This compendium, India’s AI Impact Startups: A Compendium of 100+ Startups and Nonprofits Delivering Population-Scale Impact, was developed under the guidance of the IndiaAI Impact Summit leadership. 

The purpose of this publication is to document and showcase artificial intelligence deployments by startups delivering population-scale social and economic impact across India.

We are grateful to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) team and the IndiaAI team, especially Mr. Mohammed Y. Safirulla K, IAS, and Mr. Anshul Singhal, GM (Startups), MeitY, for their guidance in conceptualising this publication. Their inputs informed the thematic focus, sectoral coverage, and positioning of the compendium within India’s AI startup ecosystem.

This work has been made possible through the invaluable support of The Rockefeller Foundation and Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, whose commitment to advancing responsible AI for social impact has been instrumental in bringing this compendium to fruition.

We acknowledge the startups, nonprofits, founders, and practitioners featured in this compendium. Their work demonstrates the potential of AI to drive inclusive growth, strengthen public service delivery, and address complex societal challenges at scale. The diversity of use cases reflects the breadth of India’s AI ecosystem and its evolving role in advancing social and economic development
