Tanay Mahindru

Fellow, IT for Change

Before becoming part of YLT, Tanay was a Young Professional in NITI Aayog's Frontier Technologies team, where he contributed to multiple papers, projects and pilot implementations. Specifically, co-developing a national strategy on Artificial Intelligence.

He has also previously worked in McKinsey and Company's digital practice, where he contributed to projects for global private and public sector clients.

Combined with his degree in engineering, he has extensive experience in technology strategy and implementation, skills that will be extremely useful to his work with us.

What Tanay finds most exciting about technology policy is ‘as a relatively nascent area of policy study, technology policy throws up a number of new questions when trying to reconcile existing policy machinery with properties of emerging technologies. It's very exciting to be part of the process of discovery in the field as technology adoption grows and new challenges emerge.’
