Synopsis" Aadhaar is the world’s largest identity project that enrolled a billion residents. The Making of
Aadhaar offers insights into the creation of this one-of-a-kind system, at a fraction of the cost
of the alternative, less sophisticated identity systems that had been previously tried in India
and elsewhere. That, by itself, makes for an interesting case study because outcomes of major
projects, especially in government, tend to range from the ‘underwhelming’ to the ‘spectacular
failures’. Aadhaar is the exception that proves the rule.
Alongside Nandan Nilekani, the author led a brilliant team in developing the technology that
undergirds Aadhaar, enrolled the resident population of India, created an online authentication
mechanism for the digital world, and operationalized the ecosystem to take advantage of the
new identity.
This book is a first-hand account from the trenches which provides a lucid and in-depth
understanding of the artefact called Aadhaar and how it continues to change and redefine India."
