𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗔 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲 🇮🇳 The Union Budget 2026 reinforces a clear message: India is doubling down on execution, not just intent. What stood out to me as a tech and operations leader: 🔹 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 Continued focus on DPI, AI adoption, data platforms, and cloud-first governance signals that technology is no longer a support function—it’s the backbone of national productivity. 🔹 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘅 + 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 = 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 Infrastructure-led growth, logistics modernization, and manufacturing incentives point to a sharper push toward efficiency, reliability, and cost competitiveness especially critical for supply chains and F&B ecosystems. 🔹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 From compliance to payments to MSME enablement, the budget leans heavily on technology to reduce friction, improve transparency, and accelerate formalisation at scale. 🔹 𝗔𝗜, 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 Investments in future-ready skills and AI-led productivity reflect a mature understanding: growth will come not just from labour, but from leverage. From a JustDeliveries lens, this budget validates a core belief we operate with every day: 👉 India’s next efficiency leap will come from tech-enabled, asset-light, execution-first platforms that connect infrastructure, data, and operations seamlessly. The opportunity ahead isn’t incremental—it’s structural. For founders, operators, and leaders, the question is simple: Are we building systems that can scale with India’s ambition? Optimistic. Pragmatic. Ready to execute. #UnionBudget2026 #IndiaGrowth #TechLeadership #DigitalIndia #Logistics #SupplyChain #AI #Infrastructure #JustDeliveries #ColdChain Nirmala Sitharaman Government of India (GoI) JustDeliveries Mansi Mahansaria Pradeep Murugesan

An interesting conversation with GovInsider on where India’s Agritech journey needs to go next. My view is simple: the next breakthrough will not come from another standalone application, but from building the digital rails that enable an ecosystem. When trusted data, AI, geospatial intelligence, research, weather and markets can work together, technology can move from simply digitising services to creating real economic and social impact. For me, that is the essence of DPI 3.0 — from digitisation to intelligence, innovation and outcomes. Thank you GovInsider and Jagriti Kumari for the opportunity to share these perspectives. #Agritech #DPI #AI #GovTech #DigitalIndia #Maharashtra

We just published the first blog in the Zepto Search Engineering series - Sharing how we built search from the ground up and scaled it for one of India’s largest quick-commerce platforms. - Search in quick commerce is not just about matching keywords. - At Zepto, the contract with every user is harder than it looks — resolve what they meant, where they are, and what’s available to them right now, across a hyperlocal delivery network where inventory changes with every order. - In our latest Zepto Engineering blog, we unpack how search is built for a 10-minute world — a system that understands how India actually types, combines lexical and semantic retrieval, resolves hyperlocal inventory, and ranks results through a Mixture of Experts model that adapts to every user in real time. - This is the architecture behind helping users find what they mean — not just what they type. This blog sets the foundation for the series. In the upcoming posts, we’ll go deeper into the engineering challenges, design decisions, and systems that power search at scale.
