“As digital technologies mature, the Union Budget FY27 should focus on enabling enterprise-grade adoption of AI and blockchain. In areas such as fund administration, accounting, and cross-border financial operations, these technologies are already improving data integrity, automation, and decision-making. What is now required is sustained investment in digital infrastructure, advanced skilling, and frameworks that support scalable, real-world implementation. Aligning budgetary priorities with how enterprises actually deploy AI and blockchain will be key to translating innovation into long-term efficiency, transparency, and economic value. Digital currency based transaction processing framework and crypto currency policy have been in the works for some years now. Clear directions for these are the need of the hour if India needs to be on par with the rest of the world in the digital currency domain.” – Dr. Sujata Seshadrinathan is Co-Founder and Director, Digital Transformation, Basiz Fund Service Private Limited
