Excellent conversation....Got to know about the thoughts about the Indian economy at present moment is really shocking!! and feels that India should rethink on economic growth as said by Dr.Subramanian Swamy... It was great learning !! to know the facts which was discussed in the interview and questions putforth by Kapil Sibal Ji... Respect Sirs!!!

[@himalaytehsin8979]

Thank you, The Wire. Three broad takeaways for someone like me who may not understand much about the complexities of the economy: 1. The service sector may be contributing a lot (21:09) but we need to grow in different sectors, and not just manufacturing but also to look at agriculture with a fresh perspective. 2. The suggestion regarding the MSMEs (26:25) and the couple of suggestions on Indian economy for 2024 and beyond (27:41) seem practical and feasible, should be considered by the government. 3. NASA (01:45) never did any research regarding use of Sanskrit. It was one Mr. Rick Briggs, who worked with that organisation and published a paper in 1985 in his own capacity. Briggs suggested that a 'natural language' can serve as an 'artificial language' also, and for which he gives examples from Sanskrit grammar, but he does not claim that that 'natural language' is Sanskrit. What is clear is that his paper titled 'Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence' was published in the spring issue of Artificial Intelligence magazine, which has nothing to do with NASA. As a viewer, therefore, I would like to focus on the other issues put forth by the discussants regarding the AI. Thank you.

What a delight to see 2 scholars , seasoned politicians, professionals and bold speakers on a same platform. These are the kind of politicians that India saw before 2014, who can contest against each other yet they can sit & exchange notes, bounce of their knowledge and opinions in the interest of country. Extracts and points taken from this discussion can create significant value if present ruling party is serious about growth and are concern about country’s current state. I must thank you for brining 2 brightest minds on WIRE. Looking forward to see many more. I believe attaining knowledge through reading books is one thing but listening to such conversation is absolutely a wholesome bucket full of knowledge and wisdom.

[@ManimaranS-d7y]

What I infer from this unique interview. Firstly, appreciate the way query put across by Mr Kabil was apt, fantastic and level playing. Started with AI and ended with unemployment solution MSME etc., - it's inversely proposnal. I remeber at this point of time how we lost Mr Raghuram Rajan - and reason how, why from where Mr Dos came from. The 80/20 formula apply less than 20 percent holds 80 percent of Indian Economy. Say India inc. it doesn't flow beyond that. It's clear India contribute for Global Economy like Amazon, Wallmart, Google, Apple on tax concessions. These 4 companies Revenue is more than Indian economy and then to India Inc. If this being a case how the per capita income will grow. Disappointment is both the legends failed/forgot/ignored about Indian Farming and it's Economy which was suppose to be the 68 percent contribution for our economy as it was ore independence.....anyway🎉😊😢...
