At The Economic Times Soonicorns Summit curtain-raiser, Abhinav Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO of Fluid AI, joined Jai Asundi, Executive Director at the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy, for a powerful discussion on democratizing AI access across India.

The session explored how the future of AI in India depends on inclusivity — not just through advanced models, but by building the right infrastructure, including localized data centers that make innovation affordable and accessible to all.

Abhinav emphasized that true progress lies in bridging the gap between innovation and accessibility — ensuring that AI’s benefits reach every corner of the country, not just those who can afford global cloud costs.

As India moves toward an AI-driven future, conversations like these are key to ensuring that technological growth remains equitable, scalable, and human-centered.
