Nidhi Bhasin, CEO of the NASSCOM Foundation, joins us to talk about tech for good in India and initiatives to drive digital literacy. The NASSCOM Foundation is part of the NASSCOM ecosystem — the biggest industry body representing the tech industry in India.
Much of their focus is on going deep into rural areas and reaching that ‘last mile’. Inclusion is at the core of their strategic thinking.
Digital literacy is a broad area and is of relevance to a range of segments including the elderly, girls and women, and those of limited resources. Many elderly individuals in rural India don’t know how to use a smart phone or make online payments. And, many women from marginalised communities are poorly informed about their rights and have a limited understanding of government information and schemes designed to help them.
This episode provides insight into how technology and philanthropy come together in India to improve digital literacy and social outcomes.
