FAQ
Is building on India Stack a real PM career?
Yes — and growing. Companies building on DPI (account aggregators, ONDC network participants, health stack builders) employ PMs with specialist domain knowledge. Career paths lead to policy advisory, public-private organisations, and international DPI work. Compensation is often 20–30% below pure-private sector but the mission compensates.
