  • 16 Things That Matter - IT in the Year 2016
    16 Things that matter - IT in the Year 2016 It is often asked “Does IT matter?” Yes, very much for India. A lot has happened in the year 2016 in IT. Here is quick take on what are perhaps the most important sixteen developments in IT, particularly from an India perspective. Happy reading! 1 Shift to digital: The year started with major initiatives under “Digital India” in the country. It culminated in the November 8 announcement by none other than the Prime Minister Modi about the “demonetization” program. Suddenly banks started promoting USSD for feature phones, Apps for smartphones, credit & debit cards, ATM usage, POS usage etc. A whole new players in the form of e-wallets and Payment Banks started operation. UPI (Unified Payment Interface) from NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India) launched in April 2016 that makes wallets redundant and permits payment from the users’ bank account to another user’s’ bank account - that too without knowing all account details, but just with the “virtual address” of the receiver - is perhaps the defining moment for the country. It will unfold fully in the year 2017. The entrepreneurial energy of PayTM that caught the attention of Indians in every nook & corner of the country is yet another defining moment; PayTM is just not an App, not even a noun, but truly a verb brilliantly articulated by “PayTM karo!” 2 AADHAR enrolments crossing one billion mark in March 2016 is another defining moment. Jio (Reliance telecom service) started service in October 2016 enrolling millions of new subscribers would not have been possible without eKYC enabled by AADHAR linking; a potential customer walks into any Jio counter, keys in his/her AADHAR number on Jio low- cost terminal, authenticates thru biometric (finger print) and walks away with a SIM card - practically in less than 30 seconds! No paper work at all! AADHAR will create many more such “magic” opportunities in the upcoming years.
