“India’s new AI Governance Framework signals a decisive shift, identity and access governance is now a national-level priority for safe and responsible AI. As organisations embed AI into core decision-making and mission-critical workflows, the real challenge is not model sophistication but ensuring that only the right people, systems, and autonomous agents receive the right level of access for the right purpose at the right time, and can be held accountable for how that access is used.
Traditional, periodic controls were not designed for the velocity, scale, and autonomy that AI environments demand. Indian enterprises will now require converged, intelligence-driven identity platforms that offer continuous assurance, real-time policy enforcement, and AI-led risk detection. This is a pivotal moment for organisations to modernise identity governance and build a secure, innovation-ready foundation for AI.”
