India is creating its own AI stack. Here's why
India is building a "sovereign AI stack" to run its own AI systems, data, and apps without relying on foreign tech.
The plan? Use open-source tools and homegrown talent to make sure Indian priorities—like supporting local languages and protecting data—are front and center.
It's not just about keeping data in the country; it's about controlling the hardware, software, rules, and the whole AI ecosystem.
A new era for local language tech
This move could make AI tools more accessible in Indian languages and help underserved communities get better digital services.
With companies like NxtGen and Red Hat providing sovereign AI infrastructure, Indian startups and organizations are better equipped to develop smarter tech in areas like banking, farming, or even government apps.
If all goes well, India could become a leader in creating responsible and locally relevant AI—making tech work better for everyone here.
