Building India’s AI ecosystem @IAMAI | Ex-GoI (@PrasarBharati) | AI & Tech Policy in India | Regulation, innovation & public policy | Bharat-first.

[Sidheswar(Sid) Misra/सिद्धेश्वर मिश्र @msidheswar]

Most founders are underestimating India’s AI policy.

Here’s what’s coming:

→ Sector-specific regulation
→ Data governance focus
→ Trust as core metric
Policy will shape winners more than tech.
Thoughts?

[President of India @rashtrapatibhvn]

ଗଣପର୍ବ 'ରଜ' ଉପଲକ୍ଷେ ଦେଶବାସୀଙ୍କୁ, ବିଶେଷକରି ଓଡ଼ିଶାବାସୀଙ୍କୁ ଆନ୍ତରିକ ଶୁଭେଚ୍ଛା ଜଣାଉଛି ।

ବର୍ଷାଋତୁର ଏହି ଆବାହନୀ ଉତ୍ସବ ମାଟି, ମା ଓ ମେଘକୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ଜଣାଇ ପାଳନ କରାଯାଏ । ପିଠା, ପାନ ଓ ଦୋଳି ଖେଳର ଆସର ଭିତରେ ରଜ ଆମକୁ ପ୍ରକୃତି ସହିତ ମିଳିମିଶି ରହିବାର ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ଦେଇଥାଏ । ରଜ ପର୍ବର ଏହି ବିଶେଷତ୍ଵ ଆମକୁ ଦେଶ-ବିକାଶରେ ବ୍ରତୀ ହେବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରେରଣା ଦେବ ବୋଲି ମୋର ଆଶା ।

ରଜ ଅବସରରେ ମୁଁ ରାଜ୍ୟ ତଥା ଦେଶବାସୀଙ୍କର ସୁଖ, ଶାନ୍ତି ଓ ସମୃଦ୍ଧି କାମନା କରୁଅଛି ।

@karandi65 @NITIAayog Congratulations on assuming this important role at NITI Aayog. The intersection of technology, research, sustainability, and public policy will be crucial for India’s growth trajectory. Wishing you the very best in driving meaningful and inclusive impact.

[Abhay Karandikar @karandi65]

I have completed my term as Secretary @IndiaDST and will be taking charge as Member @NITIAayog on Monday.

It was a very satisfying and highly enriching experience for me. Having spent my entire professional career in academics, I had my own reservations initially when I joined as Secretary to the Government of India. But the immense cooperation from all my colleagues & other stakeholders in the system made my nearly three-year tenure a great and fulfilling one.

Odisha’s food heritage is a hidden gem! 💎 From the smoky sweetness of Poda Pitha to the turmeric-infused aroma of Enduri Pitha, there’s so much to discover. Truly underrated! 🥥🍯 #OdiaFood #Odisha #Pitha

[Manas Muduli @manas_muduli]

Odia pithas are highly underrated. ❤️

One of my non-Odia friends tried them recently and was simply amazed by the taste and variety.

Odisha’s traditional pithas deserve way more recognition across India.

[Sidheswar(Sid) Misra/सिद्धेश्वर मिश्र @msidheswar]

Wonderful to see Odia cuisine getting the appreciation it deserves. Its beauty lies in balance, simplicity,freshness & tradition. From Dahi Bara Aloo Dum to Besara, Pakhala & Dalma — Odisha’s culinary heritage is truly special. Thank you,@hvgoenka ji for highlighting so nicely.🙏

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Indian cuisine conversations often revolve around Punjabi, South Indian or Bengali food. Odiya cuisine deserves a much bigger place on that table.
What struck me most was its restraint. No overload of cream, butter or chillies. Just balance, mustard, fermentation, texture and freshness.
Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (popular street food), Drumstick-Brinjal Besara, Chhena Tarkari, Chakuli Pitha (like dosa) Aloo Patra Besara… all made at home.

[Sidheswar(Sid) Misra/सिद्धेश्वर मिश्र @msidheswar]

Most founders track tech signals early.
Very few track policy signals.
That gap will define winners.

[Sidheswar(Sid) Misra/सिद्धेश्वर मिश्र @msidheswar]

Most Indian startups don’t have an AI problem.
They have a policy blindness problem.
And when regulation starts shaping markets, many will realise it too late.

Are founders underestimating this?

[Sidheswar(Sid) Misra/सिद्धेश्वर मिश्र @msidheswar]

India’s AI policy will shape how startups build, scale & compete.

After Govt experience & now working on AI ecosystem:

→ Regulation will be sector-specific
→ Data governance is central
→ Trust will define winners
Clear, simple insights on AI & tech policy in India.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

अथक परिश्रम और सत्य के मार्ग पर चलकर प्राप्त की गई सफलता स्थायी होती है। इससे जहां आत्मविश्वास बढ़ता है, वहीं मन को अद्भुत संतोष भी मिलता है।

न तथा बलवीर्याभ्यां जयन्ति विजिगीषवः।

यथा सत्यानृशंस्याभ्यां धर्मेणैवोद्यमेन च ।।
