India Stack refers to the Indian government’s ambitious project to create a unified software platform aimed at bringing the country’s population into the digital age. It is a collective name for a set of open AIs and digital goods that will allow governments, businesses and other organisations to leverage identity, data and payments infrastructure at scale.

“What we have today is #IndiaStack 1.0. It will become more nuanced, intelligent and sophisticated, and will keep evolving with time. Using datasets and AI will be part of the innovation journey of India Stack,” added Chandrasekhar. While the platform has India in its name, the government is hoping that more countries will join the bandwagon and build their digital infrastructure on the stack.
