The Internet needs to be able to adapt to challenges when they happen. In this session, our panelists will examine the current strengths and limitations of India’s Internet—across infrastructure, governance, and operations—and identify the highest-impact actions to strengthen overall resilience, reliability, and trust. We will also bring in Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) considerations to ensure that platforms like UPI, DigiLocker, ONDC, and Aadhaar remain dependable under stress.
