The Gnani.ai executive also expressed gratitude to India’s Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar for his motivation.

“I am appreciative of the support extended by Hon Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar whose efforts have been critical in advancing the development of AI in India. His vision and guidance have paved the way for an ecosystem that nurtures innovation and entrepreneurship in the AI sector.”

In November last year, India became the vice chair of GPAI and has since been working with other partners to promote the responsible use of AI.

Twenty-nine member countries are part of the GPAI which also enjoys expertise from members of the academia, civil society, industry, and government, not leaving out international organizations like the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as well as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Gnani.ai is a burgeoning automated services and voice biometrics provider in India. Early last year, the company said it was looking for $100 million over a period of 12 months to expand its technology and market footprint.
