Indian travellers can now use India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to book tickets online for Dubai's Burj Khalifa. This partnership between NEOPAY, NPCI International, and Emaar marks the first time UPI has been accepted for e-commerce transactions in the UAE.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The payment rails for Indian tourists to pay online in the UAE just went live. If you sell travel, tickets or experiences to the Indian market, your checkout now needs a UPI option to compete.
