Sandboxing could power India’s next wave of AI startups: MeitY Startup Hub CEO

India’s artificial intelligence (AI) innovation ecosystem could benefit from a sandboxing framework similar to the one used in the financial sector, according to Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Startup Hub.

In the policy and regulatory context, sandboxing refers to a controlled environment where emerging technologies can be tested under real-world conditions, but with regulatory oversight and safeguards.
