New opinion piece in @IndianExpress draws on UNHDR 2025 and argues how AI acts like a mirror, reflecting and amplifying the values, structures, and inequalities of the societies that shape it. Happy to hear thoughts. @UNDP @UNDP_India @pedrotconceicao @UN indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

My new article, "The Chimera Called AI Hub" in TheWire.in, argues how AI hubs risk becoming vast data pipelines feeding Big Tech’s global models while the data of Indian citizens, institutions power algorithms monetised elsewhere, amplifying digital colonialism.

@ShashiTharoor This is not in good taste. Unless this was deliberate. How is it that a person of such sophisticated language skills, doesn't know that emphasising "bihari" before driver would never send the right kind of message?

Happy #Chhatt Puja to all! My Bihari driver’s family brought prasad and blessings during my morning tea

Hype-based narratives on emerging technologies are a form of power grab to preemptively close the debate and prevent democratic deliberations. Wrote for @360info_global 360info.org/piping-down-th…

A wonderful article by Naseeruddin Shah. I entirely subscribe to his views. We were, fortunately, insulated from bigotry. I find the same wonderful ethos in my interaction with most Army colleagues. There will always be some who are different because of the anonymity of WhatsApp

@realDonaldTrump there's no need for parody accounts of this guy

Thank you Ashoka for consistently proving that you are 4.5 star hotel masquerading as university.

@Prof_Nishith_P @Shantanu__K @NU_PolicySchool Nostalgic!

Finally got the time to celebrate this acceptance at Journal of Development Economics with an #incredible colleague (probably the best I have ever had), co-author & a dear friend (at least that’s how I feel about him) @Shantanu__K today @NU_PolicySchool! Dosa & chocolate!

@JohnHolbein1 From "paper accepted" to "paper published online" will need rebirth
