#GitHubConstellationIndia2022
A
A
Miss
roy
is
an
indian
economic
services
officer
and
has
held
multiple
roles
in
the
government
currently
with
niti
ayog.
She
leads
the
vertical
dealing
with
data
management
and
frontier
technologies.
I
have
closely
followed
her
work
in
building
the
national
strategy
on
artificial
intelligence,
blockchain
and
many
other
tech
led
initiatives
in
the
government.
In
fact,
last
friday
I
witnessed
the
launch
of
national
data
analytics
platform
which
will
facilitate
access
to
huge
repositories
of
published
government
data,
and
she
has
been
leading
that
initiative
as
well.
A
Welcome
miss
roy
nitio
has
been
that
is
india's
premier
think
tank
helping
create
a
shared
vision
for
our
country.
In
that
aspect,
how
important
is
technology
strategy
and
how
does
niti
io
think
about
it?
For
india.
B
Thank
you
heroes.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
organizations
who
have
given
me
this
opportunity
to
address
a
community
which
I
feel
is
really
driving
the
change
today
and
niki
is
all
about
transformation.
So
very
happy
to
be
here.
You
spoke
about
the
strategy
on
technology
niti,
as
the
name
suggests
you
know,
is
not
an
organization
which
is
too
much
into
the
current
implementation.
B
For
that
we
have
relevant
administrative
ministries,
but
he
is
the
premier
think
tank,
which
is
supposed
to
kind
of
give
a
vision,
a
long
term,
medium
term
and
proposed
wrote
ahead
on
how
you
know
various
aspects
to
be
dealt
with.
What
needs
to
be
done
to
achieve
that
vision,
so,
in
that
case,
strategy
becomes
very
important,
and
that
is
at
the
core
of
function.
B
If
we
just
focus
on
technology
per
se,
I
will
come
to
the
other
main
areas.
You
know
a
specific
technology.
How
do
we
kind
of
promote
development
of
technology?
How
do
we
promote
adoption
of
technology?
What
are
the
technology
spheres
that
we
should
look
at
then?
I
take
you
back
to
2018
when
we
came
out
with
the
national
strategy
on
artificial
intelligence,
several
ways.
B
You
know
that
really
let
the
path
of
of
starting
a
dialogue
on
the
adoption,
promotion
and
building
the
ecosystem
for
development
of
technology
in
the
country
in
a
very,
very
cohesive
manner.
B
I
I
wouldn't
say
it's
not
as
if
nothing
was
happening
in
before
that,
but
from
2018
onwards
it
has
been
happening
in
a
more
cohesive
and
collaborative
fashion
where
we
have
identified
various
you
know,
players
and
who
are
working
together
to
develop
a
strategy
where
niti
plays
a
very
critical
role
as
a
since
it
provides
a
platform
for
all
stakeholders,
including
the
government,
research
academy
or
industry,
to
all
come
together
and
in
a
very
collaborative
and
consultative
manner,
come
out
with
a
strategy.
B
So
starting
from
the
ai
strategy,
you
will
see
niti
lead
the
way
in
other
areas,
whether
it
is
clean
energy,
whether
it
is
you
know,
the
clean
mobility,
when
you
talk
about
evs,
so
niti
has
been
driving
the
entire
strategy
space
where
adoption
and
proportion
of
technology
in
the
country
is.
You
know,
involved.
A
That's
sort
of
true
man,
in
fact,
I
have
met
so
many
people
who
have
been
benefited
out
of
the
great
work
coming
out
of
nitio,
especially
the
green
energy.
What
we
talked
today
and
even
the
national
strategy
on
ai,
I
was
with
my
previous
organization,
and
we
have
seen
tremendous
work
happening
on
the
ground
because
of
that
policy.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
A
I
think
I
have
been
personally
I've
been
a
big
fan
of
your
work,
around
inclusion
and,
and
especially
tech
inclusion,
and
you
know
that's
even
the
objectives
of
the
government
today
that
we
see
digital
and
tech
inclusion
is,
is
big
on
agenda.
So
how
do
you
ensure
an
inclusive
tech
policy
framework
and
its
rollout.
B
So
I
will
again
take
you
back
to
2018,
and
the
cornerstone
of
the
strategy
was
really
inclusion.
How
do
we
ensure
that
we
don't
have
islands
of
you
know,
excellence
in
in
a
huge
area
of
you
know
where
not
much
is
happening
so
inclusivity
and
democratizing
was
democratizing.
B
Access
to
infrastructure
was
one
of
the
key
things
which
we
focused
on
and
since
2018
we
have
been
addressing
it
in
different
fashion.
We
also
were
required
to
do
it,
because
that
was
also
the
mandate
given
by
the
government
and
in
all
of
whether
it
is
our
honorable
prime
minister
or
any
of
the
other.
You
know,
representatives
of
the
government.
B
It
is
again
and
again
stress
that
you
know
you
know
inclusive
inclusivity,
no
matter
what
we
are
doing
needs
to
be
stressed,
so
I
will
just
give
a
few
examples
in
that
you
know
area.
First
of
all,
we
started
from
2014
to
really
leverage
the
india
stack
and
we
came
to
you
know
the
india
stack
experience
and
india
stack,
upi
and
various
other
initiatives
that
followed
that
you
know
that
particular
initiative
has
really
revolutionized
the
financial
sector
in
in
a
big
way.
B
B
So
that
is
the
second
phase
which
I
will
say
really
mark
the
progression
towards
inclusivity,
the
depa
framework,
and
we-
and
you
know
the
framework-
was
really
very
proactively
adopted
by
our
regulators,
also
with
rpi,
coming
out
with
the
guidelines
for
a
regulatory
sandbox
where
aaa
could
be
really
evolved,
as
well
as
giving
the
licenses
to
several
companies
to
be
the
consent
managers.
So
I
think
that
I
will
mark
as
the
second
most
important
aspect.
The
third
is
really
developing
the
digital
goods.
B
So
one
of
the
important
platforms
which
we
played
a
very
big
role
in
conceptualizing,
giving
a
vision
and
then
incubating-
and
then
you
know
handing
it
over
to
our
implementing
authority-
is
really
the
unit
platform.
Now,
what
does
ulip
do?
Ulip
is
also
translating
what
happened
in
india
staff
in
the
financial
sector.
So
we
have
a
three
layered
approach.
Where
we
have
integration
data
implication
at
the
bottom,
then
in
the
middle
we
will
have
a
data,
governance
and
data
exchange
protocols
and
on
the
top,
is
the
consumer
interface.
B
So
what
does
it
really
do?
It
provides
access
to
data
to
everybody,
so
you
don't
have
to
be
a
deep
pocket.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
big
company
to
have
access
to
data
and
develop.
You
know
various
tools
to
address
the
various
issues
in
the
logistics
space.
You
can
be
a
startup,
you
can
be
a
small
time,
you
know
company
and
you
can
address
the
last
mind.
B
Problems
of
the
logistics
sector
by
giving
ranging
unit
so
ulip
has
come
a
long
way
and
in
this
year's
budget,
tolerable
finance,
minister,
you
know
recognizing
how
ulip
is
revolutionizing,
the
you
know:
the
logistics
space
and
the
kind
of
aligned.
With
the
initiative
of
the
government,
she
announced
that
a
similar
platform
should
be
built
for
passenger
travel.
B
The
next
thing
I
will
so
this
is
the
public
digital.
You
know
platform,
not
two.
Other
initiatives
which
we
have
driven
from
neeti
is
one
is
the
national
data
analytic
portal,
which
you
yourself
mentioned
in
the
beginning,
which
was
launched
on
the
13th,
and
that
is
addressing
the
last
mile
access
to
data.
Now
all
the
data
you
know,
as
it
is
said,
in
various
promotional
videos,
we
we,
india,
is
very
data
rich
today,
thanks
to
the
digital,
you
know
push
given
by
the
government
and
very
very
successful
digital
india
movement.
B
B
A
researcher
can
go,
a
student
can
go
on
and
tap
and
have
easy
access,
and
this
is
in
line
with
government's
philosophy
of
providing
easy
access
to
data
and
democratizing
access
to
data
and
last,
but
not
the
least,
is
the
women
entrepreneurship
platform
which
we
have
developed
within
neeti
and
it's
an
aggregator
platform
which
really
you
know,
is
providing
a
seamless
access
to
all
initiatives
which
are
there
in
the
ecosystem,
which
benefits
the
women
entrepreneurial
ecosystem
in
a
single
window,
kind
of
a
thing,
and
when
I
say
single
window,
it
is
not
as
if
you
will
be
taken
to
some
other
platform.
B
It
provides
access
to
initiatives
through
a
smart
search
and
all
kinds
of
initiatives,
whether
by
the
government,
private
corporate,
any
other
international
body
at
the
click
of
a
button
with
smart
search
with
various
other.
You
know
features
which
are
there
on
the
platform.
Thank
you.
A
How
do
you
look
at
democratizing
data
and
get
help
of
you
know
all
the
passionate
developers
that
we
have,
because
they
really
want
to
contribute
to
nation
building
and
not
only
developers?
We
have
a
lot
of
tech
providers
also.
So
how
do
you
get
them
to
support
the
program?
Support
your
initiate
the
initiatives
that
you
are
running.
B
So
you
know,
since
github
has
done
such
a
wonderful
job
in
getting
the
developer
community.
You
know
collaborate
and
kind
of
develop
this
open
source
tool,
so
both
wap
and
endeavor
are
really
digital
platforms.
I
I
would
like
to
restrict
my
comments
to
these
two
platforms,
because
I
am
personally
involved
in
it,
so
I
will
use
this.
You
know
your
program
as
a
call
for
action
to
all
the
developer
community
to
come
and
join
hands
with
us
to
help
us
develop
it
now,
whether
it
is
ndap
in
ndap.
B
Also,
we
are
trying
to
see
how
new
tools
can
be
uploaded.
We
don't
want
to
reinvent
the
wheel,
but
of
course
it
is
being
developed
by
you
know,
one
by
one
company,
which
is
under
contract
so
going.
B
We
have
to
kind
of
be
in
quote
unquote
within
the
frames
of
that
contract,
which
I
have
signed
with
the
tech
developer,
but
that
has
not
stopped
us
from
reaching
out
to
other
companies,
and
today
we
are
in
talks
with
several
companies
who
want
to
integrate
their
tools
with
ndap
so
that
the
ndap
engine
really
gets
energized.
We
provide
more
features
by
this
integration
and
though
the
public
launch
only
happened,
you
know
this
week
on
friday.
B
This
is
these
are
very
early
days,
but
I
think
your
program
is
very,
very
timely
for
us
and
I
would
we
would
also
use
our
social
media
to
reach
out
to
this
community,
but
I
would
request
you
also
to
reach
out
to
the
community
to
the
to
come,
and
you
know
discuss
with
us
how
they
can
collaborate
within
that
the
second
platform,
which
is
more
open
source,
I
would
say
compared
to
india,
because
n-type
is
big
data
and
we
have
to
be
a
bit.
B
B
Whatever
happened
in
the
past,
let
me
tell
you
the
first
wep
platform
was
developed
by
the
nikki
interns
and
over
time
you
know,
various
partners
have
joined
hands
to
develop
various
modules,
say
flipkart
developed
the
community
page
and
we
took
towards
other
people
to
come
and
develop
individual
modules.
Now
we
are
trying
to
you,
know
kind
of
take
stock
of
what
we
have
and
whether
we
are
on
the
right
path
and
see
how
our
next
journey
next
phase
of
this
journey
should
evolve.
So
we
are
in
that
design.
B
Thinking,
phase
and
wep
presents
another.
You
know
very,
very
important
platform
for
developers
to
come
forward,
use
the
platform
not
only
use,
but
also
work
with
us
to
develop
specific
modules.
Add
on
to
it
and
work
with
us
in
different.
You
know
aspects
so
that,
of
course,
we
are
open
to
have
a
dialogue
with
the
developer
community
and
see
how
we
can
evolve
this
platform
to
become
really
a
world
leader
in
an
aggregator
kind
of
a
sense.
A
A
I
want
to
stay
on
on
the
developer
topic
and
I
think
you
know
we
have
seen
that
india's
leadership
in
tech
is
is
kudos
to
the
developer.
The
individual
developers
the
mind
that
we
have
in
india
and
who's
doing
some
who
are
doing
some
awesome
work.
The
other
area
where
india
really
leads
is
open
source
software
development.
B
B
Auto
innovation
mission
is
one
such
initiative
of
etio,
which
really
promotes
this
kind
of
initiative
where
the
developer
community,
you
know
through
by
participating
in
their
challenges,
can
kind
of
contribute
to
nation
building
us
and,
as
a
prime
minister
also
keeps
on
saying,
you
know,
do
not
adopt
tech
for
just
the
sake
of
tech
use
tech
as
the
vehicle
for
problem
solving,
and
for
that
to
achieve
that,
you
know,
organizations
like
ethiopia
is
there,
what
kind
of
help
can
can
be
provided?
B
Because
government
sees
itself
in
the
role
of
being
an
enabler?
A
catalyst
and
government
like
it
has
been
moving
away
from
the
business
development
phase
in
various
sectors
and
even
in
tech
space
government
wants,
to
kind
of
you
know,
be
the
enabler,
be
the
facilitator
and
allow
this
huge
demographic
dividend
and
the
huge
potential
which
we
have
in
this
country
to
take
this
mission
forward.
So
this
is
again
an
again
a
space
where
a
lot
of
collaboration
is
required.
B
Where
you
know
you
must
realize
we
are
not
really
the
custodian
of
all
kind
of
you
know.
We
we
don't
have
all
the
wisdom
and
we
look
towards
the
developer
community.
We
look
towards
academia,
we
look
towards
industry
to
come
up
with
suggestions.
We
will
have
an
open
mind
and
how
to
take
this
forward
is
something
that
I
assure
you
that
we
will
be
there
to
work
with
you,
but
it
it
can't
be
said
that
okay
government
should
bring
out
abc.
B
It
has
to
be
from
both
sides.
So
in
case
you
do
not,
you
know,
find
us
as
a
good
collaborator.
At
that
stage
you
can
say
look
I
did
abc
and
I
did
not
get
a
response.
So
government
is
providing
platforms,
whether
it
is
the
utter
innovation
mission,
whether
it
is
the
end
app
where
we
have
you
know,
have
been
kind
of
doing
challenges
and
going
forward.
We
plan
to
do
several
such
hackathons
and
other
challenges.
B
Whether
it
is
you
live
where
nictc
has
already
done
a
challenge,
and
we
have,
you
know,
have
several
winners,
so
I
I
would
say
that
the
community
also
needs
to
be
responsible
to
come
up
and
proactively
work
with
the
government.
A
A
You
would
love
to
hear
more
about
that.
The
work
that
that's
happening
and
what?
What
can
we
do
to
support
that.
B
Absolutely
so
you
know
it
was
an
idea
and
how
I
see
my
work
is
to
come
up
with
solutions
for
dealing
with
specific
problems.
B
So
when
we
came
up
with
the
vision
of
enda
it,
the
problem
was:
how
do
we
ensure
that
we
don't
need
a
huge
amount
of
work
to
draw
insights
from
certain
data?
Sets?
It's
not
as
if
you
know
we
are
creating
this
data.
We
are
not
creating
this
data.
All
that
we
are
doing
is
you
know
identifying
the
use
cases
of
the
data,
so
our
starting
point
on
ndap
is
first
identifying
the
use
cases.
B
Otherwise
you
know
all
this
data
being
there
is
just
lying
there,
so
we
have
started
that
from
the
other
way
wrong.
We
first
identify
the
use
case.
Then
we
identify
the
data
set.
Then
we,
you
know,
look
for
the
data
and
put
it
in
a
schema
and
so
going
forward
for
that
use
case,
and
you
know
we
keep.
We
keep
on
updating
data,
so
that
use
case
gets
solved
on
the
fly.
So
you
can
come
on
the
platform
and
use
the
features
of
the
platform
to
solve
that
one
particular
use
case.
B
That's
a
journey
today
we
have
around,
I
think,
165
or
65
and
kind
of
I'm
not
very
sure,
but
these
many
use
cases
and
it
is
just
the
beginning.
B
Similarly,
the
second
problem
that
we
encountered
was
how
to
overcome
the
information
asymmetry
that
exists
in
the
entrepreneurial
ecosystem
for
women
in
2017
in
the
global
entrepreneurship
summit.
B
At
the
close
of
the
summit,
mr
khan
said
that,
in
his
interaction
with
all
the
women
entrepreneurs,
he
realized
that
there
is
a
lot
of
lack
of
information
and
he
announced
setting
up
of
a
women
entrepreneurship
self,
and
he
made
me
in
charge
of
that
now
when
I
it
was
all
very
new
for
me
and
when
I
started
working
on
the
subject,
I
realized
there
are
so
many
sales,
so
many
initiatives,
so
many
programs
that
we
do
not
really
need
another
cell
for
dealing
with
this
issue.
B
So
we
came
up
with
the
idea
of
a
platform
which
will
be
the
aggregator
platform
which
will
showcase
all
these
initiatives
at
one
place.
Now
that
does
not
mean
we
make
it
a
data
dump,
because
you
know
all
this
information
is
out
there.
You
just
have
to
google,
you
just
have
to
youtube,
so
we
wanted
to
be
better
than
that
now.
If
a
facebook
can,
you
know,
do
a
lot
of
analysis
and
give
you
a
kind
of
insights
based
on
various
searches
etc,
that
users
are
doing.
Why
can't
we
do
it?
B
So
here
is
this
platform,
where
our
vision
is
that
we
will
a
you
know,
collate
all
the
information
out
there
about
schemes,
initiatives
by
all
agencies,
and
we
have
already
completed
the
work
for
central
government
schemes
for
state
governments,
teams
and
several
fisa.
Second
comes:
you
know
the
role
of
technology
where
we
will
use
aiml
kind
of
a
thing
to
for
a
you
know:
smart
matchmaking,
third,
a
smart
engine
which
allows
people
to
access
that
in
information
seamlessly.
B
Fourth
have
as
little
interface.
You
know
human
interface
as
possible
so
that
through
technology
we
are
able
to,
you
know,
reach
out
to
a
large
audience.
B
Next,
have
a
index
language
content
as
well
as
various
other.
You
know
availability
of
this
wap
on
various
devices
to
reach
out
to
the
community,
pan
india
and
not
be
constrained
that
only
you
have
to
you
know
only
through
web-based
you
can
do
it
so
whether
a
chat
board,
whether
app
so
all
that
needs
all.
This
is
our
vision,
because
you
know
it
is
a
process,
and
next
have
you
know
things
like
mentoring,
compliance
funding
for
all
this.
B
Do
a
baseline
study
do
a
gap,
analysis
and
then
look
for
a
modules
which
are
outcome
oriented,
so
you
define
the
outcome
and
then
you
develop
the
you
know
various
interventions
and,
in
addition
to
all
that,
work
with
partners
on
the
ground,
we
don't
want
to
duplicate
anything.
We
just
want
to
amplify
evangelize
all
the
wonderful
work
which
is
being
done,
but
in
silos
in
small
pockets
to
collaborate
and
scale
up
in
the
process
and
have
an
offline
module
also
because
of
last
two
years
you
know
because
of
the
pandemic.
B
Our
offline
work
got
a
bit
derailed.
We
hope
to
get
back
in
the
offline
space
as
well
and
look
towards
everybody
to
you
know
join
hands.
So
here
the
role
of
developers
come,
they
need
to
go
on
the
platform
and
they
need
to
come
to
us
and
say
look.
This
is
what
is
missing.
This
is
what
you
need
to
do.
So
I
have
explained
the
vision.
Now
the
thing
is:
do
wep
2.0
till
now
it
was
more.
B
Rather
now
we
have
got
a
lot
of
interest
because
the
critical
mass
is
there
on
the
platform
going
forward.
I
I
hope
he
will
have
a
lot
of
you
know.
Action
happening
on
the
black
food.
A
This
is
extremely
inspiring
and
especially,
I
think
when
we
see
technology
playing
a
role
and
creating
that
impact
on
on
large
initiatives
which
are
meant
for
community
for
society
upliftment.
I
think
that's,
that's,
truly
awesome
and
very,
very
inspiring.
Thank
you
so
much
ma'am
for
spending
your
time
with
us
today.
I
think
there
is
a
lot
for
for
me.
I
have
taken
I'm
taking
back
from
this
discussion
and
there's
a
lot
for
everybody
else,
who's
listening
to
you
to
come
and
contribute
back
to
our
nation
building.
Thank
you.
So
much.
