Digital public infrastructure fuelling innovation, says Nandan Nilekani

India’s digital public infrastructure (DPI) ecosystem is fuelling market innovation and value creation, accelerating the emergence of new startups, and enabling them to challenge incumbents, said Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of Infosys who spearheaded the country’s unique identification project, on Thursday.

“Now clearly all the pieces are there — technology, the interfaces (DPI), and the venture money,” said Nilekani, during a fireside chat with Anil Kumar, chief executive officer, Redseer Strategy Consultants, during the consulting firm’s “Ground Zero 9.0, Resilience in Action” event here.
