Beyond the Indus podcast hosts Joe Wallen and Tushar Shetty speak to Gaurav Narain about layers of this new technology and its impact on the Indian economy.
Join Joe and Tush as they explore the revolutionary new technology that is transforming India’s governance and economy – The India Stack. Starting with the digital biometric Aadhar program that provided 1.4 billion Indian with the world’s most advanced digital ID, integrated with a publicly owned payments platform and e-authentication of documents that eliminated the need for physical paperwork, India’s new approach to digital public infrastructure is, to quote Bill Gates, “leapfrogging the world.” We speak to Gaurav Narain who helps us break down the layers of this new technology and understand its impact on the Indian economy.
We also discuss India’s new Green Energy policy, caste discrimination laws in the United States, and the response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington, D.C.
