It was a unique bold experiment while India was highlighted as the fastest growing economy. The all-encompassing move touched the entire 1.3 billion population to their core. Wide protests and discussions were followed even by Nobel laureates. International attention amassed on grass root ground realities perceived in India. While the Demonetization effect was on, India implemented an integrated GST regime also. Though the initial propagated target was defacing of fake currency and unearthing of black money, the country moves far towards a cashless digital economy. The digitization moves in a heavily populated underdeveloped, that too with practical democratic environment warrant greater attention.
