00:00In India, even coconut sellers accept digital payments.
00:05In Germany, cash is still king.
00:10Germany is slow in all things digital.
00:16When it comes to digital public services, Germany often ranks near the bottom in Europe.
00:22So the question is, how can Germany catch up?
00:26India has proven that digital transformation can be done quickly and on a huge scale.
00:42India's digital rise started in 2009 with the introduction of a unique personal identity
00:47number.
00:48Today, almost all of India's 1.4 billion inhabitants have one.
00:53Next came a nationwide digital payment system.
00:57That formed the basis of India's warp speed digital transformation.
01:02New services are constantly added by both public and private players.
01:07I think the ecosystem built by focusing on digitalization has definitely helped the economy, along with
01:16helping people and businesses.
01:17So what do you think?
01:20Can Germany copy India's digital playbook?
01:23Or will Germans love paper forever?
