First: Aadhaar (digital id for 1.3B people of India) & its mutually reinforcing relationship (eKYC) with opening phone accounts and linking to bank accounts (janadhan program with many public funding projects) led to - J(anadhan)A(adhaar)M(obile) effect. @pramodkvarma 2/n
This resulted in 80% bank accounts from 17% in 8 years, which otherwise would have taken 47 years.
The graph at 25:20 (see below). Breath taking. Inclusion.@pramodkvarma 3/n

Second is the Digital transaction (UPI) moment. UPI today does 5-6B txns/month. Bringing India to the #1 digital transactions country (by far). Breath taking pic 2. At 27.30 - see the second breath taking moment.@pramodkvarma 4/n
Then the next one is "Consent Manager" (DEPA) @Product_nation @pramodkvarma. I call this "Data to Dollar Machine". First I have seen. Providing a mechanism for converting "Data Rich" Indians into dollar/rupee rich Indians. The whole world should copy this framework. 5/n
BTW this is done NOT by putting everything into one place. That is easy. DEPA provides a way to protect individual's data & empower them. Loans from "flow based lending". Asset = transaction flow. Small vendors ("Rajani") can get 50$ LOAN for 1week in <5 mins 6/n @Product_nation
Next is BECKN moment @BecknProtocol @pramodkvarma @ravimaiden I can buy a ticket to Midtown, get a car ride, get a tele medicine - all in one experience. Not so many "apps" or a single (monopolistic) "super-app". 7/n
LAST but not LEAST by far. If a pic can tell 1000 words, here it is another breath taking moment. at 37:57 @BecknProtocol @pramodkvarma @SujithNairK @ravimaiden How BEckn offers interoperability across platforms - and contrasting with Web3 and blockchain.8/n
Finally - is Beckn in production? Of course yes. Here is the Kochi Mobility. @BecknProtocol @pramodkvarma multi-sector single mobility OPEN network. Not a "monolithic" platform. Thank you. 9/n
