ABOUT THE FEST

The world is growing through the largest digital transformation, as an offset of
COVID-19. There has been a major overhaul in the functionality of top industry
verticals, specifically the BFSI domain which has been witnessing a rapid
transition over the last few years.

The FinTech market has continued to help expand access to financial services
during the pandemic, especially, the emerging market has seen strong growth in
all types of digital financial services.

Access to affordable financial services is critical for poverty eradication and
economic growth. For poor people, especially women, access to and use of basic
financial services can raise incomes, increase resilience, and improve their
lives.

FinTech innovations are helping reduce the cost of providing services, making it
possible to reach more people, and reducing the need for face-to-face
interactions, essential for keeping up economic activity during the pandemic.

Opposition MP From 2006- 2012

2G- In 2007 was the first to raise 2G Scam issue in Parliament. At great
personal risk, he was the only person to push back against the heavy lobbying
and pressure of Telcos including big names on the issue of Spectrum Auction. He
was single-handedly responsible to ensure the 3G auction despite a concerted
campaign in Media and in Parliament. The resulting 3G auction served to expose
the value of free 2G spectrum being given away and the Country today generates
lakhs of Crores from these auctions which otherwise would have accrued in value
to these Telcos. Fighting the 2G scam was done as Independent MP at great
personal risk and cost.

PIL for Section 66A- He was first to raise it in Parliament and oppose UPA’s
misuse of draconian Sec 66A of IT Act. Raised it repeatedly in Parliament and
got media awareness on this. Was active petitioner in the PIL in the Supreme
Court that struck down Sec 66A. Was nominated for Index Freedom of Expression
award for year.

Petitioner for Right to Privacy- Leadership on the issue of Privacy started way
back in 2010 with his Pvt Member’s Bill- Right to Privacy Bill, 2010 and he
consistently fought for the Right to Privacy despite much opposition to it in
the Media and was a petitioner and supporter of the PIL that created the
landmark Right to Privacy judgement.

Free and Open Internet, Net neutrality

On two critical issues, opposed the UPA governments move to restrict and change
the nature of the Internet. On-Net neutrality, opposed the UPA governments
efforts to allow Telcos to control and regulate access to the Internet and
ensuring that the TRAI and Government reversed the Telco inspired move – in
Parliament and through a mass public campaign outside Parliament.

Also single-handedly created awareness about and stopped the Manmohan Singh
Government’s efforts to back China’s attempt to move Global Internet regulation
to a United Nation Bureaucratic organization UN-CIRP. It took Narendra Modi
Government to finally reverse this position and continue to allow the Internet
to be a free and open global network without Government control.

Aadhaar

From 2009 was the sole voice in and outside Parliament to oppose the UPAs
Aadhaar architecture and design – including lack of legislative backing, lack of
Privacy protection, lack of integration with National Population Register and
its very dangerously lax verification process. All of which were finally
addressed only after PM Narendra Modi became PM.

Public sector Bank NPAs- In 2010 he was the first to raise NPA issue and Crony
lending by PSBs lending to favourite UPA Corporates till 2014. Written and
spoken extensively about reforms in the banking sector in particular, financial

OROP- Since 2006, Single-handedly pushed the OROP issue in and outside
Parliament, including piloting a Parliament Petitions Committee Report that
found in favour of OROP.

Voting Rights for the Indian Armed Forces - After repeated efforts with EC and
then Government failed, approached the Supreme Court via a PIL and ensured he
got voting rights for armed forces and families. He also pushed EC to ensure
remote units could vote. Voter turnout of armed forces has increased in state
elections in Uttarakhand and UP.

National War Memorial- From 2007 as MP kept urging Government to set up National
War Memorial and this dream became a reality when Narendra Modi became PM. As
the then Congress Government was blocking this, initiated a National Military
Memorial in Bengaluru.

Kargil Vijay Diwas – In 2009 raised the issue of Kargil Vijay Diwas and ensured
that the Government agreed to start celebrating that formally.

Supporting Bravehearts and their families- Repaired and reconstructed CQMH Abdul
Hamid’s memorial when the then Government failed to intervene and protect PVC
Braveheart’s memorial. Through Flags of Honor Foundation, has helped countless
scores of Veteran and Braveheart families all over the country.

Honoured by Army’s Western Command GOC-in Commendation for his work for the
Armed Forces and Veterans.

Karnataka Floods: In 2009 Conceived and executed with the Government of
Karnataka, an unprecedented public-private initiative ‘Aasare’ – to help rebuild
the thousands of destroyed homes and villages in the Floods. He succeeded in
roping more than 50 corporates who committed to build 80,000 houses for the
flood-affected families. He personally adopted three villages and build several
hundred homes.

Plan Bengaluru- in 2009-2010 who worked for a vision for Bangalore and a

lobby to scuttle or weaken the bill. Also responsible for the draft rules to be
created along with citizens interaction with ministry

GST- Served on a select committee of GST and also in financial and regular media
advocacy for these reforms and positioned it as a reformer for the long term
which will increase tax compliance.

2021. Have spoken about 5 Trillion Dollar Economy roadmap and initiatives
required in Parliament, in committees and in various Articles. Participated in
almost every Budget discussion and has consistently advocated Investment and
Economic growth as the main answer to transforming the lives of Indians poor and

can be used to fulfill PM’s vision. Even had meetings with Aadhar to explain the
safeguards required.

Rights- he was first to raise in Parliament and mobilize public opinion. He has
