The JAM Trinity is the foundation of Digital India and is the Government of India’s initiative to link Jan Dhan Account, Mobile Numbers and Aadhaar card for financial inclusion. Aadhaar provides a digital identity that is unique, lifelong, online and authenticable. Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) is a payment app that lets one make simple, easy and quick transactions using Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) aims to develop the backbone necessary to support the integrated digital healthcare ecosystems. The Government eMarketplace is the National Public Procurement Platform for ensuring transparency, inclusion and cost-savings in public procurement besides encouraging domestic manufacturing and investment. GeM provides an ever increasing market access to MSMEs, Woman SHGs and Start-ups.

The fundamental requirements of scalability, speed, inclusion, interoperability, frugality and technical robustness are the key success factors for all these digital products and platforms
