No cash, no intermediaries? Different scenarios for a digital economy 

What happens when a culture of primarily cash-based and mediated financial
transactions encounters the world of digital financial platforms that
promise cashless and direct transactions? In a world abuzz with
conversations about digital financial transactions, we explore how they work
among different low-income social groups in a one-day workshop on November
11, 2016 at IIIT-Bangalore.  

 

The workshop comprises three panels spread over the day. It will bring
together diverse voices on digital financial transactions, who have earlier
engaged with these issues on separate stages, to discuss changes in the
nature of financial transactions. Together, we will explore possible ways to
rethink cash-less and intermediary-free economies, and examine how best to
incorporate the values associated with cash and financial intermediaries
into the world of digital financial transactions.
