We are a new kind of technology advisory that identifies digital opportunities and builds sovereign tech capabilities for nations, governments, and institutions across the world. We help clients harness the power of technology to accelerate development, drive economic growth, and deliver impact at national scale.
We understand that in today's world, technology is your greatest lever of transformation. But technology without strategy is just infrastructure. Let's build something that lasts.
About Us
We were founded in the corridors of government ministries, the boardrooms of global technology firms, policy tables at the United Nations, and the classrooms of the University of Oxford, Chicago Booth, IIT Delhi, Johns Hopkins University, and NYU.
Since then, our team has grown, but we're still a small shop. Every advisor on our staff is a pressure-tested technologist, strategist, and policy expert in their own right. We've worked alongside heads of state, technology ministers, central bank governors, and the CEOs of companies shaping the digital economy.
The integration of technology strategy, policy design, and implementation sits at the heart of our philosophy, covering both the architecture and execution of digital programmes. Because silos dilute impact while integration maximises it.
Our model is built on collaboration. Our diverse perspectives spanning AI, fintech, eGovernance, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure are brought to bear on every mandate we take. We're selective about our clients. If we work with you, you can trust we believe in your ability to lead a digital future.
Who We've
Worked With
What We Do
National Digital Strategy
The most valuable thing we give a government is a coherent technology vision. Our team of senior advisors, drawn from the worlds of policy, engineering, economics, and diplomacy, specialises in translating national ambitions into executable digital roadmaps. We guide nations through some of their most complex technology decisions, providing the external expertise that turns aspiration into action.
AI & Data Governance
Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of development. We help governments and institutions design sovereign AI frameworks and ethical data governance systems, enabling them to harness the power of AI while protecting citizens, building public trust, and maintaining regulatory control in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
Digital Public Infrastructure
From digital identity systems and open payment networks to interoperable health and education platforms, we design and advise on Digital Public Infrastructure built for every citizen. We help countries architect systems that are inclusive, scalable, and built to last, drawing from the world's most successful DPI models, including India Stack.
Cybersecurity & Digital Sovereignty
In an era of digital conflict, national security is inseparable from cyber resilience. Our approach is hands on, technical, and deeply strategic. We help governments assess their threat landscape, design national cybersecurity frameworks, build CERT capabilities, and develop the policy infrastructure needed to protect critical digital assets and sovereign data.
Fintech & Digital Finance
We conduct an extensive audit of your financial infrastructure, then work with you to design regulatory sandboxes, central bank digital currency frameworks, open banking architectures, and financial inclusion strategies. We've helped design digital finance systems for emerging economies and built the policy foundations for some of the world's most ambitious fintech ecosystems.
Tech Policy & Regulatory Design
Achieving technology policy objectives requires comprehensive engagement built on far more than traditional access. We help clients navigate the intersection of government, regulators, and the technology industry, designing policy that enables innovation while protecting the public interest and building the regulatory environments that attract investment and grow national capability.
Executive Technology Briefings
We prepare heads of state, ministers, board directors, and ambassadors to lead with confidence in the digital age. Our briefings go beyond surface-level talking points to build genuine technology fluency at the highest decision-making levels. Whether preparing for a G20 summit, a bilateral tech dialogue, or a major board strategy session, we ensure leaders speak with authority and act with precision.
Research, Data & Technology Intelligence
We use advanced research methods and global technology intelligence networks to generate the evidence base that underpins national technology decisions. From benchmarking digital readiness to modelling the economic impact of AI adoption, we provide decision makers with the rigorous, independent analysis they need to lead with clarity and build with confidence.
Our Approach
- Exalt is not your typical technology consultancy. We're an expert team of seasoned technologists, policy architects, and digital strategists who move fast, think clearly, and give you our absolute best. For better or worse, we are the types who are still stress testing policy frameworks at 2:00am. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but the work we do and its impact on millions of people is a different story entirely.
- Our team is intentionally small and built for precision, not volume. We don't win mandates with credentials and then hand your country's digital future to a junior associate. When you engage us, you get our full team: every domain expert, every relationship, and every hard-won insight from years spent at the intersection of technology and power.
- We are selective about the mandates we take on. We work only with clients whose ambitions we believe in and whose work has the potential to change lives at scale. So before we begin, we insist on sitting down together and understanding exactly where you are, and precisely where you need technology to take you.
- Then we are fully committed. We immerse ourselves in your context: your political economy, your infrastructure constraints, your institutional capacity, your citizen needs. We design with you, not for you. And we stay with you through implementation, not just the slide deck.
We wouldn't be technologists if we didn't end on a call to action. We're always looking for exceptional thinkers, engineers, policy experts, and digital strategists to join our team. Reach out if that's you.
