There is a saying in Hindi: “Laton ke bhut bato se nahi mante,” which basically means that there are people who work only when kicked; they don’t listen to advice. That is the situation currently in the Indian private sector. They don’t listen to something unless there is a clear punishment for not doing it and the punishment is implemented. If it can be circumvented, they will circumvent because there is severe inertia in the system, which just takes up what is apparently the best for them and they will not look beyond their nose.
The government needs to impose certain specific conditions. Those not using the Indian platform will have to pay a penalty and a severe penalty at that. It could be graded into percentages, small percentages to large percentages. That is the only way the private sector can be made to work.
Government should use a PSU or a new private company to build products using Sarvam that enterprises can use to improve productivity and profitability and re-invigorate the economy, just like the original PSUs did in the early days. Then use great salespeople to sell.
Indian IT is just focused on labor arbitrage. Established companies won’t be able to do it.

Sarvam needs good sales people who believe in the product, not just engineers and investors. Big tech companies have thousands of salespeople.
