Digital public infrastructure will transform Indian economy: Nilekani

Digital public infrastructure like Aadhaar, unified payments interface (UPI) and digilocker, will transform India from an informal, low-productivity, multiple set of micro-economies to a formal high-productivity mega economy, Chairman and Co-Founder of Infosys Nandan Nilekani said on Sunday.

“Fundamentally, India is going from an offline, informal, low productivity, multiple set of micro-economies to a single online, formal, high-productivity mega economy, a trend that will continue over next 20 years,” Nilekani said at B20 Summit, a key engagement group in G20.
