Agent economy has arrived: Can India leapfrog the platform era?
Not long ago, transformation meant thick slide decks, long timelines and consultants advising from the sidelines. They brought frameworks, not outcomes. Today, in a world shaped by generative and agentic AI, businesses are no longer looking for advisors. They're looking for co-creators: partners whose contribution is defined not through scale of people, but through scale of intelligence and an ability to rapidly deliver tangible business value. Independence Day 2025 Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji gave India its own currency Swadeshi 2.0: India is no longer just a market, it's a maker Agentic AI makes this shift possible. These systems don't just assist but act, learn and adapt within business workflows. They minimise manual intervention and integrate directly into enterprise environments. From onboarding and compliance to reconciliation and customer support, agents execute autonomously, continuously and intelligently. Importantly, this isn't the end of platforms. It's their evolution. Agentic AI thrives on strong digital infrastructure, data pipelines and system integration. Together, platforms and agents form intelligent environments where actions are automated and outcomes accelerated. This changes the game for India. India led the platform era, powered by deep engineering talent and global delivery scale. Now, that talent base becomes a launchpad. The agent economy rewards not just scale, but speed, accuracy and intelligence and calls for a reinvention of how technology is built, deployed and delivered. India's historic strength is application-level innovation. In an age of agentic AI, this is the crucial level - beyond chipset and large language model innovation - where business acceleration is unlocked and organisations can create the greatest value. It's where agentic AI comes alive: embedded in enterprise workflows, customised for real-world processes and scaled with precision. Live Events With a global high-end engineering backbone rooted in India, Publicis Sapient is deploying agentic AI to transform how businesses operate. Our proprietary Bodhi platform enables rapid agent deployment, while Sapient Slingshot and CoreAI, built on Bodhi, transform enterprise software development and marketing, respectively. Our India-based teams not only write code but orchestrate complex enterprise environments to make agents effective - in use cases from autonomous onboarding solutions for financial services to agents that manage regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical companies and streamline logistics for retailers. We've built agent-driven platforms that cut manual reconciliation by 80%, and helped Fortune 500 firms develop AI-native capabilities that evolve in real time. Our SPEED capabilities-strategy, product, experience, engineering, and data with AI-embeds agents into enterprise architecture where they act, learn and scale. To realise India's potential in the agent economy, three key shifts are needed. First, move from integration to orchestration. Agents can't function in silos. To be autonomous, they must be embedded within business logic and workflows-not layered onto legacy systems. Publicis Sapient's approach to system orchestration, rooted in domain expertise and agile delivery, shows how India-based teams can lead in building intelligent enterprises . Second, rethink how value is measured. In the agent economy, the traditional time-and-materials model gives way to value-based engagements. Success is defined by reducing onboarding time, improving compliance accuracy, and driving faster time to value through autonomous execution. Third, expect speed to match ambition. The era of 18-month timelines is over. AI-native delivery models allow for rapid prototyping, refinement, and deployment - in weeks, not quarters. The rise of agentic AI isn't just technological. It's philosophical. It raises the question 'what can AI agents do on their own and where do humans add the most unique value?' This mindset shift lets us redeploy human talent toward higher-value tasks: strategy, judgment, creativity and orchestration. India is uniquely positioned to lead this future. It has the scale, the talent and the mindset. If India commits to building the agentic layer of the enterprise, it won't just ride the next wave - it will define it.

Yes, the USA NEEDS INTEL, as Intel is the only American company…, says former Intel CEO Craig Barrett
FILE - The Intel logo is displayed on the exterior of Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., Jan. 12, 2011. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, File) Former Intel CEO Craig Barrett has outlined an urgent $40 billion rescue plan for the struggling chipmaker, arguing that America's semiconductor independence depends on immediate customer investment as the company faces mounting pressure over its current leadership's China ties. "Yes, the USA NEEDS INTEL, as Intel is the only US company capable of providing state of the art logic manufacturing," Barrett wrote in an exclusive Fortune commentary published Monday. "Neither Samsung or TSMC plan to bring their state of the art manufacturing to the US in the near term." Barrett's intervention comes as President Trump demands current CEO Lip-Bu Tan 's resignation over alleged conflicts of interest with Chinese companies, while four former Intel board members call for splitting the company in two. Cash-rich customers must fund Intel's semiconductor revival by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Back Pain Treatments That Might Surprise You! Back Pain Treatment | Search Ads Undo Barrett proposes that eight major Intel customers – including Nvidia , Apple , and Google – each invest $5 billion to secure America's chip manufacturing future. "Intel is cash poor and can't afford to invest in the capacity needed in the future to replace TSMC or even a reasonable fraction of TSMC capacity," he stated in the Fortune piece. The former CEO dismissed current leadership's cautious approach to new technology investment. "The current Intel CEO's comments about not investing in new technology (14A) until customers sign up is a joke," Barrett wrote. "To win in this space you need to be the leader in technology not the follower." Barrett argued that major tech companies should invest for "domestic supply, second source, national security, leverage in negotiating with TSMC" benefits, suggesting the government could catalyze action with tariffs on advanced semiconductor imports. Trump administration could impose chip import tariffs The rescue plan envisions presidential intervention through trade policy. "IF THE USG GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER, they catalyze the action with a 50% (or whatever number Trump picks) tariff on state of the art semi imports," Barrett wrote, comparing potential semiconductor protection to existing steel and aluminum tariffs. Barrett criticised calls from "four former wise board members" to split Intel before allowing customer investment, calling such restructuring an unnecessary complication. "Be serious. There are many company interactions that involve both supply and competition," he argued in the Fortune commentary. His proposed timeline is aggressive: "POTUS and DoC can set the stage, the customers can make the necessary investments, the Intel Board can finally do something positive for the company, and we stop writing opinion pieces on the topic." In a surprising development, President Trump appears to have softened his stance on Intel's current leadership. After initially demanding CEO Lip-Bu Tan's "immediate" resignation over alleged China conflicts, Trump posted Monday that his White House meeting with Tan was "very interesting" and called the executive's career "an amazing story." The president announced that Tan and cabinet members would continue discussions next week, suggesting a more collaborative approach to addressing Intel's challenges. AI Masterclass for Students.
