Building resilient AI strategies for Indian enterprises
Artificial intelligence (
AI
) is progressively transforming businesses around the world, and India is not far behind. The technology is expected to bring about previously untapped economies of scale in the country and boost innovation and productivity.
By 2035, AI is expected to have a potential economic impact on India of USD 15.7 trillion while creating nearly 400,000 new jobs, illustrating the technology's breakthrough potential in Indian workplaces. This makes the jobs of C-suite executives and industry leaders extremely critical when deploying AI in workflows, as the goal should be to balance innovation, ethics, and improved security.
Cyber Resilience in the AI Era
However, due to the increased reliance on AI, cybercrime and its added complexities have grown. Data shows 95 entities were attacked in 2024, making India the second most targeted country. Thus, security has emerged as the highest priority in developing and implementing new AI technologies.

Therefore, organizations must create a coordinated defense plan that integrates proactive security measures into their systems and procedures to maintain safety standards. One way to do this is by using generative AI (Gen AI) security systems, specifically autonomous AI systems or agentic AI. As these systems are designed to reduce human error, prioritize risks, and automate alarm analysis, they significantly increase overall security resilience. The inherent ability of such systems to rapidly process massive amounts of data makes them ideal for pre-emptively detecting attacks and reacting to them in real-time.
Creating a Governance Framework
Live Events
Another form of security lapse is the unauthorized use of AI tools within an organization. Such lapses may result in data breaches, misinformation, compliance violations, and security vulnerabilities—issues that will define the AI era. To avoid such scenarios, having an
AI governance framework
in place is key.
Such frameworks should include routine monitoring of the AI tools used to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The European Union (EU) can inspire such a structure, having set the norm for AI regulation with its AI Act of 2024.
A change of mindset in the way security is viewed is key. Security should be a top priority for leaders in all departments, not just those in IT. One way is a cross-functional leadership team comprising security leaders, C-suite executives, engineers, developers, data management, security operations, IT operations, and incident response teams. This team can subsequently collaborate to establish a cyber resilience strategy while referencing pre-existing frameworks. This collaborative environment also empowers employees to understand security measures, which goes a long way in providing them with security measures. As a result, this boosts the organization's overall security framework and sends a strong message that security is the top-most priority.
Innovation with Accountability
Recent reports have stated that India's AI market will grow at a CAGR of 25-35%, reinforcing the country's innovation and job creation potential. The government has started initiatives such as the IndiaAI Mission and is also actively funding leading universities to develop solutions that address privacy concerns and cyber threats.
Therefore, the key should focus on establishing a governance framework that encourages innovation while ensuring accountability. Businesses must develop and implement a framework that offers users a responsible and ethical system. Just as sustainability has become integral to decision-making, leaders must go beyond mere compliance checkboxes and take an active role in shaping AI ethics. The future depends on leadership combining technology with the requisite guardrails, allowing India to pioneer a path to innovation, growth, and responsible adoption of AI.

Dark patterns alert: CCPA tells e-commerce platforms to self-audit for deceptive design practices; violators already under scanner
In a move to bolster digital consumer protection, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has directed all e-commerce platforms to conduct self-audits within three months to identify and eliminate 'dark patterns' — manipulative interface designs that mislead users into unintended actions. Issuing an advisory on Saturday, the Consumer Affairs Ministry said platforms must evaluate their digital interfaces for any features that could undermine consumer choice or amount to unfair trade practices. 'All e-commerce platforms have been advised to conduct self-audits… and take necessary steps to ensure that their platforms are free from such dark patterns,' the ministry said, as quoted PTI. Dark patterns include practices such as false urgency messages, hidden costs, forced subscription sign-ups, and disguised advertisements. In 2023, the government notified guidelines identifying 13 such deceptive tactics, including basket sneaking, confirm shaming, drip pricing, and interface interference. Platforms are also encouraged to submit self-declarations confirming that their services comply with these standards. The CCPA said such declarations would help build consumer trust and contribute to a more transparent digital marketplace. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubre cómo Amazon CFD puede ayudarte a invertir como un pro Empezar ahora Subscríbete Undo While the regulator did not name specific violators, it confirmed that notices have already been issued to platforms found breaching the anti-dark-pattern norms.

The group will monitor violations and recommend awareness initiatives aimed at curbing the spread of dark patterns in India's fast-growing e-commerce space.

FPIs sold equities worth ₹8749 crore this week, however sharp turnaround seen after RBI rate cut
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 7 (ANI): Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) began the first week of June on a weak note in the Indian stock market, with net investments staying in the negative territory. According to data released by NSDL, FPIs pulled out a total of ₹ 8,749 crore from Indian equities during the week from June 2 to June 6. This indicates that foreign investors were net sellers in the market during most of the week. The withdrawal came amid global uncertainties and cautious investor sentiment. However, a sharp turnaround was seen on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announced a surprise rate cut of 50 basis points. The repo rate was reduced to 5.5 per cent, which gave a strong push to investor confidence. Market experts believe that this aggressive rate cut will boost India's economic momentum and improve overall demand conditions. With inflation staying within the RBI's comfort zone and the central bank indicating a pro-growth stance, FPIs are expected to increase their investments in the coming months. Ajay Bagga Banking and Market expert told ANI "June first week saw roller coaster in terms of FPI flows. The trend is positive as a weak US dollar is inversely correlated to EM flows. With Indian macro showing strength and expectations of the 100 bps rate cuts providing a further boost to economic momentum and aggregate demand, FPIs will rank India as a top investment destination. Valuations are quoted as a constraint but we see the growth potential overriding these concerns eventually". Although high stock market valuations remain a concern, experts say that India's strong growth prospects may help overcome this challenge. The net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows in May remained in positive and stood at ₹ 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment. In previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth ₹ 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth ₹ 78,027 crore and ₹ 34,574 crore, respectively.

Stock market weekly wrap: Sensex, Nifty 50 end higher for third week. What to expect from Indian stock market next week?
Indian stock market: Indian indices - Sensex and Nifty 50 - ended the week on a higher note for third week straight on RBI's policy announcement, which took the market by surprise. After remaining range-bound for most of the week, benchmark indices surged sharply on Friday and settled near the week's high, with the Nifty closing at 25,003 and the Sensex at 82,118.99. The sectoral performance was generally favorable, with rate-sensitive sectors experiencing robust buying activity. The rally was led by realty, automobile, and banking stocks, driven by optimistic expectations for credit growth and consumer confidence. Financials and NBFCs also saw gains, supported by the anticipation that lower interest rates will improve borrowing conditions. On the other hand, IT stocks lagged behind due to ongoing global uncertainties, especially in the U.S. and European markets. Moving ahead, market participants will concentrate on important macroeconomic data for additional insights. Key high-frequency indicators like CPI inflation will be carefully observed to assess demand patterns and anticipate the central bank's future actions. Furthermore, the status of the monsoon and sowing activities will be tracked because of their impact on rural consumption. Globally, progress in trade talks and fluctuations in U.S. bond yields will remain significant factors shaping investor sentiment. According to Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, Nifty has once again approached the upper band of its prevailing consolidation range of 24,500–25,100. ' A decisive breakout above 25,200 would mark the beginning of a fresh uptrend, with potential to gradually move toward the 25,600–25,800 zone. On the downside, the 24,400–24,600 range is expected to act as a strong support zone during any corrective phase,' Mishra said. Meanwhile, speaking on Bank Nifty outlook, Mishra said, ' The banking index has finally broken above the key 56,000 mark after trading in a tight range for over a month. We now expect it to move toward the 58,000 level, making this segment crucial for broader market direction. In case of a dip, the 55,350–56,000 range is likely to provide strong support.' Market analysts maintain a positive outlook on the markets fueled by RBI's rate cut. 'With the RBI's rate cut and dovish commentary acting as strong tailwinds, we maintain our positive outlook on the markets and suggest continuing with a 'buy on dips' strategy unless the Nifty decisively breaks below 24,600. However, investors should remain selective and focus on fundamentally strong stocks in sectors such as banking, auto, and real estate, which are poised to benefit from lower interest rates. Other sectors may contribute on a rotational basis,' Mishra said. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.
