February was anything but incremental for tech policy. India hosted the world during the India AI Impact Summit 2026, showcasing the country's growing AI ecosystem and announcing a slate of commitments by the end of the week. The Summit 2026 did something far harder than setting records in attendance and investments: it established India as an indispensable voice in deciding how AI is built, governed, and shared — not just within its borders, but globally. The month also saw new regulatory developments – the IT Rules were amended, and the conversation on restricting children's access to social media platforms gained momentum

As summer begins, grab some cool watermelon juice, settle in, and join us as we unpack all of this in this month's edition.

This marks a shift from scattered experiments with AI tools for translation, transcription, research and case management. With over 93,000 pending matters as of March 2026, the guidelines aim to ease processes for officials and citizens. AI could help reduce backlogs through automated cause-list preparation, transcription, research, and defect scrutiny, but its use also raises serious concerns.

CERT-In’s New AI-Vulnerability Guidelines: A Quick-Reference For OEMs, Tech Vendors And In-House Counsel

Cybersecurity regulation in India has, until now, largely spoken to the entity that suffers the breach. The 2022 CERT-In Directions issued under Section 70B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 fixed a six-hour reporting clock on the organisation that detects an incident. The new Guidelines flip the lens onto the entity upstream of that breach, the OEM or technology provider that built the product in the first place. For the first time, vendors supplying software, firmware, cloud platforms, or APIs into India carry direct, time-bound, and independently verifiable obligations of their own and not obligations that are merely passed through a customer contract, but obligations CERT-In itself may enforce.
