WITP Functions
Training and strategic projects to identify and bridge policymaking gaps
New and emerging technologies, like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, 3D Printing etc., can play a transformative role in peoples’ lives. Governments that learn to effectively harness such technologies can effect a dramatic improvement in the delivery of public services, strengthening governance, and making better-informed decisions. Also, citizens can be empowered to provide real-time feedback on service delivery gaps.
Training Academy
Government Institutions, ministries and bureaucracy/policymakers can learn with experts about different emerging technologies, data analytics and data-driven decision making and their applications in government operations and measurement of policy impact through Hybrid Learning Courses characterised by:
- Exposure to application-based use cases from contextual domains
- Identification of POCs for a potential emerging technology project
- Learning from multiple experts
The delivery of the Hybrid Learning Courses is through:
Classroom-based Courses
- Real-time ‘in-person’ and ‘live online’ sessions with faculty
- Interaction and real-time practice and demo with faculty
- Impromptu scenarios and clarifications by faculty in classroom
Self-paced Online Courses
- Consuming the course at one’s own convenience
- Allows for multiple attempts to enhance learning clarity and experience
- Access to the course material at the fingertips
- Interaction and clarifications with faculty and peers in discussion forums
- Identifying POCs for a potential emerging technology project

Strategic Projects
WITP uses the knowledge and insights gained on emerging technologies to run Proof of Concept (PoC) or Pilot for govt. institutions and bodies.
WITP is currently working with two Central Government ministries. These project objectives are:
Technology & Policy
WITP aims to improve the delivery of the public services, drafting policies and measurement of the impact of the policies. The objective is to influence policies that will improve public service delivery through the implementation and application of key emerging technologies.
One of the key pillars of WITP is the tech-centric policy review and governance that reviews, researches, assesses, and generates papers on the technology policy of the Government of India. The team analyses policy issues of various ministries related to technology or which have a technology component to identify policy gaps and suggest measures to bridge these gaps.
Research topics range from:
- Data security
- Data storage and sharing
- Adoption of new age technology by governments
- AI/ML/Blockchain/3-D Printing etc
- Democratization of technology and data
- Data Strategy, etc.
