The India Stack Global initiative highlights several key components of India's digital public infrastructure (DPI), with the most prominent being Aadhaar and UPI, as well as API Setu and DigiLocker.
Aadhaar: This is India's unique digital identity system. It forms the foundational layer of the India Stack, providing a verifiable identity for over a billion people.
UPI (Unified Payments Interface): A real-time payments system that enables instant bank-to-bank money transfers via a mobile app. It has revolutionized digital payments in India and is a global benchmark for fast and seamless transactions.
API Setu: A platform that facilitates secure and transparent information sharing among different e-governance systems. It acts as a bridge, allowing various government applications to communicate and exchange data efficiently.
DigiLocker: A secure cloud-based platform for citizens to store and access their official documents, such as driver's licenses and academic certificates. It reduces the need for physical documents and simplifies verification.
