A lot needs to be known about AI, but we know one thing for sure: No, your toasters won't unionise and stage a coup (most probably). On a serious note, the budgetary allocation towards the India AI Mission heralds a positive sign, facilitating the resources needed to predict, understand, and manage AI. This article, by Jagriti Arora, understands these levers in detail. #AI #AIRevolution #Technology #TechPolicy #HumanCentricTech #OMIFoundation Aishwarya Raman | Apoorv Kulkarni | Aishwarya Agarwal | Anish Michael | Akhilesh Mahadevan | Madhumitha V |Neha Gupta | Pradeep Karuturi | Prakash Gupta | Roshan Toshniwal | Shaan -

Scaling e-rickshaw operations in India is like solving a jigsaw puzzle without the reference picture. It's slow, but piece-by-piece, you start seeing the big picture. E-rickshaws are a part of a fragmented market, where each operator faces a unique set of choices. To make sense of the larger operations, it's important to understand the unit economics that influence these individual decisions. By examining what each e-rickshaw operator spends and makes, we can start to see the bigger picture emerge. This #FirstPrinciplesFirst unpacks the complexities of the e-rickshaw ecosystem, one operator at a time.

🌟 Major Healthcare Overhaul in the Works! 🌟 Exciting news! Major discussions are underway to double the beneficiary base of the beneficiary base under the Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PM-JAY) in the coming years. This groundbreaking move could extend healthcare coverage to more than two-thirds of our nation! 🇮🇳✨ Her Excellency President Droupadi Murmu, in her address to the joint sitting of Parliament on June 27, 2024, announced that the elderly above 70 years will also be covered. 👵👴 But that's not all! Deliberations are underway to finalize a proposal to double the coverage limit from the current Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. This crucial step aims to combat soaring healthcare costs and provide families with much-needed relief for high-cost treatments like cancer and surgeries. 🏥💪 At OMI Foundation, we believe in inclusive growth and social security for all. We strongly advocate for the extension of AB-PM-JAY benefits to our hardworking platform workers by easing the inclusion criteria. These dedicated individuals drive the growth of the platform economy Join us in supporting sustainable social security and the welfare of platform workers. Together, we can make a difference! 💙 let's build a future where every migratory platform worker is safeguarded! 💪 #FutureOfWork #SocialProtection #PlatformEconomy #SustainableWelfare #WorkerWelfare 🔗 http://surl.li/pfjuqs Aishwarya Raman | Apoorv Kulkarni | Prakash Gupta | Shaan - | Jagriti Arora | Akhilesh Mahadevan | Anish Michael | Roshan Toshniwal
