Being the largest single technology endeavor in recent history, the Stargate Project will have a notable influence on the budding AI market, and in TBR’s opinion, no company stands to benefit more than OpenAI. OpenAI’s ultimate goal is to reach AGI, which the company defines as “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.” While estimates about when OpenAI will reach this goal vary widely, the Stargate Project fulfills a critical requirement in the pursuit of AGI, making OpenAI a top contender to reach AGI before other firms.

Setting the stage for an India-centric discussion, TBR met with PwC India leaders for a discussion about the post-pandemic shift in perspectives on opportunities within the India market, based on India’s economic growth and the growth of international companies’ global captive centers. Increasingly, according to Gayal and Gomes, decision makers for global companies reside in India, which is influencing talent management, supply operations and growth opportunities.

PwC’s fundamental value proposition around trust and client intimacy reflects the firm’s strong governance, risk and compliance (GRC), cybersecurity and technology capabilities. TBR views risk and cybersecurity offerings as natural enablers for client discussions around business model reinvention and — when complemented by credible customer zero use cases across multiple domains, including AI — an extension of trust throughout a client’s ecosystem.
