A consultation meeting to invite suggestions and inputs from industry bodies and partner organisations for Entity Locker was held at Electronics Niketan on March 6, 2025. The meeting was chaired by Shri Nand Kumarum, President & CEO, Nation E-Governance Mission (NeGD); MD & CEO Digital India Corporation, and CEO, MyGov.

Participants included senior officials from various chambers and national boards such as FICCI, CII, Indian Banks Association, The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India, India SME Forum, PHDCCI, Federation of Indian Export Organisations, SEBI, NASSCOM, Data Security Council of India, and government enterprises viz. Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), Rail India Technical and Economic Service, and Engineering Projects India Ltd. etc.

The meeting aimed to apprise the members about Entity Locker’s process flow and encourage them to promote its usage among associated entities. Feedback and suggestions to incorporate additional features and functions were also collected and the team at National e-Governance Division (NeGD) welcomed a stream of dialogues for continous improvements and better onboarding experience for all kinds of entities, including private players in the buinsess/financial ecosystem.

Shri Nand Kumarum emphasised on the need for organisations to develop relevant use cases pertaining to the document interactions and exchange mechanism followed in their respective companies/organisations. He highlighted that Entity Locker provides secure data storage for important documents of business entities and the like, thus leading to ‘Ease of Doing Buisness’, and this along with the free 10 GB storage being provided by the Government is a big incentive for all organisations to onboard themselves and their allied partners on this platform.

Several questions were raised regarding document visibility and sharing access, API integration, extendable storage facility, option to group users, and the verification protocol to be followed for Aadhaar & other licenses.

All the current challenges, specific onboarding issues being faced, and concerns or problems and need regarding particular integration requirements were duly noted by the team and responded to. These will be formally allayed and worked upon once the participating members send back their replies addressing the same.
