• Strong understanding of AI infrastructure, cloud computing, data sovereignty, cybersecurity, and emerging technology policy.
• Ability to engage confidently with senior bureaucrats, policymakers, institutional leaders, and technology executives.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong commercial accountability and the ability to work directly with founders.Candidates with prior leadership experience in government-facing technology businesses, AI/cloud infrastructure companies, digital public infrastructure initiatives, or major public-sector consulting practices will be strongly preferred.

What Makes This Role Different?This position combines three important mandates:

Policy Alignment: Ensure DiCompute.ai's technology and commercial direction supports India's strategic AI priorities.

Institutional Access: Build meaningful engagement with the country's most important AI and digital infrastructure decision-makers.
