Two hours to delete unpalatable AI content. But how enforceable are short takedown deadlines?

In this episode of the Mint Techcetra podcast, our host Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talk about the two most significant developments shaping the future of technology and regulation in India.The conversation begins with a critical look at the IT Rules 2026, where new amendments have introduced the world's strictest content removal timelines. We discuss the practical challenges platforms face with the two hour takedown mandate for deepfakes and non-consensual imagery, and whether a seven day grievance redressal period is enough to ensure true accountability.We then shift focus to the upcoming India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. With global tech leaders like Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, and Satya Nadella in attendance, we explore India's strategic pivot toward Small Language Models (SLMs). Instead of chasing trillion-parameter foundational models, India is betting on indic languages, frugal innovation, and expanding its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to become a global hub for AI applications.
