Project to take DPI to 50 countries in five years is on: Nandan Nilekani
digital public infrastructure to 50 countries in five years and currently it is being used in 15 countries, said Nandan Nilekani, non-executive chairman of Infosys, in response to a question from Werner Vogels, CTO, Amazon, here in Bengaluru, on Friday.
They were addressing an event organised by e-commerce platform for artisans, Zwende, in which Vogels is an investor and advisor.
Nilekani was giving a quick reckoner on digital public infrastructure that India has in identity, and payments, and was recounting his journey from 2009, from becoming the founding chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to Aadhaar-enabled KYC to opening of Jan Dhan bank accounts.
Aadhaar is a twelve-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by all residents of India, based on their biometrics and demographic data. The data is collected by the UIDAI.
“Today we are 1.3 billion people who have the ID and most of India has been covered, and they’re using it 80 billion times a day online real time authentication in sub second response time. We had all the pieces to participate in an economy: identity, bank account and mobile connectivity,” he said.
