MahaCrimeOS AI a pioneering, AI and Azure powered platform developed by CyberEye, innovators in cutting-edge technologies of Cyber Security & IoT and a Partner ISV of Microsoft, with the Maharashtra Government’s Special Purpose Vehicle MARVEL, and Microsoft India Development Center (IDC)—was unveiled today at the Microsoft AI Tour in Mumbai. The announcement was made by Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, who also met with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to discuss the future of digital safety and AI-driven governance in the state. Currently live in 23 Nagpur police stations, MahaCrimeOS AI was recognized by Chief Minister Fadnavis, who proposed its future expansion to all 1,100 police stations across Maharashtra.
Microsoft, in collaboration with the Maharashtra Government and its MARVEL initiative, is leveraging next-generation AI to tackle the new wave of complex and evolving cybercrimes —fast-tracking India’s fight against cybercrime.
Importantly, MahaCrimeOS AI is designed to augment officers with AI tools so they can resolve cases faster and more efficiently, combining human expertise with responsible innovation. This initiative empowers law enforcement to accelerate cybercrime investigations and sets a new benchmark for digital safety in India, as the country faces a surge in cybercrime with over 3.6 million incidents reported in 2024 as per National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, said: “Ethical and responsible AI for public good is our core motto. AI has the power to transform by improving efficiency, enhancing quality of life, and delivering true ease of living for every citizen. The vision behind creating MARVEL is to build a platform that partners with global deep-technology leaders to develop AI copilots that can fundamentally transform the way we govern. Our collaboration with Microsoft began with solving complex cybercrime challenges, but its potential is far greater. AI today touches every sphere of human activity, from healthcare and agriculture to industry and governance and we intend to harness this power responsibly to create a more effective, citizen centric state.”
MahaCrimeOS AI is built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Microsoft Foundry, integrating advanced AI assistants, automated workflows, and secure cloud infrastructure. The platform enables instant case creation, multilingual data extraction, and contextual legal assistance—reducing manual effort and allowing officers to focus on solving complex cybercrimes. With built-in access to India’s criminal laws through integrated AI RAG and open-source intelligence, MahaCrimeOS AI helps investigators link cases, analyze digital evidence, and respond to threats faster and more effectively. The Microsoft India Development Center (IDC) worked closely with CyberEye and MARVEL to tailor the solution for real-world policing needs, standardizing investigation workflows and ensuring secure, compliant deployment.
