As AI becomes a cornerstone of global influence, India must chart its own path, not to isolate, but to secure strategic autonomy. This session explores why developing a Sovereign AI Ecosystem is critical for addressing India’s unique socio-economic and linguistic diversity, while ensuring our voice shapes the global AI discourse.

We'll discuss the urgent need for domestic investment in compute and storage infrastructure, enabling foundational model development to remain within national borders, delivering resilience, control, and security at scale.

Equally vital is nurturing an AI innovation ecosystem where Indian developers, startups, and researchers build solutions rooted in local relevance with global potential.

Finally, we’ll spotlight the importance of hands-on GenAI education to cultivate a deep talent pipeline and fuel long-term innovation. Join us to understand how India can lead responsibly in the AI era—with strength, inclusivity, and sovereignty at its core.
