May 4: Innefu Labs announced its empanelment with the National e-Governance Division under the Government of India’s flagship Digital India programme. It is an AI-driven company providing advanced Data Analytics and Information Security solutions to National Security agencies. Only six agencies, including Innefu Labs, out of over 80 applicants have been shortlisted for this remarkable accomplishment. It is a significant step forward for the company’s mission to drive large-scale AI innovation for governance.
The approach of the National e-Governance Division is to utilise Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning across ministries and departments as a part of its vision to strengthen digital governance. This initiative creates a specialised network of approved partners. These partners provide skilled AI/ML experts to help implement solutions in areas like natural language processing, computer vision, predictive analytics, and generative AI. This project aims to set national standards for how the government uses AI. This effort will speed up AI adoption and make government projects more efficient and scalable by making resource sharing transparent, while using consistent, proven methods.
As an empanelled partner, Innefu Labs will contribute to building a future-ready AI enablement framework aligned with national priorities. The company will support government entities with highly skilled AI/ML professionals, including AI architects, data scientists, ML engineers, and MLOps specialists, enabling faster deployment of AI-driven solutions across critical domains.
“Being empanelled by NeGD is not just a business milestone, it’s a recognition of fifteen years of work building AI systems that operate in some of the most demanding and sensitive environments in the country,” commented Tarun Wig, Co-founder and CEO, Innefu Labs. “We have built intelligence fusion platforms for national security agencies, predictive analytics systems for law enforcement, financial fraud detection tools for tax authorities, and much more. This empanelment tells us that the same rigour, the same commitment to security and accountability, and the same belief in sovereign indigenous AI capability is exactly what India’s governance systems need as they scale their AI adoption. We are honoured to contribute to that mission.”
Founded in 2010, Innefu Labs has built a track record of deploying AI at scale across some of India’s most critical institutions. Key deployments include the largest Intelligence Fusion Centre in Southeast Asia, the National Terrorism Data Fusion and Analysis Centre, OSINT and facial recognition platforms for various law enforcement agencies, predictive policing infrastructure for the Ahmedabad Safe City initiative, and advanced financial analytics tools for financial intelligence agencies.
The NeGD empanelment framework is designed to eliminate the friction of repeated, time-consuming procurement processes for government agencies seeking AI solutions. Central ministries, state governments, and PSUs can now access Innefu’s AI capabilities and manpower through a streamlined, pre-approved mechanism, either through NeGD facilitation or directly at the standardised rates discovered under this framework, accelerating deployment timelines while maintaining the security, compliance, and responsible AI standards that government systems demand.
