VR/AR won't become the Next Big Thing, but prices will have stabilized and demand in most developed countries will be steadily increasing. Will never become as ubiqitious as smartphones in developing countries.

People will be happier, but I can't predict why.

India won't have progressed in a significant manner. Corruption will be as rampant as ever, and Hindutva will still be the prevailing ideology. The youth will try to protest in ..certain ways, but they will not be successful in bringing about the change they would like. Mumbai will be one step closer to being a dead city. Bangalore won't be its successor. The higher education system will not become better in any meaningful way but the importance of IIT/NITs will have slightly declined. For most students they will remain the only option.

Tech jobs will have lost their allure due to oversaturation in India. We will see a funding winter in 2030-2033. We will see more skeptics.

india's got hurdles, no doubt. but with the progress in space tech and the startup scene hungry for local solutions, there's room for optimism. oversaturation in traditional tech might happen, but that energy could transform healthcare, agriculture...the stuff that impacts everyday life. plus, smaller cities could become the new powerhouses if clean energy investment booms.

the shift is happening. soon, india will lead in creating solutions tailored to its needs, not copying silicon valley. UPI and ONDC prove this innovative spirit.
