nripendra-mishra-leaning-heavily-on-nilekani If some well-placed sources are to be believed Principal Secretary to PM Nripendra Mishra has been leaning heavily on Nandan Nilekani to help him with digital payments issues in particular and the larger issues of digitalizing India. Sources say another reason for their increased interaction could be the corporate governing issues plaguing Infosys. Then there are the issues related to H1B visas to the US - the issue getting complicated by President Donald Trump's stand on creating more jobs for Americans. In any case, the PMO monitors the issues of corporate governance in a routine matter as was evident in the recent case of board level changes in Tata Sons. However, this has generated a lot of political speculations whether the BJP is trying to woo Nilekani to join the party. Even though he has publically ruled out joining any political party again, his foray into the election last time does not let the rumors die away.
