Deepak Shenoy, Founder, Capital Mind, says from April 2nd, universally the reciprocal tariffs are in place. Given that, the next month is going to be volatile regardless of what happens. But I find that in markets, price uncertainty affects badly. That means markets just go down regardless of what the fundamentals might turn up. Stability will come only with some layer of certainty. We should look at the rest of this month and maybe the first few days of April as going to be tumultuous in the markets regardless. What do you make of the markets right now because the week gone by has been really good, but then comes Monday. Indeed, a volatile trading session. But given this weakness that we are seeing right now, what is your sense? Is this volatility here to stay? And what is the long-term trend that you are focusing on? Deepak Shenoy: There is a weakening trend in general. The rupee has weakened as well today, 20 odd paisa. There has also been a reversal in the market. But I feel this is mostly related to the uncertainty at a global standpoint because nothing meaningful in India has changed so far. One of the biggest threats right now is tariffs and what we will do to perhaps address them.

Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani has criticised the trend of developing increasingly complex artificial intelligence (AI) models, arguing that this does not necessarily lead to better results. Speaking at the People+AI Mela in Bengaluru, he expressed concern over how many AI models remain closed systems, hidden from public scrutiny. “They keep doing more of that, but it is not that it is going to get any better. They are all typically kept within the four walls of a company. It is like a black box for the rest of us,” Nilekani said, as reported by The Economic Times. This lack of transparency, he warned, is limiting innovation and preventing broader contributions to AI development.
