For those outside India and/or non-active users of UPI - it drives so many transactions that even for an engineer, I forget how often I use it:

  - Payments between family members
  - Payments for every tiny/small item - a bag a chips or a cup of tea for example
  - Payments for car mechanic, plumber, or other services
  - Payments for online shopping or services - yes web apps show the UPI QR code and I can pay from my phone by scanning. Mobile apps will simply open the UPI app's payment screen
  - Buses, flights, trams, taxis, trains - online or on road

On an average day in a city like Kolkata, me and my partner make up to 20-30 transactions. I live in a small Himalayan village most of the year and I still make roughly 6-8 transactions a day.
