The Sovereign AI Playbook for India’s Energy Sector

India’s energy sector is undergoing one of its most defining transitions — and AI is now at the heart of it. In this Mint Techcetra episode, host Nelson John speaks with Manish Malik, Executive Director (Information Systems) at Indian Oil Corporation Limited, and Rishi Aurora, Managing Partner, IBM Consulting India & South Asia, to decode what digital sovereignty really means for the sector that fuels the nation at scale. They explore how sovereign AI, hybrid cloud, and secure digital infrastructure are reshaping operations across refineries, pipelines, and critical energy systems, while giving enterprises greater control over data, technology, and mission‑critical workflows. The conversation also highlights the growing significance of strong industry partnerships in enabling secure, compliant, and future‑ready transformation across the energy value chain. From real examples inside IOCL to a clear, actionable blueprint for energy leaders, this episode dives into how India can build an energy ecosystem that is smarter, safer, and truly self‑reliant — and why this shift matters now more than ever.
