Over the last decade, India has been building a set of digital building blocks from identity to payment to credentialing to data, across domains. This loosely coupled, interoperable, federated set of digital building blocks, generally known as India Stack, has allowed India to leapfrog in the areas of social welfare and financial inclusion. Most of these are in the form of protocols and open APIs allowing the market, society and government actors to build diverse innovation in the form of apps and platforms on top. India is now extending these design principles to further build additional building blocks in education, health and other domains to make nonlinear transformation at a billion people scale. In this talk, Dr. Pramod Varma, who has been the Chief Architect for most of these digital building blocks, speaks about the big picture, learnings and the impact.
