The Indian government has successfully scaled its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), including Aadhaar (1.44bn IDs), UPI (554.9m users), and DigiLocker (716.6m users). These open, interoperable systems provide a foundational platform for private sector digital service delivery across India.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Generalist. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The foundational layers of fintech and identity are now free public goods in India. Stop building rails for authentication or payments; use the government-provided APIs and build your value-added service on top.
