Welcome to Wadhwani AI Global

People-First AI: Turning Impact into Institution

AI has the power to transform how societies deliver health, education, and agriculture. But for it to truly work for people, it must be built on strong institutions, not just strong technology.

At Wadhwani AI Global, we partner with governments and global development leaders to make AI work for everyone, responsibly, equitably, and at scale.From strategy to delivery, we move public systems beyond pilots, building capacity, embedding innovation, and driving systemic change.

Our Purpose

We believe AI should serve the many, not the few.

Our mission is to turn innovation into institutions, embedding AI within governance and public systems to create sustainable, nation-scale impact. Working hand-in-hand with governments, development partners, and civil society, we ensure AI strengthens, not replaces public capacity.

Rooted in equity, accountability, and inclusion, our work helps countries across the Global South unlock resilience and opportunity shaping a future where AI becomes a public good.

Our Services

From Policy to Practice: Making AI Work for Public Systems

AI’s potential means little without context, governance, and trust. That’s why we help governments move from AI strategy to safe, inclusive, and scalable implementation.

Our services span the entire AI lifecycle from strategic design and product development to institutional capacity building and long-term governance. We help countries harness AI to advance their national priorities while embedding equity, accountability, and sustainability into every step.

                                  What does Wadhwani AI Global do?

                                  We work with governments and partners to turn artificial intelligence into solutions that improve healthcare, education, and agriculture. Our focus is on moving beyond pilots to building national programs that create lasting impact.

                                  We partner with governments, donors, multilaterals, and local organizations across the Global South. Together, we co-create solutions that are relevant, practical, and scalable.

                                  Unlike many technology providers, we focus on systemic adoption. That means combining advisory, delivery, and capacity building so solutions are embedded in national systems and sustain long after the pilot phase.

                                  We started in India and are now expanding across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our work is always rooted in local realities while drawing on global expertise.
