Microsoft India chief says AI could broaden access to entrepreneurship

Source: NDTV · 22 Sep 2026, 15:05 UTC

Microsoft India President Puneet Chandok told NDTV that artificial intelligence is lowering barriers to expertise. He said the technology could enable individuals and smaller teams to build products or ventures that previously required large organisations, though the supplied material gives no examples or forecast of its economic impact.

Artificial intelligence could change who is able to become an entrepreneur by reducing the need for extensive expertise and large organisations, Microsoft India President Puneet Chandok told NDTV. Chandok said AI is lowering barriers to expertise. In his view, the technology could allow individuals and smaller teams to build what previously required much larger organisations.

The statement presents AI as a tool that may broaden access to capabilities associated with entrepreneurship. It does not specify which capabilities are being made more accessible or identify particular businesses that have been created in this way. The supplied material also does not quantify the cost reductions, describe the technologies involved or offer evidence measuring the effect on new businesses.

Chandok’s comments are therefore a view about AI’s potential rather than a report of a specific policy or product launch. The central claim is that smaller teams and individuals could undertake work once reserved for large organisations. Whether that changes the number or nature of new businesses would depend on factors not addressed in the available material.
