Digital infra will help Indian economy grow, says Nandan Nilekani

Bengaluru: Digital infrastructure would play a major role in reviving the Indian economy, Infosys Co-founder and Chairman Nandan Nilekani said on Monday.
“India’s digital data architecture will set the tone for business revival. The country has witnessed a dramatic transformation through the Aadhaar-based, e-KYC (know your customer) and online payments,” he said at apex business chamber Ficci’s national executive committee meeting here.
Noting that data was becoming central to the people and governments the world over, Nilekani said there would be a big change once data became the basis for decision-making in many sectors.
