In the last few years, India's real estate boom has had one big fallout, affordable and mid-income housing. Homes that working salaried families can actually afford have nearly vanished. Now, ask any developer and you'll hear the same complaint, there's simply no margins left in building middle class projects. Now, according to Anarock Research, in 2018, over 52% of new homes in India's top seven cities were priced under 50 lakh rupees. By 2025, that number has fallen to just 17%.Now on the other hand, in the same period between 2018 to 2025, there's been a massive 170% increase in luxury home sales costing three crores and upwards. The Anarock report actually concludes with this very powerful line. It says India's real estate market now clearly favours the rich.But there ARE things that can be done about it.

The DGCA’s penalty on IndiGo after massive December flight disruptions has sparked sharp debate across the aviation industry.

Despite this, the stock surged, raising further questions about accountability and regulatory deterrence.

Partnered: In this powerful and deeply introspective podcast episode, we sit down with Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, a business technologist with over 207 patents, decades of leadership across global Fortune 500 companies like Walmart, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Disney, and a radically different philosophy on how artificial intelligence should be built, deployed, and governed.Shekhar’s mornings begin at 4 a.m., not with emails, investor decks, or lines of code, but with classical Indian Tanjore painting, patiently layering gold leaf onto canvas, one meticulous step at a time. It is an unusual ritual for someone building cutting-edge AI systems, but for Shekhar, this discipline is not a contradiction. It is a reminder that meaningful creation, whether art or technology, demands patience, intention, and restraint.This episode goes far beyond surface-level conversations around “ethical AI” or “responsible innovation.” Shekhar introduces a compelling concept he calls Angelic Intelligence, which refers to systems designed not just to avoid harm, but to actively do good. In a world where speed, scale, and efficiency are rewarded above all else, he challenges listeners to ask a more uncomfortable question: What happens when machines optimise faster than humans can reflect on the consequences?Drawing from a life shaped by poverty, immigration, corporate power, and personal loss, Shekhar reflects candidly on the true cost of success. He speaks openly about building technologies that increased efficiency while eliminating thousands of jobs, and the moral reckoning that followed. In chasing optimisation, he realised, humanity often becomes an afterthought. These experiences eventually pushed him to walk away from conventional corporate success and build something fundamentally different.The discussion also addresses one of the most uncomfortable questions facing technologists today: What if profit-first AI wins? What if systems built purely for speed and efficiency outcompete value-driven models? Shekhar’s response is neither naive optimism nor philosophical detachment. Instead, he speaks about building structures, like ownership models, incentives, and governance frameworks, that protect values even within a capitalist system. His belief is clear: capital may own companies, but it should never own values.As the episode unfolds, listeners are invited to reconsider what “ethical AI” really means. According to Shekhar, avoiding harm is not the same as doing good. Ethical AI may stop damage, but Angelic Intelligence aims to amplify human goodness, like empathy, fairness, dignity, and compassion, especially for those who are invisible to systems optimised only for efficiency.Follow Shekhar Natarajan on social media to learn more about him and his take on today’s tech world:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shekharnatarajanofficialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Shekharnatarajanofficial/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tomorrowtodayshowbysrn #ShekharNatarajan#OrchestroAI#AILeadership#EthicalAI#AngelicIntelligence#FutureOfAI#HumanCentricAI#TechLeadership#AIPhilosophy#StartupFounders#Fortune500#PodcastInterview#IndianLeaders#PurposeDrivenTech

Indian roads may soon get a major safety upgrade. The government plans to mandate Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication technology by 2026, allowing cars to “talk” to each other in real time to warn drivers of collision risks. Announced by Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, the system works without internet, using onboard units that exchange safety signals between nearby vehicles. Designed to tackle some of India’s deadliest crash scenarios—rear-end collisions, fog-related pile-ups and blind-spot accidents—V2V could cut road accidents by up to 50% if deployed effectively.
