Leadership Speaks: A Move Towards Everyday Digital Mobility
Rajiv Naresh, MD & CEO, Navi Limited
“India’s metros move more than a crore people every day, yet many still rely on cash and queues. At Navi, we believe daily payments shouldn’t slow anyone down. By integrating with the ONDC Network, we’re making metro travel truly digital — one app, one QR ticket, one seamless tap on Navi UPI. For commuters on the go, this is how everyday mobility should feel.”
Nitin Nair, Senior Executive Director, ONDC
“Navi’s integration shows how open networks are transforming India’s digital journey. With a single integration, Navi now enables QR ticket purchases across five metro systems — quick, easy, and all within one app. As more companies adopt open protocols, consumers benefit from connected, simplified services. This is how open ecosystems evolve from innovation to real-world impact.”
Currently Live in Three Cities, More on the Way
