AI is the 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 —the foundation of future economies. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐒, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐔𝐀𝐄 are betting billions on it. Meanwhile, India—home to 𝟒𝐌+ 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬—is still waiting for a plan. If we don’t move now, we’ll be AI consumers, not creators. Here’s how India can still build an AI empire: 𝟭.
