The gap is not innovation. It is execution capacity.
Policy opens a doorway. Someone still has to walk through it with a named problem, a matched consortium and a signed pilot. That is the work IIDA is set up to do.
What we can launch in 90 to 180 days
Policy desk
Track cabinet notifications, department owners and incentive triggers so members know what has actually changed.
Maharashtra AI Policy 2026 · MahaIT · IndiaAI Mission
Problem bank
An open call for vetted sector pain points from enterprises and government departments, on a member-governed portal.
Models: Telangana T-AIM · Gujarat’s cross-department programme
Pilot consortiums
Match founders, enterprises and labs around two to three sector pilots using shared compute.
Anchored in the state centres of excellence · RBI FREE-AI framework
Funding bridge
A co-investment pool and challenge fund to crowd in private capital behind early proofs of concept.
Alongside the state AI startup venture fund and IndiaAI compute portal
Governance kit
Publish an adapted AI readiness and procurement scorecard states can actually use.
Models: Tamil Nadu safe and ethical AI policy · Karnataka responsible AI committee
Every action ships one visible output — a document, a working group, a pilot, or a commitment.
Open questions
Undecided
Six things we have not settled.
Publishing open questions is not indecision. It is how you get useful answers from people who know more than you do.
- Which two or three sectors anchor the first twelve months
- Who anchors the relationship with the state AI mission
- Under what governance the problem bank is curated and vetted
- The size and structure of a founding challenge fund
- Whether to co-invest alongside the state fund or operate separately
- How IIDA positions relative to existing national AI bodies
