2025 Year in Review

India's AI Transformation

- 

In 2025, India shaped its AI journey with bold moves and deep ambition. It shifted from testing the waters to using real power. What began as pilot projects mushroomed into large-scale integrations across public systems and business workflows. The IndiaAI Mission emerged as a backbone. BharatGen AI made its debut. Ethical governance found centre stage. This was not just about technology, but about bringing AI to every citizen.

A New Foundation for AI: Compute and Infrastructure

The IndiaAI Mission pushed hard to democratize access to powerful compute resources. By May, India's national compute capacity crossed 34,000 GPUs, according to government data. This created a shared AI platform that allowed startups and researchers to build models without being constrained by hardware scarcity. The mission also selected three new startups, Soket AI, Gnani AI, and Gan AI, to build foundational, India-centric models.

That compute boost came with a massive investment. Over Rs. 10,300 crore was allocated to the IndiaAI Mission over five years. This funding aimed not just at infrastructure, but also at talent, safety, and data access.
