India’s Union Budget 2026 signals a decisive shift, where technology is no longer an enabler, but a driver of governance and growth.
In his reflections on the budget, Vineet Nayar highlights how the convergence of AI, education, and digital infrastructure is shaping a new foundation for India’s global competitiveness. As the Finance Minister noted, AI has the potential to act as a force multiplier for governance, improving efficiency, decision-making, and public service delivery at scale.
But beyond announcements, the real question lies in execution. The opportunity ahead is not just to adopt AI, but to integrate it meaningfully into systems, where it strengthens human capability, builds skills, and drives real outcomes.
