Join Us For The Next Swarajya Conversations - Nandan Nilekani At IIM-Bangalore
- Join us for the next edition of Swarajya Conversations - Nandan Nilekani will speak on “Indian Economy In The Age Of Technological Disruption”
Nandan Nilekani
After Britain’s exit from EU, the heated debates on immigration in America and the continuing economic slow down, the West is slowly turning its back on globalisation.
Immigration, outsourcing and global economic integration will begin to suffer. These developments will lead to major consequences for developing countries. Like all other countries, India too will be forced to make adjustments. From an export oriented growth strategy, India might now need to focus on its domestic markets. Increasing automation, Chinese over-capacity and other disruptive factors will continue to challenge world economies.
How will India react to all this? Will the necessary enabling technologies and frameworks be available for entrepreneurs to reshape businesses? As new structures emerge new service providers, new age platforms and supporting products will also have to be in place.
Nandan Nilekani, one of the architects behind India’s successful AADHAAR program, will speak on these themes and more at the next edition of the Swarajya Conversations. R Jagannathan, Editorial Director at Swarajya, will host the event.
Nilekani was in charge of implementing the AADHAAR Unique Identity card (UID Card) project in India as the UIDAI chairman. He had earlier served as as CEO and co-Chairman at Infosys.
In 2006, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India’s third highest civilian award. He has also penned two books: Imagining India: The Idea of a Renewed Nation and Rebooting India: Realizing a Billion Aspirations.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
