  • Two hours to delete unpalatable AI content. But how enforceable are short takedown deadlines?

    Two hours to delete unpalatable AI content. But how enforceable are short takedown deadlines?
    Feb 16 2026
    In this episode of the Mint Techcetra podcast, our host Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talk about the two most significant developments shaping the future of technology and regulation in India.The conversation begins with a critical look at the IT Rules 2026, where new amendments have introduced the world's strictest content removal timelines. We discuss the practical challenges platforms face with the two hour takedown mandate for deepfakes and non-consensual imagery, and whether a seven day grievance redressal period is enough to ensure true accountability.We then shift focus to the upcoming India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. With global tech leaders like Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, and Satya Nadella in attendance, we explore India's strategic pivot toward Small Language Models (SLMs). Instead of chasing trillion-parameter foundational models, India is betting on indic languages, frugal innovation, and expanding its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to become a global hub for AI applications.

  • Why IMF perception about India being a ‘Second-Tier’ AI Player, needs a revisit

    Why IMF perception about India being a ‘Second-Tier’ AI Player, needs a revisit
    Jan 23 2026
    “Instead of arguing about Tier-1 or Tier-2, the real question is whether AI will actually benefit 1.44 crore people.” In this episode of Mint Techcetra, we begin with IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw pushing back against the IMF’s ‘second-tier AI’ label for India, and ask whether this whole idea of ranking countries into AI tiers is even useful anymore. From Stanford’s AI rankings to India’s growing ecosystem of foundational models, local language datasets, voice AI, chips, and data centre infrastructure, we discuss why India is often called an applications hub and whether that makes it any less of an AI innovator. Is the world judging India by the right parameters, or is the tier debate just a distraction from what’s actually being built? The conversation then moves from national ambition to workplace reality, as we unpack findings from the Randstad Workmonitor 2026. Why do employees believe AI is boosting productivity and shareholder value but not necessarily their own outcomes? Why are many workers turning to AI for advice instead of their managers, even while claiming they have strong manager relationships? From the growing “AI reality gap” to questions around trust, reskilling, and execution, this episode connects India’s AI with what it means on the ground and whether this transition is really inclusive, or just efficient.
