Praising India’s digital public infrastructure, Bill Gates, the billionaire philanthropist, said on Wednesday that no country in the world has built a more comprehensive platform than India.
Under the G20 presidency of India, a session on ‘Building resilient and inclusive economies - the Promise of Digital Public Infrastructure’ was held here on Wednesday, where the Microsoft co-founder spoke on India’s digital identity Aadhaar, its payment infrastructure, and 5G.
“No country has built a more comprehensive platform than India. Because of the pioneering investment, including the creation of the basic Aadhaar identity, India was in the lead in getting out (relief) payments. India can be “such an example” for other countries, he said.
Gates, the co-chair and trustee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said Covid-19 across the world had demonstrated the value of digital payment systems for facilitating emergency relief payments.
