> Don't explain the how

They processed 10 cases in a day rather than 7. In some cases, new work took its place and the company makes a little bit more money, but this is a lagging effect naturally.

> Have their been reports of increased productivity or layoffs in tiny town, small non-tech companies in India that I am unaware of

PWC et al don't go around doing reports on these tiny companies bro. The only information you get is if you know people in that place and they tell you yourself, which is how I got to know.

> Given that everyone is on the AI hype train they might not be looking at the expenses closely

Yeah maybe F500 ceos exposed to LLM coding agents are on the hype train to some extent, but these M.S office pirating small companies are not on any hype train lol.

> The last labor survey had average Indian salary pegged at 21k.

Averaging across the whole of India gives you a useless number. In the richer regions, 21k is less than what a full time food delivery/quick commerce driver makes.

I knew the post screamed "trust me bro" vibes and now I know for sure. Government does Labor force surveys. Here's one for last year. Point me out how the participation is changing through AI paying for itself. https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2246009&re...

See the above survey for the figures. But then this is like someone using California to say how well America is doing.

		> Government does Labor force surveys. I am very aware of MOSPI. We collaborate in compiling the data for them! BTW there is an MCP server now: https://github.com/nso-india/esankhyiki-mcp. What do you expect to glean out of PLFS though? Why would broad based labour force participation or other similar data change due to AI paying for itself? What? If you meant to somehow glean some information out of the wages report, note that the wages survey was last done in 25. The quarterly and monthly bulletins don't contain wage data. Regardless, these are too macro to give any sense of any change at all happening in AI-accelerable knowledge work. By "PWC report", I meant one where they went to firms and recorded using the same methodology some same notion of AI "paying for itself" or "increasing productivity".
