‘Digital infra to play key role in reviving economy’

The Aadhaar has worked as a digital infrastructure backbone helping governments in India to roll out several real-time initiatives and service delivery capabilities for citizens and enterprises alike, said Nandan Nilekani, chief architect of Aadhaar and co-founder and chairman, Infosys.

The Aadhaar, serving as an electronic know-your-customer (KYC) tool, has triggered massive customer additions in the country’s financial and telecom sectors and similar explosive growth is expected across other segments as well in the years to come, said Mr. Nilekani at FICCI’s National Executive Committee Meeting here on Monday.
