Anas Rahman Junaid, Founder and Chief Researcher, Hurun India, feels that The diaspora is not just taking part in the AI revolution; it is leading it. “The reach of Global Indians is something most people experience without realising it. Whether you search on Google, watch a video on YouTube, send a message on WhatsApp, work on Microsoft Windows, ship a parcel with FedEx or use a Procter & Gamble product at home, the company behind it is led by someone of Indian origin. These are not companies we only read about; they are companies we use every day,” Junaid said.
