Fighting Corruption in India With the Zero Rupee

When Vijay Anand moved to the US from India to start his own software company, he realised how much more he could achieve when he didn’t have to deal with corrupt officials.“It got me thinking about how citizens in India could fight the corruption that affects them every day.” In 2006 he founded the NGO 5th Pillar; the following year he returned to his home state of Tamil Nadu armed with a brilliant idea which he would use to launch 5th Pillar and to fight corruption: the Zero Rupee note.
