Synopsis "India's Techade: Digital Revolution and Change in the World's Largest Democracy (in English)"

About the BookThis is a small book about big disruptions.Over two decades, and across two different political regimes, the world's largest democracy combined the rise of cheap mobile phones, cheap data and a unique digital ID system to create an unprecedented revolution in digital public goods. This included the rise of path-breaking fintech systems like Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the creation of a new kind of welfare state based on digital direct benefit transfers and interlinked e-governance systems that brought almost half a billion people who never had bank accounts into the financial system.India's Techade pieces together the story of how this digital revolution came to be. It is a crisp, yet comprehensive account of the systems, the innovators, the processes and the political will that drove the digital enterprise across India.A must-read for anyone who wishes to understand the transformative nature of technology and its deep impact on Indian society, politics and culture.About the AuthorNalin Mehta is Dean, School of Modern Media, UPES; President, EDGE Metaversity and Non-Resident Senior Fellow, Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore.
