We’re elated to share that our Founder & CEO, Gaurav Godhwani and Associate Researcher, Ahsnat Mokarim have contributed to 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚: 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲, an essay volume by @DigiFuturesLab exploring the choices that
will shape India’s AI future.
Their chapter, “𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐀𝐈 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲,” examines a critical question:
Is India’s AI challenge really a lack of data, or the
lack of infrastructure to make existing data usable, responsible and inclusive?
The essay explores key challenges including poor data quality and fragmentation, limited interoperability, gaps in representation, fragmented governance, consent, and the AI-readiness of datasets.
It argues for a shift towards a coordinated data ecosystem built on responsible data infrastructure, uniform data-sharing mechanisms, domain-specific data collaboratives, and stronger data stewardship.
