Giving an overview of the book, Pitroda said, “This book titled “Redesign the World” Prapanchaniki Kotharupam iddam, Kadalirandi” is a very insightful description of global issues with absolutely clear identification of problems faced in the world and root causes for the same. Sam also suggested through this book a clear manifesto as a pragmatic and feasible solution to the global issues well identified.
Sam Pitroda lays emphasis on three unique dimensions of information technology, democratisation, decentralisation and demonetisation which have allowed us to change the world order. Democratisation through the Internet enables and empowers all to have access to knowledge, education, entertainment and shopping. Decentralised access to banking, health care and transport is enabled by hyper connectivity in this new world. Mobile wallets, payments and banking offer digital platforms will profoundly impact the future of our society and civilisation.”
