From a quick glance at the website, the only two such products I can see are the "Susvara" (meaning "with notes") headphones and "Deva" (meaning "god") series headphones. Both of those words are Sanskrit. Their hindi equivalents are quite similar sounding (Susvar and Dev).

> minors in India who use it for daily purchases.
Interesting, I haven't seen this in my city (Chennai).
I myself learned of this when I attempted to set up GPay, but was blocked from signing up because I'm not 18

It's nice that the EU is giving room to such innovation, but I wanted to point out that stuff like this is quite widespread in India:
Every shop on the road nowadays has a QR code you scan to make a payment using any UPI[0] compatible app. Thus, the age old problem of a shop not having change is quite rare nowadays (if you're not a minor that is, because all UPI apps are 18+). UPI is centered around your phone number, which is linked to your bank account as part of KYC. Thus, you can make a payment to anyone who doesn't even have UPI using their phone number, thus transferring funds directly into their bank account.
DigiLocker[1] is gaining popularity, with some airports allowing you in without physical ID if you have your ID on the app and scan yourself in. I've only been to one airport that does this before, and I sadly was not aware of it at the time.
It's nice that more and more countries are realizing the usefulness of this as tech becomes more and more ubiquitous and accessible to everyone.

Could this potentially, have any chance, of being a method/branch of proton able to run the Vanguard anti-cheat, i.e being capable of running Valorant?
It's just a wish, but would be really nice if true.
