2018 - what is in store ?

its been a long time and was thinking of writing for a while but could not start .. a new year brings in fresh energy and here am trying to put my thoughts on what could happen in 2018 ...

WORLD WIDE

# Artificial Intelligence (A.I) will come out from laboratories  and we get to see many applications rolled out in main stream areas - Banking, Health Care, Automotives and Agriculture . Governments will start putting more thought into what needs to be done in the age of AI to keep people occupied and able to earn .

# EVs and autonomous vehicles will continue to see increased traction and  world will move closer to the future of mobility - " Solar Powered Autonomous vehicles " 

# More nations will start taking concrete actions against Terrorism - US has started this by explicitly holding back funding to some of the nations 

India

# Many states are going for elections in this year and the central govt will want to keep itself in good books by going slow on the reforms 

# Rebound in Oil prices will start pinching the growth , impacts inflation upward 

# India will see more balanced political landscape with opposition gaining from its lowest appeal, confidence among the people of the country 

Telangana :

# The traction across the sectors (Infrastructure, Industry, Irrigation, Health Care , Education) will continue to bring holistic development 

# Agriculture based growth will start kicking in - courtesy, many of the irrigation projects getting completed 

# for the first time in the history of Telangana region - the society will see more divisions on the lines of caste  - courtesy, the support and funding from govt. for various facilities based on caste

# Hyderabad will be the city with fastest growth in the country (interms of software, Hardware, Start ups and Real Estate)

would like to revisit above in 2019 and see how close/wrong Iam with my predictions.

Happy new Year
