Did you know that the Government of UP in their IT Policy has a 10-lakh Indian Rupee Grant provision for patents? Many don't know this still.



The Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law and Orangewood hosted a fantastic meetup at the Orangewood Labs' Noida office quite recently as on February 21, 2026.


This was a quite special meetup.



We had hosted a good peer-group of awesome people from law, policy and tech backgrounds including Ameet Datta, Nikhil Mehra, Deepanshu Singh from ISAIL Advisory Council, Prathik Karthikeyan from LITT, Ranjan Singhania from DreamLegal®, Rajdeep Srivastava and others.



We also hosted Central Delhi meetups on Feb 18-19, 2026 with Saanjh Shekhar, Prathik, Deepanshu, Swastik Grover and others.


It was a quite happy gathering, must admit. 


So many honest conversations happened on why India stays behind in the AI industry aspect of things, why industry associations remain laggard in promoting monotonous AI business narratives, and what can be done in the case of state governments around AI policy.

Watch this space as things evolve.


We also announce the launch of an ISAIL Legal Tech podcast segment, ft. Prathik Karthikeyan, Ranjan Singhania, Rupal Mathur, Ayush Chandra, Aditya Jakki and Abhivardhan. More partners will join as it goes ahead.


We will announce it properly in a few days.

The Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law (ISAIL.IN) is an artificial intelligence industry forum, founded by Abhivardhan in 2018. Our mission as an independent, not-for-profit industry forum for the analytics & AI industry in India is to promote responsible development of artificial intelligence and its standardisation in India.

Enforcing AI standards in the Indian and Indo-Pacific markets is hard. And yet, ISAIL.IN intends to document data and inputs associated with the market tendencies around three facets of artificial intelligence: its adoption, research around it, and its real-life policy implications across as many sectors as possible.


This is why, OpenBharat.net, administered by ISAIL.IN, intends to establish an allies of AI entities in India, Asia and the Global South, to develop market-friendly AI standards, with sector-specific, and sector-neutral contexts.
