In today’s episode, we have Suresh Sethi, Managing Director & CEO of Protean eGov Technologies Limited. With decades of experience in digital infrastructure and governance, he has played a key role in building systems like DigiLocker, Aadhaar services, and DigiYatra. In this conversation, he talks about how India is creating inclusive digital solutions that reach millions, and what makes our approach different from countries like the US and China.
We discuss the transformation of India Post, the role of digital identity, and how data privacy is being shaped by the new DPDP Act. Sethi explains how DigiLocker actually works, whether Aadhaar data is safe, and the systems that prevent fraud. The conversation also touches on digital elections, global comparisons, and how countries like Africa mirror India’s journey in adopting technology.
In the last segment, he talks about spotting entrepreneurial opportunities in developing economies, why local connection matters for any organisation, and which sectors still hold massive potential for digital disruption. It’s an inside look at how India is building trust, scale, and innovation for the future.
