Digital identity is quickly becoming the backbone of how governments deliver services in the modern world, and CSM Technologies is positioning itself right at the center of that shift. The Bhubaneswar-based GovTech company has announced its adoption of MOSIP, a leading open-source digital identity framework, marking a significant expansion of its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) capabilities.
What’s Actually Happening
CSM Technologies has entered into an engagement to adopt the Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP) for designing and implementing foundational digital identity solutions. MOSIP is an open-source, vendor-neutral framework that allows governments to build customized identity systems aligned to their own policy, governance, and technology requirements.
This move adds foundational digital identity to CSM’s existing GovTech portfolio and strengthens its ability to compete for opportunities in international markets, particularly in Africa and Latin America, where governments are actively investing in secure and interoperable digital infrastructure.
According to Priyadarshi Pany, Managing Director & CEO of CSM Technologies, digital identity is becoming a foundational layer of modern DPI, and this engagement complements the company’s experience building mission-critical government platforms across emerging economies.

Why This Matters
Foundational digital identity plays a critical role in connecting citizens to essential services like healthcare, education, social protection, taxation, and financial inclusion. The scale of the challenge is significant — according to the World Bank’s 2026 Global Digital Public Infrastructure Program, billions of people, mostly across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, still lack digital IDs usable for online transactions, a gap closely tied to the broader concept of Digital Public Infrastructure that governments worldwide are racing to build, as explained on Wikipedia.
By pairing MOSIP’s modular architecture with its existing strengths in e-Governance, social protection, healthcare, and public finance, CSM Technologies is positioning itself as an integrated DPI partner rather than a single-solution vendor. This kind of strategic capability expansion is exactly the type of corporate development we track in our technology and business coverage on Technosports.
