Tata Group is launching its first payment app “Tata Neu” as a super app in the digital ecosystem of India. It has announced to launch Tata Neu on April 7, 2022. As the platforms like Amazon and Jio have been ruling the Indian market for making payments and e-commerce, Tata Neu aims to take on these platforms with a variety of products since the very first day of its launch.
It is launching as a mobile app for Android users on April 7. However, it is not available in App Store as of now. Tata Digital Limited has developed this app to make a superapp for its users so as to give them a wider privilege in digital shopping.
First of all; let us know what a superapp really means
Successful super applications have been established around key services such as social messaging, digital payments, food technology, e-mobility, online shopping, and utility bill payment all over the world. More than a mere digital app, they have been operating with multiple features.
In Nepal, Hamro Patro is operating as a superapp with an array of services and options like remittance, digital contents, food recipes, gamers, pharmacy, news, messaging, e-cards and many more.
Tata Neu also aims to be a superapp in the Indian economy so as to provide services such as payments, content streaming, shopping, travel bookings, groceries, etc. under a single platform.
What can Tata Neu offer to its users?
Right now, Tata Neu is about to launch for its users in India. It is not available for download for Nepal. However, the users in India in enjoy a wide range of services and features:
- Merchant Payments
- QR Payments
- Utility Payments
- Instant Payments through direct bank transfer using Tata UPI
Also, you can earn NeuCoins every time you make a purchase, which can be redeemed for an equal amount of INR the next time you shop (1 NeuCoin = ₹1). This guarantees you unlimited freedom to earn anywhere, spend everywhere and maximize your savings.
Similar feature is made available by FonePay in Nepal. By making payments across various FonePay enabled payment platforms, you can earn the points and redeem them or spend on paying for goods and services through FonePay Offer App 2.0.
You can shop from groceries, to gadgets, to getaways on Tata Neu and pay using Tata Pay.
