EXCLUSIVE - ₹50,000Cr AI Ultimatum: Why Mohandas Pai Says India is Losing the Deep Tech Race

Is India at risk of becoming an "AI Colony"? In this incisive episode of Front Page, legendary investor and former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai breaks down the structural failures driving India’s top AI founders to San Francisco. While the government celebrates summits and "carnivals," Pai argues that "peanuts" in funding won't win a global war being fought with billions of dollars in the US and China. Key highlights of this conversation include: The ₹50,000 Crore Call: Why India must shift from small subsidies to massive R&D investments to match global "hyper-cloud" and GPU capacity.

Bureaucracy vs. Innovation: Pai’s "bold plan" to replace slow-moving Delhi-centric committees with private sector experts to disburse capital in weeks, not years. The Founder Exodus: An urgent look at why over 100 Indian AI founders have left for the Bay Area and how to bring the "next generation" back. Competitive Federalism: A candid comparison between the AI ambitions of Andhra Pradesh’s Chandrababu Naidu and the current state of Karnataka’s leadership. "The country which has the top AI is the country that's going to dominate the planet."
