BY

In this webcast, we discuss the transport energy options for India. The government of India intends to pursue Electric Vehicles with aggression, both to help India meet its Climate Change commitments, as also to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels in the post corona era. But is it what India needs? Are the necessary raw materials for batteries accessible in both the near and short term? Can India readily abandon oil, now cheap and from a region which gives jobs to our expatriate population?

Taking the artificial out of AI

BY

India’s expansion of its capability in Artificial Intelligence (AI) depends on how eclectically it can bring together indigenous philosophies and the natural sciences, the bedrock of AI. India’s philosophical riches and its unique approach to the natural sciences can enrich global comprehension not only of natural and artificial intelligence, but also the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence

Deepening bilateral ties

BY

The deepening Indo-U.S. bilateral over the last two decades has resulted in a depth of economic and strategic relations. Bilateral trade is now $160 billion annually, and set to grow. Defence dominates the strategic partnership and therefore the economic engagement. The exciting new areas of alliance are technology, energy and space. There are surely differences between the two democracies, but these are aired publicly and restored through negotiations. For in a rapidly changing world, the strength of the partnership now and in the future, depends on collaboration. Gateway House has an extensive repository of primary research, analysis and reporting on the Indo-U.S. bilateral, addressing issues such as trade, technology exchange and defence cooperation.
