Network People Services Technologies Limited (NPST) has announced a strategic partnership with Infinity Infoway to enable identity-linked digital payments through an embedded platform integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Under the partnership, NPST’s TimePay Prepaid Card will be integrated with Infinity Infoway’s ERP to allow student IDs, employee IDs and driver IDs to function as prepaid payment credentials. The objective is to embed controlled digital payments into day-to-day institutional workflows, enabling transactions that are governed by operational policies rather than manual oversight.
Embedded payments within ERP-led workflows
Infinity Infoway’s ERP system manages identity issuance, role definition, access rights, approvals and policy enforcement. NPST’s payment layer is integrated into this framework, allowing organisations to define transaction rules such as who can spend, where spending is permitted and what categories of expenses are allowed.
The companies stated that the approach is intended to improve operational efficiency while keeping payments auditable, compliant and policy-driven. The solution is designed for both offline and online acceptance points, making it applicable for campuses, enterprise settings and transport ecosystems.
Use cases in education and mobility
For educational institutions, the platform enables prepaid transactions across approved on-campus merchants and defined categories such as canteens, bookshops and transport services. Parents can preload funds, reducing cash handling while improving transaction visibility and oversight for the institution.
For transport companies and fleet operators, the solution supports prepaid payments linked to driver identity credentials, with controls such as authorised fuel stations, approved spending categories and predefined limits. The model is positioned to address operational challenges such as fuel overbilling, misuse of cash advances and delayed reconciliation, while creating a digital trail for audit and compliance requirements.
Roll-out roadmap
The solution will be deployed across India in phases, beginning with controlled roll-outs in select educational institutions and enterprises. Broader expansion will follow based on partner requirements and applicable regulatory guidelines.
Deepak Chand Thakur, CEO and co-founder of NPST, said the partnership aims to move beyond basic access to payments by embedding transaction capability into everyday institutional credentials while maintaining control and transparency.
Bhavesh Gadhethariya, founder and managing director of Infinity Infoway, said the collaboration is intended to build an identity-based payments ecosystem for students, employees and drivers and strengthen Infinity’s ERP proposition in the education and enterprise segments.
