“For many in India, GPay is effectively a replacement for the physical wallet and everything in it – cash, bills, cards, tickets, etc,” wrote Sengupta. Users can now pay each other, the vegetable seller, pay bills, trade stocks, and even ‘virtually travel around India.' He said that GPay today was a lot more full featured than when it was launched as Tez (in 2017).

Google Pay executive Caesar Sengupta addressed the new icon for the app on Twitter. The new Google Pay icon hasn't rolled out for all users yet, but will likely be available to a wider audience within the next few weeks.

Google had recently introduced new icons for many of its apps and services, including Gmail and Google Workspace products - a move that hasn't been too popular among users. He added that icons, like products, need to evolve. A Google executive noted on Twitter that the new icon is meant to reflect the recent changes the app had undergone.

Google has started rolling out a new, multi-coloured icon for the Google Pay India app.
