India's Digital Public Platforms (DPP) have become a powerful catalyst for inclusive growth and innovation. Foundational platforms for digital identity (Aadhaar) and real-time payments (Unified Payments Interface - UPI) have successfully demonstrated how to build resilient, cost-efficient public service delivery systems at scale.

To share these learnings and explore opportunities for collaboration, a “High-Level Dialogue on Forging Economic Resilience through Digital Public Platforms” was organised by the Reserve Bank of India on the side-lines of the Annual Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C. on October 14, 2025. Central banks from 38 countries, including 22 Governors and other senior decision makers participated in the event.

Addressing the participants, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, Shri Sanjay Malhotra, gave a brief overview of India’s DPP ecosystem and their role in digitalisation and financial inclusion, especially in Government transfer payments.

He emphasised that, in the true spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, India is fully committed to international collaboration around such platforms to accelerate digital transformation.
