I do think labor in India will be cheaper than using any AI for quite some time longer than in the West.
I also worry that the major negative effects of AI in India will not be economic but will be social as the society is extremely low trust at the moment due to widespread corruption, criminals being lauded by the government, killings of journalists, communal tensions, huge pollution, and tons of other problems.
