"The world needs a new economic model for AI - where every user is a stakeholder"

Fact: India is home to 1.4 billion people and 16,000 languages.

Also fact: Indians type the least but still share the most content on social media.

Watch Pramod Varma, former Chief Architect of Aadhaar and pioneer of India's tech stack, argue that voice is the next paradigm of human interaction that will bring 500 million Indians into the transaction economy -- which AI will make happen. How AI will not only transcend language barriers, but also deliver minimum essentials like healthcare, education, knowledge in the country. And why a new economic model is needed in a country that is still more deprived than abundant.

In conversation with Shoma Chaudhury, Founder of Lucid Lines & Founder-Director, SYNAPSE at SYNAPSE 2025.
