Why the message emerging from Summer Davos 2026 in China matters far more to a bamboo entrepreneur in Assam or a handloom producer in Nagaland than most people realise. When nearly 1,800 global leaders, policymakers, economists and technology executives gathered in the Chinese coastal city of Dalian last week for the 2026 Annual Meeting of…
For the better part of the last three years, India has been celebrating what is arguably one of the country’s biggest technological success stories. Digital payments have exploded across the economy. Unified Payments Interface, better known as UPI, has transformed the way Indians transact, making the country one of the world’s largest real-time digital payments…
There was a time when nations measured their strength by the size of their armies, the scale of their industries, or the abundance of natural resources they controlled. That era is quietly ending. In the emerging global order, one new asset is rapidly becoming the ultimate determinant of economic power, national competitiveness, and strategic influence…
We have seen an interesting pattern for nearly three decades. Every year, technology became better, faster, smarter and, more importantly, cheaper. Mobile phones that once cost a fortune gradually became affordable to millions. Personal computers became household essentials. Televisions became smarter while becoming less expensive. The entire world grew accustomed to a simple assumption —…
The AI Learning Revolution Has Begun — NVIDIA and Microsoft Just Opened the Gates for Everyone For the last couple of years, one argument dominated conversations around Artificial Intelligence: “AI is only for engineers, coders, and big technology companies.” That assumption is collapsing fast. In a major shift that could reshape the future of work…
For decades, India has built world-class software products and earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading technology service hubs. Yet, behind this digital success story lies an uncomfortable reality. Much of the infrastructure powering the modern digital economy — servers, cloud architecture, and high-performance computing systems — has largely remained dependent on foreign…
Can India Build Global AI Chips—and Is the AI Boom Becoming a Bubble? India’s semiconductor ambitions are often discussed in terms of factories, investments and government incentives. But there is another side to the story. Factories manufacture chips. Intellectual property creates value. As India builds fabrication plants in Gujarat, assembly and testing facilities in Assam,…
Artificial Intelligence is often associated with coding, image generation, or futuristic robots. However, some of the most useful AI tools today are surprisingly practical. They help people write better, organize information, improve communication, and even create presentations without spending hours staring at a blank screen. This week, The Quantiq explores five AI tools that can…
From Dholera to Morigaon and Bhubaneswar: Building India’s Silicon Geography For decades, India participated in the global semiconductor industry primarily as a source of engineering talent. Indian engineers designed chips for global companies. They built software tools, managed research centres and powered innovation pipelines. Yet the physical infrastructure of the semiconductor economy largely existed elsewhere….
How NVIDIA, TSMC, and ASML Came to Control the World’s Most Strategic Industry Oil powered the twentieth century. Semiconductors are powering the twenty-first. Every AI model, smartphone, electric vehicle, fighter aircraft, satellite, data centre and industrial robot depends on tiny silicon chips that most people never see. Yet these chips have become so strategically important…
