From the Indian Digital identity - Aadhaar, a unique 12-digit number that associates each individual with their bank account, to UPI - a public digital payments infrastructure from which the Indian Fintech ecosystem has benefited and offered fintech services, to Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) which enables small businesses and retailers access to digitalization tools to launch marketplaces and platforms businesses processes.
