• January 2019
No society can meet its aspirational roles especially in democracies without a much stronger understanding and adaptation to its dependence on digital data, software, hardware, and their political and economic structures — Siddharth speaks about the new opportunities that come with these digital dependencies.
Siddharth Shetty works on India Stack, it's a set of open APIs (comprised of Aadhaar, eKYC, eSign, BHIM UPI, and Digital Locker) that allows governments & businesses to utilise a unique digital Infrastructure to solve India's hard problems in financial inclusion. Siddarth's primary focus is on empowering Indians with control of their financial, health, telecom skills and education data through Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA). He is also working on technology for Public Credit Registry by Reserve Bank of India that would be a real-time registry of credit contracts to increase access to credit by eliminating information asymmetries; Digital Sky to enable safe operations of millions of drones in Indian airspace; DigiYatra that would enable seamless multi-modal travel, and the National Health Stack that would lower costs, improve access, and improve quality of healthcare for hundreds of millions of Indians.
