In October 2025, the Global Fintech Fest 2025 (GFF 2025), a premier global fintech event, successfully concluded in India. With “AI” as a key theme, the summit attracted nearly 100,000 participants, including global and very important dignitaries such as Honorable Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
As an expert in digital security and payment solutions with nearly two decades of deep-rooted presence in the Indian market, Watchdata India, a part of the ‘Watchdata’ global group, participated extensively in the event. The company showcased a range of cutting-edge products and solutions designed for inclusive finance, embodying its philosophy of “Empowering People through Technology” in practice.
At the Watchdata booth, several uniquely designed “Pillar” stands symbolized not only the company’s solid development history but also outlined the continuous evolution of its products. Each product embodies a spirit of focus and innovation.
From smart cards to smart devices, Watchdata combines its technological strengths with profound insights into the Indian market. Notably, the smart cards crafted using special materials and techniques, with their unique body aesthetics and texture, attracted significant attention from visitors and Senior Banking officials alike.

The product series exhibited by Watchdata comprehensively covers fintech scenarios from urban to rural areas, and from individual to institutional needs:
More than just a payment tool, it’s a mobile brand ambassador. Bank clients expressed strong interest after experiencing how a simple tap on a POS terminal lights up the customized logo on the card, creating a novel interactive connection between banks and their customers.
To cater to India’s vast youth demographic, Watchdata introduced innovative product forms like payment rings and stickers. Their fashionable design and seamless user experience captivated numerous young visitors, demonstrating substantial market potential.
The core of India’s fintech revolution lies in reaching its vast rural hinterland – ‘Bharat’. Watchdata is a key participant in this journey. From Smart POS devices integrated with L1-level biometric modules to cost-effective mPOS solutions, Watchdata provides a full spectrum of technologies. Among them, the WD-930 model, which incorporates a large-sized fingerprint sensor while maintaining a compact form factor, impressed visiting bankers and regulators with its user-centric design.
A well-trusted product among Indian corporates, banking, and government digital signature users, the Proxkey PKI Token was also featured at the booth. It stands as a testament to Watchdata’s ongoing contributions to India’s digitalization and digital security landscape.
The range of QR soundboxes exhibited by Watchdata, particularly the highly successful WD-10 model, has become a significant force in driving the adoption of QR code payments across India.
The in-depth exchanges during the event further validated our strategic direction. In meetings with regulators, Watchdata’s development path received positive affirmation. Looking ahead, the company is committed not only to actively participating in the next generation of fintech reforms but also to acting as a catalyst for innovation, sharing its global experience and local expertise in secure payments, identity authentication, and related fields with partners.
Watchdata India is poised for the future:
• Embracing the AI Wave: Dedicated to developing new digital security products and solutions integrated with AI technology, safeguarding the development of India’s AI infrastructure.
• Focusing on Youth and Inclusion: Continuing to invest in R&D to launch more reliable, convenient, and secure products that appeal to the younger generation and address the practical needs of the masses, especially in rural areas.
“The value of technology lies in creating a shared future. Watchdata looks forward to collaborating with all industry partners, contributing our global experience and local wisdom in smart cards, digital payments, IoT, and other fields to jointly build a more inclusive, secure, and innovative fintech ecosystem.”
