I’ve been reading up on the Government of India’s AI Mission over the past few days. It’s genuinely interesting and, honestly, quite heartening. You can see the level of focus, effort, and thought going into it, along with serious intent to invest. Every rupee put into AI today is likely to pay back many times over. Just as India took an early lead in IT decades ago, we now need to build a similar moat in AI.
The AI Mission is especially important given how complex the global geopolitical situation is becoming for India. We need to be self-sufficient, with our own distinct AI capabilities and offerings. Our markets are massive, which is why foreign players are doing everything they can to enter them. There’s no reason Indian, homegrown companies shouldn’t get strong support too, just as other countries actively protect and nurture their own ecosystems.
In October 2025, the Government of India, through the Press Information Bureau, published an article titled “Transforming India with AI” (https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2178092®=3&lang=2). It’s a good read. Earlier in this series, I had written about the seven sutras of India’s AI strategy. Taken together, it’s encouraging to see that India does seem to be moving in the right direction.
