really interesting, do you remember what interview/who the employee was or anything?

I assume the thought process was something like this: Indian government looks at cryptocurrency and think "Ok so this is like UPI (digital money) - but I can't trace it and that's bad" - so boom - make an official cryptocurrency which they can trace back to and restrict all others. I don't know how good of a solution this is, but, defeats the point of crypto nonetheless.
