Meet a Visionary Behind India’s Digital Boom

[@joshuajoshua8417]

Nandan Nilekani is a Kannadiga. Kannada Pride.

[@bhawishhh]

Morgan stanley have more than 750+ videos and their oldest video is around 10 years back, still this is the highest viewed video from their channel ! Incredible power of India. 🇮🇳

[@prasanth2601]

Well we Indians watch anything which boasts about our country. So it's not a big wonder

[@DeletedAccountForSure]

From fighting elections as Congress party member to lead India's digitalization by working with Modi, Nandan Nilekani has come a long way.

[@sanjayvaidya4925]

He lost his deposit. You would garland a turd.

[@raunak7461]

Country come first...Party 2nd or 3rd

[@thirupathit9803]

Nandan ji truly deserves to be conferred Bharat Ratna for his contribution to d Nation, especially digital transformation.

[@bijoydas449]

I fully second this proposal. Why not ...

[@satheeshbabub9762]

Nandan Nilekani was one of great tech minds of India! But it is unfair to credit as if he is the visionary behind Aadhar. He is the head of the project and he should be credited for making the Aadhar generation framework and management system behind it. The proposal was on the table well before at the end of Kargil war and hence then many govt officers/offices were involved. So it is their vision and Nandan made a huge contribution to get this implemented! May be we can say he is the man behind the software and processes( to some extent.) Pls don’t misunderstand I am not against Nandan but at the same we cannot falsely give him sole credit! There are more visionaries in current gov who made sure it is well utilised & so we are here! Don’t forget the system was put on the table with no great use and was taking shape in snails pace in UPA times! Thanks to all including Nandan!

[@msardesai1]

He should be given no credit since he was constrained by corrupt congress party who knew that things like gas subsidy will eventually be controlled by the system

[@sanjayvaidya4925]

Yup. All our data outsourced to usa. Clap for IT coolie king part 2.

[@mrgyani]

Yes, only credit goes to you know who..

[@nagarajdn7385]

Present prime minister & his ex- cabinet minister were against Aadhar

[@HsenagNarawseramap]

Yeah even social security number was an idea way before Kargil. Ideas don’t matter. It’s trivial to have an idea. Execution is everything.

Here Infosys won the contract to develop the income tax portal in 2019. It was intended to be a tool to make it easier for Indian taxpayers to file and claim refunds. However, its June 2021 debut was so badly botched that within a week of launch the government reverted to manual tax filings.

[@beingrational1302]

Thanku Nandan Nilekani Sir..Your contribution is much more than so many Politicians and bureaucrats who are actually there for Governance but work for personal interest. Millions of downtrodden people in India receive DBT in their accounts which would not have been possible without your vision.🙏

I still remember the digital revolution, i was 2nd year college student then. Internet got very affordable. Now i am developing softwares using AI for various Indian languages. Like Nandan sir mentioned India is leap frogging.

Wow! 12 mins of real substance. Wish you great health and a long life Mr Nilekani. India's digital revolution will carry on the path shown by you.

[@GururajBN]

Another excellent interview of Mr.Nandan Nilekani. It is a re-education listening to him. He gives insight into future. A supportive government has been as much responsible for the transformation he has brought about.

[@abhilashg8439]

His Book Imagining India set stage for Aadhaar! Read it and we see his Vision. The team including Pramod Varma played major roles. Btw it is true, UPA was ovecautious while NDA let these free. Also to notice Nandan and team stayed more neutral due to which NDA also took it up. This is important to note! More power to you with DPI.

[@nareshkhandwala6021]

. Listening to Two Stalwarts in their own fields was really great experience. Many things to atleast know, for a layman, what things Government and people of got and will get much more, was really interesting. Hats off to Nandanji for leaving Infosys and taking Government job to do superb things for people of India. His ideas are going to be accepted by many countries. Many thanks to Ridhambhai for arranging this meeting and asking very pertinent Questions.

[@mrgyani]

Wow, I had no idea Nandan was behind UPI as well, since 2013.. 7:04 And aadhar since 2006 4:17

[@mrgyani]

@@chokkalingamsivamd6947 yes because his plan was to open millions of bank accounts and do direct transfer before elections. Nilekani mentions it clearly - PM asked him about how direct transfers can be done. And about linking mobile number, bank account and Aadhaar.. Nilekani's motive was much more selfless - he only had vision for country.

[@Btownfela]

@@mrgyani The interest in direct bank transfers was to distribute welfare schemes. 😂 What a guy Mr. Gyani it seems 😂😂

[@ShameerudheenPT]

Nandan Nilekani is a great visionary thanks to him and his team and our all governments who supported and encouraged the idea of Aadhaar, UPI and all. Because of that we are feeling ease of life in India a little bit. Now to grow our economy I think our government has to reduce taxes which is more than 12%. In India indirect taxes range upto 28%. This make people to turn back from buying things and constructing things. For example tax for cement in India is 28%. This make construction of house miserable and there by people will construct no/small houses and there reduced purchases and reduced employ too.

Govt and the big wigs of India should invest incessantly in Human Resource and Development , ploughed into Research and innovative development for India by Indians to the world. No country should hold India at ransom at anytime in future as that is how we will be able to come out of the colonial mindset.
