Pillar profile
Insight engine
India ranks #36 of 48 on the Cognitive Coefficient (36.7/100), with a trajectory classified as Maintaining relative to the frontier. Its strongest pillars are ai adoption, digital literacy; the binding constraints are data, ai access.
Risks
- Low cognitive resilience: heavy reliance on externally-controlled frontier infrastructure.
Opportunities
- Largest headroom in Data (26.7/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
- Largest headroom in AI Access (29.9/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
Recommended actions
- Prioritise the weakest pillar (Data) to lift the geometric-mean development index (CDI).
- Broaden the base (education + data governance) to raise resilience and reduce concentration risk.
