About This Category
Technology as a Business Beat
This section does not cover technology as a category of products. It covers the companies making consequential decisions — where they are spending, what they are acquiring, which bets are paying off, and which are not. A $920 million-a-month AI infrastructure deal between Google and SpaceX is a procurement and competitive positioning story. Apple’s Siri overhaul is a product strategy decision with implications for its ecosystem hold. The framing here is always corporate, not consumer.
Artificial Intelligence: Capital Before Features
AI dominates current technology coverage for one reason — the capital commitments are now large enough to move markets and reshape competitive dynamics. Google’s $5 billion cloud venture with Blackstone, OpenAI’s acquisition of voice AI startup Weights.gg, HCLTech anchoring a ₹2,800 crore bet on Sarvam AI, and Zuckerberg and Chan backing a $500 million cell-modelling initiative are each reported as investment decisions. Product releases — Gemini 3.5 Flash, Codex on mobile, Meta’s AI agents for WhatsApp and Instagram — are covered in the same register: what the company is committing to, and what it expects in return.
