MetaAI is foxed too

Reactions from India Inc is a common feature post Budget. And today when everyone is talking AI, a scribe asked Meta AI why Indian corporates give cliched comments, this is the response:

“The comments from Indian corporate executives on Budget 2025 do seem to follow a familiar pattern, with phrases like “growth-oriented budget”, “welcome move”, “positive sentiment”, and “boost to the economy” being commonly used.

These clichéd responses might be due to various factors, such as:

1. Diplomatic language: Executives might be avoiding any negative comments to maintain a positive relationship with the government.

2. Standardized responses: Companies might have prepared templated responses to ensure consistency and avoid controversy.

3. Time constraints: With the budget being announced, executives might not have had sufficient time to analyze the details and provide more nuanced comments.

It’s interesting to note that these clichéd responses can make it challenging to gauge the genuine impact of the budget on the corporate sector.”

So even Meta AI is finding it difficult to assess the impact of Budget.

Modi regime tax magic

In a recent political rally, PM Modi served up a fiscal fairy tale. Picture this: In the days of Nehru, a ₹12 lakh salary would have lost a neat quarter to taxes. Fast forward to Indira Gandhi’s era, and you’d be virtually donating ₹10 lakh of that income to the state treasury. Even just over a decade ago, Congress would take away ₹2.6 lakh out of ₹12 lakh as tax.

But hold on to your calculators — under the BJP government’s latest budget, that ₹12 lakh now comes with a zero-tax guarantee.

Yes, you read that right: your hard-earned salary is apparently now immune to the taxman’s grasp. Is it fiscal wizardry, or just another twist in the political narrative? Only time (and our next pay slip) will tell.
