Industry Body IndiaTech convened a closed-door roundtable in New Delhi on Tuesday to discuss strategies for securing India’s critical information infrastructure, as concerns grow over the rising frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks on essential sectors.

The discussion, titled “Securing India’s Critical Information Infrastructure,” brought together senior representatives from government, industry, and policy. The forum examined how India could strengthen resilience across sectors such as power, telecommunications, banking, healthcare, and defence, all of which have become key targets of malicious cyber activity.

Roundtable on Securing India’s Critical Information Infrastructure

Deliberations focused on five priority areas: building a stronger national cybersecurity ecosystem, securing digital supply chains, improving collaboration to protect critical services, enhancing regulatory frameworks, and rethinking procurement practices to emphasize trust alongside cost. Participants also noted the risks of relying heavily on adversary nations for digital infrastructure, particularly with the rapid expansion of IoT-enabled and machine-to-machine communication technologies.

The roundtable concluded with the adoption of the “Delhi Declaration on Secure and Trusted Digital Infrastructure.” The declaration committed participants to strengthening transparency and resilience in supply chains, promoting technological self-reliance and advancing cooperation between public and private stakeholders.

Rameesh Kailasam, CEO of Industry Body IndiaTech.org said the forum reflected “a shared recognition of the urgent need to safeguard India’s digital backbone” and emphasized that the discussions mark a step toward building a trusted and future-ready digital economy.

Mr. Arun Goyal, formerly at Central Electricity Regulatory Commission remarked, “Anything that impacts critical infrastructure will have its effect on other sectors as well.”

This sentiment was echoed by other participants from the industry in the room. Mr. Manish Tiwari from Fractal AI highlighted the importance of cybersecurity today and mentioned, “It should be mandatory for every organization to have a Chief Security Officer (CSO), a competent professional to safeguard critical information.”

Emphasizing the need for consistency and uniformity, Dr. Pawan Duggal, Cyberlaw expert at the Supreme Court of India said, “India need harmonization between all government agencies when it comes to cybersecurity because currently so many great ideas exist in silos.”

While held behind closed doors, the session signaled growing consensus among key stakeholders that cybersecurity is not only a technical imperative but also central to India’s economic sovereignty and national security.

In a landmark achievement for the financial sector in India, Kerala State Financial Enterprises (KSFE), a Kerala government owned financial institution, became the countrys first Miscellaneous Non-Banking Company (MNBC) to achieve 1 lakh crore business. The historic milestone was officially announced by the Honorable Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, at a celebratory event held at Thiruvananthapuram.

Kerala Finance Minister K. N. Balagopal at the KSFE event, celebrating a monumental achievement: becoming the first PSU in India to reach Rs.1 lakh crore in business volume

Speaking at the ceremony, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan lauded KSFEs transformative journey and its pivotal role in the states development. “Kerala State Financial Enterprises serves as a vital financial alternative for the Creating a New Kerala concept. Its unique people-centric model, can serve as a global model for how a state-led financial institution can drive inclusive and sustainable growth,” he stated.

The achievement underscores KSFEs financial robustness, operational excellence, and unwavering commitment to its customers.

The differentiated MNBC status in view of the RBI guidelines, places KSFE in a unique category, allowing it to offer a wider and more diverse range of financial services under a robust regulatory framework. The MNBC classification has been empowering KSFE to enhance its operational flexibility, innovate new financial products, and further its mission of providing accessible credit and investment opportunities to all sections of society, thereby contributing significantly to the states economic prosperity.

“A grassroots financial institution that understands the pulse of the people can stand with them in their holistic growth,” the Chief Minister stated. He has highlighted that KSFEs journey, which began with just 10 branches and a capital of Rs. 2 lakh, has now grown to 683 branches and a business volume of Rs. 1 lakh crore, a testament to its popular support.

In 2016, KSFE’s business stood at Rs. 30,000 crore. This has now tripled. It is a significant achievement that a public sector company is the first MNBC in the country to reach this milestone.

KSFE has become an integral part of daily life in Kerala, a place people can turn to for any financial need. The Chief Minister recalled that it was the E.M.S. Namboodiripad government that introduced a public alternative to the private chit system. KSFEs growth has followed that same vision. The company’s operating profit has also more than doubled from Rs. 236 crore in 2016 to over Rs. 500 crore today.

Since 2016, extensive efforts have been made to make KSFE more accessible to the public, with initiatives like the Pravasi Chitty (Chit fund for non-resident Keralites) contributing significantly to its growth. This increased credibility, embraced by the public and customers, has fueled spectacular growth. While many financial institutions worldwide were in crisis during the global financial slowdown, India’s demonetisation, and the COVID-19 pandemic, KSFE provided a resilient model for the country. KSFE stands as a strong alternative where many financial institutions have failed due to policy flaws.

Finance Minister K. N. Balagopal, who presided over the event, stated that KSFEs achievement is the result of the hard work of multiple generations. He has noted that KSFE is a constant source of support for both common people and businesses, and consistently provides dividends to the government. With a new vision, the company is now looking to the future.

The total financial transactions handled by Keralas government financial institutions are equivalent to the states budget, with KSFE contributing a lions share. This highlights the publics trust in public sector institutions, the Minister added.

The Finance Minister launched KSFE’s new initiatives: “Mission One Crore,” which aims to reach one crore customer base. The company currently has 59.52 lakh customers. On achieving this, KSFE will become the first MNBC with the largest consumer base in the country. The “Fraternity Fund,” a new age chit scheme aimed at the youth and new-age professionals.

KSFE Chairman K. Varadarajan said that credibility, transparency, and government assurance are the core strengths of KSFE. He expressed pride that the business volume has doubled from Rs. 50,000 crore to Rs. 1 lakh crore since he took charge in 2021.

KSFE Managing Director Dr. S. K. Sanil attributed the companys success to innovative goals, complete modernisation, appropriate techniques, and flawless technology. He noted that KSFE has created a service model that truly reflects the public mindset of Kerala, and KSFE posted a profit of Rs. 512 crore in the 2024-25 fiscal year, confirming its status as a consistently profitable public sector enterprise.

With its impressive business surge and market leadership, KSFEs journey shows the critical role that MNBCs will play in India’s money circulation. This trend will have significant and lasting effects on how these institutions contribute to the countrys economic rise.

Debt has become a growing challenge in India, affecting families, small businesses, and large companies alike. Many are struggling with long repayment cycles and mounting pressure, which often disrupts stability and peace of mind. It is in this backdrop that Legals365, India’s leading debt resolution and borrower protection firm, has emerged as the strongest safeguard borrowers could hope for.

Legals365 Shields Borrowers Amid Indias Debt Crisis, 3,000 Protected and Rs. 900 Crore Resolved

Under the leadership of Advocate B.K. Singh, the Legals365 has grown into far more than a legal service provider. It is a nationwide movement that combines strategic brilliance with human empathy, ensuring that borrowers are not only legally protected but treated with the dignity they deserve.

“At Legals365, we believe no borrower should ever feel alone in front of a financial giant. Each settlement we secure is proof that persistence, empathy, and the right legal strategy can dismantle even the toughest debt battles,” said Advocate B.K. Singh, Founder of Legals365.

What sets Legals365 apart is its ability to dismantle the asymmetry on which financial institutions thrive. Banks often depend on dense documentation, intimidation, and legal complexities to overpower borrowers. But when Legals365 intervenes, the balance shifts decisively. Recovery agents retreat the moment a notice is issued, court threats collapse when RBI directives and borrower protections are invoked, and lender negotiations are carried out with persistence that banks cannot ignore.

The firm’s record reflects its stature. More than 3,000 clients, ranging from daily wage earners to established corporates, have been safeguarded. Over Rs. 900 crore in liabilities have been dismantled, reduced, or lawfully extinguished. From tier-1 cities to tier-2 towns, its presence is felt nationwide, with countless MSMEs and enterprises revived from the verge of collapse. Beyond the statistics lies the deeper reality of stability restored and peace reclaimed by those who once stood at the edge of financial ruin.

Borrowers trust Legals365 because its expertise spans every aspect of debt resolution. From cheque bounce defence under the NI Act, to shielding directors from liability, to contesting unfair ECS prosecutions under Section 25, the firm’s lawyers deliver results. In Debt Recovery Tribunals, where banks push for fast-track recoveries, Legals365 flips the pressure with technical precision. When homes and assets are threatened under the SARFAESI Act, the firm stands firm against unlawful seizures.

From debt counselling and structured negotiations to decisive interventions that end harassment calls, Legals365 delivers tangible relief. Whether representing corporates in NCLT and DRT proceedings or protecting individuals from criminalization, every service is rooted in strategy, speed, and empathy.

As India’s debt burden tightens its grip, hesitation can be perilous. Every moment of delay strengthens the banks’ position while narrowing borrowers’ options. The time to act is now. Legals365 stands ready to ensure that no family, entrepreneur, or corporate entity faces the weight of financial distress alone.

In a positive signal for the electric vehicle revolution, India’s public EV charging network has grown nearly fivefold since 2022. A lot of that growth is in its largest cities, where charging hubs are starting to become part of the urban landscape. While electric four-wheeler adoption remains in the single digits, the conditions in dense metro areas are shifting.

India’s major cities are emerging as key hubs for EV adoption, with growing infrastructure and policies drawing global automakers such as VinFast

Policy support, shorter daily travel distances, and a young consumer base are creating an environment where demand could build quickly. Brands in Indian, both old and new, including the Vietnamese EV upstart VinFast, are gearing up to fully take advantage of this momentum.

Cities at the Center of EV Readiness
In the race for EV adoption, India’s cities play a leading role due to their unique characteristics.

In 2024, 37 percent of India’s people lived in cities- and this share is expected to rise- concentrating significant income, infrastructure, and vehicle demand, as well as higher levels of traffic pollution that must be addressed. At the same time, most urban commuters travel less than 35 kilometers a day, a distance that is well within the range of most EVs already on the market.

Local policies are starting to lock in long-term support. Delhi’s EV plan requires that one in five parking spaces in new residential buildings be equipped for a charger. That kind of mandate makes EVs more appealing to both early adopters and mass consumers, helping them see the vehicles as practical rather than merely aspirational.

Charging growth has been rapid. By April 2025, India had 26,367 public charging points, compared with about 5,000 in 2022. Many are installed in shopping malls, office complexes, and along highways, giving drivers options for both daily charging and longer trips.

A Policy Push Toward Electric
National regulators are working to improve the economics of owning an EV. One proposed change would exempt them from the 15-year “End of Life” rule, which currently forces older vehicles off the road. Extending an EV’s legal usable life could boost its resale value and make financing easier.

State governments add their own incentives. Delhi is proposing to once again remove road tax and registration fees for EVs. Maharashtra offers early purchase subsidies of up to ₹2 lakh for electric cars. Tamil Nadu provides capital subsidies to EV manufacturers to attract new factories. Financing reforms are also on the table. The government has reportedly met with banks to address their reluctance to finance EVs and their concerns over high interest rates, addressing a common hurdle for buyers.

Policy focus is not spread evenly. Initiatives from NITI Aayog and various states concentrate on cities and sectors most ready for adoption, such as fleet operators and corporate users. The aim is to build momentum where infrastructure and consumer interest already align.

A New Player Positions Itself
To ensure a seamless ownership experience, VinFast has signed agreements with multiple dealer partners to set up 32 dealerships across 27 cities, forming a robust 3S (Sales, Service, Spares) ecosystem, with a total of 35 expected by year’s end. The initial network will cover key urban and emerging EV markets, including Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune.

This urban push is part of VinFast’s broader strategy to build a full EV ecosystem in India-combining a nationwide dealership network, integrated after-sales and service centers, and battery recycling partnerships. The company has joined forces with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure to create a nationwide charging and service network with real-time charging access, AI-driven diagnostics, and integrated digital platforms.

Just early August, the Vietnamese automaker also opened its first overseas EV assembly plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. Built on a 400-acre industrial site, the plant represents a USD 500 million commitment in its initial phase. Annual capacity is set at 50,000 vehicles, with the possibility to scale to 150,000. The first models built will be the premium VF 6 and VF 7 SUVs.

Construction took nearly half a year, faster than the company’s first plant in Vietnam. The facility currently assembles vehicles from imported components but will expand into local parts production. Plans include a supplier park and eventually full manufacturing on site.

The plant is expected to create 3,000 to 3,500 jobs, most filled by workers from nearby districts. Tamil Nadu’s port and airport access, combined with its skilled labor pool, were key factors in the site selection. VinFast also intends to use the factory as an export hub for South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with orders already coming in from Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Mauritius.

India’s EV market is still in its early stages, but its largest cities are laying the groundwork for faster adoption. Automakers willing to invest now, build locally, and align with policy priorities could see the payoff in the years ahead. VinFast is placing its bet that it will be one of them.

In March this year, the Delhi International Airport introduced the Unified Total Airside Management (UTAM) system, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) – enabled platform designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of aviation operations. It helps in uniting airlines, ground handlers, and airport authorities on a collaborative platform, allowing them to monitor air fleet movements, ground service equipment, and vehicle activities in a more precise manner.

Jaideep Mirchandani, Group Chairman, Sky One

Even as AI continues to gain widespread acceptance in aviation systems worldwide, the industry is also rapidly progressing towards agentic AI. While traditional AI tools mainly offer recommendations based on historical data and signals, agentic AI takes a more proactive role by not only making decisions but also executing them and monitoring outcomes in real time.

Airports like Singapores Changi Airport are exemplifying this shift, and exploring agentic AI to boost operational efficiency, improve customer experience, and reduce the need for human intervention. In India, the first AI-powered airport digital twin was recently launched at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad. It includes features like intelligent crowd management, flow and queue analytics, real-time operational insights, and optimised backend operations such as smart traffic monitoring.

“The adoption of agentic AI has helped in achieving new standards of customer experience, operational efficiency and making airlines more competitive. Those who adopt them faster will have a competitive edge. Most of these agents are designed to adapt to dynamic scenarios, can respond to passenger feedback and market fluctuations, which helps in revenue optimisation for the carrier while ensuring enhanced experience for the passenger,” says Jaideep Mirchandani, Group Chairman of Sky One.

With the ability to monitor live feeds from terminals, baggage scanners, and access points, agentic tools can detect unusual patterns and anomalies before incidents escalate. “These tools are capable of reading human behaviours by tracking signs such as excessive nervousness and erratic motion, providing an added intelligence layer and flagging potential threats that traditional security systems may overlook. AI agents predict passenger flows, queue congestion, and screening volume, allocating security personnel, adjusting checkpoint openings, and reallocating staff in real time for smoother operations,” adds Mr. Mirchandani.

The AI vision agents can monitor CCTV, detect threats, and alert security teams. They will also support predictive maintenance of aircraft, contributing to safety. However, even as AI agents gain wide acceptance, human supervision remains essential.

“Even if every segment is fully automated, we cannot ignore the necessity of human touch. An AI agent cannot replace human perceptiveness, especially in areas requiring critical decision-making. Both AI agents and human resources, however, will co-exist, complementing each other. While AI tools can assist in various ways, the final resolution may come from humans, offering decisive input and support,” concludes Mr. Mirchandani.
