Each time my editor at the Hindustan Times, Zara Murao, reminds me that it’s time to write this column, we both laugh and shudder at once. Has it been two weeks already?

India, June 21 -- Back in October 2024, I wrote on these pages of a group of 12-year-olds who had figured out an ingenious shortcut to finish their homework.

These children had understood a basic truth: in today's world, what matters most is the result. Not the process. Not the effort.

India, June 14 -- The next great power struggle in technology won't be about speed or scale, it'll be about whose language AI speaks. Because trust in technology begins with something deeply human: being understood. You trust a doctor who speaks your language. You trust a banker who understands your context. So why would you trust an algorithm that doesn't know who you are, where you're from, or what your words mean?

In India, the response until now has been BharatGPT. This is a collaboration between startups like CoRover.ai, government-backed platforms like Bhashini, and academic institutions such as the IITs. Its aim is not to chase ChatGPT on global benchmarks. Instead, it hopes to solve problems at home—helping citizens navigate government forms in Hindi, automating railway queries in Tamil, or enabling voice assistants in other regional languages.
