Addressing Innovation: From Pin to DIGIPIN - All Things Policy
Manage episode 493402382 series 1529655
Last month, India Post rolled out a 10-digit alphanumeric Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN), which represents geographic coordinates, developed by creating a uniform 4x4 metre grid of the country. This is a significant development in geolocation as well as the India Stack. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anwesha Sen and Swathi Kalyani discuss what this development means for goods and service delivery in India and possible concerns and challenges vis-à-vis privacy and implementation.
