About this listen

 "Are we entitled to have our jobs for a lifetime in the AI age?" That’s the question this week’s episode of Techcetra opens with, as Shouvik Das and Leslie D’Monte talks about the growing instability in Big Tech employment. They examine the troubling pattern of layoffs at firms like Microsoft and Google. Is AI genuinely reshaping work, or simply replacing people under the guise of innovation? They explore how job cuts are disproportionately affecting Indian professionals in the U.S., the emotional toll of sudden unemployment, and whether private companies are doing enough to retrain talent instead of replacing it. The episode also rockets literally into another domain of innovation. With Honda testing a reusable rocket, the hosts discuss what this signals in a SpaceX-dominated world, and how India’s own players like Skyroot and Agnikul are pushing frugal innovation in aerospace. While reusability remains a nascent ambition, the bigger question raised is about India's underwhelming R&D budgets even in tech giants like TCS and how that gap might hold back long-term progress in both tech and space.
