    MUMBAI: When Sanjay Dutt says something’s “solid,” you know it packs a punch. And this time, the star wasn’t talking about a movie but about Vega, the indigenously developed payment switch from Getepay that promises to change how India transacts.

    At a glittering launch event at Taftoon Lounge, BKC, Mumbai, Dutt joined hands with Pravin Sharma, founder and managing director of Getepay, to unveil Vega, a homegrown, next-gen payment switch that’s as fast as it is secure. Headquartered in Jaipur, Getepay has steadily built its reputation as a digital payments enabler, and with Vega, it’s now aiming for the big league.

    “I’ve always believed in backing things that are real, solid, and made with heart and that’s exactly what Vega is,” Dutt said, cheering for a platform designed to empower India’s entrepreneurs, from local shopkeepers to small-town retailers. “This is about giving every entrepreneur the confidence to go digital. That’s the Bharat I want to cheer for.”

    Built on a microservices-based architecture, Vega delivers high-speed, high-volume transaction processing while ensuring real-time settlements and automated reconciliation. Think of it as the invisible engine powering India’s cashless ambitions routing transactions seamlessly even when networks are jammed.

    For Getepay’s Sharma, the launch marks a milestone moment. “Vega is not just a technological leap, it’s a bridge for millions of micro and small entrepreneurs powering India’s economy. With Vega, we aim to simplify digital payments for banks and merchants alike,” he explained. “Sanjay Dutt was the perfect fit, he represents strength, resilience, and relatability, just like our users across Bharat.”

    Under the hood, Vega connects banks and fintechs through a future-ready framework, ensuring compliance with Indian regulatory standards while maintaining top-notch reliability. Its modular design enables faster deployment, giving financial partners a smooth upgrade to modern infrastructure without business disruption.

    Beyond its tech prowess, Vega underscores Getepay’s commitment to Make in India, financial inclusion, and digital empowerment. The company envisions a future where even the smallest entrepreneur whether a tea stall owner or a kirana shop operator can accept digital payments with the same ease and confidence as a corporate giant.

    In a digital economy where speed, trust, and scalability are everything, Vega may well be the switch that powers Bharat’s next leap. And with Sanjay Dutt playing cheerleader, the digital revolution just found its blockbuster moment.
