AI, Cybersecurity & Data Governance

India's AI, cybersecurity, and data governance sector is rapidly expanding, driven by the IndiaAI Mission, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and CERT-In's regulatory oversight. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) leads policy, with NITI Aayog and the National Cyber Security Coordinator playing key roles.
