CEO & Founder Neelima Grover to Keynote NAISA Summit in India

This Friday, April 11, 2025, Q2IMPACT and Q2GLOBAL Founder and CEO Neelima Grover will take the stage at the NAISA.AI Conference in New Delhi, India to share a bold vision: one where AI is not only powerful—but ethical, secure, and deeply human-centered.

Hosted by India’s National AI and Security Alliance (NAISA), the conference brings together leaders in defense, security, and emerging technologies to shape the future of artificial intelligence in national security. In a room full of policy architects, military technologists, and innovation pioneers, Grover’s message is clear:

“In national security, AI must do more than process data—it must understand people. If it can’t protect the most vulnerable, it risks doing real harm.”

Drawing from three decades of experience, Grover will explore the operational and ethical imperative of building AI that reflects the realities of those it’s meant to serve—especially in complex environments marked by conflict, climate shocks, and misinformation.

Her session, “Human-Centered Impact in the Age of AI: Ethical Innovation in Defense and Security,” will highlight:

• Inclusive AI models designed to avoid misclassification and prevent harm, particularly in conflict-affected and border regions

• Geospatial intelligence + AI to predict migration, coordinate response, and mitigate risk in fragile areas

• Closed-loop AI systems like Q2MAVERICK that operate securely in air-gapped environments, offering mission-critical intelligence without risking data leakage

• Multilingual, culturally grounded AI as a frontline defense against misinformation and digital manipulation

• The need for ethical governance frameworks that protect civil populations and reinforce the legitimacy of institutions

Grover will also showcase Q2MAVERICK, Q2GLOBAL’s secure AI solution currently being piloted in India. One powerful use case? Supporting flood preparedness by identifying high-risk districts—such as Barpeta, Samastipur, and Kendrapara—where vulnerability is compounded by poverty, gender inequity, and limited infrastructure. Through local-language outputs and contextual dashboards, Q2MAVERICK will help planners deploy resources where they’re needed most—before disaster strikes.

As Grover puts it:

“The future of AI in defense isn’t just smarter predictions. It’s smarter inclusion.”

This appearance builds on Q2GLOBAL’s growing footprint in AI, security, and institutional resilience, and continues to position Q2IMPACT and Q2GLOBAL as a leading thought leader in ethically grounded innovation.
