Empowering the Common Man with AI: Reflections from Jayant Deshmukh’s Meeting with Hon. MP Shri. Ravindra Waikar

Mumbai, Maharashtra – September 30, 2025

Jayant Deshmukh, a renowned Author, AI Consultant, Digital Transformation Strategist, and Keynote Speaker, recently met Hon. Member of Parliament (Mumbai North West Constituency) Shri. Ravindra Waikar to discuss ongoing AI-driven initiatives aimed at empowering citizens in the Loksabha constituency through accessible and inclusive technology.

Earlier this year, Mr. Deshmukh was invited to deliver a thought-provoking session on Artificial Intelligence during the Lokpratinidhi Shibir, where he emphasized the growing need for AI awareness among policymakers and the public. This latest meeting marked another milestone in that journey—centered on one fundamental question:
“How can AI truly reach and empower the common man of our country?”

During their discussion, both leaders explored practical applications of AI in everyday life. Mr. Deshmukh proposed a simple yet impactful exercise—encouraging Mr. Waikar to interact directly with an AI tool by asking any question on any topic. The real-time demonstration sparked great curiosity and appreciation, as the MP personally experienced the transformative potential of AI in learning, communication, and problem-solving.

As part of the meeting, Mr. Deshmukh also presented his Marathi-authored book, “AI शिकूया मराठीतून” (Let’s Learn AI in Marathi) — a pioneering effort to make AI learning accessible to Marathi-speaking audiences and promote regional language literacy in technology. The book aims to bridge the digital and linguistic divide, empowering learners from all backgrounds to embrace AI confidently.

“AI is not just about innovation—it’s about inclusion,” said Jayant Deshmukh. “Every citizen, regardless of their background or education, deserves the opportunity to understand and benefit from this technology. With visionary leaders like Shri. Ravindra Waikar supporting such initiatives, we can bring AI closer to the people and truly democratize its benefits.”

The meeting concluded with a shared vision to collaborate on community-level awareness programs, workshops, and AI literacy campaigns, ensuring that the benefits of AI are felt across every section of society.

Mr. Deshmukh extended his heartfelt gratitude to Hon. MP Shri. Ravindra Waikar for his valuable time, encouragement, and forward-thinking approach, reaffirming his commitment to using AI as a tool for societal transformation and empowerment.
