India’s emerging artificial intelligence agenda is increasingly being framed not as a contest between machines and people, but as a test of whether technology can be paired with sound judgment, accountable leadership and disciplined execution. The central policy message is clear: AI may accelerate decision-making, but its public value will depend on institutions that can translate capability into reliable governance outcomes.

Kotak AMC Managing Director Nilesh Shah has pointed to Hindustan Zinc as a case study in how strategic divestment, paired with a retained government stake, can create enduring public wealth. He said the Centre’s remaining holding in the company is now worth more than Rs 62,000 crore and voiced hope that IDBI Bank’s privatisation process could generate similar value for the exchequer.
