Скачать или смотреть Inside the CEO Mind: Madhav Sheth | AI+ | NxtQuantum

Why do millions of smartphones sell in India every year… yet we don’t have a global Indian tech hardware brand?

In this episode of BizTalk with Sami Khan — powered by International Business Times — we sit down with Madhav Sheth, Founder & CEO of AI+ (NxtQuantum Shift Technologies) to go beyond products and into the strategy, consumer truths and tough realities shaping the future of Indian tech.

From quitting billion-dollar success to building intent-led tech brands, to challenging industry hype — this conversation digs deep into:

📍 India’s smartphone economy and the “consumption vs maker” gap
📍 Why launching 40–50 phones a year kills trust
📍 Are affordable phones aspirational?
📍 AI hype vs real utility
📍 Data privacy, permissions & consumer control
📍 China+1 vs India+1 — ecosystem, mindset & policy

🔥 If you want founder mindset, real criticism, and strategic clarity on building technology from India, this is one talk you can’t skip.
