India's Digital Public Infrastructure also got a ringing endorsement from the Microsoft senior executive, who praised the nation's "leadership" in digital technology. No other country in the world has seen as much progress since 2020 as India when it comes to digital technology, he pointed out. India's digital public infrastructure is not just advancing but has drawn increased interest from other nations who want to replicate it, he said on the triad of identity, payments and data management framework being showcased by the country. "When I look at the situation here in India today in comparison to say 12 months ago when I was here, what we're seeing is this digital public infrastructure not only continuing to advance here, but increasingly other countries wanting to embrace it. So this G20 meeting is, I think, a very important opportunity for India. It is a showcase for the world of everything that is going forward here, including India's leadership in digital technology," he said.
