US-based Obopay, a player in mobile payment services, has announced its entry into the Indian market. Obobay India will be headquartered in Bangalore and headed by Mr Aditya Menon as Executive Director. The company is involved in mobile person to person (P2P) money transfer and remittance services. Obopay India hopes to be “a catalyst for financial inclusion in India, by providing payment services to any one with a mobile phone.” Mr Aditya Menon said: “It is a foregone conclusion that there are more people with mobile phones than bank accounts in India.
