Will Owning Land Save You When AI Takes Over?

In the age of digital abundance, where code, content, and even labour can be automated using AI… what’s left for humans that’s truly scarce? Land.

In this episode, we sit down with Ajitesh Kurupulu, second-generation real estate developer and founder of ASBL, to explore why real estate might become the backbone of the post-AI economy.

We talk about how as white-collar jobs get automated and robotics threaten blue-collar jobs, real estate might become one of the few asset classes AI can’t replicate or replace. We also challenge some of the loudest financial advices out there “Is renting really smarter than buying? What do billionaires understand about land that influencers miss? And why is Indian real estate still so chaotic despite decades of reform?” We then get into why GenZ can’t afford houses and what they can do about it, how to evaluate real estate using public data and AI tools, the myth of endless stock market growth vs. land appreciation, and why consistent policy (not just ambition) builds real cities.

If you’re someone in their 20s interested in the post-AI world, and how to prepare yourself for the shift… this podcast is for you.
