All Bharat Artificial Intelligence Association

India’s AI ecosystem, assembled.

ABAIA is a national, non-profit association where India’s AI founders, professionals, enterprises and investors work as one ecosystem — and an industry voice in how the country’s AI policy gets made.

Scattered points assembling into a connected lattice A field of loose dots on the left drifts toward the right, where dots are joined by lines into a grid — ABAIA's argument that a convened ecosystem becomes a structure.

What ABAIA is for

Four pillars, one ecosystem

The association was founded on four commitments. Everything it runs — sessions, connects, the angel network, its research initiative — serves one of them.

01

Public understanding

Webinars, events and workshops that make AI legible — to the people building with it and the public living with it.

02

Collaboration

A working network of AI startups and professionals who share problems, introductions and what actually worked.

03

Enterprise adoption

Concrete use cases for AI tools inside enterprise workflows — connecting the companies that need them to the builders who make them.

04

Startup funding

Backing promising AI startups with capital from an angel network of operators, and with strategic partners who become customers.

IIDA: research, run like a product

ABAIA’s deepest bet is IIDA — the Innovators & Industry Deeptech AI Alliance, a Focused Research Organization turning deeptech and applied AI research into IP, products and exports, built for India’s SMEs and global markets.

It runs in the open: five research tracks, a public scoreboard where zeros are dated rather than hidden, and a member register shared with this association.

Who is in the room

One register, two windows

ABAIA and IIDA share a single member register — 15 members, each entry published exactly as the member chose to publish it. The same people appear on both sites because they are the same people.
