Great initiative, but I hope the discussions focus on practical applications for common people, not just high-level talks. AI should solve real problems in agriculture, healthcare, and education in rural India too.

Seeing Sundar Pichai there is a proud moment for every Indian. From an IITian to leading Google and now shaping global AI policy at a summit in Delhi – what a journey!

Bharat Mandapam is the perfect venue for this. It's good that after G20, we are continuing to use our infrastructure to host world-class events. This boosts our global standing and the local economy.

While the summit is a positive step, I sincerely hope the outcomes are transparent and the benefits trickle down. We need strong ethical frameworks for AI developed in India, by Indians, for the world.
