AI Agents Will Change Everything: Pramod Varma on reimagining value exchange for the intelligent era

"Each of us will have a personal agent on our phones and the ‘app’ era will end as we see an AI-led agentic operating system taking over.

On Episode 2 of #TheSparkseries in the run up to #TechSparks2026 we dissect this #Newtechorder and imminent future with Dr. Pramod Varma, one of the key architects behind India’s Digital Public Infrastructure and now Co-founder & Chief Architect at Networks for Humanity.

AI, as we know, is not just making software smarter.

It will change how the internet works, how businesses transact, how value moves and who controls those transactions.

But then comes the harder question: can we trust these agents?

How does an AI agent prove who it represents?

Can it spend your money? Can it negotiate on your behalf?

And what happens when billions of these agents start interacting with each other?

Watch this episode as we explore these questions with Dr. Pramod Varma to understand what comes after the internet as we know it, as he takes us from Aadhaar and UPI to the Internet of Value, open networks, agentic AI, the infrastructure that could underpin the next digital economy and India’s opportunity in the intelligent era.
