Nandan Nilekani

Nandan Nilekani is co-founder and chairman of Infosys, the Indian technology-services company. He has also been associated with large-scale public digital infrastructure in India, including work on the Aadhaar identity programme.

His career connects enterprise technology with questions of public systems: how digital tools are designed at scale, who can access them and what safeguards are needed when they become part of daily life. That intersection makes his work relevant to debates about inclusion, privacy and the responsibilities of technology institutions.
