“We obviously want to showcase our technological platforms to set us apart in the Global South, but we also want the developed countries to take a look at them,” a senior official from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said.
UPI service for foreign delegates without needing a bank account, RuPay payments that can be made through accessories such as smartwatches, India’s digital rupee, and a database platform that can be used to lend money for various purposes — these are the tools in India’s digital public infrastructure arsenal that will be on display for foreign delegates during the G20 Summit later this week.
“We obviously want to showcase our technological platforms to set us apart in the Global South, but we also want the developed countries to take a look at them,” a senior official from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said. “We want to showcase the platforms we have built for a country of India’s scale.”
The Indian Express had earlier reported that throughout India’s presidency of the G20, it has played up the country’s efforts at creating digital public infrastructure and has also explored other nations’ interest in adopting the underlying technologies that power India’s digital public infrastructure (DPI) push, which it brands as the India Stack.
