  "account": "The 17th edition of YourStory's TechSparks event in 2026 unveiled Tech30, a list of 30 startups shaping India's tech future. The event highlighted the growing ambition of Indian startups to develop their own technologies to address practical problems. AI was identified as a core topic across several discussions at the event, with Zoho Corp's Chief Scientist and Co-founder Sridhar Vembu predicting that AI may soon be able to write better code than 70% of software engineers, potentially doing better software than 90% of engineers in the near future. Despite the disruptive potential of AI, Vembu pointed out that 97% of India's population, who primarily consume technology rather than develop it, would remain largely unaffected. In a separate discussion, Karnataka's Minister for Home, IT, BT & E-Governance Priyank Kharge shared the state's plans to leverage AI responsibly in governance, setting up a committee to study its responsible use in areas such as citizen grievances, health, and mobility.",
