S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), stands at the intersection of policy, technology, and institutional reform at a moment when India’s digital trajectory is entering a decisive phase.

This convergence is reflected in MeitY’s stewardship of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, an initiative that signals India’s intent to move the global artificial intelligence conversation beyond abstract frameworks towards measurable outcomes, inclusion, and real-world deployment.
