What changes when it is government & public sector

The evidence pack is the deliverable auditors actually want: what the system does, what data trained it, who oversees it, and what happens when it fails.

In government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. That single fact reshapes how ai governance & compliance has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is case file processing, usually integrated against departmental portals. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Can AI systems be procured under GeM?

Yes, and we structure deliverables to fit standard procurement categories and evaluation criteria.

Does it work in regional languages?

It has to. Public services in India are multilingual by obligation, and we build for that rather than adding translation later.

Does the DPDP Act apply to our AI systems?

If you process personal data of individuals in India, yes, including training data and prompts. Consent, purpose limitation and data-principal rights all apply, and prompt logs are frequently the overlooked exposure.

Do we need ISO 42001?

Not always, but it is becoming a procurement expectation in enterprise and public-sector deals. It is worth pursuing when your buyers ask for it.

Can you work with our existing GRC function?

Yes. We map AI-specific controls onto the framework you already run rather than introducing a parallel one.
