Deep dives into document intelligence, data sovereignty, and the future of records in India.
If you work at an Indian organisation of any size, there is a very high chance your team is using Google Drive to store sensitive documents. Patient records. Employee Aadhaar copies. Vendor contracts. It feels safe. It is not.

Open your WhatsApp right now. Scroll back six months. There is a ninety percent chance you will find an Aadhaar card. Maybe yours. Maybe a family member’s. Maybe someone you sent it to for a hotel check-in, a job application, a school admission, or a rental agreement.
