Firstpost | How Trump’s tariffs can be opportunity in crisis for India

While Trump’s tariffs aren’t designed to help India, they may inadvertently provide the external catalyst needed for India’s economic transformation. Sometimes, the most valuable gifts come in the most unexpected packages.

The Donald Trump administration’s recent imposition of tariffs on Indian goods could have a silver lining if India can seize the opportunity. In conditions reminiscent of the 1991 crisis that opened up India’s economy, India could use this opportunity for its long-overdue economic transformation by fostering a more export-oriented economy. This is an opportunity to shift the domestic Overton window on protectionism, albeit under pressure.

Moneycontrol | Why India should keep out TikTok in the age of information warfare

Even as some Chinese apps make their comeback in the country, TikTok should not be allowed in India due to cognitive autonomy concerns. Its algorithm can be potentially used to amplify or de-amplify content to suit ByteDance's, and thereby Chinese Communist Party's, objectives

Indian Express | More delivery and payment apps will not make India a tech leader

While India celebrates its unicorn boom, a troubling innovation gap separates us from true technological leadership. Despite boasting of the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem and a massive pool of technical talent, India needs to do a lot more when it comes to cutting-edge DeepTech innovation. Its unicorns solve distribution problems rather than scientific ones. Its brightest minds build payment apps, not quantum computers. India’s venture capital flows to the next food delivery service, not fusion energy. This paradox demands explanation — and action.

NDTV | Let 'Thermodynamics' Teach You Something About AI

As the Paris AI Action Summit 2025 descended into a cacophony of competing national interests and corporate agendas, it offered a perfect illustration of entropy in action: a system of global governance dissolving into disorder without sufficient organising energy to maintain coherence. This collapse of international cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI) standards reveals a fundamental truth applicable far beyond the diplomatic sphere: without intentional intervention, our AI ecosystems will naturally trend toward maximum chaos.

The Hindu | AI infrastructure, the key to global AI supremacy

For countries such as India, the diverse approaches by lead AI players such as the U.S, the European Union and China offer lessons.

The United States has made a bold move in the global artificial intelligence (AI) race with its new federal AI infrastructure policy. What appears to be a domestic initiative to establish AI data centres across federal lands, is actually a well-thought-out strategy to maintain America’s technological supremacy in this field. Other countries have also developed their own AI infrastructure strategies to face this competition. India faces resource constraints. The challenge for India, therefore, lies in adopting a strategy which will work without the deep financial reserves of the U.S. or China.
