Keynote | Gateway to India and The World | India Stack: Balancing competition and regulation
About This Talk

We will hear about India’s spectacular story of financial inclusion and how those lessons translate into health inclusion. India has proven that it can have a tech ecosystem whose core values are as solid as its valuations. But emerging from these stories is a whole new model of building tech-driven companies where the goals of the user, the builder, and the regulator converge. Can this new model be the framework for a more harmonious world?
