Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. The government has acknowledged the importance and potential of technology in the agriculture sector. It is promising to note that the budget prioritised agritech, especially with the push on DeepTech like artificial intelligence and geospatial systems and focus on drone shakti. Experts and leaders of the agriculture sector feel that the budgetary provisions and proposals will go a long way towards making the farming industry sustainable and profitable. Ajay Kakra, Leader, Food and Agriculture, PwC India said, "The focus on startups and agritech in the budget will be helpful for the development of a digital ecosystem and technology inclusion in the agri sector. However, most industry aspirations remain unmet."

When we hear technology we think of electronic gadgets and a hundred types of software. But the problems of the future are going to be more basic. Food, water, and shelter are important to talk about. They're essential to sustain human life and limited in availability. Moreover, the increasing population and concentration of population in major cities will possibly lead to scarcity unless we take due action.

The impact on healthcare will be similarly huge. "Healthcare will be personalized and people will be advised in detail as to how to look after themselves," Davies adds. "AI doctors will be able to diagnose, prescribe, and treat common conditions without consulting a human physician. Already, AI is monitoring glucose levels and suggesting doses of medication to diabetic patients with insulin pumps, and AI tests for other types of illnesses that are coming online. Also, in the very near future, AI will be common in health centers to improve the diagnosis of MRIs, mammograms, x-rays, (and) cancers." Whit Andrews, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, says automation is changing industries by allowing organizations to increase the scale of what they can accomplish.
