The Why Behind Peti

Why Offline Payments?

In a country where digital payments are growing but infrastructure lags behind, offline capability isn't a luxury — it's a necessity.

The Problems with Today's Payments

Digital payments have transformed India, but they still fail when it matters most

📵

Internet Failures

Even in cities, networks drop. In rural areas, stable internet is rare. When a customer is ready to pay but the network isn't, the sale is lost.

App Crashes

Payment apps are getting heavier. Low-end phones can't keep up. Apps crash, freeze, or take forever to load. Customers get frustrated.

OTP & SMS Delays

OTPs take too long to arrive or don't arrive at all. Network congestion during festivals makes it worse. Payments time out.

Smartphone Dependency

Current digital payments require smartphones. Many customers and merchants only have basic phones. Others face battery or storage issues.

Real Payment Failures, Real Impact

Stories from merchants across India

"During Diwali rush, UPI stopped working for 2 hours. I had to turn away customers. Lost at least ₹15,000 in sales."

"In my village, internet works for only 2-3 hours a day. Customers can't always wait. They go to the shop that takes cash."

"At the weekly mela, network gets so congested that nothing works. Everyone goes back to cash because there's no other option."
