In a recent address at the AI Impact Summit 2026, Roshni Nadar Malhotra, chairperson of HCL Technologies, emphasized India’s need to transition to an IP-driven technology sector. She advocates moving from a scale-driven growth model to one focused on artificial intelligence and intellectual property.
According to Malhotra, the future of technology will belong to those who innovate and own platforms, models, and products rather than merely deploying them. She called for strategic national shifts that prioritize IP creation and build a comprehensive AI infrastructure to democratize innovation and computing power.
Malhotra highlighted HCL’s pivot from a people-centric delivery model towards an integrated system involving software, intelligent agents, and human expertise. This shift aligns with India’s broader ambition of becoming an IP-led nation, emphasizing responsible AI governance to ensure sustainable growth.
