Frost & Sullivan as Strategic Partner to assist IndiaHub bridge the last-mile gap with its new digital platform
Mumbai, India, March 27, 2017: While the idea of “Digital India” and “e-Governance” has gathered momentum, citizens and businesses in the country still continue to face tremendous challenges in accessing government information and services in a timely and effective manner. Zeroing in on the lack of efficient last-mile Government-to-Citizen (G2C)/Government-to-Business (G2B) services delivery, IndiaHub Egovernance Pvt. Ltd. (www.IndiaHub.com), in partnership with Frost & Sullivan, the global growth partnership and consulting firm, is expanding the reach of its integrated digital service delivery platform that addresses the information and transactional needs of citizens and businesses in India.
Currently, there are more than a thousand G2C/G2B service delivery platforms in India. However, these lack suitable infrastructure; relevant, easy-to-use content; and efficient services, performance and interaction.
“Our vision at IndiaHub is to bridge this gap and ‘Simplify India’ by making all government data, information and services easily accessible to the common citizen on our digital platform,” stated Mipaandeep Singh, CEO and Managing Director, IndiaHub Egovernance Pvt Ltd (www.IndiaHub.com). “At the same time, we want to ensure that such services are delivered efficiently, transparently and reliably at affordable costs.”
Aroop Zutshi, Global President and Managing Partner, Frost & Sullivan, said, “Globally, shared economy principles and the proliferation of digital platforms are promoting greater transparency and people’s empowerment. In this environment, government programs and projects can be made more effective by organizations that enable citizens’ access to such initiatives. This will benefit both citizens and the government by bringing together these stakeholders and fostering higher levels of partnership in the future. We are pleased to welcome IndiaHub as a Companies to Action Growth Partnership (C2A GP) program partner, and look forward to working with the IndiaHub team in driving clarity and efficiencies in government-citizen-government interactions through digitization.”

“Frost & Sullivan focuses on start-ups through its high-impact, practical and results-driven global programs – EDP and C2A GP,” noted Digbijoy Chakraborty, Director, Frost & Sullivan. “These value-based, synergistic growth partnership models facilitate strategic, training, operational and institutional support to start-ups in their entrepreneurial journey.”
