Financial services portal Payworld has decided to rope in its retailer base to help rural folks across the country’s hinterland to register for the Covid vaccine through the Cowin website.
Disclosing the plans, Payworld COO Praveen Dhabhai said that the company’s retailer base of 5 lakh people across the 638 districts in the country are trained for all kinds of digital transactions. Since the Covid vaccination requires registration through the Cowin website or app the company has decided to leverage its retailers for the country’s vaccination drive.

The advent of technology has sparked an evolution in various industries. The digital payments segment is no exception. While digital payments aren t an entirely new concept, the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of payment methods such as UPI (unified payments interface), credit/debit cards, mobile banking, etc, across the country.
While these are highly convenient and largely secure ways, it s best to exercise caution when you make online payments given the increased cases of cybersecurity breaches.

Praveen Dhabhai, CEO, PayWorld considers his family as the most important part of his life. The work from home during the pandemic helped him have all his meals daily with his family. My son is settled in Germany while my daughter is working at IBM in Gurgaon. Even though our busy schedules leave very little bandwidth to be in constant touch, we ensure that we still get together at dinner to have family time. It is the most relaxing time of the day when I get chatting with my wife and daughter. I consider it a bonus to take their valuable opinions while I get a chance to update myself about their professional and personal lives. And since we belong to a world ruled with technology, it gets easier to connect and share our thoughts through video calls and face time with my son, he says.
