WhatsApp set to join the Indian mobile money revolution

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is reportedly looking to get into mobile payments and has picked India as the best place to start.
India is in the middle of an ambitious state-sponsored bid to move away from its current cash-based economy to a digital one. The government kick-started the bid by taking a bunch of currency out of circulation, leading to an entirely predictable wailing and gnashing of teeth. The paid seemed to be short-lived, however, indicating the Indian public is willing to adapt.
