Data residency tells you where information is stored. Operational control tells you who can disable, audit, patch, or throttle the system that processes it FUTURECRAFT | TECHNOLOGY & MARKETS ARSSH KUMAR On 15 May 2026, at a ceremony witnessed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Indias Foreign Secretary and the CEO of Abu Dhabis G42 formalised the commercial terms for Condor Galaxy India. The system will deliver eight exaflops of AI compute, making it one of the most powerful AI clusters on Indian soil. The government described it as a milestone in sovereign AI. That word deserves some examination. Indias sovereign AI agenda has real substance behind it. The IndiaAI Mission has allocated over Rs 10,372 crore to build domestic compute capacity. Sarvam AI and BharatGen have launched foundation models trained on Indian data. The Bhashini platform migrated to indigenous infrastructure in February 2026. These are not trivial achievements. But the infrastructure being celebrated as sovereign at the Abu Dhabi signing ceremony is installed, operated, and maintained by a firm chaired by the UAEs national security adviser and backed by Abu Dhabis state sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala. The data will sit within Indian borders. The company running the hardware will not. What sovereignty actually requires The governments standard claim is that data residency equals sovereignty. As long as data does not cross the border, the argument goes, the infrastructure qualifies as national. This framing collapses an important distinction. Data residency tells you where information is stored. Operational control tells you who can disable, audit, patch, or throttle the system that processes it. G42 is not an independent commercial firm. Its chairman, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is the UAEs national security adviser and a brother of the president. Mubadala, Abu Dhabis sovereign wealth fund, holds a stake in the company. Under the framework formalised on 15 May, a G42 unit will handle installation, operations, and maintenance of the supercomputer. This means the operational control layer of Indias most powerful AI cluster reports, ultimately, to a foreign state apparatus. A legal concept worth noting here is what scholars of AI governance call remote disablement: a foreign vendor, under compulsion from its home government or pursuant to contractual terms, can restrict or disable hardware deployed on Indian territory. A system whose inferential capacity runs on infrastructure subject to foreign jurisdiction is not sovereign in any meaningful operational sense. It is leased. The hardware layer underneath The G42 issue is the most visible part of a deeper structural problem. Indias broader AI infrastructure is built almost entirely on foreign silicon. The IndiaAI Mission has onboarded 38,000 Nvidia GPUs, available at Rs 65 per GPU-hour. Yottas Shakti Cloud, billed as sovereign AI cloud infrastructure, is adding 20,736 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs at its Greater Noida campus. Reliances one-gigawatt AI data centre in Gujarat is being built on Blackwell architecture. L&T is constructing gigawatt-scale AI factory infrastructure in Chennai and Mumbai, also on Nvidia systems. Every one of these chips is subject to US export licensing. Under the Biden administrations AI Diffusion framework, India was placed in Tier 2 with a cumulative cap equivalent to roughly 50,000 H100-class GPUs through 2027. For context: a single American hyperscaler deploys more than that for a single project. Indias entire two-year allocation is a rounding error in the US domestic AI buildout. The Trump administration rolled back the formal diffusion rules in 2025, but the underlying architecture of export control authority remains intact. Washington can reinstate access restrictions. The hardware layer is a foreign chokepoint dressed in Indian branding. The G42 trust problem G42s recent history complicates the picture further. In January 2024, the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party wrote to the Commerce Secretary calling for an investigation into G42s ties to Huawei, BGI Genomics, and entities linked to the PRCs military-civil fusion programme. The committee noted that G42s CEO, Peng Xiao, was affiliated with an expansive network of UAE and China-based companies developing dual-use technologies. G42 subsequently divested its Chinese holdings and accepted US-imposed constraints as a condition of Microsofts $1.5 billion investment. India is now deploying the same firm as the operator of its national AI supercomputer. That G42 cleaned up its China entanglements to access American capital is not the same as saying those entanglements are irrelevant to Indias strategic calculus. The company that holds the maintenance contract on Condor Galaxy India is the same company that, two years ago, was under active US Congressional pressure over its ties to Chinese military-linked entities. Indias security establishment is presumably aware of this. Whether it has been adequately weighed against the compute access on offer is another question. The steelman: why India may have no choice The counter-argument is serious and should not be dismissed. Indias domestic chip manufacturing capacity does not exist yet. Tatas Dholera fab, the countrys first semiconductor fabrication facility, received its Special Economic Zone notification in April 2026 and is targeting trial production at 28 nanometre nodes by late 2026. The frontier AI chips that matter for model training operate at three to four nanometres. The gap between where Indian silicon manufacturing starts and where it needs to be for AI sovereignty is not a few years; it is a decade or more of sustained investment and industrial development. CFR has argued that for countries like India, the more urgent risk is not dependency per se but being locked out of AIs benefits entirely while the technology compounds elsewhere. On that framing, the G42 deal and the Nvidia infrastructure buildout are the pragmatic path: take the compute now, build domestic capability in parallel, and accept the dependency as a transitional cost. That argument holds for civilian AI applications. It is harder to sustain when the infrastructure in question is being positioned as the foundation of Indias national AI security posture, with the government using sovereignty language at the signing ceremony. The word sovereignty implies a degree of control that

Shreyas Is Going To Have A Good Time As Well: Rohit Sharma Backs New India T20I Captain
Nuvama Pri T20 Mumbai League: Batting icon Rohit Sharma has backed newly-appointed India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer to thrive in his new role, while hailing the T20 Mumbai League as an important platform for nurturing the next generation of cricketers. Rohit's remarks came on a night when 21,708 fans packed the Wankhede Stadium for a star-studded Nuvama Pri T20 Mumbai League 2026 clash between SOBO Mumbai Falcons and Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, featuring Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav. Iyer marked his recent elevation as India's T20I captain with a match-winning 61 off 36 balls, guiding the Falcons to a five-wicket victory. The Face of the League, Rohit said Mumbai cricket's demanding environment helps prepare players for leadership roles at the highest level. Playing in Mumbai teaches you a lot of things. And if you ask anyone who has captained India or Mumbai, they'll tell you the same thing. Because nothing comes easy here, he said. You have to really earn it. So, captaincy is also something that you have to earn and earn the respect of people around you. And that is something that all these guys have. The World Cup-winning India captain pointed to the journeys of Mumbai cricketers who have gone on to lead the national side, citing both Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer as examples of resilience and leadership. You've seen Surya who led India to the World Cup final. Look, he made his India debut at 31, if I'm not wrong. Which means that he never gave up. He always wanted to be in the fight. And when it came, he wanted to grab it with both hands. And he did it. Now, Shreyas has been announced as a T20 captain. And I'm sure looking at how he has captained in the last few years for his franchise in Mumbai and all of that, he's going to have a good time as well. Rohit also underlined the importance of the T20 Mumbai League in providing opportunities for emerging cricketers and strengthening Mumbai's cricketing ecosystem. We want the platform for all the players to come out and show their talent. And this is the perfect platform for a lot of these guys who are playing and taking part in it. Last year was a huge success, I saw it. A lot of people turned up as well, he said. Now, Shreyas has been announced as a T20 captain. And I'm sure looking at how he has captained in the last few years for his franchise in Mumbai and all of that, he's going to have a good time as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rohit also credited Mumbai Cricket Association President Ajinkya Naik and his team for successfully staging the tournament and ensuring high standards despite the challenges of hosting it immediately after the IPL season. Huge credit to Ajinkya [Naik] and his team for putting up this show and a wonderful platform for everyone. And what I've been hearing from everyone is that there hasn't been any compromise. It's never easy, especially after the IPL. I know how tough it is, not just for the players but also not to forget the groundsmen who have been here day in, day out. That shows the people involved in the T20 Mumbai League are quite passionate as well. Article Source: IANS

Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza: Even as the Indian yoga athletes and many of their Indian-origin counterparts take centrestage at the inaugural World Yogasana Championships here, a lithe South American is a cynosure of the spectators and fellow competitors as she performed the asanas with precision and elegance. After all, Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza has been one of the most successful overseas athletes in the championships, winning a total of five including two gold and two silver medals, and insists that yoga has transformed her life in more ways than she could ever imagine. Born about 40 kilometres from Rosario the Argentine city that gave the global football icon Lionel Messi Nabilas first brush with Yogasana happened through a college friend back home. What began as curiosity gradually transformed into a passion, eventually bringing her to Mumbai, a city she would call home for nearly five years During that period, she learnt Hindi phrases, discovered Indian traditions, appeared as a background dancer in Bollywood productions, worked alongside actor Tiger Shroff, and even developed an unexpected appreciation for cricket. I knew how passionate people in Argentina are about football, so I could understand the emotions Indians have for cricket, said Nabila as she speaks about how she is a great fan of former India skipper Virat Kohli. While cricket introduced her to one side of India, yoga revealed something deeper. Drawn by its philosophy and transformative potential, Nabila travelled to Rishikesh, widely regarded as the yoga capital of the world, before furthering her studies in Nashik. The enriching experience has since shaped the journey of the 30-year-old trainer of contemporary dance, who was raised by a single mother alongside her two siblings. It has been an amazing journey in India. I loved everything about the country the culture, the people and the diversity. I travelled to Rajasthan, Agra, Goa, Chennai and Kolkata. What amazed me most was how different the languages, cuisines and customs can be within one country, said Nabila. The lessons she learnt on those journeys would eventually travel with her across continents. Earlier this year, Nabila moved to Colombia, where she now conducts both online and offline yoga classes. Yoga heals the body, mind and soul, she said. For me, it is still a learning experience. What makes it special is that it is not restricted by age. Anyone can practice it. Nabilas commitment was evident long before she stepped onto the championship stage in Ahmedabad. To compete at the World Yogasana Championships, Nabila endured a gruelling 48-hour journey that took her from Bogota to Toronto, then London, Mumbai and finally Ahmedabad. The effort paid off.

SOBO Mumbai Falcons Storm Into Inaugural T20 Mumbai Womens League Final
Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb: SOBO Mumbai Falcons sealed their place in the final of the inaugural T20 Mumbai Womens League after registering their third successive victory with a comprehensive 39-run win over Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Defending a competitive total of 143/7, the Falcons produced a clinical bowling display to dismiss the Tigers for 104 in 18.2 overs. The chase got off to the worst possible start for the Tigers as skipper Humairaa Kaazi was dismissed for a duck by her opposite number Sayali Satghare before the team could open its account. Opener Sanika Chalke and Sejal Raut attempted to rebuild the innings with a 47-run partnership for the second wicket. Sejal made 15 before falling in the seventh over, while Sanika looked set for a bigger score before being run out for a fighting 42 with the score on 61/3. After Sanika's dismissal, the Tigers struggled to keep pace with the required rate as wickets fell regularly. None of the remaining batters managed to make a substantial contribution, and the innings folded for 104. Sayali led (2-21) from the front with the ball, while Nirmiti Rane (2-21) and Swara Jadhav (2-12) chipped in with two wickets apiece. Earlier, Sarika Koli's composed 49 laid the foundation for the Falcons' total. Put in to bat, the Falcons suffered an early setback when Riya Chaudhari departed for two. Simran Shaikh (38) and Aarohi Bambode (19) steadied the innings with a valuable 44-run stand for the second wicket before the Tigers struck twice in quick succession to pull things back. Koli then took charge alongside captain Sayali, adding 43 runs for the fourth wicket. However, Fatima Jaffar, who impressed with figures of 3/20, broke the partnership by dismissing Sayali and continued to keep the scoring in check.

Don't Let Expectations Distract From Process: Harmanpreet's Mantra For Women's T20 WC
T20 World Cup: India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has a knack for keeping things simple, even as the noise around the upcoming Womens T20 World Cup has started to take centrestage. The chatter about India being in the group of death, batting frailties or the scars of the group stage exit in the 2024 Womens T20 World Cup fades quickly when she speaks with the utmost clarity. Hardened by previous setbacks at global events, India finally broke the trophy drought with the ODI World Cup won at home in 2025. Now, India seeks to clinch its first Womens T20 World Cup title in England and Wales, expectations from all quarters are on a high when Harmanpreet & Co. take the field on June 14 against Pakistan in Birmingham. But Harmanpreet insists that one thing has still not changed - of not letting expectations distracting one from their usual process to achieve glory. With success naturally comes more expectations, but I see that as a positive sign for women's cricket. It shows that people are emotionally invested in the team and are following our journey closely. Personally, I try not to think too much about outside pressure. My focus remains on preparation, contributing to the team, and staying present in the moment. Over the years, I have realised that expectations will always exist at this level, and the key is to not let them distract you from your process. It is also very encouraging to see more fans engaging with women's cricket now. Growing support motivates all of us to keep improving and performing consistently, recalls Harmanpreet in an exclusive conversation with IANS ahead of the T20 World Cup, facilitated by CREX. Even though India suffered series losses in South Africa in the run-up to the 12-team mega event, the extensive hardwork done at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru was, by Harmanpreet's account, as thorough a preparation as she has been part of - not just in terms of skill work, but also in terms of role clarity and mental readiness. The preparatory camp at the Centre of Excellence was very structured and focused on multiple aspects of readiness for the T20 World Cup. Along with skill-based training, there was strong emphasis on fitness, match simulations, game awareness, and handling pressure situations. We also worked a lot on role clarity within the team, which is extremely important in T20 cricket because situations change very quickly. The support staff ensured that preparation was not just physical, but also mental and tactical. Camps like these help build rhythm and confidence as a group before a major tournament, and they also allow younger players to spend more time with experienced players in a competitive environment, added Harmanpreet. Apart from keeping an eye on ensuring the 2026 T20 World Cup campaign tells a different story for India as compared to earlier years, the onlookers will be keen to cast a view on Harmanpreets own batting. In South Africa earlier this year, she showed a willingness to attack earlier in the innings while hitting 66 in Johannesburg. A more aggressive version of Harmanpreet has been shaped by a sharper intent that head coach Amol Muzumdar later highlighted. Its also evident from the numbers too - in T20Is this year, Harmanpreet has scored at a strike rate of 132.3 - her best in any calendar year by a distance. Asked about her recent surge in aggression with the bat in the shortest format, Harmanpreet traces it to one word process. Modern T20 cricket is constantly evolving, and as players, we also need to evolve with the demands of the game. The idea behind becoming more aggressive was not about changing my natural game completely, but about being more proactive and taking calculated risks earlier when the situation allows. A lot of discussions with the coaches, including Amol sir, helped in identifying areas where I could put more pressure on bowlers and improve scoring options. We worked specifically on intent, shot selection, and adapting quicker to match situations. Implementing it was more about mindset and clarity. Once you trust your preparation and decision-making, you can play with more freedom and confidence, she added. Aside from batting and hitting deliveries from the get go, Harmanpreets love for fielding still remains high, for it is treated not as a secondary skill, but as part of the same commitment she brings to batting and captaincy. Cast your mind back to November 2, 2025 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, when South Africas Nadine de Klerk backed away to carve an inside out against a low full toss outside off stump from Deepti Sharma. But Nadine only managed to slice the ball high towards extra cover, where Harmanpreet turned swiftly, ran back and tracked the ball over her shoulder before completing a clean catch and confirmed Indias long awaited ODI World Cup victory. Absolutely - fielding is something I genuinely enjoy because it allows you to stay constantly involved in the game and contribute to the team in different ways. A good catch, a sharp run-out, or saving crucial runs can change the momentum of a match just as much as an important innings. I have always believed that energy on the field reflects the attitude of the team. Diving, chasing balls, and putting in that extra effort also motivates teammates and lifts the overall intensity on the field. Batting will always be special to me, but fielding gives a different kind of satisfaction because it is completely about awareness, commitment, and reacting in the moment. Quizzed on whether she enjoys the thrill of taking a good catch or the satisfaction of a dive leading to a good run-out, Harmanpreet refuses to choose between the two. I think it is a combination of both. As a fielder, you always have the opportunity to make an impact on the game, whether it is through taking a catch, saving crucial runs, or creating a run-out opportunity. There is a special thrill in taking a difficult catch, but at the same time, putting in a dive to stop a boundary or contributing to a run-out can be equally satisfying because it helps the team in an important moment. What I enjoy most about fielding is the energy and involvement it brings. You are constantly alert, reading the game, and looking for opportunities to make a difference. Good fielding can shift momentum just as much as a good innings or a crucial wicket, and being able to contribute in that way is something I really enjoy. The same logic runs through how Harmanpreet thinks about something beyond her own performance: - the visibility of women's cricket itself and the chatter amongst fans for the game on a daily basis, which is visible through her partnership with CREX and its unique Social feature which allows fans to have discussions and analysis in real time, especially when the matches are on. Today, audiences want instant updates, live engagement, statistics, and match conversations in one place, and digital platforms help bridge that gap effectively. For womens cricket, consistent visibility is extremely important. The more regularly fans can follow matches, player performances, and a tournaments moments, the stronger the connection with the sport becomes. For womens cricket, this kind of engagement is very valuable because it helps build familiarity and long-term fan loyalty beyond just headline moments. Fan conversations are extremely important because they create a sense of community around the sport. When people actively discuss matches, players, performances, and key moments in real time, it increases emotional investment and visibility for the game. For womens cricket, these conversations help normalise the sport within mainstream cricket culture rather than treating it separately. The more people talk about the sport regularly, the stronger and more connected the fan ecosystem becomes, she added.

Whether that same quiet conviction of staying in the present, to not let lofty expectations swallow the team, and trusting the process above all else carries India to the one white-ball trophy that still eludes them, only these next few weeks will tell. A thrilling English summer awaits Harmanpreet and she looks ready to face it headon. Article Source: IANS

The right-hander stitched together a 33-run stand with Gautam Waghela for the third wicket before unleashing an array of elegant strokes against the Knights' attack. He brought up his half-century in style with a towering six over deep midwicket and continued to dominate the bowling, putting the Falcons firmly on course for victory. Parikshit Valsangkar eventually ended Shreyas enterprising knock, which featured five fours and four sixes, but by then the result was all but sealed. Akash Parkar applied the finishing touch with a six as the Falcons completed the chase with 20 balls to spare. Earlier, Suryakumar starred with the willow, scoring a fluent 48 off 24 deliveries, laced with three fours and four sixes. The T20 World Cup-winning captain helped the Knights recover from the early setbacks with a 56-runs partnership with the in-form Nutan Goel (34).
