Believe the Hype by Thomas Friedman illustrates the grass-roots innovation opportunities that exist in India.
A few posts ago I mentioned that I attended the session on governance at the PAN-IIT 2010. My reason for doing so was that Nandan Nilekani was to speak about ADHAAR, the UID project that he is heading.
What the project is going to do is to allot a UID to every citizen after recording iris patterns and fingerprints. These will be maintained in a database. I suppose other data too would be maintained.
The database could be queried for delivering services to the citizen. I am sure it is going to open up new business opportunities.
