Today we live in the world of social media which is basically the part of so-called emerging Digital world. People are using digital media for everything. In recent years, we have seen various innovations in online banking domain & NCPI's IMPS or Immediate Money Transfer is one the most popular innovation last year. All  banks are also trying to use social media as an option or substitute for the traditional way of banking. Recently I have been invited for one of the similar initiatives by the one of the major private bank in India "Axis Bank " which is also one of the  FORBES Fortune 2000 companies in the world this year. I was one of the privileged bloggers from Mumbai who got the opportunity to interact with the IT & Development team of Axis bank which includes the creator of their newly launched mobile App.

"Axis Digital" event was conducted by Axis bank in association with Blogadda at their corporate office.
