'Europe has lot of opportunities'
Bharat Forge has a large US exposure and is in talks with American buyers after import duties were slapped on Indian exports. While it is hopeful of the issue getting resolved, it will eye opportunities in Europe if there is no resolution, the company's vice-chairman and joint MD Amit Kalyani tells TOI. Excerpts: How will the tariffs impact your business? The US auto sector accounts for about 35-40% of our sales. Over the years, because of our defence businesses and other businesses in the EU, we have reduced our share of the US and reduced the risk, but it still remains a very important market. We have very strong and entrenched relations with our customers in the US as we have been supplying them for 30 years. We need to work with the customers on how we navigate this challenge. Everyone understands the push & pull and we will work jointly with customers. In the near term, there will be some demand issues due to the overhang of tariffs but we don't know if it will exacerbate or get resolved; no one knows the impact on profit and demand. When it comes to Indian exports to the US, the larger sectors in the non-IT and non-pharma space, such as textiles and garments, shoes, gems & jewellery-which are extremely fragmented-and large employers will have bigger and faster impact. These are also sectors which are very price sensitive. How do you address this challenge? The challenge can also be a growth opportunity. After all, India has the ambition to grow and create opportunities for the 1.4 billion citizens of the country. We need to accelerate the pace of employment in the long run. There is a risk in the short to medium term. But India and the US are not enemies and issues should get resolved, otherwise India has to look at other opportunities, which may take time. The greatest opportunity would be to look at building infrastructure at a faster pace and speed up large capital expenditure, which will also create jobs and make India more competitive. As a business, we always deal with issues that are within our control and as a country too we need to do that. What is the demand outlook? The first quarter has been weak and the second quarter will be similar. It will also depend on the impact (of tariffs) and how things play out over the next 10-15 days. We expect the second half to be better. What happens if the trade talks with the US don't yield results? There are a lot of opportunities in Europe... FTAs are a good starting point for engagement.

'50% is not tariff, it's an embargo'
Gokaldas Exports is among the largest players in the garments business, supplying goods to top global markets. The company's managing director Siva Ganapathi speaks to TOI over the impact and plans to tackle the 50% tariff imposed by the US on Indian goods. Excerpts: What will be the impact of the 50% additional tariff on Indian goods? Let's first understand the impact of the 20% tariff. Ultimately, the garment price has to increase and the customer has to pay. At the moment, there is a reluctance to increase prices for consumers, and buyers had asked us to absorb a portion of the initially imposed 10% tariff, which was shared with the entire supply chain, including those selling fabrics and spinners and the others. But 20% is too high to be absorbed by the supply chain. What this is going to do is force brands to consider pricing (-in the increase in tariff) and de-specing, something like shrinkflation, which means reducing some features to maintain the price with fewer features. For all practical purposes, 20% (tariff) is the new zero. There would be scope to increase some prices by next year. A 25% tariff on Indian goods can be managed and we can absorb it through some improvisation, although it is not desirable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo But 50% is not a tariff, it is an embargo. We will lose business. How do you combat this? Business will pivot to some other countries, we will try to move to some European markets, reduce capacity. That's the only way to counter it. It will require tremendous effort to find a solution to offset a 30% relative disadvantage (given 50% tariff on India). There has to be some give and take between India and the US. We hope that a rational outcome is found in the next two-three months and it comes close to 20%. If a solution is not found, the industry will be badly hit. India exports around $5 billion (worth of garments) to the US and it will not be easy for American buyers to overnight find this capacity in some other country. What should govt do to help the industry? It should speed up the FTA with the European Union, make sure that the UK agreement is implemented faster and clinch a deal with the US. In the interim, there should be some incentives for exports to the US to partly defray the costs, support the manpower in the sector and ensure their livelihood. After all, China does this to insulate its industry. The point is how do you stay in the game till a solution (with the US) is found. There can be some procedural changes which are pending for long, that will help reduce costs.

UAE: Dubai now inviting AI experts and companies to collaborate on building AI-driven government services
Applications for the second cycle of the AI Accelerator are open until 29 August 2025/ Image: X Dubai is inviting global AI innovators to co-design the next era of government services. With applications now open for the second cycle of its "Future of AI in Government Services Accelerator", the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) is offering a platform where cutting-edge technology meets public service transformation, part of a broader agenda to embed artificial intelligence across the city's institutions and sectors. Second cycle of AI Accelerator: What's new and what It offers The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) has officially begun accepting applications for the second edition of its 'Future of AI in Government Services Accelerator.' Organised in partnership with Dubai Future Accelerators, an initiative of the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), the programme is inviting both local and international tech innovators and AI-focused companies from around the world. This accelerator is designed to match private sector AI expertise with the needs of over 20 participating Dubai government entities. It targets four specific areas: Enhancing existing public services through AI-driven personalisation and efficiency. Creating new services that solve previously intractable challenges. Integrating AI into daily operations to drive internal government productivity. Making services more inclusive, particularly by developing solutions that break accessibility barriers. Programme details: Applications for the programme are open until 29 August 2025, with selected companies invited to join an intensive, eight-week engagement in Dubai from 6 October to 28 November 2025. Participants will be hosted on-site in Dubai, where they'll work directly with government teams, AI experts, and decision-makers on developing and deploying real solutions. The programme is designed to eliminate financial and operational barriers for participants. Startups will receive fully sponsored accommodation and travel, enabling them to focus entirely on innovation. Importantly, the accelerator takes no equity stake, ensuring companies retain full ownership of their intellectual property. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Participants will also benefit from direct access to senior government officials, along with daily collaboration alongside subject matter experts across relevant public sectors. This structure not only accelerates implementation but also opens up opportunities for longer-term partnerships within Dubai's evolving AI ecosystem. Saeed Al Falasi, Executive Director of DCAI, described the accelerator as a step toward building a city where AI makes public services faster, smarter, and more responsive. He stated that the programme aims to help place Dubai among the world's top cities in delivering agile, AI-powered public services, with quality of life, efficiency, and happiness at the centre. Outcomes from First Cycle Launched in 2024, the inaugural cycle attracted 615 companies from 55 countries, resulting in 183 defined AI use cases, of which 75 were piloted in real government environments. Over eight weeks, startups and government teams co-developed and tested AI applications tailored to public sector needs, signalling Dubai's serious commitment to applied innovation. Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence: Structure and purpose Founded in June 2023, the DCAI is a multi-agency initiative led by the Dubai Future Foundation, alongside the Digital Dubai Authority, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and the Dubai Media Council. It was launched under the direction of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and Chairman of DFF's Board of Trustees. DCAI's core mission is to scale AI across Dubai's government ecosystem. It operates along three strategic pillars: Legislation & Policy: Developing governance models, regulations, and ethical standards for responsible AI adoption. Awareness & Capacity-Building: Delivering AI literacy and training programs for civil servants and the wider public. Technology Adoption & Innovation: Partnering with startups, tech companies, and global institutions to deploy AI in real-world government use cases. A key part of DCAI's approach is to make AI trustworthy, inclusive, and beneficial for every segment of society—not just technologically advanced, but human-centered and ethically grounded. Expanding the ecosystem: From AI Seal to AI Week DCAI's AI accelerator is just one pillar of a broader strategy designed to turn Dubai into a global AI capital. Several major initiatives have been launched under this vision: Dubai AI Seal Introduced in January 2025, the Dubai AI Seal is a first-of-its-kind certification programme that identifies AI companies as trusted partners for government use. Companies awarded the seal receive a unique serial number and classification, which can be showcased across digital and marketing platforms. To work on UAE or Dubai government AI projects, certification under the AI Seal has become a mandatory requirement. This promotes trust and accountability in deploying advanced AI systems. One Million Prompters Unveiled in May 2024, this initiative aims to train one million people in the emerging discipline of AI prompt engineering over three years. Participants gain practical skills in crafting and optimising prompts for generative AI systems, a capability seen as foundational for the future digital workforce. The One Million Prompters initiative builds on the success of the Global Prompt Engineering Championship, launched under the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed in May 2024. Held at the Museum of the Future, it attracted participants from nearly 100 countries, with competitions in literature, art, and coding, awarding AED 1 million in prizes to promote generative AI leadership. The 2025 edition, hosted during Dubai AI Week, attracted over 3,800 participants from 125 countries, with 24 finalists from 16 nations competing live in Dubai. Winners included Abdulrahman Al Marzooqi (UAE) in Coding, Ibrahim Hajjo (Syria) in Video, Ibrahim Helmy (Canada) in Gaming, and Yahya Kaddoura (Palestine) in Art. Organised by DCAI and supported by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, the event awarded a share of AED 1 million in prizes and served as a key feature of Dubai's growing AI talent agenda. Dubai AI Academy Launched during Dubai AI Week 2025, the Academy aims to train 10,000 professionals—including government officials and business leaders, in AI leadership and application. Operated by DCAI, it is housed within the Dubai AI Campus at DIFC Innovation Hub. Educational content is delivered in collaboration with: Oxford Saïd Business School Udacity The Minerva Project The academy offers courses like AI for Civil Service and Leadership in the Age of AI , aimed at equipping leaders with the skills to apply AI strategically and responsibly. The curriculum combines technical knowledge with business and policy insights, aligning with the Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI and the DIFC 2030 Strategy. Dubai AI Week Launched in April 2025, Dubai AI Week, now in its second edition, is another flagship initiative of the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence, organised with the Dubai Future Foundation under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed. Held from 21 to 25 April across the Museum of the Future, Emirates Towers, and Madinat Jumeirah, the event featured over 180 sessions and workshops, more than 150 activations, delegations from 140+ countries, and participation from over 25 global technology companies. With headline events including the AI Retreat, Dubai Assembly for AI, Global Prompt Engineering Championship, AI Week in Schools Dubai AI Festival, and the Machines Can See conference, the week reinforced Dubai's position as a global hub for artificial intelligence, all aligned with the Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI. Dubai Future Foundation: The Strategic Backbone The Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) is the government entity responsible for shaping the city's long-term innovation agenda through emerging technologies, strategic foresight, and cross-sector collaboration. Established in 2016, the Foundation operates under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and serves as the umbrella organisation overseeing all initiatives, programmes, and projects driven by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI). From accelerators and AI academies to global certification schemes, talent development efforts, and flagship events like Dubai AI Week, DFF ensures every initiative is aligned with Dubai's broader transformation goals, particularly those outlined in the D33 Economic Agenda. Its role is not only to incubate future-ready programmes but also to embed governance, scalability, and ethical deployment into Dubai's AI ecosystem. Strategic alignment: D33 Agenda and the Universal Blueprint for AI All of these efforts, from accelerators to certifications and academies, fall under a unified vision set out in the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence. This overarching strategy aims to drive digital transformation and is aligned with the D33 Economic Agenda, which targets a AED 100 billion (USD 27 billion) annual contribution to GDP through AI and digital innovation. The Blueprint's goals include: Embedding AI into all strategic sectors Establishing AI and Web3 incubators Appointing Chief AI Officers in every government entity Launching AI Weeks in schools and universities Issuing commercial AI licences Allocating land for AI-ready data centres Delivering world-leading public services through AI integration The D33 plan positions Dubai as not only a leader in AI deployment but also in AI governance, education, talent development, and infrastructure.
