UPI vs cash: ask 5 real vendors

India’s payment revolution happened at the thela, not in the boardroom. Interview 5 real small vendors — chaiwala, sabziwala, autowala, kirana owner — about UPI vs cash: what they prefer, what it costs them, what customers don’t see.

Steps

  1. 01Prepare 6-8 questions with AI, then make them conversational: preference, % of sales on UPI, settlement issues, disputes, what changed since they adopted it.
  2. 02Interview 5 real vendors of different types. Note exact phrases — the gold is in their words.
  3. 03Look for the patterns AND the contradictions between vendors.
  4. 04Write the field report: what the payment revolution actually looks like from the other side of the counter.

Tools: 5 real vendors, A notebook, ChatGPT or Gemini for question prep
