Nikhil Kamath x Nandan Nilekani | People by WTF | Ep #3

[@TheLostPartyCookie.]

There is nobody more deserving of a Bharat Ratna than a man who started the Services revolution with Infosys, mapped the country with Aadhaar and gave us UPI. Nandan Nilekani(along with Mukesh Ambani) will go down as having the most impact on the course of Indian history in the 21st century.

[@zx1403]

What an extraordinary and enlightening 101 class on UPI, Aadhar, BHIM, and the DPI! Nikhil's incisive questioning of foundational concepts, combined with Nandan Nilekani Sir's patient and thorough responses, has created an invaluable resource for any young person eager to grasp these topics in depth. This podcast not only imparts essential knowledge but also inspires those interested in developing innovative services in this field. Our heartfelt thanks to both of you for dedicating your time to this enlightening discussion. We are indeed privileged to witness such a profound exchange on KZbin.

[@yourtechbuddy-dev]

I still remember when I joined Infosys back in 2015 before this big tech revolution in 2016, we were taught about our Founders I got fascinated when I heard about Nandan working in ADHAR now helping India to get better at that time I found it difficult to understand how can he make India better now seeing this podcast opens my eye .. Nandan is seriously the CTO of India 🇮🇳

[@ArvindGupta-lx4pf]

It's amazing how much he has done to empower the govt as a citizen... Don't think this was long enough I could listen to Nandan for 5-6 hours straight...I wonder why the Karnataka govt hasn't used him enough...

[@Kumar-zx8mj]

Karnataka govt busy filling their pockets and promoting their sons/daughter's for next line of corruption.... No vision, no mission only caste, religion and freebies... On top of that, people are happy with freebies and are awaiting free liquor as next phase for casting votes as determining factor to govern....

[@archanashastry9066]

Today people look at NRN ‘s comments in negative lens and look down on infy or one specific sector. What everyone forgets is that they are the OG of startup’s in India !!!!!!!!!I had the privilege of working under nadan’s leadership and the way these guys have given to the organisation and country in large is commendable. Not everyone can be entrepreneur and start company, if all are founders then who will work in those companies ????. Companies grow when everyone works together. Always adored Nadan and Rohini mam for thier work ❤❤❤❤🎉 thanks for bringing the legend on the show

[@counterpoint9260]

thats why you shouldnt celebrate entrepreuners too much..they cant work by themselves..just like not everybody cannot be PM..they need good employees too

This podcast felt like an information session, most of the topics were general information which can be easily found on Google, I wish Nikhil had done some research before meeting Nandan and should have focused more on challenges, efforts that went behind digitizing India.

[@nfuel99]

There maybe specific instructions to not bring out actual history because then it will be a revelation that Aadhar and UPI was architected during Congress govt and not Modi govt😂

[@nagame859]

Yeah I too felt the same.. though it was very informative but was generic. Could have definitely asked about challenges.

[@dhiraj22881]

Real Visionary, Best part he said at "Framework with regulation we unlock with policy then it flourishes innovation " so correct. Government push for digital is taking great shape. Unlocking innovation in India.

There is soo much knowledge in this podcast, great work drilling down on all the terms. knowing Nandan was behind lot of india's digitalization efforts is eye opening - UPI, Aadhaar, FastTag etc etc.. Lot's to learn, I loved how you tied it to AI and Blockchain and how well he answered those questions too! Heartfelt thanks for this effort

[@geeteshiyer]

Nikhil could have gone two ways with this podcast. Get Nandan sir to simplify the massive infra he built, or get him to speak about things we don’t know from the internet. He chose the former and it’s come out really well. But somehow wish there was more that came from this podcast ! Bravo though ! 🎉

I appreciate what Nikhil Kamath and Nandan Nilekani Sir are doing. The objective of this podcast: Someone who wants to do a startup can learn, build, and make wealth. Did we achieve the objective? - No Not all want to raise 1CR or Have 1CR money to build things, Nikhil. Is it easy for an indie guy to use the AA framework to make a financial app? No, Nandan Nilekani Sir because you need to pass regulation from either RIB, SEBI, IRDAI, or PFRDA. And it's not easy for an indie guy.
