Over the last decade, India has become the fifth-biggest economy in the world, taking an innovative approach to digitalization with the unique combination of large-scale diffusion of bank accounts for the unbanked, a nationwide biometric database for 1.3 billion citizens, and the widespread adoption of mobile technology — now second largest in the world with over 600 million subscribers.

Despite being hit hard by the pandemic, India’s digital success is now enabling the economy to rebound sharply while also ushering in new business models across a range of sectors, such as financial payments and healthcare. 

The Emerging Market Webinar Series, organised by Cornell's Emerging Markets Institute, invites a distinguished panel of experts to discuss how digital transformation is a key enabler for sustainable and inclusive growth in India.
