Just 1 year ago – Asheesh Birla stated:

“I think that in our pipeline we have probably 50 percent of the market in India, either integrated onto Ripple or in the deal, in the sort of pipeline to be signed to India.”

India is absolutely massive. According to Asheesh, onboarding the Indian market onto XRP is an important goal of Ripple. India has the world’s second-fastest growing economy after China, and is expected to be an economic superpower by 2030, according to a U.S. intelligence report.
