India took 3 big productivity leaps: Nilekani

Lets do a statement by statement break down the PR lies that never get questioned. (Oh livemint didn't note that he is their minority shareholder)

Nilekani said that Aadhaar-based identification gave a boost to the government’s financial inclusion plan

"The roll-out of Aadhaar, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and account aggregators"

AA is not yet rolled out, because we don't have a privacy law in place.

"He had also played a crucial role in proposing the “invoice matching" model to plug tax evasion under the goods and services tax"

Lol the invisible invoice matching that never happens, let along plugging evasion. cc @iam_anandv

"the direct benefit transfer programme enabled subsidy to go directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiary, increasing efficiency and reducing pilferage and fraud."

Remember Airtel Payments bank fraud? The #Aadhaar Mapper fraud is *still* happening for residents

"We still don’t have WhatsApp (Pay) come online. Once everyone comes online, it is going to be huge. Creating a payments architecture that is low-cost and safe allows you to innovate on edge"

Regulatory Price controls has what led to "low-cost" & lets not forget data is currency

A person pays lot more value in terms of data to make "low-cost" payment.

Also, Whatsapp Pay will never come online.
