AI: What To Build For India
Amit Aggarwal and Manish Advani
We almost let AI avatars host this entire episode... and then had an existential crisis when we heard how good they were! (Our AI hosts crashed the intro before we managed to nervously take back control 😅).
But that's exactly what makes this conversation so relevant - generative AI has evolved from being a curiosity to now heavily influencing how we create, learn, connect and shop. And India is leading this adoption, emerging as the world's second-largest adopter of GenAI consumer applications.
In this episode, Amit Aggarwal and Manish Advani from our consumer tech practice join a slightly anxious Viswanathan V (who's still processing that AI can do his job!) to explore the massive opportunities for Indian founders in this space. The conversation maps out several exciting areas:
> Content creation & distribution
> Personalized learning
> AI companionship/social media
> Travel planning
> Shopping assistance
They also discuss what we look for in founding teams building in this space.
P.S. For the meta experience - check out the version at the end where AI hosts recreate this conversation. We might be hiring them for a follow-up episode! 😅
