In this episode of the Future|Money Podcast, we sit down with Santosh Viswanatham, a seasoned engineer and open-source advocate from Hyderabad, India.
We explore Santosh’s personal journey, the impact of digital financial inclusion in India, and his active role in the open-source movement, particularly in web monetization and financial technology.
Santosh shares his firsthand experience of how India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) revolutionized the financial landscape, bringing millions into the banking system and enabling seamless digital transactions. The conversation leads us to the potential of web monetization, challenges in adopting new financial technologies, and examine how open-source collaboration can create a more equitable digital economy, drive innovation, and shape future financial systems.
