🚀 India's Opportunity to Lead in Open Innovation 🚀 I recently came across an inspiring perspective from Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-founder and CEO of Ola Group, on how India can lead the way in open innovation and developing open protocols. 🌟 Unlike the American approach, which focuses on individual tech companies developing their own protocols, India is championing open standards that benefit society as a whole. 🌎 Aggarwal highlighted the visionary work of individuals like @Nandan Nilekani in establishing India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), which includes Aadhaar for digital identification, UPI for payments, and Finternet. 📈 But that's not all - Aggarwal also emphasized the need for open protocols in areas like social media, where AI can provide a unique opportunity for India to take the lead. 🤖 Let's come together to make India a hub for open innovation and collaboration! 💡 What are your thoughts on this?

Sarika Atri is one of our incredible volunteers working on the Sthaan protocol. Here's what she has to say about her experience: "I was drawn to the Sthaan project at People+ai because of a personal connection with the problem it aims to solve. My parents live in a place without a structured address, which makes ordering anything for them a challenge. This experience made me realize how many people in India face similar issues, unable to access new-age services due to the lack of a reachable address. Sthaan's mission to create a protocol layer for sharing addresses and directions in a simple, accessible way deeply resonated with me. One of the most exciting aspects of my journey with Sthaan has been seeing the project take shape and receiving positive feedback from partners in e-commerce, logistics, and mobility ecosystems. It's incredibly fulfilling to see that stakeholders not only understand the problem we're addressing but are also genuinely interested in partnering in the solution. What I enjoy most about contributing to Sthaan is being part of a project with the potential to make a real difference in people's lives, empowering millions who currently lack access to essential services. I see the biggest opportunity for Sthaan and People+ai as the ability to create a world where everyone in India, regardless of where they live, can access online services and much more. By providing a simple and effective way to share addresses, we can bridge the gap for those currently excluded from the digital economy. This has the potential to transform lives and open up new possibilities for millions of people across the country." Learn more about Sthaan: https://lnkd.in/dpkKm8RX

The quick commerce space in India continues to see a steady stream of funding news in recent months, and while comparing Southeast Asia with India reveals challenges, it also highlights a lot of opportunities for growth in SEA, as companies here can tap into similar growth by adapting their approach to fit the local market. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 In India, quick commerce has become a top-of-mind option for grocery shopping and daily needs, supported by efficient operations and product diversification, including high-margin items like beauty products and electronics. Southeast Asia has the same potential. By optimizing operations, targeting the right demographics, and diversifying products, the demand for quick commerce can be met without compromising bottom line. 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 Having invested in BeepBeep!, I'm confident of the promising future of quick commerce in SEA. From a macro perspective, the online grocery market is set to grow. As cities expand, infrastructure gets better, logistical issues are ironed out, and more people get hooked on the convenience of digital services, demand will go up. Grocery delivery is a permanent trend. Market behavior will keep shifting towards on-demand deliveries as they become more accessible, and as consumers expect more products to be available "instantly." At the same time, people want convenience and deals, and nimble businesses with innovative models (like quick commerce companies) are in a great position to meet these needs. #QuickCommerce #SoutheastAsia #RetailTransformation #BeepBeep #GenesiaVentures #OnDemand #Grocery #VentureCapital

Can India Stack challenge MAANG companies as the biggest tech enabler of the next decade? It’s not just about the scale of data access that India Stack brings with platforms like Aadhaar & UPI, but also its global tech adoption. With a focus on open, inclusive digital ecosystems, India Stack provides a blueprint for developing economies to leapfrog into the digital era, something proprietary tech from MAANG lacks. As emerging markets embrace this open digital infrastructure, the question isn't if India Stack will lead global tech innovation—but when. Could this be the blueprint for the future of tech? #IndiaStack #GlobalTech #NextBigThing #TechDisruption #MakeInIndia #GlobalDisruption
