision is to bring about a behavioral change by organizing the bill payments market in India by digitizing payments and creating ‘digital habits’. We will be launching more new categories in the utility segment, and further contribute significantly towards the Digital India vision of the government.”
