About IFAI India
The International Federation for Artificial Intelligence (IFAI) is a global non-profit headquartered in the United States, working across continents to make Artificial Intelligence accessible, ethical, and impactful — especially for underrepresented and underserved communities.
The India Chapter of IFAI is a dynamic national movement aiming to transform India's AI landscape by aligning with government priorities, grassroots development needs, and global ethical standards in emerging technologies.
India is one of the world’s largest democracies and a rising technological superpower. However, the benefits of AI are still unevenly distributed. IFAI India works to close this gap — building an ecosystem where AI is used for the people, with the people, and by the people.
We are proud to collaborate with DTHR FORUM (Digital Transformation for Human Rights) — our official AI consultant and implementation partner — in creating scalable, socially responsible AI models across India.

? Our Mission: AI for Bharat
To bridge India’s digital, economic, and educational gaps using AI-driven tools, ensuring:
Equitable access to opportunities and government schemes
Empowerment of women, youth, migrants, and marginalised communities
Improved transparency and efficiency in governance and public services
Sustainable employment, entrepreneurship, and social innovation

? Our Vision: Responsible AI for a Resilient India
We envision an India where:
AI is used for rural transformation, not just urban growth
Students, workers, and women become AI creators, not just users
Migration and unemployment are tackled using data-driven insights
AI becomes the foundation for Digital Democracy and Social Justice

Artificial Intelligence is not just about machines—it is, at its core, about people. At IFAI India, our mission is to harness the transformative power of AI to address the real challenges that millions of Indians face every day—be it unemployment, internal migration, unequal access to education, or overburdened healthcare systems.

We are not here to replicate the high-tech models of the West. We are here to build India’s own model—one that is inclusive, sustainable, and deeply localised. We believe in AI that speaks every Indian language, understands every Indian village, and uplifts every community.

Through the strategic leadership of DTHR FORUM, our AI consultancy arm, and in close coordination with central and state governments, NGOs, academia, and industry, we are establishing:

AI Innovation Parks to drive research and entrepreneurship,

AI Seva Kendras to deliver AI-powered citizen services,

Digital Skill Hubs to equip youth and women with 21st-century AI skills.

This is not an elite technology initiative for a privileged few. This is India’s grassroots AI movement, built for the people and by the people.

We invite educators, innovators, policymakers, social workers, and entrepreneurs to join this national journey—where AI becomes a tool for dignity, equity, and opportunity.

Together, let us shape a future where every Indian, regardless of background or geography, benefits from the promise of Artificial Intelligence.

With commitment and hope,
Shameel Mubarack
Secretary General, IFAI Global I IFAI India Chapter

Message from Dr. Sad Amer Al Ajmi
President, International Federation for Artificial Intelligence (IFAI)
 On the Occasion of the Launch of IFAI India Chapter
It is with immense pride and purpose that I welcome you to the India Chapter of the International Federation for Artificial Intelligence (IFAI).
India, with its vast human capital, technological spirit, and deep-rooted commitment to inclusive growth, stands as a key partner in our mission to use Artificial Intelligence for global good. At IFAI, we firmly believe that AI should not be a privilege of a few but a transformative tool that reaches every village, classroom, clinic, and workspace—empowering the underserved and uplifting communities.
The IFAI India Chapter will work in close collaboration with policymakers, educational institutions, healthcare systems, and grassroots innovators to develop AI-powered solutions that address some of India’s most pressing challenges—such as demographic imbalance, skills mismatch, rural-urban divides, and job automation.
We are honored to have the DTHR FORUM as our official AI consultancy arm, providing strategic guidance and implementing intelligent, ethical, and scalable interventions across sectors. Our collaboration with the International Federation for Business (IFB) further enables us to link innovation with entrepreneurship and economic opportunity.
From AI Parks to AI Clinics, from inclusive employment to intelligent infrastructure, the IFAI India Chapter is poised to be a model for how AI can be responsibly deployed for national development and human advancement.
Let us work together to ensure that the AI revolution uplifts every citizen, leaving no one behind.
With hope and solidarity,
 Dr. Sad Amer Al Ajmi
