The Quiet Storm
Perspective: Ram
The summer of 2015 was hotter than usual. Not because of the weather, but because the world was changing—and very few people realized who was behind it.
Ram sat quietly at the edge of the cliff near his secret base in Uttarakhand. Below, mist drifted between pine-covered valleys, wrapping the mountains in a shroud of serenity. He wore a simple hoodie, but his mind was racing faster than a quantum core.
India had just launched its first 4G satellite, and the world was watching with shock. Experts on CNBC and Bloomberg debated how a country long known for its "back office" workforce had suddenly leapfrogged the US, China, and South Korea. None of them could guess that a 15-year-old teenager from Dehradun had designed 90% of the tech. Even fewer could imagine that the launch was not the end—but merely the beginning of a far grander storm.
Perspective: Ankita Mehra – Senior Analyst, DRDO
Ankita had been working with DRDO for over a decade. That day, she sat in a dimly lit room in Delhi, staring at an encrypted file that someone had anonymously leaked to their cyber-intelligence unit. It contained fragments of blueprints, AI algorithms, and energy systems that were decades ahead of anything India had ever developed.
"This isn't just foreign tech," she whispered to herself. "This is… from the future."
But there was no signature, no trace. Just a codename: The Ghost of India.
Every attempt to trace the source of the data failed. Whoever had sent it had bypassed every known firewall. A whisper had started among the corridors of India's most powerful scientific agencies—someone invisible was pushing India forward.
Perspective: Ram
In the mountains, Ram's team of humanoid AI engineers—coded by his future knowledge—worked 24/7 developing the next generation of bio-chips. His robotic CEO Minions were infiltrating top industrial sectors by proxy, launching publicly traded companies with clean paperwork, Indian faces, and no known backers. These companies focused on core technologies—chipmaking, battery design, and quantum encryption—quietly stealing global market share.
But things weren't all going smoothly.
Villain Emerges: Raghav Saxena
Raghav Saxena, a powerful tycoon based in Singapore, was the first to notice. He had made his billions by controlling rare earth mineral exports to India and Southeast Asia. But after Ram's new supply chain system launched using bio-mining AI—Raghav's profits dropped 60% in three months.
"This isn't natural," Raghav told his board. "No startup grows this fast. I want names. I want faces. I want whoever is behind this… erased."
With his vast influence, Raghav began bribing port officials, stalling material shipments, and lobbying against India's tech companies. His goal was simple: choke the supply lines and starve the invisible empire.
But Ram had prepared for this years in advance.
Perspective: Kunal – AI Minion disguised as CEO of Biovision Corp
At a press conference in Mumbai, Kunal—Ram's most advanced humanoid robot—stood on stage, unveiling Indra-7, India's first entirely domestically produced quantum phone.
"No foreign chip. No foreign OS. No foreign cloud," Kunal said with a smile. "This is not just Make in India. This is Own India."
The crowd erupted. Apple, Samsung, and Huawei shares trembled that night.
Back in Uttarakhand, Ram watched the livestream, but he wasn't smiling. His phone pinged with a new alert: Supply disruption in Ahmedabad. Port lockdown by order of international syndicates.
He stared out into the mountains. "Time to accelerate the manufacturing AI," he muttered.
That night, deep inside his robotic base hidden beneath the mountains, the Garuda AI was awakened. Massive 3D printers, solar-powered mines, and drone convoys moved like an ant colony—fully autonomous, decentralized, and immune to human interference.
Perspective: Raghav Saxena
Back in Singapore, Raghav was furious. His network of black-market allies in Thailand and Vietnam reported the same thing: no one could find a single weakness in Ram's new companies. They were like ghosts—untraceable, self-sufficient, and always one step ahead.
Raghav picked up his phone and called an old friend in Washington.
"I want this Indian phantom exposed. Even if it takes the CIA."
