citizen stack

eventsOver the past fifteen years, India has successfully built and scaled a digital-first nation to enable its diverse citizens to be formally included in the economy. Now, we want to share our learnings with the world.events

Event

At the First United Nations Conference on Citizen Stack: Digital Public Infrastructure, Transformative Technology for Citizens, on April 25 & 26, 2024 India invites all nations to understand its Citizen Stack approach and success in building and scaling its Digital Public Infrastructure.

Event

The two-day event at the United Nations HQ in New York is a continuum of India's G20 Presidency in 2023 and will showcase notable instances from Philippines & Ethiopia who, despite having traversed a differentiated path have essentially arrived at the same national outcome. We encourage other countries to assimilate our approach, understand other possibilities and blueprint their own national Digital Public Infrastructure.

India Stack (India's Citizen Stack) is a 'sum-of-parts' technology that despite being privately provisioned is publicly owned infrastructure and delivers a gamut of citizen services encompassing digital identity, payments, open networks and data that enable other innovations using this as a national digital backbone.

It was built to empower our 1.4 billion citizens and leapfrog our country's journey into a product-driven, innovation-led, and high-growth global state.

Data

The 'data' layer of India Stack aims to restore the ownership and control over user data to its rightful owners.

Open Ecosystems

At a core level, the driving vision of India Stack is of open networks that establish a level playing field for members of a digital ecosystem.

Payments and Banking

Financial inclusion through a free real-time mobile payments system and a no minimum balance bank account for every Indian to connect with the digital economy.

Identity

The bedrock of India Stack is a set of digital identity products that can be used to quickly authenticate a user's identity.
