I was at a hotel in Hyderabad and saw something that made me pause.




A self-service coffee counter.
No CCTV.
No attendant.
Just a QR code and a note —

“If you’ve made yourself a cup… we trust you’ll pay for it.”

I asked the staff, “So how many people actually pay?”
He smiled, “More than 90%, sir.”

That line stayed with me.

Maybe India isn’t a low-trust country.
Maybe we’ve just built systems that treat people like they can’t be trusted.

Imagine if we changed that.
Assumed the best out of people instead of the worst.
Fewer gates, fewer verifications, fewer “sir please send on email also” moments.
More trust. More speed. More humanity.

That Hyderabad coffee counter said something powerful —
When you trust people, most of them live up to it.

The next leap for India isn’t just about AI or tech.
It’s about turning distrust into trust.

Because the day we do that, everything else will move faster.
