Mandatory installation of #SancharSaathiApp Saathi created mistrust, even though the problem it solves is real. An API-first, #opensource approach could have delivered security with consent. https://t.co/LHgoKXk7qQ

India’s next leap is sectoral #DPIs — in health, finance, mobility, environment — each with a built-in regulatory layer that makes governance adaptive, auditable, and trusted. That’s the middle path beyond #deregulation. https://t.co/ZQ0NZ0zPoA

This isn’t “deregulation.” It’s digitally enabled regulation — one that senses, signals, and steers in real time. Fairness becomes visible. Compliance becomes natural. Regulators can act with confidence, not caution.

Foundational DPIs — identity, payments, and data exchange — already built trust at scale. Now imagine a regulatory layer on top — where rules are code, thresholds are transparent, and systems learn from every transaction.

#Regulation isn’t about more or less control. It’s about visible, adaptive guardrails — rules that protect without paralyzing. Think of it like traffic: speed limits should change with road conditions, not stay fixed forever.

It’s not easy being a regulator today. You’re told to deregulate so markets can move faster — but when things go wrong, everyone asks, “Where were the regulators?” The truth: the world changes faster than the rules written to govern it.

Failures in communities, markets, and governance share a common root: failed coordination. #DigitalPublicInfrastructure can fix this — if designed to align incentives, reduce information asymmetry, and rebuild trust. https://t.co/aCGgUqmGbE

https://t.co/MCs32fMh8I In many LMICs, scarcity leads to rigid control in public finance—not just due to lack of funds, but lack of trust. With DPI (ID, payments, data exchange), we can replace rigidity with fairness and choice. Scarcity + trust = better outcomes. #DPI

No, AI won’t fix your potholes. But governance will. Ask the right questions, and the magic begins. https://t.co/DpJIbbPPdW

What future is AI really building—and who gets to decide? I explore four possible AI futures and the beliefs that shape them, from utopias of abundance to dystopias of control. This isn’t a prediction—it’s a call to govern AI wisely. https://t.co/kSu6EwFK1B

Recently completed four meaningful years with @eGovFoundation In this journey of working to improve public service delivery across sectors at speed and scale, one insight has consistently stood out—a guiding principle by @swarup58.
An idea can fructify, sustain and scale only if it is politically acceptable, socially desirable, technology feasible, financially viable, administratively doable and judicially tenable.
