India's digital public infra story worth showcasing: Cisco India President

India's transformative digital public infrastructure is a "story worth showcasing" and the interest it has generated among developing and developed nations presents a huge opportunity for the Indian tech industry, according to Cisco India and SAARC President Daisy Chittilapilly.

Chittilapilly noted that India's digital public infrastructure offered a unique population-scale, low cost, accessible model, and is generating "tremendous amount of interest" from other nations.

She cited the success of digital identity Aadhaar and India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the real-time payment system where transaction volumes are "mind blowing".

"One of the topics at the G20 Presidency is showcasing digital public infrastructure that India has built over the last many years... Aadhaar is the largest national identity project in the world... look at the UPI numbers, they are mind blowing. There is nothing like UPI anywhere in the world," she told PTI in a recent interview.
