India AI

AI in Indian public institutions

Essays and projects about how AI can support the work of Indian institutions, from preparing a brief to understanding energy-sector data.

The question

What would make AI useful in a ministry or public enterprise?

Models matter, but the hard Indian problem is institutional translation: putting AI on top of files, briefs, sector data, public evidence, workflows, and the judgement loops where decisions actually get made.

The linked projects explore parts of that question. They are independent experiments, rather than evidence that an institution has adopted or endorsed this approach.
