Core Map

AI should create citizens who own, not just workers who adapt.

My central map is simple: as AI lowers the cost of intelligence and labour, India should design ownership before the transition hardens. The question is not only who builds the models. It is who gets the dividend.

01

Universal Basic Equity & the National AI Dividend Trust

If machines work, humans must own. A National AI Dividend Trust, built on India's public digital rails, could route the upside of the AI economy to citizens as equity, not welfare.

02

Intelligence as a public utility

AI will matter most when it is available like electricity or roads: multilingual, voice-first, cheap to access and useful for the last person in the queue.

03

India's advantage is deployment

The frontier model race is only one layer. India's real test is whether AI can work across languages, densities, frictions and everyday public systems.

04

AI is also heavy industry

Behind every elegant AI interface sits power, cooling, data centres, semiconductors, fibre and capital. The future is digital, but its constraints are very physical.

Signals of Abundance

Building a vocabulary for the coming abundant future.

I am building a public vocabulary for the coming abundant future: how work, money, health, creativity and policy change when intelligence becomes cheap and widely available.

"The real question is not only what AI can do. It is who owns the upside."

Abundance as a Lived Experiment

I try to live the future I write about.

For me, abundance is not only a concept. It is also a way of designing a life with more learning, health, creativity, freedom and play.

  • Single-person AI company

    I am building a single-person AI company to understand what changes when AI becomes a real operating partner, not just software.

  • Watercolor & works on paper

    Watercolor keeps me close to craft and attention. You can see the work at Works on Paper.

  • Movement & longevity

    I am designing for a 150-year life: Iyengar yoga, swimming, walking, food experiments, rest and routines that compound.

  • Science fiction buff

    I read, watch and write sci-fi. Two stories live on my Substack, and the genre helps me think in futures rather than forecasts.

  • Dance

    I learn Bollywood and semi-classical dancing to keep learning new ways of movement, and to stay light on my feet.

  • Curious travel

    I often travel solo to far-off, offbeat destinations and experiences. It gives me new reference points for how people live, build, move and imagine the future.
