OVERVIEW

India has already marked its footprint on the global stage by making remarkable strides in digital public infrastructure. The nation’s digital ecosystem is a testament to the innovative approaches and scalable solutions that have enhanced citizen-centric services, yielding increased efficiency and accessibility.
