India is emerging as a global leader in Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), driven by its scalable and citizen-centric digital governance platforms. According to an official fact-sheet released on Saturday, the country has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with 24 countries for cooperation on India Stack and DPI systems as of February 2026.
