According to the report released by the G20 task force, digital public infrastructure (DPI) needs public and private participation and innovation to address complex and pressing challenges such as achieving sustainable growth, financial inclusion, reducing costs, and harnessing data for development.
As per the ‘Report of India’s G20 task force on digital public infrastructure,’ the focus on building new DPI and increasing the adoption of existing platforms. The learnings from DPI should be widely available by setting global standards, specifications, and best practices. This approach will go a long way to facilitate efficient and effective implementations of DPI by other countries.
Further, the report added that India has been engaging with international bodies such as the United Nations (UN) and the G20, especially under its presidency, to facilitate the export of its successful digital initiatives. Known as the Indian stack, the country’s digital infrastructure comprises platforms such as Aadhaar, DigiLocker, DigiYatra and UPI, which have developed through collaboration across sectors.
India also plans to increase exports of its DPI and digital public goods (DPG) by developing new platforms to help emerging economies with financial inclusion, innovation, and economic growth.
