Indian central bank-backed NPCI begins blockchain recruitment By Cointelegraph

The National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI) — an initiative led by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and 247 Indian banking companies — is on the lookout for a seasoned blockchain technologist to head and investigate opportunities for blockchain in current-day payment systems.

NPCI owns and operates the Unified Payments Interface (NASDAQ:) (UPI), India’s home-grown instant payment system that facilitates interbank peer-to-peer and person-to-merchant transactions. A recent LinkedIn job posting confirmed NPCI’s ongoing drive to hire a head of blockchain.
