Nilekani was addressing Uppsala University in Sweden virtually. "Portability is important in two ways. One, people are mobile. Mobility of the bank account and mobility of the digital ID from anywhere is important," he said in response to a question on replicating Indian services in other countries. "Similarly, portability gives a choice. One can go to any bank and use their Aadhaar number. So, portability, mobility and choice are very important to design public goods and make them people friendly," Nilekani said.
He said Co-Develop, a non-profit funded by the Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and the Media Foundation was working in this direction philanthropically to take these digital public goods to other countries.
He also mentioned the MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Project), an Aadhaar like platform developed by Bengaluru's International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) that was being used in Morocco, Africa, Philippines and Asia.
