Title:

Aadhaar is generating data that Indians will be able to sell or barter for benefits: Nandan Nilekani

Excerpt:

In a rather contrived way, Nandan Nilekani, the current chairman of Infosys and architect of Aadhaar programme, on Thursday asserted that systems like Aadhaar and UPI can make Indians richer. He said that Indians are getting data rich and they will be able to sell or share this data for actual money or services. Nilekani said that all data, the digital trail that is available because of Aadhar and UPI, is good because Indians will be able to sell or barter their information to get economical benefits.
