CEA Says India's Lack of AI Focus in Equities Could Become Strength Within Year
Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran stated that India's lack of focus on artificial intelligence (AI) in equities, which has contributed to foreign investor selloffs, could become a strength within a year. He suggested that if the global AI boom falters, investors may shift to India's strong economic fundamentals and growth prospects. Despite pressures on the rupee and external challenges, India’s manageable current account deficit and robust banking system support this outlook, with a potential 'second mover advantage' in AI development.
