A
Institutional Legacy
From the Princely States and Partition through the Licence Raj — the institutional roots of how India regulates technology today.
Released April 2026 · Now Available on Amazon
The case for India's path to sovereign IP.
Tech, Law & Trust argues that real sovereignty in the algorithmic age requires India to move from scaling "apps" (delivery) to creating "atoms" — the hardware, the IP, and the institutions that turn capability into leverage.

Policy & Capital
How procurement, capital flows, and regulatory design close the capability gap — or widen it.
Strategic Leverage

Execution Framework

03
Inside the Book
The 5-part argument

B
Technological Frontiers
Semiconductors, AI and the copyright wars, and the quantum computing leap — the three frontiers on which sovereignty will be decided.
C
A Sovereignty Roadmap
Regulatory sandboxes, procurement strategy, sovereign tech funds — the policy instruments that build capability instead of pricing it out.
D
The Execution Imperative
A working blueprint for a Strategic Technology Projects Authority — the institution India does not yet have, and cannot afford to skip.

Voices from the Launch
What was said at IIC, New Delhi
From the keynote, the closing remarks, and the fireside chat — on stage, on the record, on 17 April 2026.
"The book serves as a valuable primer on India's path towards intellectual property sovereignty. It expands understanding, builds a shared technical vocabulary, and enables more informed engagement across law, policy, and technology."
"There are people rooted in scholarship. There are people who understand technology because they love it. There are people who understand the policy ramifications. Tamali brings all of them together."
"AI is not something you can just squeeze into existing legal mechanisms. We need a very devoted AI law."
