At iSPIRT, I have been a part of the India Stack effort, working with the Govt and with entities such as the NPCI and GSTN to help define the APIs that constitute the India Stack. I have been part of the design efforts for UPI, GSTN, and the Digital Locker. I was also a member of the Technology subcommittee of the RBI committee on household finance. I was also a part of the Cashless team, which helped put together the paperless, presenceless, cashless lending pilot – a report of which was published. We have made submissions to the Ministry of Finance, and various committee to help build the stage for reducing the use of cash. I have also been an evangelist for the entire effort, working to educate influencers, regulators, policy makers, entrepreneurs and developers on the benefits of the stack, as well as how it could be used to solve India’s hard problems. I have presented the India Stack work at various forums, including TedX, Hyderabad, National and International conferences.
