RACE FOR THE FINANCE HOLY GRAIL: Intelligence Under Management: How AGI Rewrites the Capital Market

Artificial General Intelligence is coming for finance.
Not as a tool.
Not as an assistant.
But as a system-level intelligence that will redesign capital markets from the inside out.
In Race for the Finance Holy Grail, Chida Khatua takes readers into a near future where:

• Autonomous systems invent new financial instruments in real time
• Corporations rewrite themselves before disruption strikes
• Risk is dissolved before crises erupt
• Money moves globally in seconds
• Billions of people gain dynamic financial identity
• Capital flows toward resilience—not speculation

Through six powerful, cinematic narratives grounded in real technological trends, this book reveals how AGI will reshape financial engineering, infrastructure, investment strategy, risk management, and global inclusion.
But this transformation comes with a warning.
If AGI is concentrated only among elite institutions, finance could split into two worlds, an intelligent capital core and a fragile periphery, where accelerating runaway disparity not through malice, but through optimization.
The future of finance will not be defined by who owns the most assets.
It will be defined by who manages intelligence best.
For investors, founders, executives, and policymakers, this book is both a blueprint and a wake-up call.
