India stands at a pivotal moment in its journey toward becoming a developed nation (Viksit Bharat) by 2047. Achieving this ambitious vision demands more than two decades of sustained, accelerated growth—it requires an exponential transformation. We must fundamentally rethink and reimagine every facet of our society and economy.

In any other era, such a transformation might have seemed impossible. But today, in the era of Frontier Technologies, it is within our reach. We now have technologies powerful enough to drive this transformation—and they are advancing at an unprecedented pace. However, to unlock their full potential for India, we must proactively embrace emerging technologies before they become mainstream. Strategic investments in research, innovation, and global partnerships will be key to positioning India at the forefront of technological advancements.

NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub: A Catalyst for Transformation

The NITI Frontier Tech Hub (NITI-FTH) has been established as a Frontier Tech Action Tank to accelerate India’s transition into a Frontier Tech Nation. Its key objectives are:

• Enabling India’s Readiness to advance Frontier Tech Innovation and Use for Accelerated Economic and Societal Development towards Viksit Bharat.
• Championing India’s Human-Centric Approach worldwide by advancing development and adoption of emerging technologies that benefit humanity and the environment.

As part of its charter, the Hub will engage with experts across Industry, Academia and Government to create a deeper understanding of the tech trends early and their implications on India.  It will also come out with action plans and recommendations to drive India’s readiness.

Today, NITI FTH in partnership with Data Security Council of India released a strategic paper on the rapid evolution of Quantum Computing, its implications on National Security and what is needed for India to get ahead of the curve to shape its trajectory.

The paper’s insights will serve as a foundation for India’s strategic preparedness and policy formulation in the evolving quantum landscape.
