Recently, Snap introduced its latest AR glasses, Specs, taking another big step into augmented reality. The technology looks exciting. But one question immediately came to my mind: Are consumers actually ready for it? Why This Matters AR glasses promise experiences that go beyond smartphones. They could help users: View digital information in real time Navigate more easily Interact with AI assistants Enjoy immersive entertainment It sounds impressive. But new technology also needs to fit naturally into people's daily lives. The Bigger Challenge Innovation alone does not guarantee success. Consumers also care about: Price Comfort Battery life Practical use cases If people do not find enough everyday value, even advanced technology can struggle to gain widespread adoption. I have also shared a deeper thought leadership perspective on how spatial computing and wearable technology could reshape consumer experiences on Medium. What I Find Interesting...

Recently, I came across news that Supabase doubled its valuation to $10 billion in a relatively short period. What I found interesting is that this growth reflects more than just investor excitement. It highlights how powerful the combination of open-source software and AI-driven development is becoming. Why Open Source Matters Many modern startups depend on open-source tools because they offer: Faster development Lower costs Greater flexibility Strong developer communities Open-source platforms allow companies to innovate without starting from scratch. That is one reason why developer-focused products continue to attract attention. The Bigger Trend At the same time, AI is changing how software gets built. Developers now have access to: AI coding assistants Automated testing tools Faster prototyping workflows This means more applications can be created faster than ever before. And when more applications are built, the demand for infrastructure platforms gr...

When I first saw Google’s announcement about a ₹199 AI Plus plan in India, I didn’t think about competition. I thought about access. Over the years, I’ve learned that pricing often tells a deeper story than product launches or feature updates. It reveals who a company wants to invite into the conversation - and who it’s willing to wait on. This move felt intentional. Access Changes Behavior Before It Changes Markets In my work with institutions and early-stage companies, I’ve seen this pattern repeat: When a tool becomes affordable, people stop “trying” it - and start using it. That shift matters. Students experiment. Small teams integrate it into daily workflows. Professionals build habits around it. And once habits form, innovation follows naturally. Why Emerging Markets Are Where the Real Learning Happens India is often described as a cost-sensitive market, but I see it differently. It’s a feedback-rich market . Users here are practical. They quickly decide whether something adds...
