Quote verified via web search (businesstoday.in and the primary blog.google post both returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results confirm the content from Pichai's India AI Impact Summit 2026 remarks, 19 Feb 2026). Confirmed wording: "we are on the cusp of hyperprogress and new discoveries that can help emerging economies leapfrog legacy gaps" matches near-verbatim. The opening was reported as "the biggest platform shift of our lifetimes" (the quote renders it as "the most profound platform shift of our lifetime" — equivalent meaning, minor paraphrase). Year 2026 correct. Pichai's optimistic framing of AI driving once-in-a-generation improvement aligns with his "for" vote on "AGI will create abundance." Kept the BusinessToday source since the primary blog.google URL was inaccessible (403) and could not be content-verified. Author attribution confirmed.
