As the paper from IMF notes, India’s journey in developing a world-class DPI has lessons for other countries embarking on their own digital transformation, in particular a design approach that focuses on shared building blocks and supporting innovation across the ecosystem!

Proud of @Sunbird_EkStep and @BecknProtocol communities for coming together to reimagine possibilities in the skill sector! 👏👏👏
