Mr. Pradeip Agarwal, Co- Founder & CRO, Stratbeans, A leading provider of AI-driven learning and assessment solutions.
Budget 2026–27 signals that AI adoption in India is moving into the scale phase. With a ₹1 lakh crore commitment towards research, innovation, and emerging technologies, the focus is clearly shifting from pilots to enterprise-wide execution. The winners will be organisations that go beyond isolated use-cases and build AI capability across people, process, and performance. This isn’t just about skilling; it’s about redesigning workflows, strengthening governance, and embedding AI into day-to-day operations to unlock measurable productivity and quality gains. The next advantage will come from execution, how quickly businesses can turn AI intent into repeatable outcomes across functions.
Dhananjay Goel, Managing Director, Enlight Metals Pvt Ltd, India’s Fastest-Growing Ai Metal Aggregation Startups.
“Budget 2026 ignites India’s metal ecosystem with precision. The East-West Dedicated Freight Corridor slashes logistics costs, syncing demand velocity with supply chains. The CIE scheme sparks demand for high-grade steel in domestic machinery. AI-driven Digital Knowledge Grid tackles opaque pricing and fragmented sourcing. Carbon Capture Strategy and CBAM norms make green steel a compliance must—reshaping export chains. At 4.3% fiscal deficit and ₹12.2 lakh crore capex, it’s a connector’s blueprint: faster rails, smarter tech, sustainable materials fueling ‘Viksit Bharat’ from furnace to factory.”
