3 Things Dheeraj Sudan and Meenu Hinduja
Explained about the India-EU AI Alliance
In case 2025 had been the year of AI experiments, 2026 is the year of AI implementation.
Dheeraj Sudan and Meenu Hinduja Co-Founders of MHDS Techno Soft explained that A
new strategic reality is established following the recently held AI Impact Summit in New
Delhi. The India-Europe corridor has become the most interesting technology alliance in
the world. The following are the three largest lessons of a week that transformed the
landscape of the digital world.
The Mother of All Deals Meets Future of All Tech
The completed India-EU FTA was the unseen guest on all the tables. French President
Emmanuel Macron and Dutch PM Dick Schoof have been making it explicit that AI is the
glue to this new economic era. By standardizing Indian production to the EU regulatory
standards, the two quarters are developing a colossal, strong-release to the old US-China
duopoly in tech.
Microsoft bets Global South on $50B
The largest of the bombshells of the week was made by Microsoft as Brad Smith, the
company president, confirmed that by 2030 the company is set to invest in the Global
South to the tune of 50 billion dollars. A major part of this is set aside in infrastructure and
skilling of India. Meenu Hinduja and Dheeraj Sudan explained the goal: To overcome the socalled AI divide and guarantee that a farmer in rural Kenya or an entrepreneur in Kerala has
equal access to compute power to a developer in Silicon Valley.
AI for the "Planet and People"
The chakras-seven framework of the summit emphasized that the AI mission of India is
highly inclusive in nature.
Kisan e-Mitra: Artificial Intelligence chatbot that already serves millions of farmers.
Bhashini: Categorizing language barriers by taking tribal and regional dialects online.
AI in Cities: How deep tech can be used in air quality and disaster management.
What’s Next?
Dheeraj Sudan and Meenu Hinduja believes that the New Delhi Declaration, which was
adopted on the last day, is no mere piece of paper; it is a roadmap of inclusive governance.
The momentum cannot be denied by the fact that Switzerland has already volunteered to
host the next summit. India has been in the lead and this time around; the Global South is
leading.
