On Technology Day, India’s digital achievements are celebrated, but enterprises face challenges from fragmented data. Dispersed systems across sectors hinder analytics, slow decisions, and reduce AI effectiveness. Srividya Kannan, Avaali CEO, highlights that fragmented data also heightens security, governance, and compliance risks, emphasizing the need for unified, centrally governed data.

Avaali announces leadership reshuffle to advance its AI-first agenda, launching the Enterprise Resilience Hub; Jay Keller becomes CTO, Kannan Sheshadri COO, and three VPs promoted to drive innovation and operations.

India is rapidly advancing in AI, leveraging strategic investments, domestic infrastructure, and global partnerships to compete with China and the US. Initiatives like AI Kosh, foundational models, and Digital Public Infrastructure integration drive innovation, while challenges in computing, trust, and cost remain. Responsible, inclusive AI positions India for global leadership.

Enterprise Resilience Hubs (ERHs) go beyond traditional GBS/GCCs, leveraging AI, automation, and analytics to drive resilient, efficient, and innovative operations. India’s skilled talent, digital infrastructure, and supportive policies make it ideal for ERHs. Avaali implements ERHs, delivering automation, governance, and process optimization, achieving significant cycle-time reductions and cost savings for global enterprises.

Women’s Day emphasizes accelerating gender equity, especially in technology. True inclusion requires women’s initiative, organizational mentorship, transparent policies, and bias-free cultures. Investing in women’s STEM education and supporting career growth fosters future leaders. Persistent action—by individuals and organizations—breaks barriers, empowering women to lead, innovate, and shape a more equitable tomorrow.

India’s Budget 2025 is hailed for driving technology, innovation, and skilling. Initiatives include AI Centres of Excellence, Deeptech Fund of Funds, expanded IIT infrastructure, Atal Tinkering Labs, and promoting GCCs in Tier-II cities. Focused on manufacturing, green energy, and digital growth, the budget aims to enhance employment, sustainability, and India’s global competitiveness.

India’s tech industry anticipates Budget 2025 to boost AI, automation, and digital transformation, with incentives for GBS/GCC units, R&D, and PLI schemes. Leaders stress tax relief, infrastructure expansion, workforce upskilling, and women in tech initiatives, aiming to strengthen innovation, efficiency, and India’s global leadership in technology and talent.

India’s AI ambitions hinge on robust infrastructure, data quality, and talent. Large-scale AI models require high-performance GPUs, energy-efficient data centers, and advanced storage. While initiatives like the IndiaAI Mission lay the groundwork, experts emphasize scaling AI-ready hardware, fostering GPU ecosystems, enhancing data management, and strengthening industry-academia collaboration to compete globally.

India’s tech industry looks to Union Budget 2025 to boost AI adoption, digital infrastructure, and talent development. Srividya Kannan, CEO of Avaali, emphasizes investments in R&D, workforce upskilling, cybersecurity, and public-private collaboration to foster innovation, ensure inclusive growth, and maintain India’s global competitiveness in technology.

Union Budget 2025-26 will be presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1, marking the start of a 27-sitting Budget Session (Jan 31–Apr 4). Ahead of this, industry leaders across sectors have shared their expectations, urging the government to focus on policies that drive growth, innovation, and economic competitiveness.
