What is India Stack Knowledge Exchange?
A major initiative that could be shared globally is India’s success in implementing Digital Transformation projects at the population scale, given its G20 presidency in December 2022, and its hosting of the G20 Summit in 2023. Additionally, India has been requested to contribute to the Global Digital Public Goods repository on a consistent basis. It is time for the world to adopt the lessons learned from India Stack. On July 07 – 09, 2022, the DIW 2022 will include a three-day orientation program entitled “India Stack Knowledge Exchange: Showcasing India Stack and India’s Digital Products & Services”.
Participants in this virtual event will be able to share their experiences of implementing pioneering digital transformation projects that have permeated across the urban and rural landscapes of the country. Ultimately, this platform would help establish an India Stack Knowledge Exchange that would serve as a collaborative platform and mechanism to replicate some of the digital initiatives.
