==================================================
Thank you very much and welcome to this session we're talking about the India
story for the next decade or should we call it decade as Lascom calls it you
know in the last few months every time I listen to any global CEO or global
business leader such as Agita Gopinath, Aura Sundar Pichai, Aura Satya Nadeela or in Ardind Krishna one thing that excites all of them is India's digital
infrastructure, India's tag, digital public goals, you know call it what you will but we're really seeing so much of
excitement around this and people believe that you know this is something unique that
India has built technology rails that India has built in various spheres and you know how this could have a game-changing impact and we've already seen this in some sense I mean
GEO wouldn't have been GEO without an other EKYC similar for Zerotha and you know many other
businesses have benefited from these rails but if you can give us your
perspective on India's story for the next decade from a technology lens how is
digital public infrastructure going to drive it, you know how do you envision this going forward?
Okay so let me begin and you took a lot of names of the global leaders I would add
Chandra from Tata Sans, he wrote about digital nations sometime back and that was pre-pandemic so I think there's a lot of awareness and
excitement about the opportunity of what digital can do to really accelerate
India's progress in the grassroots. I think we've seen how billion scale platforms have
come out of India, UPI, Aghaar, Owen are great examples of how in adversity India really pulled out a lot of acceleration and these are now
not just proof of concept they're proof of scale. These are opportunities and
capabilities that many countries would really love to have because they have
put India on a different growth trajectory. For anybody who's traveling globally amongst any of us you feel the lack of UPI when you are
transacting in any other part of the world and it's just become so much part of our day-to-day work and I think more than that I would also speak about the
foundations on which these platforms are built so there is very strong awareness
about data, about the privacy, security, trust principles that a lot of these platforms should have. So I truly believe that digital
public goods are a huge acceleration point and we just got the story started. You look at all the businesses that are getting built on them
and I really call it make, make, make. So you make in India, you've already done that with these platforms, you're making new IP based on these
platforms and now you can take this IP globally and make for the world which companies like DCS are doing a great job of. So I would
really say that there is a very strong momentum that we have in the country with digital public goods. I'll hand it over to
you. Thank you. I think that's a great question. In addition to all the points that Anand just made, two other important points that I would like,
typically countries are endowed with some natural advantages and they'll have some natural advantages. The best thing for any country to do is to
leverage things that deliver it to natural advantage and ideally also mitigate against natural disadvantages that one has got.
And we can set many examples. In the interest of time, from India point of view, it is not a very well endowed country in terms of
natural resources, but in terms of manpower, they're very abundant. And so that skilled technology manpower is very abundant in India.
So technology is a natural ally for us. And it's also a great natural advantage for India that technology is today the solution for most of the
problems, whether it be looking for countries' point of view or a business point of view or even a planet's point of view.
So to take on technology as a country is a very natural thing for India to do. And as the technology industry here,
we couldn't be more delighted that this is how things are timed. Secondly, the natural disadvantage of India is the
last number of people who, and it is not very equitable in terms of access to many of these resources.
So how do we take advantage of this technology which is a natural advantage for India? And it's going to go a long way further.
But also design, whenever we are scaling it, we design it in a way that it also helps the less equitable half also benefit from it.
And rather than let the network effect, which typically comes with a winner take all kind of outcome, that would be a disaster for any country.
If not a disaster, at least it would be a great opportunity late to waste. So the best thing about digital infrastructure is that
whether you take it in terms of the payment system, whether you reach the last man-woman in the country or healthcare or any other
payment system that you take, it has the ability to equitably reach every Indian regardless of their status and so on, level of access and so on.
The Indian government has that vision and it's building everything towards equitable and fair access to everybody.
This is the biggest highlight, which I think is one of the reasons why it is attracting attention all over the world.
In fact, since you said equitable, I think ONDC is an approach to doing that in terms of making more accessible for small sellers to sell their products online.
But to your point on make-make-make, that's a very interesting analogy.
And when I think of the make-make-make framework, UPI fits right into that, made in India.
Then you have platforms or apps that have come on top of that, which are hugely successful and they came up just in the last five years.
If you look at a phone pay or a Google pay, in fact, I think Google cited this example to the US, which is something that they should be doing.
And UPI is now going global. They tied up with Singapore as well last week.
But in terms of the end impact, you know, Krishna spoke about how we should use this to our advantage to build a more equitable, inclusive society.
Do you think this could set off a virtuous cycle where you have more private enterprises building on top of this digital public infrastructure, better competition, better services,
bringing down the cost of transactions for people in the country?
If you can't tell, you know, paint a picture for us on what the end impact is going to be on the ground.
We talk about equitable, we talk about inclusion, but how is it going to play out?
So, I will maybe quote an example that I just heard, and a quote that I just heard from Sri Padnavis, just about half an hour back on the main stage.
He spoke about the vision for having 100,000 street vendors having capability to receive payments.
And he said that's happened in Maharashtra itself, in Mumbai itself.
I think the QR code is almost ubiquitous.
Yeah, so to me, that's the best place to start because then you said enterprises, and generally when you say enterprises, people think about big companies.
But if a street vendor on a Pushkar is using that QR code, I think that's where the velocity of money is taking a totally different shape.
Today, two out of five transactions in India are digital.
It's estimated that within five years, it will be two out of three transactions in India being digital.
And that will lead to a $10 trillion economy moving on digital.
So in terms of transactions, so that is a very, very significant scale that you have.
And when you have velocity of money increasing in any economy, that drives growth.
That's from a pure macroeconomic point of view.
So I truly believe that digital payments is at a core of how the Indian growth engine will continue.
You refer to ONDC, there are many other aspects as to how commerce will get integrated into this process.
And how both goods and services will come into play as we go forward.
So I truly believe it's a massive accelerator for the Indian economy.
He spoke about the velocity on the user side, on the consumer side.
How this is not just about big enterprises, but your street side vendor who is using a QR code today
and you can buy everything from tender coconut water to your vada pav.
But on the enterprise side, again, are you seeing Indian companies, smaller Indian tech companies
using, leveraging this digital public infrastructure to build on top of it?
Or are we again going to still concentrate it between the big tech firms?
Because if you look at payments today, Walmart owns Ponte, Google dominates,
and then the third players possibly met up a distant third.
So are global companies again building this better than Indian companies?
Why are Indian companies not able to leverage their own rates?
So I think it is still fairly early days.
I wouldn't say that the final body counter has to be done.
Like I said, this concept of QR code and ubiquitous QR code and even the street vendors
utilizing that is still fairly early days.
And the very fact of digital public infrastructure is that you open source it,
make it open and not be dependent on any few companies from getting concentrated
and getting the network they call it.
That's the both fundamental principle.
You take O and D C or the UTI.
The fundamental underlying principle is that.
So that's a fantastic win in my opinion.
So the point is, O and D C on the one hand will make sure
that even the modern pop shops will not lose out
or at least will have an opportunity to compete effectively against the big ones.
At the same time, it will also give a lot of opportunity for the smaller logistics companies
who may or may not want to play ball with the bigger winners
to participate in parts of the ecosystem rather than have to think only about somebody
who will control the entire ecosystem and having to play as a secondary player
in the whole ecosystem.
The ability for each company to play in their specialized segment
and be able to offer specialized products or services
that will be completely controlled by them while in the process serving
a whole value chain which is not controlled by any single entity.
I think that's the genius.
Is this also about empowering people on how they use their own data?
The way the account navigator system, for example, has been designed
or the way the Glocker has been designed where you are given loans
based on your own record of three months.
They are trying to reduce revenue with them.
So are digital public goods also geared towards empowering people
to use their own data to get those financial services
that they would have otherwise had a hard time accessing?
No, absolutely. I think that's the difference between
even the way regulation is thinking about privacy and security in India.
Let's say compared with GDPR, which was amongst the first set of regulations
that came through in the world.
I think the real thinking around consent for data
is really at the cutting edge in India in terms of
how everybody should be empowered to think about their data
as to the consent, privacy, the trust, the security around it.
Coming back a little bit to your point earlier,
and I would say the Indian banking system is a huge enabler
in terms of everything that is happening on digital payments.
In the front end, you might see some companies
but at the end of the day those transactions are getting squared by Indian banks.
In the state bank of India and many of the Indian banks
are actually really squaring that transaction.
Now as you even look at the digital currency coming into play
and the Indian government has already announced the plans around it,
I think it's again going to be very significantly powered by Indian banks,
both the public sector and the private sector banks.
So I truly believe as Christian said, this is early days,
many parts of the ecosystem are coming together.
The good news as he said is no single company actually has an end-to-end ownership of the pipe.
There are multiple companies coming together,
which is a great way to think about the future.
It's very much disarticated but very seamless when it works together.
Right, since you mentioned the EUP,
if you can share your thoughts on how that's going to be a game changer
because the jury is still out.
People are wondering why do we need this when you already have UPI,
but I think the RBI has initiated a wholesale as well as a detailed file.
Your thoughts on how this could be a game changer?
I won't be able to crystal gaze on that one
because the entire world is looking for an answer for digital currency.
I think about this as innovation.
In innovation, if you had 100% clarity on what will succeed
and what will not succeed, then it will be very simple
and a lot of people would be able to do it.
But I think the opportunity to try many different things
in different parts of the ecosystem and let them play out
is something that India has done very well.
Because frankly speaking, you might have even argued why do you need UPI.
There is a very strong payment mechanism that exists,
but it came in and it changed the way India worked.
So I'm looking forward to use cases that will come through
and I truly believe in the entrepreneurship in the country.
They'll find use cases.
TCS is a company that's managed to crack the code
when it comes to the India technology market.
And every day we see these tweets going viral
about user experience, for instance, at the Passport Sevaganga
where it's getting a passport, getting a renewed passport
in more than 24 hours, 48 hours.
You've been able to do this at scale.
What opportunities do you see from the digital public
in the ecosystem?
What role can companies such as Ross deal with?
Anything that excites you particularly?
I'm obviously awesome proud of being at TCS, sir.
And I'd love to speak about TCS a lot.
But today here on the stage, I'm here as a chairman of NASCAR.
So I'll not talk specifically about TCS, but more broadly.
So India's market, I would say,
is also a very powerful force.
In addition to the vision behind the digital public infrastructure
and so on, there's also a very big market
which is why internationally, how we can leverage
infrastructure such as the digital public goods
to be able to reach the last Indian
with our products and services is one key thing
that's on all of our minds.
So from that point of view,
is why India is such a great market,
which is why companies like TCS
we have been able to imagine
how best can we serve the Indian
from a customer experience point of view, right?
The passport server can rather evaluate it too.
In terms of experience for the customer,
who's a common man and woman,
it is an order of magnitude different compared to what it was
before the passport server came on board.
Similarly, if you take the account aggregated
from the framework that we already talked about.
There again, one element is that
what it is that I haven't talked about.
The other is also supreme customer experience
because today, if you go and ask for a loan
as an individual or as an enterprise,
the owners of the little deck that you see
go get an authorized copy of this,
get this certificate, that certificate,
so many things are there,
the owners is on the customer actually.
The customer has to do all of that
to have the honor and privilege
of giving the vendor the privilege of their business.
Which is not how it should be.
The customer should be the king
and everything else should come to them.
Companies that can conceptualize a business model
in which this superior customer experience
feeding a customer as a king
and getting their product and services to them
with the least amount of authorization for the customer
will be a huge thing for India
because especially the common people
and the lower-income society,
they are simply not used to being treated well
even if they're a customer.
If you can deliver the experience
in terms of the market potential
for so many goods and services,
that's why I think India's market is a very powerful force.
Yeah, you mentioned past,
I think Kogan is also brilliant in such a way that
you get your vaccination certificate
in five seconds, which is incredible.
Anand, would you like to add this
on the opportunity for enterprises?
No, absolutely.
I think I am seeing a cross-sectors
and it's not just in the FinTech
or the financial services.
You look at consumer companies,
manufacturing companies.
You look at even the government services
in many parts are changing the interface
in terms of how they interact
with many of these services.
I think for many of us who travel a lot,
the recent innovation, even on Digi,
I think he's a very good example
of how user experience is being thought through.
Yes, there is scope for improvement.

a tcso okay and I'd love to speak about TCS a lot but today here on the stage I'm here as a chairman of mass com so I'll not talk specifically about places but more broadly broadly so the India is a market I would say it's also a very powerful force uh in addition to uh the vision behind the digital public infrastructure and so on it is also a very big Market which is why internationally how we can leverage uh infrastructure such as the digital public goods
to be able to reach the Lost India with our products and services one key thing that's on all of our minds right so from that point of view is why India is such a great Market which is why companies like PCS we have been able to imagine how best can we serve the India from a customer experience point of view right the passport several camera that you earlier did too in terms of experience for the customer who is a common man and woman it is an
order of magnitude different compared to what it was before the passport civil cameras came on board similarly if you take the counter aggregate framework that we earlier talked about talked about there again one element is the advantages advantages also Supreme customer experience right because today because today if you go and ask for a loan as an individual or as an Enterprise the owners of delivering the kyc go get a notarized copy of this get a certificate and certificate so many things are that onus is only
foreign which is not how it should be the customer should be retained and everything else should come to them companies that can companies that can conceptualize the business model in which the superior customer experience creating a customer as a king and getting their products and services to them to the least amount of operation for the customer will be a huge thing for India because especially the common people in the lower aspect of society they are simply not used to being treated well even if they're a
customer right if they can deliver that experience in terms of the market potential for so many goods and services it's just phenomenal which is why I think it's India's Market is a very powerful person yeah you get your vaccination certificate in five seconds which is incredible and then would you like to add this on the opportunity for Enterprises no absolutely I mean I think I I am seeing across sectors and and it's not just in the fintech or the financial services you look at consumer companies
you look at manufacturing companies you look at even the government services in in many parts are changing the interface in terms of how they they interact with with many of these Services I think you know for many of us who travel a lot the recent Innovation even on Digi I think is a very good example of how user experience is being thought through I mean yes there is a scope for improvement a lot can be done better but

==================================================
Thank you very much, and welcome to this session.
We're talking about the India story for the next decade, or should we call it decade, as Nasscom calls it.
You know, in the last few months, every time I listen to any global CEO or global business leader, be it Agita Gopinath or Sundar Pichai, one thing that excites all of them is India's digital public infrastructure, India's tag digital public goods. You know, call it what you will, but.
We're really seeing so much of excitement around this and people believe that, you know, this is something unique that India has built, technology, rails that India has built, uh, uh, in various spheres.
And you know, how this could have a game changing impact.
And we've already seen this in some sense.
I mean, Geo wouldn't have been Geo without an Adar e k y C.
Similar for Ziroda.
And you know, many other businesses have benefited from these rails, but if you can give us your perspective on India's story for the next decade from a technology lens, how is digital public infrastructure going to drive it?
Uh, you know, how do you envision this going forward?
Okay, so let me, let me begin.
And, and you took a lot of, uh, names of the, the global leaders I would ask and, and Chandra from Tata Sons, he wrote about Digital Nation sometime back and that was pre pandemic.
So, so I think there's a lot of awareness and excitement about the opportunity of what digital can do to really accelerate India's progress on the in the grassroots.
I think we've seen how billion scale platforms have come out of India.
UPI Agar Owen are great examples of how in adversity, India really pulled out a lot of acceleration.
And these are now not just proof of concept, they're proof of scale.
These are opportunities and capabilities that many countries would really love to have because they have put India on a different growth trajectory.
For anybody who's traveling globally amongst any of us, you, you feel the lack of UPI when you are transacting in any other part of the world.
It's just become so much part of our day to day work.
And I think more than that, I would also speak about the foundations on which these platforms are built.
So there is very strong awareness about, about data, about the Privacy, Security, Trust principles that a lot of these platforms should have.
So I truly believe that the digital public goods are a huge acceleration point, and we've just got the story started.
You look at all the businesses that are getting built on them, and I really call it make, make, make.
So you make in India, you've already done that with these platforms.
You're making new IP based on these platforms and now you can take this IP globally and, and make for the world which companies like TCS are doing a great job of.
So, so I would really say that there is a very strong momentum that we have in the country with digital public goods.
I'll hand it over to Christian if you'd like to add.
Thank you, Anna.
I think that's a great question.
In addition to all the points that Anna just made, two other important points that I would like.
Typically, countries are endowed with some natural advantages and they'll have some natural problems.
The best thing for any country to do is to leverage things that deliberate a natural advantage and ideally, uh, also mitigate against the natural, uh, disadvantages as a country, uh, that one has got.
And we can cite many examples in the interest of time.
From India point of view, uh, it is not a very well endowed country in terms of natural resources.
But in terms of manpower, they're very abundant.
And so that skilled technology manpower is very abundant in India.
So technology is a natural ally for us and it's also a great natural advantage for India that technology is today the solution for most of the problems, whether you look at it from a country's point of view or a business point of view or even a planet's point of view. So to bet on technology as.
A country.
This is a very natural thing for India to do.
And as the technology industry here, we couldn't be more delighted that this is how things are going.
That is point number one.
Secondly, the natural disadvantage of India is the vast number of people who and it is not very equitable in terms of access to many of these resources, right?
So how do we take advantage of this technology, which is the natural advantage for India and it's going to go a long way further, but also design whenever, whenever we're scaling it, we design it in a way that it also helps the less equitable half also benefit from it rather than let a network effect.
Which typically comes with a winner take all kind of outcome that would be a disaster for any country, if not a disaster, at least it would be a great opportunity laid to waste.
So the best thing about digital infrastructure is that whether you take it in terms of the payment system, the ability to reach the last man and woman in the country or healthcare or any other dimension that you take.
It has the ability to equitably reach every Indian regardless of their status and so on, level of access and so on, that the Indian government has that vision and it's building everything towards equitable and fair access to everybody is the biggest highlight.
Which I think is one of the reasons why it is attracting attention.
Right.
In fact, you know, since you said equitable, I think one DC is an approach to doing that in terms of making more accessible for sellers, small sellers to sell their products online.
But Anand, to your point on make, make, make, that's a very interesting analogy.
And, you know, when I think of the make, make, make framework, UPI fits right into that made in India.
Then you have platforms or apps that have come on top of that, which are hugely successful and they came up just in the last five years.
If you look at a phone pay or a Google Pay.
And Google Pay, in fact, I think Google cited this example to the US.
This is something that they should be doing.
And UPI is now going global.
They tied up with Singapore as well last week.
But in terms of the end impact, you know, Christian spoke about how we should use this to our advantage, you know, to build a more equitable, inclusive society.
Do you think this could set off a virtuous cycle where you have more private enterprises building on top of this digital public infrastructure, better competition, better services, bringing down the cost of transactions for people in the country.
Uh, if you can tell, you know, paint a picture for us on what the end impact is going to be on the ground.
We talk about equitable, we talk about inclusion, but how is it going to play out?
So, uh, I will maybe quote an example that I just heard, uh, and a quote that I just heard from Shri Parnavis, uh, just about half an hour back on the main stage.
And he spoke about the vision for having 100,000 street vendors having capability to receive payments and, and he said that's happened in Maharashtra itself, in Mumbai itself.
And so, so to me, I think the QR code is almost ubiquitous.
Yeah.
So to me that it's, that's the best place to start because then you said enterprises and generally when you say enterprises, people think about big companies.
But if a street vendor on on a pushcart is using that QR code, I think that's where the velocity of money is taking a totally different, different shape today.
Two out of five transactions in India are digital.
It's estimated that within five years, it will be two out of three transactions in India being digital, and that will lead to a 10 trillion dollar economy on, on moving on, on digital.
So in terms of transactions.
So, so that is a very, very significant scale that you have.
And when you have velocity of money increasing in any economy, that drives growth.
That's from a pure macroeconomic point of view.
So I truly believe that digital payments is at a core of how the Indian growth engine will continue.
You refer to ONDC, there are many other aspects as to how commerce will get integrated into this, this process and how both goods and services will come into play as we go forward.
So I truly believe it's a massive accelerator for the Indian economy.
Right.
He spoke about, you know, how the velocity on the user side, right, on the consumer side, how this is not just about big enterprises but your street side vendor who's using a QR code today and you can buy everything from tender coconut water to your baraf ka paan.
But you know, on the enterprise side, again, are you seeing Indian companies, smaller Indian tech companies using, leveraging this digital public infra to build on top of it or are we again going to see it concentrated between the big tech firms?
Because if you look at payments today, Walmart owns phone pay, Google dominates.
And then the third players, possibly meta, a distance, a distant third.
So are global companies again building this better than Indian companies?
Why are Indian companies not able to leverage their own brands?
So I think it is still fairly early days.
I wouldn't say that the final verdict on it is written in it.
So it's like I said, this concept of QR code and ubiquitous QR code and even the street vendors utilizing that, it's still fairly in early days and the very fact of digital public infrastructure is that you open source it and make it open and not be dependent on any few companies from getting concentrated.
And getting the network effect, that's the whole fundamental principle, whether you take when DC or the UPA, the fundamental underlying principle is that, yeah, so that's a fantastic win in my opinion.
So the point is when DC, on the one hand will make sure that even the mom and pop shops will not lose out or at least will have an opportunity to compete effectively against the big ones.
At the same time, it will also give a lot of opportunity for the smaller logistics companies who may or may not want to play ball with the bigger vendors to participate in parts of the ecosystem rather than having to think only about somebody who will control the entire ecosystem.
And having to play as a secondary player in the overall ecosystem, the ability for each company to play in their specialized segment and be able to offer specialized products or services that will be completely controlled by them, while in the process serving a whole value chain, which is not controlled by any single entity. I think.
That's the genius behind this whole idea.
Right.
And is this also about, you know, empowering people on how they use their own data, the way the account aggregator system, for example, has been designed or the way Digilocker has been designed where, you know, you are given loans based on your own record of payments. They are trying to reduce red tape. So.
Our digital public goods also geared towards empowering people to use their own data to get those financial services that they would have otherwise had a hard time accessing.
No, absolutely.
I think that's the difference between even the way regulation is thinking about privacy and security in India, let's say, compared with GDPR, which was amongst the first set of regulations that came through in the world.
I think the real thinking around consent for data is really at the at the cutting edge in India in terms of how everybody should be empowered to think about their data as to the consent, privacy, the trust, the security around it.
Coming back a little bit to, to your point earlier.
And I would say the Indian banking system is a huge enabler in terms of everything that is happening on digital payments.
In the front end, you might see some, some companies, but at the end of the day, those transactions are getting squared by Indian banks in the State Bank of India and many of the Indian banks are actually really squaring that that transaction.
Now as you even look at the digital currency coming into play and the Indian government has already announced the plans around it.
I think it's, it's again going to be very significantly powered by Indian banks, both the public sector and the private sector banks.
So I truly believe, as Christian said, this is early days.
Many parts of the ecosystem are coming together.
The good news, as he said, is no single company actually has an end to end ownership of the pipe.
There are multiple companies coming together, which is a great way to think about the future.
It's, it's a very much disaggregated but very seamless when it works together.
Right.
Since you mentioned the e, rupay, you know, if you can share your thoughts on how that's going to be a game changer because the jury is still out.
People are wondering why do we need this when you already have UPI.
But I think the RBI has initiated a wholesale as well as a retail pilot.
Your thoughts on how this could be a gift?
I won't be able to crystal gaze on that one because the entire world is looking for an answer for digital currency, I think.
I think about this as innovation, you know, in innovation, if you had hundred percent clarity on what will succeed and what will not succeed, then you would, then it would be very simple and a lot of people would be able to do it.
But I think the, the opportunity to try many different things in different parts of the ecosystem and let them play out is something that India has done very well because frankly speaking, you might have even argued.
Why do you need UPI?
There is a very strong payment mechanism that exists, but it came in and it changed the way in India work.
So I'm looking forward to use cases that will come through and I truly believe in the entrepreneurship in the country, they'll find use cases.
TCS is a company that's managed to crack the code when it comes to the India technology market.
And every day we see these tweets going viral about user experience, for instance, at the Passport.
Seva Kendra, getting a passport, getting a renewed passport, 24 hours, 48 hours, you've been able to do this at scale.
What opportunities do you see from, you know, the digital public infra ecosystem?
What role can companies such as yours play?
Anything that excites you?
I'm obviously awesome.
Proud of being a TCS, sir.
Okay.
Uh, and I'd love to speak about TCS, uh, a lot, but today here on the stage, I'm here as a chairman of Mascom so I'll not talk specifically about TCS, but more broadly.
Uh, so the India as a market, I would say it's also very powerful force, uh, in addition to, uh, the vision behind the digital public infrastructure and so on.
It is also a very big market, which is why internationally how we can leverage infrastructure such as the digital public goods to be able to reach the lost Indian with our products and services.
One key thing that's on all of our minds, right?
So from that point of view is why India is such a great market, which is why companies like TCS, we have been able to imagine, uh, how best can we serve the Indian from a customer experience point of view, right?
The Passport, Seva, Kendra, that you alluded to in terms of experience for the customer who is a common man and woman, it is an order of magnitude different compared to what it was before the Passport.
Seva Kendras came on board.
Similarly, if you take the account aggregated framework we earlier talked about, there again, one, uh, element is the advantages that aren't talked about.
The other is also supreme customer experience, right?
Because today, if you go and ask for a loan as an individual or as an enterprise, the owner of delivering the KYC, go get a notarized copy of this.
Get a this certificate, that certificate.
So many things are there.
The owner is on the customer.
Actually, customer has to do all of that to have the honor and privilege of giving the vendor the privilege of their business, which is not how it should be.
The customer should be the king and everything else should come to them.
Companies that can conceptualize a business model in which this superior customer experience, treating the customer as a king and getting their products and services to them to the least amount of moderation for the customer will be a huge thing for India because especially the common people in the lower strata of society.
They are simply not used to being treated well, even if they are a customer.
If you can deliver that experience in terms of the market potential for so many goods and services, it's just phenomenal.
That's why I think it's a India as a market is a very powerful force.
Yeah, you mentioned Pascoe because I think Covid is also a brilliant example of that.
You get your vaccination certificate in 5 seconds which is incredible.
And then would you like to add this on the opportunity for enterprises?
No, absolutely.
And I think I, I am seeing across sectors and, and it's not just in the fintech or the financial services.
You look at consumer companies, you look at manufacturing companies, you look at even the government services in in many parts are changing the interface in terms of how they, they interact with, with many of these services.
I think for many of us who travel a lot, the recent innovation even on digital, I think it's a very good example of how user experience is being thought through.
Yes, there is scope for improvement. A lot can be.
