01 Overview

Digital payments are India's default — UPI alone crosses billions of transactions a month. AdelSocial builds secure payment super-apps with wallets, UPI, bill payments, recharges and merchant QR, integrated with licensed PSP and banking partners and built to PCI-DSS standards, so you can launch a Paytm or PhonePe-style product with confidence.

02 The Challenges

Problems we solve

The operational friction killing growth right now. Each one eliminated by what we build.

01

Compliance is hard

UPI, PPI wallet and KYC rules require the right licensed partners and secure architecture.

02

Security & fraud risk

Payment apps are prime fraud targets and need eKYC, encryption and monitoring.

03

Fragmented features

Users want wallet, UPI, bills, recharges and rewards in one place, not many apps.

04

Reconciliation headaches

Failed transactions, refunds and settlements must reconcile perfectly at scale.
