(Don't miss the glorious seething of wiggers under the tweet)

Heavy reliance on agriculture and IT software servicing has brought India to this point. Certainly this next couple of years will see a shock to both sectors.

They do still have one major export left that they can and will fall back on - Indians.

I hear such funny takes since AI came into being (mostly hopium and copium) Meanwhile Indian IT firms are signing billion dollar deals left and right. For TCS alone this year they signed $1B with Porsche, $800 million with SKF, $600 mil with Tryg Norway. This is one firm then there is Wipro, HCL, Infosys et al who signed multibillion dollar deals.

Gabriel India forms JV with South Korea's HL Klemove for autonomous driving technology

Damn, Gabriel India and South Korea’s HL Klemove are basically bringing the whole ADAS electronics stack to India: radar, front cameras, LiDAR, automated driving and parking control units plus the software that runs them. They’ll also make brake and steering ECUs, chassis control units and torque sensors. This is pretty unusual for India’s auto-component industry.

No fun. Doomsday only in theaters?

The discussion has become less “interesting” because many of the things that were once dismissed as hype or trolling are now becoming established facts. India’s economic growth is broadly accepted, billions of dollars in FDI are no longer headline news, exports are approaching the $1 trillion mark, and defence exports have reached 4.6 billion dollar a level that is increasingly significant in the security context of China and Pakistan.

When a trend becomes firmly established, there is simply less room for the old arguments about whether it is happening at all. The debate naturally shifts from “Is India actually developing?” to “How far can India take it, and what does it mean strategically?”

Maybe that’s why the thread feels boring now—reality has taken away some of the space for trolling.
