Al Ambition to Accountable Execution
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY'S (IT'S) 2026 inflection point in India will be less about chasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype and more about proving industrial-scale execution. The conversation has clearly moved beyond pilots to production, forcing companies to confront uncomfortable truths around cost discipline, governance and talent depth. Outcome-based pricing, platformised delivery and deeper hyperscaler partnerships point to a maturing services model, but they also raise the stakes. Vendors can no longer hide behind effort metrics when value is under scrutiny.

Escaping Data Caves
DEEP INSIDE THE underground water systems of Oman's Al Hoota Cave, lives nature's fascinating oddity, the Oman Garra cave fish - a fish that's blind and has no colour. Since their eyes are completely covered with eyelids, they make their way around obstacles in the cave by puckering their mouth and creating short bursts of suction. The Oman Garra cave fish evolved thus to survive in pitch-dark caves with little oxygen.

"Geopolitics Is The Biggest Risk To Investor Sentiment Right Now"
After two years of cautious capital deployment and investor restraint, India’s startup ecosystem is once again showing signs of renewed momentum. Funding is rebounding across stages, IPO chatter is growing louder, and investor confidence appears to be recalibrating rather than retreating. Early-stage venture capital firm Unicorn India Ventures (UIV) has already surpassed its initial target of Rs 1,000 crore and is now exercising a Rs 200-crore greenshoe option, taking the final close of Fund III to approximately Rs 1,200 crore. Against this backdrop, ANIL JOSHI, Managing Partner at Unicorn India Ventures, offers a grounded perspective on what is truly driving the resurgence. In this conversation with BW Businessworld, Joshi unpacks the role of improved unit economics, India’s macroeconomic strength and the opening of new high-potential sectors such as deep tech, semiconductors, space and defence. He also weighs in on whether the current funding uptick reflects a genuine shift in risk appetite, the sustainability of India’s IPO enthusiasm and the geopolitical risks that could test investor sentiment in the months ahead.

TEN YEARS AFTER PARIS AGREEMENT: India's Trillion-Dollar Balancing Act
A DECADE AFTER the Paris Agreement was adopted, climate ambition has reached its ‘test decade’. It began in 2015 as an international accord to rein in emissions, has turned into a restructuring of economies. The discourse has changed from temperature goals to just transition plans, from accounting for emissions to allocating capital. India, which was one day making the case for carbon space, is now designing the very architecture of low-carbon growth. Energy transition has become the country’s second economic reform.
