“The five richest individuals in the world today are data entrepreneurs. The five largest firms in the world-Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft-are actors in the data economy with a combined market value of nearly $5.6 trillion in 2020. Data is increasingly a critical factor of production, complementing labour and physical capital. On one hand, the data economy is radically transforming many economic activities and creating new levels of prosperity. On the other, it presents the possibility of a perilous dystopia, where participants in the data economy can face chronic trust deficits and insecurity. People do not know whether they are paying more or less than others. They do not know if they are targeted by market researchers or advertisers. Consumer protection is generally weak in the data economy. “ In this episode of The Other 50%, Astha Kapoor, talks about her decade long journey as a policy consultant. She has worked for the Government of India, for organizations like Dalberg, Microsave and even as an independent public strategist. Furthermore, she has extensive on-ground experience, including, (but not limited to!) the support to the relief efforts in the aftermath of the Tsunami at Tamil Nadu and the ravaging earthquake at Haiti. All of that coalesced to the realization that the impact of technology on ground wasn't being considered, which is how Aapti Research Institute came into being. Aapti provides actionable insights to the policymakers on 3 verticals- Future of Workers, Data Economy and Governance and Citizens.  Engage with us!- https://rb.gy/mup9ns

#3 Aapti Research Institute Co-founder: Astha Kapoor, Unconventional choices & On-ground experience

With Covid-19 unleashing an economic crisis at an unprecedented scale, the role of new age Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile (JAM) infrastructure with India's legacy Public Distribution System (PDS) in providing much needed relief to the poorest of the poor, be it in cash or in kind, cannot be understated. In that backdrop it was a real pleasure to pick the brain of Astha Kapoor, Co-founder of the Aapti Institute, to hear her views on the government's INR1.7Lcr relief package.    As a public policy consultant, Astha closely looked at the interface of technology within delivery of government welfare services. She brings unique insights to the discussion by insisting that in the age of digital, whilst it is natural to overestimate the ability of JAM, one also mustn't underestimate the reach of PDS.

S5 Ep78: Does JAM Trinity and PDS Ensure the Coronavirus Relief Package Reaches Last Mile with Astha Kapoor from Aapti Institute   

Starting this week we hope to discuss important themes and issues that might inform how voters choose and how parties reach out to voters in the upcoming elections. Before each phase of election, we will pick one state going to the polls and break down the political issues and trends in that state. Each episode will feature an expert who has studied the state for decades to offer in depth insight on the state we're discussing. In this introductory episode, we break down the major issues that have come up in surveys and conversations with voters and why. What are the economic issues on voters' minds and why? Will national security concerns have a bearing? These are some of the questions we hope to address here. Alongside, the issue of a Universal Basic Income has also entered the conversation in the run up to the elections. We are joined by Astha Kapoor to make sense of the UBI and promises of political parties in this respect. You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/iosSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
