The AI Tsunami: Are You Next? Get Ready.

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.
