Unlocking India’s Potential with AI by Nilekani and Bhojwani

1 Dec 2023

India is on the brink of a transformation that could change its economic and social future Before the end of this decade, more Indians will use AI every day than in any other country in the world. What’s more, people in advanced economies will be surprised by the ways the country will use AI. India is on the cusp of a technological revolution that could alter the trajectory of its social and economic future, and in this revolution there are lessons for the rest of the world. Our prediction hinges on three facts: India needs it, India is ready for it, and India will do it. India needs it The concept of "China plus one" has been gaining traction, with its admonition that global companies should not depend inordinately on China for their manufacturing and software needs. India, with its growing infrastructure investments, favorable policies, and young working population, is the most likely beneficiary of this shift. It is perhaps the only country poised to match the scale of China.
