PM4K NEWS 045: YAHOO SHOWS INTEREST IN INDIA’S UNIQUE ID PROJECT

Continuing with the PM4K NEWS Series on the  Unique ID Project here’s another update.

On her first visit to India after becoming the CEO of Internet company Yahoo, Carol Bartz said she showed interest in India's Unique Identity (UID) project, reported MSN India. Headed by former Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani, the project will assign every Indian citizen with a unique identification number that will identify him or her.

Bartz met India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Nilekani in New Delhi and is reported to have discussed the matter with him. "It was primarily a courtesy meeting where we also did inquire if Yahoo could be of any help in the area of cloud technologies. We are in the business of managing data. We process around 500 billion e-mails every month, so we wondered if we could assist in the area of managing the databases as India tries to implement the Unique Identity (UID) project," Bartz told the media in Delhi.
