IIT Bombay E-Cell - AI Innovation Partner
The GAHNA initiative is India's sovereign AI mission focused on building purpose-driven small language and reasoning models for strategic and critical sectors. It emphasizes data sovereignty, explainability, and operational trust, ensuring that AI systems are aligned with national priorities rather than generic global use cases.
GAHNA CyberMind is the cybersecurity pillar of this initiative and was launched in a grand ceremony at IIT Bombay, where GAHNA participated as an AI Innovation Partner. The launch highlighted India's capability to design and deploy indigenous AI models for cyber defense, security operations, and critical infrastructure protection.
GAHNA EduPath extends the GAHNA vision into education by enabling personalized, adaptive, and explainable learning through a sovereign AI framework. It demonstrates how domain-focused AI can transform education systems while keeping data ownership, transparency, and local context at the core.
