Ep 15: R S Sharma, the bureaucrat who codes

Being part of the government, Sharma fights many battles from inside, and has played an important role in ensuring the Internet is open and free in India. Last year, during the net neutrality developments he was at the centre of the battle for open internet in India. Also, during his stint as the director general of UIDAI (India’s massive biometric identity system) during 2009 till 2013, Sharma not only fought the early perception and technology battles in building the world’s biggest digital identity database, but also applied his coding skills.
