AI Will Be As Big As Internet And Mobile

Prince Kapoor, 29, is the quintessential young Indian entrepreneur, bouncing with ambition and ideas. A little over three years ago, the Cofounder of Chennai-based start-up Plush got on to Google Display Network (or GDN, which are ads that show up on articles, websites and videos that consumers browse). Estimated to reach over 90 per cent of internet users, GDN allows ads to reach their audience at various points— while they surf the internet, watch a video, or even view emails. It is a cost-effective option known to work well for brands, especially those with limited budgets. “This was a better way to allocate capital,” says Kapoor, whose firm sells women’s health and wellness products. “GDN is very cost-effective and delivers more bang for the buck.” Thanks to its affordable nature, practically anyone from the neighbourhood kirana store to big companies can be on GDN, where space is unlimited, and so is the extent to which innovation is possible.

For Google, however, GDN is a small part of what it does in India, think search, YouTube, affordable handsets, Google Pay, cloud, SMEs… the list is long. In turn, India is a very small part of Google globally. Munch this: Google India ended FY22 with revenues of ₹9,286 crore (about $1.14 billion at current exchange rates). That was a massive rise of 45 per cent from FY21. Net profit, at ₹1,239 crore, was up 53 per cent. Now let’s look at the global picture. Google’s parent, Alphabet, ended 2021 (calendar year) with revenues of $258 billion, and net profits of $76 billion.
