Desi AI: A blueprint for leadership
ANTHROPIC'S RELEASE OF Claude Cowork and Claude Code triggered a sharp dip in Indian IT stocks, signalling a vastly changed technology ecosystem. India’s manpower-intensive services companies are clearly under threat from artificial intelligence (AI), anda transition to an intellectual property-driven future leveraging Alis now an existential necessity. When confronted in Davos recently with the label “second-tier AI power”, Union Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw gave a thoughtful riposte, laying out a layered AI taxonomy and arguing that leadership in many of the layers makes India decidedly not second tier. While this assertion is sound, the underlying anxiety is real—Indians aspire to a indigenous or desi AI that is an unequivocal global leader.
