Desi AI: A blueprint for leadership
ANTHROPIC'S RELEASE OF Claude Cowork and Claude Code triggered a sharp dip in Indian IT stocks, signalling a vastly changed technology ecosystem. India’s manpower-intensive services companies are clearly under threat from artificial intelligence (AI), anda transition to an intellectual property-driven future leveraging Alis now an existential necessity. When confronted in Davos recently with the label “second-tier AI power”, Union Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw gave a thoughtful riposte, laying out a layered AI taxonomy and arguing that leadership in many of the layers makes India decidedly not second tier. While this assertion is sound, the underlying anxiety is real—Indians aspire to a indigenous or desi AI that is an unequivocal global leader. The key question about realising this aspiration is not if the government should be involved, but how. We answer this through a careful examination of historical successes and failures in governance of technology development—from Tokyo to Washington, and from Centre For Development Of Telematics (C-DoT) to United Payments Interface (UPI).
