We invite you to a special event with Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of Infosys, one of the world’s largest IT services companies. Nilekani is also Chairperson of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), an ambitious government program designed to issue biometric identity cards to all citizens of India, with goals such as reducing corruption in government transfers and increasing financial inclusion for the poor. The event will give us the opportunity to hear Nilekani’s view on the potential of the UID project as well as the vigorous debate it has engendered. Nilekani will also reflect on business, the economy, and philanthropy in India. Matt Bannick, Lecturer, Stanford GSB and Managing Partner of Omidyar Network, the philanthropic investment firm founded by eBay’s Pierre Omidyar, will lead the discussion.
