In a world where financial technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, the informal sector in India faces both challenges and opportunities as digital payments gain momentum. Arin Ashutosh Gupta, a Grade 12 student at Maxfort School, Rohini, has taken up the task of exploring this transformation through his latest documentary. With a focus on how digital payments are reshaping the livelihoods of millions who operate in the informal economy, Arin's project aims to shed light on the impacts-both positive and negative-of this rapid transition.

"Whenever I would buy street food or talk to local shopkeepers, I noticed a growing number of them preferred digital payment methods. It made me wonder-how are these technologies really affecting their businesses?" Arin reflects on the inspiration behind his documentary. He had to bring the reality of the situation to the public. He sought the advice of Yashi Shukla, a renowned global career counsellor. While discussing his passion to address this issue and create a tangible solution, it was Yashi who encouraged Arin to take up a documentary project.
