Status of India's Digital Economy (SIDE)

This Flagship Report from the Centre will provide a comprehensive assessment of the status of India’s digital economy using relevant indicators that enable both national and sub-national comparisons of the digital economy. The report uses a Connect, Harness, Innovate, and Protect (CHIP) framework to explain the diffusion of the digital economy across three key agents – individuals, businesses and governments. Connect focuses on aspects of universal, affordable and quality access, Harness illustrates the adoption of digital technologies and digital services, Innovate explains the development and adoption of emerging technologies, and Protect highlights issues related to the safe use of the internet with data on cyber security preparedness, data breaches, cybercrimes, etc. The data analysis will be guided towards offering policy recommendations to strengthen India’s digital ecosystem from all four facets.
