India's AI build, by functional layer

This explainer organises Indian AI around the parts that have to work together: policy, compute access, power, data, models, applications, talent, institutions, and procurement.

• Capability: compute, data, model access, evaluation, and domain-specific workflows.
• Institutions: public agencies, enterprises, startups, universities, and procurement channels.
• Gaps: places where ambition, infrastructure, incentives, and actual adoption do not yet line up.
