What is the India AI Impact Summit 2026?

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 is a flagship MeitY event under the IndiaAI Mission, bringing together global leaders to shape India's national AI strategy covering compute, governance, safety, and skilling.

What is the IndiaAI Mission?

The IndiaAI Mission is a government initiative under MeitY to build India's AI ecosystem including compute infrastructure, large datasets, indigenous models, safety frameworks, and mass skilling.

How can government employees access AI compute?

The government has subsidised AI compute access, making it available at one-third the international price for researchers, innovators, students, and SMEs through the IndiaAI Mission infrastructure.

Will AI skilling become mandatory for central government employees?

No mandatory order has been issued yet. However, the Summit strongly signaled that government-sponsored AI skilling programs will be significantly expanded in 2026 across all departments including non-technical roles.
