IIT Bombay collaborates with SBI Life to build Bharat's AI & Cyber Innovation Hub for Insurance (IIT Bombay/X) This partnership will go a long way towards achieving the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, as envisioned by the Government of India, and minimise reliance on foreign cybersecurity frameworks. Researchers from IIT Bombay will collaborate with SBI Life on initiatives around Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum technologies, and insurance innovation. Other areas of collaboration will include AI-based security tools, cybersecurity technologies, executive education, strategy consulting, talent development, and innovation incubation. DU PG Admission 2026: Correction, mid-entry, third round of allocation schedule out at du.ac.in, registration begins By integrating IIT Bombay's research capabilities with SBI Life's experience, the two entities intend to develop scalable, robust digital security frameworks for the insurance sector.
