'Strategic autonomy' in AI crucial, avoid overdependence on single source: IT Secretary, S Krishnan

Summary

India’s IT leadership is pushing for domestic AI capability, diversified supply chains, and a regulatory framework that avoids overdependence on any single source.

Why it matters

Policy is shifting toward resilience. That has implications for cloud strategy, data governance, procurement, and how much portability founders need to build into their stack.

Founder/operator read

• Multi-provider architecture can reduce regulatory and vendor risk.
• Compliance and portability should be product features, not afterthoughts.
• Expect more scrutiny around AI dependence, sourcing, and governance.
