Overview
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transitioning from a technology investment to a governance and compliance imperative. Organisations deploying AI in automated decision-making — credit scoring, hiring, healthcare diagnostics, fraud detection, content moderation, or customer service — face increasing scrutiny from regulators, courts, shareholders, and the public on the fairness, transparency, and accountability of those systems. The EU AI Act, which came into force in 2024, carries extraterritorial reach impacting any organisation placing AI systems in the EU market or affecting EU residents — including Indian technology exporters, global capability centres, and multinationals with EU operations. Meanwhile, India's own AI regulatory framework is actively evolving through MeitY consultations, SEBI algorithmic trading rules, RBI model risk guidelines, and India's participation in G20 AI governance commitments.
Our AI & Emerging Technology Governance practice helps organisations build the legal, governance, and accountability infrastructure needed to deploy AI and emerging technologies responsibly — across design, procurement, deployment, and ongoing operation. We advise technology companies, financial institutions, healthcare organisations, and enterprises across sectors on AI risk management frameworks, responsible AI policies, EU AI Act compliance programmes, and the legal dimensions of automated decision-making systems — providing practical governance solutions alongside rigorous regulatory analysis.
Our Services
Advisory across the full AI governance and emerging technology lifecycle.
Regulatory Landscape
Global and Indian regulatory frameworks shaping AI governance obligations.
EU AI Act 2024
World's first comprehensive AI regulation — risk-based classification of AI systems (minimal, limited, high-risk, and prohibited) with extraterritorial reach affecting Indian technology exporters, GCCs, and multinational enterprises deploying AI systems that impact EU residents.
India AI Policy & MeitY Framework
India's evolving National AI Strategy and MeitY's responsible AI guidelines — including IndiaAI Mission, advisory notes on generative AI, and emerging sector-specific AI guidelines from RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI for algorithmic trading, credit scoring, and insurance underwriting.
DPDP Act & AI Processing
Obligations under the DPDP Act when processing personal data through AI systems — consent requirements for automated processing, data minimisation obligations, purpose limitation, and data principal rights including the right to information about automated decisions affecting them.
OECD AI Principles & G20 AI
OECD AI Principles (transparency, accountability, robustness, safety, and fairness) adopted by G20 and endorsed by India — providing the international governance benchmark against which AI system design, deployment, and oversight are increasingly assessed by regulators and institutional investors.
How We Work
A structured approach to building future-ready AI governance.
AI Landscape & Regulatory Risk Assessment
We map your AI deployments and technology stack against applicable regulatory obligations — EU AI Act risk classification, DPDP Act data processing requirements, sectoral algorithmic guidelines, and international AI governance standards — identifying compliance gaps and legal risk exposure across your AI portfolio.
Governance Framework & Policy Design
We design and implement your AI governance framework — responsible AI policy, algorithmic accountability procedures, model risk management protocols, human oversight mechanisms, AI incident response plans, and board-level AI governance reporting — calibrated to your regulatory environment and risk profile.
Ongoing Monitoring & Regulatory Engagement
We provide continuing advisory as India's and global AI regulatory frameworks develop — tracking MeitY guidance, sectoral AI circulars, EU AI Act implementing acts, and international developments — with periodic governance reviews, regulatory interaction support, and horizon scanning for your AI leadership and board.
