What is your vision for how India can turn this AI moment into a generational leap forward?
Former CEO at HCL Technologies
This is the mother of all moments to take risk because the churn is universal. Nobody has the answers yet. Nobody knows the real use cases. Everybody is equally in the dark. This is the best possible time for India to run ahead because the playing field is level. The choice is between putting your head down and preserving cash or betting on this window to grab market share and define new categories. Every sector, pharma, manufacturing, IT, everything has an opportunity right now to step into the disruption and lead rather than follow. What India needs is not risk capital in 500,000 USD startup bets. India needs billions of dollars flowing into big, bold, non-obvious ideas. That is the only way a country with our population can create enough growth to serve everyone. If we get that right, the trajectory changes. If we do not, we will keep copying.
