New Delhi: India’s Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, expressed unwavering confidence in India’s global influence and its transformative digital initiatives. He emphasised that India’s call for international cooperation and inclusive growth, coupled with its remarkable strides in digitization, has resonated profoundly with the global community. Chandrasekhar asserted that India’s G20 presidency is set to deliver powerful messages that will leave an indelible mark on the world stage.
In a recent interview with the media in anticipation of the G20 Leaders’ Summit scheduled for September 9-10 in New Delhi, Chandrasekhar described India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) a force whose time has come, and added that nothing can stop it.
He said the Indian approach on DPI smashes old normal, which was about big tech companies dominating the space, and paves the way for new normal, one that is open source, nimble, consumer-driven, and ‘non-intermediated’.
The Minister of State for Electronics and IT was referring to the country’s payment, identity and other population-scale platforms which have captured attention of many nations with several MoUs already signed. India is developing its DPI as a core utility for every citizen.
