Exploring the Role of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in Advancing Scientific Research and Development
At The DPI Academy, on 27th January 2025, we recently brought together over 20 leading science experts at the Administrative Staff College of India in Hyderabad to explore the pivotal role of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in advancing scientific research and development.
Under the guidance of J. Satyanarayana, Chairperson of The DPI Academy, the session showcased real-world case studies and demonstrated how AI tools are transforming scientific project management.
Our mission is clear: to build global capacity, curate cutting-edge knowledge on DPI, and foster thriving communities that will lead the way in digital innovation across science and beyond.
Coming Soon
As part of the Knowledge Pillar of the Academy’s initiative, we are currently developing the State of India’s DPI report, which will delve into the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The working title of the report is Governance of Unified Payments Interface (UPI): An Ecosystem Analysis. This report aims to explore UPI governance by examining the experiences of both end-users and merchants through a quantitative survey, complemented by qualitative insights from key ecosystem participants, including regulators, banks, and payment service providers.
