The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)'s push for the creation of dedicated data platforms seeks to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India. This, going forward, can help create a centre-backed data platform, with data from Indic languages, to progress innovation that will drive the next generation of corporate data infrastructure in the coming years.

On 13 October 2023, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, in an interaction with the media, elaborated on the Centre's India Al strategy, which was based on reports compiled from seven working committee reports. There are two clear prongs to the strategy-first, a multiyear roadmap to develop an India Datasets platform, and second, the development of an India Al compute platform to indigenously build chips that will power super complex and powerful data operations.
