Abstract
India has unique problems around engaging with distinct diaspora of population offering value that cuts across their needs. Digital Public Infrastructure provides transparent, trusted and efficient for these value deliveries suited to specific needs for citizens. With concepts like UPI, ONDC and Aadhaar, it has been proven without doubt that such an ecosystem provides for an agile approach to delivering value to every section of society, built on digital rails. We will delve deeper into some of these initiatives that create a seamless and equitable platform for ordinary citizens to engage, interact, and extract value through well-authenticated, trusted, and efficient processes. Digital Payments and Commerce: A trusted and transparent ecosystem built on digital rails.
