On the Budget 2019, Ankit Prasad – Founder & CEO, Bobble AI said “We welcome the move by honourable FM to improve the skills of our youth in newer areas such as AI, Big Data, etc. In fact, we at Bobble AI would be happy to contribute in such moves, given a chance. We feel India is lagging behind big time and we have to catch up with the US and China on AI front faster. Due to the scarcity of such talent in India, we had to bring back people like Mrinal Sourav from US to India in such roles.
Again, we appreciate the move to resolve the issue of Angel Tax and the government’s intent but we don’t see the plan in action yet given multiple cases where startups including us were harassed by IT department for no good reason. We are hopeful that the situation will change with increased intervention and checks and balances being introduced by govt”.
