20 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
If you had to build next billion dollar thing, what would it be? Voice is very under-expert still. The data labelling business is still very under-represented in the economy.
Let's say you were to plug AI into Indian government. What would be that one department you would want to enter?
I would probably enter Defence. Like you'll have, you know, instead of bigger tanks, you'll have smaller drones. You'll have AI coordinating most of these drone attacks. You'll have cyber attacks.
Someone is doing the dumbest AI business and it's making a lot of money.
Chapter 2: How do AI tools impact the future of coding?
You know movie match that somebody had built. It's like a Tinder for movies.
Chapter 3: What strategies can help you grow from ₹1 Lakh to ₹1 Crore?
You know movie recommendation, they swipe left, swipe right. And whenever they match, it gets stored into their list of movies. And on their movie night, they actually just open it and say, okay, this is the movie that we want to watch together.
How long have we been in the US and China?
Decades, probably. We don't have chips. We don't have energy infrastructure. What's your biggest worry?
Chapter 4: What is the next billion-dollar idea in the tech industry?
I would say probably a rogue AGI. Model or a general AI system can actually do most of the work that humanity can do today. AI, that AI could soon lead to human extinction. I think that is a big risk right now.
If building app and building software becomes easy, what's going to be harder now?
Chapter 5: How is AI revolutionizing entrepreneurship in India?
Hardest part will be finding the right ideas, distribution, taste and the personalization of software. Like every business needs a custom software. People will increasingly get more and more dynamic on demand software.
Chapter 6: What challenges do Indian businesses face compared to the US and China?
Do you think in five years, coding will just become irrelevant?
I think coding will evolve. Most of the work that we'll be doing is guiding our agents. How do you sort of provide them feedback? How do you sort of give them the right objective to goal seek?
One skill that will become absolutely worthless in next two years.
I feel the middle is going to be occupied by AI completely. People who are good at problem solving, their leverage will increase multifold. One person will run millions of dollars worth of company on his own. And then you'll have a bottom layer, which is just helping AI get better at things. And the top layer would be direct AI's. In simple words, what does emergent do?
Chapter 7: What skills will become less valuable in the AI era?
So emergent is a platform where you come, what software you want to make and the emergent agent will automatically make the software for you. You don't need a developer code.
If you had 1 lakh rupees and in the next 12 months you want to make it 1 crore, then what will you do? Give me a playbook.
So I think I will pick
Do you know that without any coding experience, without any team, you can make your app or website in just a few days and you can actually sell it for money. All you need is a laptop and an AI tool. Today, a person can build something that even a team of 10 people couldn't do 3 years ago. People are earning from 1 lakh to 1 crore in just a few months.
This is the biggest wealth creation opportunity of our generation. But most people, they don't know that it's happening. Today, our guest is Mukund Jha, founder and CEO of Emergent. He has seen and created such an AI tool with which you can earn real money. In this conversation, he will tell you exactly how to start it. What are the opportunities to build in today's world?
And how can you earn money from it? Watch the episode till the end.

So, Emergent is a platform where you can come and describe in plain English, Hindi, whatever language you want, what software you want to make. And the agent of Emergent will automatically make the software for you. And production grade, which you can deploy, use, you can run a business on that software.

So, you will make an app for me, a dashboard for me. App, mobile app. So, I don't need a developer coder today.
You don't need a developer coder.
But tell me what will happen with coders? There are so many people who studied for years, learned coding, became software engineers. Right. Now, usually if I don't want to change an app first, then I will go to them, I will tell them, I will explain, then they will take months and then they will make it for me.
Right.
Versus now you are telling me I just have to write and do it.
Yeah.
