  "summary": "Apple Pay has officially arrived in India, marking a significant milestone in the country's digital payments landscape. The service, which allows iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users to make contactless payments at stores and online, has been launched in partnership with Axis Bank and payments provider PayU. Axis Bank credit cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks are the first supported cards for Apple Pay in India, with additional support for Mac expected to be rolled out later. While the initial rollout is limited, the service is already integrated with thousands of merchant networks through PayU, enabling secure and seamless authentication for digital payments.",
