Anuradha Natarajan, Head of Technology Strategy and Engineering Operations, Altimetrik
“AI is emerging as the next defining layer of India’s technology journey, moving beyond experimentation to actively shaping decisions, operations, and outcomes at scale. As the country builds on its legacy of large-scale digital innovation, this shift marks a transition from enabling access to driving intelligent, real-time impact across industries.
However, with AI influencing areas such as finance, healthcare, and public services, the risks are becoming more consequential. Gaps in governance, data quality, and security are no longer technical limitations but systemic challenges that can impact trust, fairness, and resilience. Many organizations today are accelerating AI adoption without fully addressing accountability, creating blind spots around bias, explainability, and control.
Addressing this requires a fundamental reset. AI must be built with strong data foundations, transparent decision-making, and secure-by-design architectures. Equally important is ensuring inclusivity, designing systems that work across diverse populations and do not deepen existing divides.
At Altimetrik, the focus is on helping enterprises industrialize AI responsibly by embedding governance, risk management, and engineering discipline into every stage of the lifecycle, enabling scale without compromising trust.
On National Technology Day, as we reflect on the theme ‘Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth,’ the opportunity ahead lies in shaping AI that is not only transformative, but also accountable, inclusive, and built to deliver sustainable impact at scale. “
Ajay Kharbanda, CEO, Arinox AI
“On National Technology Day, we must confront an uncomfortable truth. Technology that can’t be trusted can’t be scaled. And technology that cannot be deployed sovereignly cannot be called strategic.
India’s AI ambitions particularly in defense, critical infrastructure, and governance demand more than imported intelligence running on foreign clouds. They demand AI that is sovereign in deployment, secure for enterprise processes and intellectual property, and accountable in operation. The era of black-box AI handed down from third-party vendors running on the cloud must give way to systems that government agencies and defense establishments can own, audit, and adapt.
The shift is already underway. AI-in-a-box sovereign deployments, multilingual voice interfaces that bridge the urban-rural gap, real-time decision intelligence at the edge, are operational realities, and India is building them.
But technology alone will not deliver inclusive growth. It requires deliberate policy, procurement reform, and an industry that prioritizes sovereignty. As AI becomes central to national security and public service delivery, the responsibility on builders grows exponentially.
This year’s theme, “Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth” is a strategic imperative that signals the need for sovereign AI that is accessible to organizations across the board. Sovereign AI capability is not just a nice-to-have technology. It is the foundation of a self-reliant, resilient, and equitable digital India.” – Ajay Kharbanda, CEO, Arinox AI

Prasad Panchagnula – MD & Chief Business Officer at Embark
“GCCs have moved decisively from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption, with centres now investing in Agentic AI and a growing number establishing dedicated innovation teams to globalise ideas. That signals a clear shift in capability.
However, capability alone does not equate to responsibility. As organisations scale AI, the real challenge is no longer deployment, but clarity and understanding where AI is creating measurable value, how it is being used across workflows, and whether it is being governed effectively. Responsible AI 2.0 demands transparency, governance, and ethical assurance through continuous validation and the ability to connect AI activity to business outcomes.
The most successful GCCs today are moving towards hybrid agentic operating models, where human expertise and autonomous systems work in tandem. In these environments, human teams define strategic intent, establish guardrails, and ensure accountability, while AI drives execution at scale. Getting that balance right, across geographies, functions, and evolving use cases is where India’s GCCs are being truly tested. At Embark, we believe responsible innovation must be engineered into the system from the outset. When we build GCCs, we integrate technology, governance, and measurement into a single operating framework as inclusive growth will not come from access to AI alone, but from the ability to scale it responsibly, transparently, and with clear impact.”- Prasad Panchagnula – MD & Chief Business Officer at Embark

Vikrant Payal, Senior Director, AI COE – Engineering, Epsilon India
“This National Technology Day, we reflect on how the last few years have drastically reduced friction in the journey from development to deployment. At the same time, AI has empowered business users to demand more and demand it faster.
In such a frictionless system, risk does not disappear. It multiplies. The only way to avoid chaos and ‘death at prototype’ is maintaining a sharp focus on the purpose and intended value of the solution. We have replaced friction with feedback. Fast intentional feedback has been our compass, helping us turn velocity into value.
This is a fundamental shift from the traditional SDLC. We now build in constant dialogue with our users, learning early, correcting quickly, and staying relentlessly focused on purpose. This is not simply a faster software lifecycle, but something more powerful, a continuously active business enablement lifecycle, always learning, always evolving.
This is not a phase or a methodology. It is a mindset. And it defines how we will continue to build meaningful technology in an AI first world.”- Vikrant Payal, Senior Director, AI COE – Engineering, Epsilon India

Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director, eScan
“India’s technology self-reliance requires building capabilities others won’t share – especially in cybersecurity. AI tools discovering 271 Firefox vulnerabilities demonstrate technology’s dual nature: strengthening defenses or weaponizing attacks depending on control.
Responsible innovation means mandatory disclosure timelines requiring AI researchers to share findings with developers before publication, strict guardrails preventing LLMs from generating functional exploit code, and ensuring open-source models undergo the same scrutiny as proprietary systems.
Inclusive growth happens when cybersecurity innovation protects small businesses and government agencies equally, not just enterprises. India needs indigenous AI-powered security addressing actual Indian threats – regulatory compliance, regional patterns, and local constraints – rather than importing foreign solutions designed elsewhere.”– Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director, eScan
Piyush Jha, Group Vice President and Head – APAC, GlobalLogic
“As AI moves from digital interfaces into the physical world, responsible innovation is no longer optional; it becomes foundational. This year’s National Technology Day marks a decisive inflection point for India, where the conversation is rapidly shifting from capability to control. The emergence of advanced systems, including vulnerability-discovery models, has underscored the real risks of AI operating on legacy and mission-critical infrastructure, accelerating the need for stronger guardrails, regulatory oversight, and industry-wide governance frameworks.
As physical and agentic AI begin to interact with real-world systems, the convergence of software, data, and machines introduces new dimensions of risk, ranging from systemic failures to amplified vulnerabilities at scale. This demands that governance is not layered on after deployment, but engineered into the core through secure architectures, real-time observability, and accountable AI frameworks.At GlobalLogic, we have been building and scaling AI long before it became mainstream, embedding intelligence deep into engineering, platforms, and real-world systems. Today, with over 75 AI-powered solutions, 200+ AI-enabled client engagements, and nearly half of our business augmented by AI, our focus is on engineering differentiation that translates into real-world impact.

Sivakumar Ekambaram, India Site Leader, GoTo
“Responsible innovation is no longer about what we build, but who it truly reaches and enables. In a market as diverse as India, technology must be designed to include, not exclude. That calls for solutions that are simple to adopt, secure by design, and accessible to businesses at every stage of their digital journey.
At GoTo, we are seeing AI move from experimentation to everyday utility. When applied thoughtfully, AI can take on repetitive IT tasks, speed up issue resolution, and help teams stay focused on higher-value work. The real impact lies in making these capabilities intuitive and reliable, so they support both technical and non-technical users without adding complexity.
Cloud communications and IT support have become the foundation of distributed work. As organizations scale across locations, the focus must remain on reducing friction and strengthening trust. Inclusive growth will come from ensuring that advances in AI and cloud technology translate into tangible improvements in how people work, collaborate, and stay productive.”
Naresh Agarwal, SVP, Engineering, India, Harness
Technology has reached a point where the question is no longer how fast we can innovate, but whether innovation itself is moving in the right direction. As AI, automation, and intelligent systems become deeply embedded into how industries operate, responsible innovation becomes less of a principle and more of a necessity.
The real challenge today is not the pace of technological advancement, but ensuring that scale does not outpace accountability. Systems are becoming more autonomous, decisions increasingly data-driven, and digital infrastructure now shapes everything from access and opportunity to trust and security. In that environment, innovation cannot be measured only by efficiency or output. It has to be evaluated by its ability to create systems that are resilient, transparent, and built for long-term impact, with Responsible AI becoming critical to ensuring that intelligence is guided by trust, oversight, and accountability at scale.
Inclusive growth is central to that conversation. Technology only becomes truly transformative when access to opportunity expands alongside it and when innovation is enabled across geographies, communities, and talent pools, rather than concentrated within a few ecosystems. Some of the most globally relevant technology today is being shaped by diverse teams operating from entirely different contexts and perspectives, and that diversity is leading to systems that are more adaptable, practical, and representative of real-world needs.
The next phase of innovation will depend on how intentionally we balance progress with responsibility. The focus can no longer be on building technology simply because we can, but on building systems that create lasting value, expand access, and strengthen trust at scale.

Ashish Tandon, Founder & CEO, Indusface
“Every National Technology Day, we tell ourselves a familiar story. Indian tech is at an inflection point, AI will disrupt everything, the future belongs to the bold. The story I’d rather tell is more specific. AI is going to create more digital doorways into businesses in the next three years than the internet did in its first twenty. Every agent, every API, every automated workflow is a new way for hackers to get in. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic will ship the models. Someone has to make sure enterprises can deploy them without handing attackers the keys. That isn’t a constraint on innovation. It’s the precondition for it. The Indian technology firms that understand this won’t just survive the AI shift. They’ll define the category that comes out of it: security and trust, delivered at machine speed.” Ashish Tandon, Founder & CEO, Indusface.
Girish Hirde, Global Delivery Head at InfoVision
“Today, technology has reached a stage where its true test is not in what it can do, but in what it chooses to solve. At InfoVision, the belief is that intelligence without direction only amplifies noise, while intelligence guided by intent reshapes industries. Artificial intelligence, cloud, and data are no longer instruments of efficiency, they are instruments of judgment, influencing how enterprises perceive risk, opportunity, and growth. The difference now lies in the discipline to ask better questions before building faster answers. On this National Technology Day, our focus should be on building systems that make decisions traceable, outcomes predictable, and value impossible to ignore.” – said Girish Hirde, Global Delivery Head at InfoVision.

At Intellect, we believe the future of enterprise transformation will be driven by Business Impact AI. With the emergence of ‘Enterprise AI on Tap’ and platforms such as Purple Fabric, organisations now have access to judgment-centric, governance-ready AI capabilities that can be securely deployed at scale across critical enterprise workflows.
As AI adoption matures, trust, sovereignty, explainability, and compliance will become foundational to how enterprises build and operationalise AI. India’s innovation ecosystem is well-positioned to lead this transition by developing globally relevant, enterprise-grade AI solutions that combine responsible innovation with scalable, inclusive business impact. The next phase of growth will belong to organisations that can operationalise trusted AI with speed, intelligence, and purpose.”
Praveer Kochhar, Co-Founder & CPO, KOGO AI
“National Technology Day is a moment for the AI industry in India to ask itself one defining question, “Are we building AI that serves everyone or only those who can really afford to lead?”
While the world is busy focusing on frontier models and raw intelligence, at KOGO AI, we firmly believe that the future belongs to those building governed intelligence or systems that are private by design, accountable by architecture and inclusive by intent. Agentic AI is already automating entire departments, compressing decision cycles from weeks to seconds. But automation without equity is merely concentration of power dressed in the language of innovation.
India is in a unique position currently. We have the talent, the scale, and increasingly, the indigenous capability to not just adopt global AI but to define what responsible AI looks like for 1.4 billion people. That means building platforms that protect data sovereignty, empower enterprises, and function in regional contexts.
The question for this decade is not whether AI transformation will be broad or narrow, opaque or inclusive. Responsible innovation demands we choose broad and inclusive. Every time.“

This year’s theme, ‘Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth,’ sets an important benchmark that the true measure of tech progress isn’t speed of innovation alone, but the breadth of lives it improves and the trust it earns.
At New Relic, we work at the intersection of innovation and accountability. Our AI-strengthened intelligent observability platform gives engineering teams, be it global enterprises or Indian startups, real-time intelligence into how their systems behave, where they fail and how quickly they recover. In a country where a single digital outage can affect hundreds of millions of people using government portals, UPI payments, or healthcare platforms, reliability is a social responsibility.
For New Relic, responsible innovation means deploying AI that’s monitored, measurable and correctable so digital infrastructure performs under peak load on festival days, on exam result days, on election days and more. It means ensuring that the digital experience for users in Bengaluru and Bhagalpur, Kolkata and Kanpur is held to the same standard of quality.
India is powering everything from fintech to agritech, from smart cities to satellite-grade connectivity. Responsible innovation begins with visibility. When you can see exactly how your AI models behave in production, how your applications perform under the stress of millions of users, including first-time internet users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the guessing stops and guaranteeing inclusive growth begins. That is the difference between technology that serves a few and technology that truly scales for all.
The country is writing the playbook for inclusive digital growth that the world will study for decades. We are honoured to be part of the ecosystem that keeps those systems observable, resilient and trustworthy because growth that can’t be measured can’t be sustained, and innovation that can’t be trusted can’t truly be responsible.” – Ganesh Narasimhadevara, Director of Solutions Consulting, New Relic India

“This National Technology Day, what stands out is how healthcare is slowly becoming more connected to everyday life rather than confined to occasional checkups. For a long time, care has depended on moments, a visit, a test, a report, often missing what happens in between.
Technology is now beginning to close that gap by making it possible to follow health more continuously, not just occasionally. This shift matters because the right insight at the right time can often change outcomes in a meaningful way. At proRITHM, we are working toward making this kind of understanding more accessible, where data can quietly guide better decisions in everyday life. It is a step toward healthcare that feels more connected, more aware, and more in tune with how people actually live, which is what makes this progress truly meaningful on National Technology Day.” Vamsi Karatam, Founder
& CEO at proRITHM

“For years, technology in marketing was largely about efficiency. Better targeting, faster execution, and refined analytics kept the wheels turning. But AI is changing the role technology plays altogether. We are now living in the era of intelligent marketing, where brands can move beyond broad audience assumptions and understand customer needs in far greater depth, not over weeks or months, but in real time. Campaign cycles have become shorter, sharper, and more targeted.
In a market as diverse as India, where audiences differ across language, region, culture, and consumption behavior, traditional marketing models often struggled to create relevance at an individual level. AI changes that equation, enabling brands to dynamically adapt communication for different consumer journeys without losing authenticity. National Technology Day’s theme, “Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth,” also reflects the direction marketing is heading toward. In the coming years, marketing will become far more personal and intuitive, shaped around individual needs, preferences, and pain points. Consumers will not just engage with brands more frequently; they will feel more heard.
What makes this moment even more exciting is that AI is still evolving. Yet, it is already redefining how businesses communicate and connect. By the next National Technology Day, we will likely be discussing advancements that may seem unimaginable today. That is the pace at which technology is evolving and influencing every facet of business. The future will belong to those willing to evolve alongside it. But at its core, its real value will always lie in how meaningfully it helps businesses connect with people. That is the future marketing is moving toward, and it is only getting started.“

Amit Sharma, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Twid
“When AI systems begin making decisions that affect people’s money in real time, responsibility has to be engineered into the architecture itself.
In financial ecosystems, the cost of an error can have huge financial implications. A false fraud flag blocks access to funds, resulting in a poor customer experience. A poorly governed autonomous workflow scales errors instantly. As AI embeds deeper into financial infrastructure, responsibility belongs in system design and architecture.
This means building architectures with traceability, continuous monitoring, model governance, and fail-safe mechanisms as foundational components. People trust systems that consistently do what they promise, and engineers build that consistency through principled system design.
At TWID, we believe the next generation of fintech engineering in India will be defined by how transparently and responsibly these systems make decisions that impact people’s financial lives.”
Vinay Pradhan, Country Manager & Senior Director, India & South Asia, Udemy
“National Technology Day is a motivating reminder to reflect on India’s remarkable journey with technology and look forward to the exciting possibilities ahead. India has made impressive strides in embracing new-age technologies like AI, securing its place among the top countries with AI skills and capabilities. That itself speaks about the nation’s zest for innovation. Even the government, through initiatives like the AI Mission, is equipping the workforce with essential AI skills.
Right now, the focus should narrow to maximizing the value AI brings. As AI evolves into new phases, India’s workforce must keep pace. While many are receiving learning opportunities, our Udemy-YouGov research reveals they’re still navigating their practical application in their specific roles. With technology advancing so rapidly, this gap is natural. To sustain the spirit of innovation and climb the AI ladder, Indian enterprises need a focused approach that drives inclusive growth.
Organizations should meet employees where they are and provide targeted learning experiences that drive their career journeys. No employee, regardless of background or current skill level, should feel detached from these technologies. Instead, learning should be charted so everyone becomes capable of building their own growth path. They can leverage the power of AI to diagnose employee function, goals, and skill gaps to curate personalized learning journeys. It enables businesses to seamlessly embed learning into the flow of work, continuously adapting based on progress to keep it practical, nimble and relevant to specific roles and business outcomes. It empowers employees to apply new capabilities in real time and grow alongside the business.
This well-thought-out plan also aligns with this year’s National Technology Day’s theme: “Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth.“ By prioritizing accessible, role-specific AI upskilling, organizations will be able to ensure inclusive growth and ensure their adoption and innovation are responsible. “ – Vinay Pradhan, Country Manager & Senior Director, India & South Asia, Udemy

“Indian enterprises are rapidly moving from the experimental stage to enterprise-wide AI adoption. Organizations that succeed in this evolution will be those that integrate governance, security, and human oversight at the core of their AI and cloud strategies. And those who fail at AI will not do so due to a lack of technology, but rather a disregard for “accountability.”
In a rapidly changing geopolitical environment, where data sovereignty, cyber risk, and supply chain resilience are critical, trust is what determines competitive advantage. Therefore, enterprises will need technologies that are stable, secure, and locally adaptable. From a resilience standpoint, AI-augmented operations help reduce risk in global delivery models, reducing location dependency, enabling distributed intelligence, and ensuring continuity amid uncertainty.
This National Technology Day is an opportunity for organizations to recognize that the future of enterprise technology lies in responsible, human-centric AI that boosts productivity, builds trust, and enables inclusive economic participation especially in an uncertain global environment.“
