  • Neelam Dhawan brings boardroom experience to one of AI’s most urgent questions: trust. The Data Security Council of India appointed her chairperson effective 1 April 2026, after she joined its board in December 2025. 

    Over more than four decades, she has held leadership roles across major technology companies and now sits across multiple boards. Her role matters because AI adoption is becoming a governance and cybersecurity issue, not only an innovation agenda. As organizations deploy AI across sensitive workflows, questions around data protection, cyber resilience and trust become central.
