If Shakespeare or any Rennaisance writer were to describe the buy now pay later scheme, what do you think would be their definition?

Thou art can’t pay now? No worries! 

But what thou hearts will pay thou shall at will!

Before we go any further, my apologies for a feeble attempt to reconstruct what these great souls have given the world.

Renaissance or otherwise, we know the charm behind BNPL. A super-smooth payment experience, easy credit without excruciating efforts for procurement, and flexible repayment efforts, among others. The numbers speak for themselves; just take a look below

India’s BNPL or Buy Now Pay Later market is estimated at $3-3.5 billion today but could potentially grow to $45-50 billion by 2026, according to consultancy firm RedSeer. The firm also estimates that the number of BNPL users in the country may touch 80-100 million by 2026 from the 10-15 million estimated currently.

But before that,
