Our Purpose & Heritage

Empowering Neighborhoods.
Connecting Communities.

Qpay is an offline shopping, payment facilitation, and rewards ecosystem operated by Mythri Smart Bazaar Private Limited, based in Kerala, India.

Our Story

Built for the shop next door.

“We built Qpay on a simple thesis: what if the money shops spend on customer acquisition was returned directly to their neighborhood customers as up to 100% cash rewards? Everyone wins.”
01

The Bridge

Qpay bridges the gap between traditional offline retail merchants and modern digital consumers by serving as a technological intermediary that connects shoppers with independent local merchants.

02

The Pressure

In today’s retail landscape, local mom-and-pop stores and neighborhood retailers face intense pressure from hyper-funded online quick-commerce apps. Traditional shop owners cannot afford costly digital ad campaigns or coupon distributors.

Please note: Qpay is a technology platform and payment intermediary, not a bank, financial institution, or NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company).
