News Summary:

Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani, also the architect of Aadhaar, on September 11, 2026, asserted that India needs to prioritize building robust population-scale tokenisation infrastructure. He emphasized that this infrastructure should handle billions of transactions to ensure interoperability and liquidity across diverse asset classes for the future of the Finternet, rather than focusing merely on issuing tokens. Earlier on September 11, Infosys participated as a sponsor at the GE Vernova AI Edge Symposium 2026, a three-day event held in Niskayuna, New York, which convened over 300 industry leaders, government agencies, and technology partners to explore trends in AI, robotics, controls, edge computing, and cybersecurity. Also on September 11, Nilekani stated at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) that India’s primary defense against job disruption from artificial intelligence might involve enabling millions of small businesses to grow, rather than creating more large firms. This follows news from September 10, when the Centre’s newly constituted High-Powered Task Force (HPTF) on examination reforms, headed by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, was set to review the National Testing Agency’s (NTA) statutory framework and recommend the use of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and other emerging technologies to enhance examination security and prevent leaks.
