Frontier Tech Repository

The NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Repository is a curated platform of proven, impact-driven technology use cases that are already solving real problems across the nation. Designed as a living and evolving knowledge commons that captures how frontier technologies—applied with purpose—are transforming lives and livelihoods at scale.

What sets the Repository apart is its emphasis on outcomes, not just innovation. Each entry will highlight:

  • The problem being addressed
  • The measurable impact delivered
  • The potential for replication and scale across states and sectors

By weaving these stories through immersive, human-centred narratives, the Repository will make technology accessible and relatable—showcasing how states, startups, and institutions are deploying solutions not for technology’s sake, but to meet pressing social, economic, and environmental needs. The Repository is being developed in partnership with The Better India, and will grow as a community-driven platform. We actively encourage states, startups, and innovators to contribute their tech-for-impact stories, ensuring the Repository continues to expand, inspire, and enable collective learning. Ultimately, the Repository will serve as a national bridge between challenges and solutions—democratizing awareness, enabling cross-learning, and promoting adoption of public-purpose innovation. In doing so, it will accelerate India’s journey toward inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development, while positioning the country as a global hub of tech-for-impact innovation.
