Building AI goes beyond writing code or integrating APIs. It means working through the challenges of data preparation, model training, evaluation and deployment.

Sovereign AI does not mean building every layer of the AI stack domestically. It means knowing where sovereignty matters most and ensuring those critical control points remain under the right level of ownership, governance and access.

McKinsey’s latest analysis describes this as “minimum sufficient sovereignty”, a more targeted approach where workloads are assessed based on regulatory importance and exposure to third parties. For India, this distinction matters.
