SynopsisIt is 2030. India is among the world's top three economies. All Indians use the
cloud, artificial intelligence and automated learning to either do their job or get
their job done. All Indians have access to quality jobs, better healthcare and
skill-based education. Technology and human beings coexist in a mutually
beneficial ecosystem.
This reality is possible. It is within reach. With Bridgital.
In this groundbreaking book, the chairman of Tata Sons, N. Chandrasekaran
presents a powerful vision for the future. To the coming disruption of artificial
intelligence, he proposes an ingenious solution, where India is perfectly
positioned to pave a unique path from the rest of the world. Instead of accepting
AI as an inevitable replacement for human labour, India can use it as an aid;
instead of taking them away, AI can generate jobs.
Chandrasekaran and his co-author, Roopa Purushothaman, survey the country
for inspirational stories of resilience and determination, and seek the ideal way
to bring Indians closer to their dreams. Through on-ground application of the
dynamic technology called 'Bridgital', they show how Indians can be connected
across the country, creating a network of services to be delivered where they are
most required. This brilliant, cutting-edge solution will address India's biggest
challenges by bridging the huge chasm between rural and urban communities,
the different levels of education and medical access, and between aspirations
and achievement. From healthcare to education to business, the model can be
applied in various sectors, and, by a conservative estimate, it can create and
impact 30 million jobs by 2025.
One of the country's foremost industry leaders and pioneers, N. Chandrasekaran
brings his expertise of over thirty years with the Tata Group to offer a blueprint
for building a prosperous India, where everyone is included in the growth story.
