About this title

Synopsis

When the last liftman disappeared from your building, nobody announced it. He was simply gone — replaced so quietly that his absence felt like an upgrade.

Three hundred million more Indians are about to disappear from the workforce the same way.

The AI Tsunami covers six sectors — security, agriculture, garments, logistics, construction, and the widening technology divide — and one central truth: the shorter your repetition cycle at work, the closer you are to being replaced.

Between 300 and 400 million Indians face displacement within one generation. That is not a sector problem. It is a civilisational moment. And almost none of them know it is coming.

Riz Thakur has been at the front of every technology wave in India — from launching mobile phones in Mumbai in 1995 to building India's first B2B marketplace. He has spent decades watching what ordinary people never see until it is too late: the wave building offshore, long before it hits the shore.

This is not a book about technology. It is a warning, written with love, for the security guard at your gate, the farmer's son who moved to the city, the gig worker racing a ten-minute window, and the young person standing at a crossroads wondering what to do next.

The AI Tsunami is the first Indian book co-written with an AI — Claude, by Anthropic — to warn you about what AI is doing to Indian jobs. The irony is intentional.

Are you next? Get ready.
