“…The second phase, which began in late 1990s and corresponded with the boom of India's IT sector, was committed to an improvement in all aspects of governance through IT (Madon, ). This was in line with the global “E‐governance for development” discourse, encouraged by international institutions such as the UNDP, DFID, and World Bank (Chaudhuri, ). The National E‐Governance Action Plan was prepared by government with support from the World Bank and suggested that e‐governance services should be outsourced to the private sector (Madon, ).…”

In many of the ex-colonies of European empires, biometric technology systems are being built under an ethos of welfare and financial service delivery. One case in this broader trend of postcolonial governance is India's Aadhaar and IndiaStack. This paper uses this case to explore how the in-sourcing of technology into means of governing, behind a front of participatory "good governance," is contributing to the historical trajectory of citizenship regimes in India. Through claims of reducing financial "leakages," Aadhaar, a biometric identification database consisting of fingerprint, iris scan, and photograph, has become compulsory for accessing welfare in India. The Indian government makes a case for Aadhaar using a propaganda discourse of its success, based on weak evidence. The India Stack, a set of cloud-based application programming interfaces (APIs) built on top of the Aadhaar database, offers a digital infrastructure for private companies to verify identities using Aadhaar data and to offer other "services" including "financial services." The ability to access data, paired with a "revolving door" of individuals between state and corporations, points to an ulterior goal of both Aadhaar and the India Stack: creating winners in the corporate and financial technology sectors. The Indian corporate-state run through a "goventrepreneurism" uses Aadhaar and the India Stack as new digital technologies of governmentality to transform populations into subjects or customers.

Non-traditional payment methods: Gen Z is more likely to use mobile payments and other digital payment methods, such as Google pay, Paytm or PayPal, instead of cash or credit cards. Zero tolerance for bad user experiences: Gen Z expects a seamless, user-friendly online shopping experience, and will quickly abandon a website or app if it doesn't meet their expectations.This research intends to study online buying behavior of the most important and the youngest generation.
