"Digital Public Infrastructure is an important strategic initiative for all nations to equitable societies as well as economic growth for all its citizens. What's important to realise is that it is "digital first" which means that it can be used to authenticate one's identity anywhere in the world. This is extremely relevant in India because a lot of people here do not have a birth certificate, and hence in need of a digital ID to travel and get work. It also opens up a large variety of financial services, products and resources such as banking, insurance, pensions, etc. to them."
