The dual forces propelling the digital economy in India are technological innovation and the need for robust governance. The India Future Foundation (IFF) works to bolster these forces by creating platforms that help in advancement of new technologies and also help shape the regulatory frameworks that are required for a safe and reliable digital ecosystem.

Through its workshops, IFF brings together senior policymakers and legal experts to contribute towards putting in place India’s national roadmap for artificial intelligence governance. The stated goal is to ensure that technological progress aligns with ethical and responsible principles.

Also IFF actively promotes the adoption of these new technologies through its workshops. These workshops demonstrated the practical applications of AI in revolutionising productivity within key sectors including the government and the public sector.

This push for innovation is balanced by a strong focus on governance, as evidenced by the IFF’s extensive work in decoding the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. By helping organisations understand their new data privacy obligations, IFF is working towards building the foundation of trust upon which the digital economy must rest.
