To see such clear intent and speed of action (we were fast tracked by Mr Krishnan to see Mr Nand Kumaram within 15 minutes from after meeting with him) and understanding in the top echelons of the government is a testament to Indiaโs place as a leader in e-governance today - Thoughtful, practical , well-informed conversations on ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐, ๐๐-๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ and service delivery at national scaleโฆ with the real complexities on the table: languages, state variation, privacy, auditability.
We also met officials at ๐ก๐๐จ๐ to discuss the creation of a data platform and its impact.

We discussed Synaptyx AIโs proven track record: ๐ณ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ and process ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ. We talked about how we can bring an AI-first yet people-centred approach to digitisation across diverse data and the consultative lens to the processes which inadvertently need to adapt, and the value of providing conversational analytics that provide a โcockpit viewโ with alerts for the government senior officials . We left with ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐, which is exactly how good work starts.
Grateful for the time and candour from both leaders and for the organisation from Sandeep Bhargava who facilitated an excellent day. Looking forward to keeping the conversations going.
Wishing everyone in India a Happy Republic Day!
