The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority is an undertaking of the Uttar Pradesh government under the banner of the UP industrial act of 1976. It was set up in April 2001. The YEIDA was formed with the notion of implementing the Yamuna Expressway project and allied industrial development in the region such as logistics parks, housing and most recently, the aforementioned FinTech Hub. A fintech hub is inclined towards providing financial services, which rely heavily on information technology. The core functions, which may form a part of a fintech hub, are information technology (IT), information technology-enabled services (ITeS), commercial offices, banking and financial services (stock exchanges, brokers and intermediaries, insurers and intermediaries), knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and business process outsourcing (BPO), capital market and trading. It will offer services such as blockchain, exchange, payment, research, digital currency, online investment and banking, crowdfunding etc.
The FinTech hub which is set to be established in sector 7 of Noida will sprawl across 700 acres of land with the first phase covering 250 acres of land. The Indian FinTech industry grew nearly 282% between 2013 and 2014 with a net worth of 450 million USD. This market is projected to reach 76219 million USD by 2025.
