“As we celebrate National Technology Day, we honor India’s remarkable journey in science and technology and its growing leadership on the global innovation map. Today, technology is no longer confined to research labs; it is permeating every aspect of our lives, from defence and national security to smart farming and sustainable cities to precision healthcare and digital finance.

The space industry, particularly the downstream segment, is no exception. AI is now revolutionizing the way we process and analyze Earth observation data, making it faster, smarter, accurate and more efficient. Our platform, SPADE, is designed to harness this very potential, leveraging AI and deep learning to transform how satellite data is accessed, tasked, and analysed.

As we move ahead in our tech innovation journey, we plan to introduce advanced features, including the use of Agentic AI and LLMs to automate satellite data access and processing through natural language commands, transforming workflows and accelerating real-world impact, from national security to disaster response. With India’s downstream space sector projected to reach USD 610 billion by 2031, we believe homegrown AI-driven innovations will be key to addressing such critical challenges and reinforcing the nation's vision of technology-led inclusive growth."

On National Technology Day, we celebrate the power of innovation and the transformative potential of data in shaping India’s digital future. As Indian enterprises accelerate their AI journeys, the ability to use data intelligently is fast becoming a core differentiator. With the rise of AI, particularly Agentic AI, there is a growing need to ensure that data strategies are not just scalable, but also secure, governed, and future-ready.

Our recent study highlights this momentum, 84% of Indian organizations have implemented AI agents in the past two years, with 36% doing so in just the last 12 months. This upward trend is expected to continue, with 98% planning to expand usage and 78% targeting organization-wide deployment. In response, forward-looking businesses in India are adopting open data architectures to build resilient, insight-driven ecosystems. As technology continues to evolve, the synergy between data, cloud, and AI will play a defining role in enabling sustainable growth and global competitiveness for Indian businesses.

As we are basking in the success of generative AI technologies which are capable of synthesizing new content, be it fiction, images, drug designs or computer code, there is also a rising concern about the effects of these technologies on planet earth. A shift from power-hungry AI to more innovative greener technologies and smarter computational models for recognition and content generation is an immediate need.

While we wait for the more energy efficient quantum computers, there is also increased interest in understanding the human brain, one of the most energy-efficient, adaptive and parallel processing architectures. Neuromorphic computing that aims at mimicking the brain architecture, can well be the choice for tomorrow’s applications.
