In in our estimation at Geo, I think AI is the biggest technology change that we have seen. In our lifetime till date and it is in my view it is the engine that will empower India to grow at 10% or double digit growth numbers for the foreseeable future. So we continue to we what we have to really do to do it. I think the three fundamental blocks that we have to do to enable us in that AI leadership moment, I think to continue to invest in AI infrastructure. AI data centers that are completely ready that can scale worldwide scale for India at millions and millions of users. At Geo, we are already doing that. We recently announced in Jamnagar that we’re building our AI data center, which will be a GW capacity data center. But continuing to invest at the infrastructure level, the second and third thing actually go quite jointly is the research and development part of AI Today. At Geo, we’ve already invested in our overall full stack AI team, which is led by data scientists, researchers. And engineers to be 1000 plus. The critical element in this, I feel, is also to foster new ideas and push the boundaries of development, right? It’s not too far away where we will have a groundbreaking idea that we’ll have half a billion people on one platform coming out of India. And I think that’s really what I think will take us to, to have that AI leadership. I think we’ve already showcased to the world in connectivity that we can be the leaders of technology, not just be fast followers. I mean, you mentioned it in your opening note that not too long ago, I mean back to 2015, which is just 10 years ago, Internet speeds were less than one MB in this country, whether it be at on the mobile or on at the home. But today everyone continues to enjoy very high data speeds. And so I think for my EI point of view is these three critical items that we need to focus on. First, let me ask you a lot of people. Talk about AI and they say that it’s gonna take jobs away. Do you think AI will get rid of a lot of jobs? Do you think we need to be worried about the amount of jobs that will have to be removed because I will replace them? I I think. At the invent of any new technology, this has always been a big kind of shift that jobs are gonna be taken away. I’m a firm believer that AI will transform jobs Today we’ve seen AI take over our mundane tasks, our repetitive tasks. I have Esha and shloka here that have founded a new preschool in in Bombay called Little Nest. I was on the joke. I was preschool I was. I was telling them that while you’re listening to me, please do not start talking about Little Nest. Just listen to me. But the the one thing that they have also been able to do is, you know, really create the value. For the student, because of the repetitive mundane jobs like, you know, scheduling has been taken over with AI and we see that as a definite, you know. Shift at Geo like a small example. Today we monitor our network that now covers about 95% of the living population of India. Before, before that, you know, we had to do it across systems. Today we can proactively monitor and before even a customer has a bad experience, we can predict it. And this is just not, you know, something that is this is again, instead of deepening dwellings deep into the data, figuring out what the consumer does. The patterns are being picked up by ML engineers, AI engineers to kind of spend the time to actually solve the problem, then finding out what the problem is. So that’s one way that we prepared for it at. This is already happening, yeah.
