India’s Economic Survey Is Right on AI — and Still Gets It Wrong
The Economic Survey correctly frames AI as infrastructure, but it misses the true regime change. AI isn’t just a productivity tool; it’s a tool for collapsing uncertainty. India’s growth has long been throttled by volatility and high capital costs. By shifting from manual information processing to systematic decision processing, AI stabilizes cash flows and makes Indian MSMEs legible to global lenders. This is the most powerful growth unlock since liberalization.


Davos Is Looking at AI Backwards And Misunderstanding AI’s Most Important Market - India
Davos views AI through the lens of efficiency, but in India, the challenge isn't optimization—it’s variance.

By collapsing variance and making small businesses "legible" to lenders, AI unlocks capital at scale. The result isn't a tech boom, but a fundamental repricing of the Indian economy.

What’s Slowing Apple India? Apple India.
Apple Inc.’s explosive growth in India, long seen as the company's next frontier, has hit a wall. New filings reveal that annual sales growth has decelerated to 18% year-on-year, the slowest pace in six years.

Now, analysts warn growth could dip further to the 10-15% range, signaling a critical need for a strategic pivot.
