Indian messaging firm Gupshup is talking with several handset makers as it seeks to preload its app, GSPay, onto feature phones. The app, which uses SMS messaging to execute UPI payments without a data plan or internet connectivity, features several levels of security, with multiple levels of encryption and authentication, according to Gupshup. The company recently partnered with HMD, the company that now makes Nokia-branded phones. It also says it will work with other firms to introduce additional services.
