Digital identity and e-sign technologies have enabled billions of transactions.
From launching a digital identity system used by 1.3 billion people, to evolving from a primarily cash-based society to the country with the highest volume of digital payments in the world, India's digital transformation is a remarkable success story. A set of public sector digital technologies known as the "India Stack," that includes layers for proving identity, handling digital payments, and sharing data, has enabled profound societal impacts. Now street vendors in India can accept instant digital payments even if they don't have WiFi or electricity. Wait times at borders have been cut from days to minutes.
Join CHM to find out from Pramod Varma, former chief architect of the digital identity system Aadhaar and numerous India Stack technologies, how it all works.
