Mr. Vipul Prakash, Founder and CEO of FireAI applauded the Government’s Intelligence-First vision in the Union Budget 2026. The specific allocation for Capacity Building AI Missions and the operationalization of the Anusandhan National Research Fund are landmark steps. They signal a shift from simply adopting technology to deepening our indigenous R&D capabilities.
For the Indian tech ecosystem, the commitment to emerging technologies as a driver of inclusive growth is encouraging. When combined with the ₹10,000 Crore SME Growth Fund, this Budget creates a powerful flywheel. The Research and Development and Innovation Fund will build the tech, and the Capacity Building Missions will ensure our workforce is ready to use it. At FireAI, we are ready to support this vision by helping these newly empowered businesses turn data into their strongest asset.”
