The future of payments will be like a sci-fi movie where NFC and facial recognition will enable payments. Currency notes will become a thing of the past, branches will become lesser even as robot advisors, virtual assistants and chatbots will be your new banker, wealth advisor and cashier. Inside the Bombay Stock Exchange chatting on the future of trading with a few tech entrepreneurs. The building which was established in 1980 and is named after the Parsi businessman Phiroze Jeejebhoy who was the chairman of BSE for over a decade. Trading and broking firms line up each floor of the 29-storeyed BSE building.

A robot advisor would never do that,” adds Vyakaranam. The mobile phones or devices of the future will automatically alert you on the apps if you are going to make a costly purchase. A holographic image or a USSD text would pop up if you’re likely to make a bad investment. You will be advised by an AI-based virtual assistant, if the flight fares are going up and you are still to book a return flight.
