The new rules, which operate within the existing framework of the Information Technology Act, 2000, introduce a principles-based, techno-legal approach to AI governance rather than a standalone AI law . This approach was further reinforced at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, where the government released the India AI Governance Guidelines, anchored in seven guiding principles or “sutras”: Trust is the Foundation, People First, Innovation over Restraint, Fairness and Equity, Accountability, Understandable by Design, and Safety, Resilience and Sustainability .

the West Asia conflict rattled global markets and introduced significant volatility—wealthtech giant Groww delivered what can only be described as a blockbuster performance . The Bengaluru-headquartered fintech platform reported consolidated net profit of ₹686 crore for Q4 FY26, a staggering 122% year-on-year (YoY) jump from ₹309 crore in the same quarter last year .

Operating revenue surged 87% to ₹1,505 crore, up from ₹801 crore in Q4 FY25 . For the full financial year FY26, the company’s revenue from operations reached ₹4,644.6 crore, while net profit stood at ₹2,083 crore .

At the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva made a powerful case. She said that India’s goal of becoming a developed nation (Viksit Bharat) can be achieved with AI-driven innovation and expansion, and that the country could harness AI to achieve its target of a $30 trillion economy by 2047 .

Nvidia officially launched its cloud gaming service GeForce Now in India—ending a 15-month wait that began with the initial announcement at CES 2025 . The service is now available in early access, with invitations rolling out on a first-come, first-served basis to users who registered on Nvidia’s India microsite .

What makes this launch genuinely significant is not just that it’s finally here, but how Nvidia has structured its entry: local infrastructure, aggressive introductory pricing, and a clear recognition that India’s gaming market is ready for a service that lowers hardware barriers.

A new Bengaluru-based startup is stepping in to change that equation. Helium, a tech-led real estate rental management platform, has secured its first funding round of ₹5 crore from a group of prominent startup founders. The round includes Albinder Dhindsa (CEO, Blinkit), Kunal Shah (CEO, CRED), and a host of other seasoned operators including Zomato cofounders Pankaj Chaddah, Mohit Gupta, Akriti Chopra, and Gunjan Patidar.

Bengaluru-based healthtech startup Ivory is stepping into this void. The company has unveiled what it calls the “Brain Treadmill Test” —an AI-powered, neuroscience-based digital assessment designed to measure memory, attention, and executive function. Much like a physical treadmill test evaluates heart performance under stress, this new tool aims to make cognitive health measurable, trackable, and, crucially, a routine part of preventive healthcare.

Recognising this potential, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, through its Centre of Excellence for Road Safety (CoERS) , has launched the AI Road Safety Hackathon 2026. The initiative, announced at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, invites students, engineers, and technology enthusiasts from across the country to build AI-powered solutions addressing India’s most pressing road safety challenges .

In the early hours of April 7, 2026, a team from the Noida Cyber Crime Police Station, acting on technical surveillance and local intelligence inputs, raided a high-rise apartment in Sector 76, Noida . The operation was swift and precise. Inside, they found four young men—ages 24 to 27—sitting in front of laptops, headsets on, speaking in fluent American accents to targets thousands of miles away.

The company has raised $22 million in a Series A funding round led by San Francisco-based Greenoaks Capital, with participation from existing investors RTP Global and Unicorn India Ventures . The round, which closed in early April 2026, comes on the heels of a $9.6 million seed round raised in 2025, bringing the startup’s total funding to approximately $31.6 million .
