8 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Bridgital Nation

IDEA 1
India faces a twin challenge
Chandrasekaran and Purushothaman describe India's need to create jobs for millions of young people while also improving services like health and education. They argue both problems can be addressed together.
IDEA 2
Technology can bridge gaps
The authors coin the term Bridgital to describe using digital tools to connect people with services and opportunities. Instead of replacing workers, technology can help them do more. People remain at the centre.
IDEA 3
Augment workers instead of replacing them
They argue that artificial intelligence and automation can help less-trained workers perform skilled tasks. This approach could create jobs while extending services to more people. Skills can be shared widely.
