Telco’s mobile based digital authentication and identity in digital ecosystem and economy image

This report was produced by Deloitte India for the August edition of Communications Today.

An estimated 650 million people will be online in India by 2020, with the mobile phone acting as the primary device for access. Today, c. 60% of the search queries and 70% of e-commerce transactions take place on mobile. By 2020 c 25% of India’s population would have shopped online at least once. To capitalise on this burgeoning mobile-based digital ecosystem, many digital merchants are adopting or transitioning to ‘Mobile First’ or ‘Mobile Only’ strategy.

Increased online usage and transactions have outgrown the traditional username-password model; users now struggle to remember all of their login credentials. As a result, two major issues have arisen: first, security risks and inconvenience for users, and second, rise in abandoned transactions and service delivery risks for digital merchants.
