AI drives 92 per cent surge to 15M views across India’s open web
Taboola data shows rising AI curiosity reshaping digital consumption trends
MUMBAI: Artificial intelligence is fast becoming the internet’s favourite topic in India, with fresh data showing a sharp spike in audience interest across the open web.
Insights from Taboola’s Taboola Newsroom reveal that AI-related content generated more than 15 million pageviews over the past 90 days, marking a striking 92 per cent jump compared to the previous 45-day period. The surge signals a clear shift, with AI moving from niche tech chatter to mainstream digital curiosity.
The broader technology category is also seeing momentum, clocking around 1.7 million pageviews and a 27 per cent rise in engagement. However, much of that growth appears to be riding on the AI wave, as developments in artificial intelligence increasingly dominate tech narratives.
Within the AI ecosystem, newer players are quickly capturing attention. Content linked to Anthropic alone drew roughly 2.5 million pageviews, registering a dramatic 2,096 per cent surge. The spike reflects growing interest in alternative AI models and emerging competitors in the space.
Meanwhile, familiar names continue to hold steady ground. Coverage around ChatGPT generated about 1.2 million pageviews, underlining sustained curiosity as users explore practical applications, updates, and everyday use cases for generative AI tools.
Big Tech is firmly in the spotlight too. Content related to Meta attracted approximately 2.2 million pageviews, up 30 per cent, as audiences track its expanding role in AI infrastructure and innovation.
Taken together, the data points to a deeper shift in how audiences engage with AI. Interest is no longer tied only to big announcements but is evolving into a steady stream of exploration around tools, platforms, and real-world uses.
For publishers, this opens the door to richer storytelling through explainers and practical insights. For advertisers, it presents a chance to tap into a highly engaged, tech-savvy audience.
If the numbers are anything to go by, AI is not just part of the conversation anymore, it is leading it.

Moneycontrol Wealth Summit spotlights markets and investing trends
Finance leaders decode volatility, regulation and long-term wealth strategies
MUMBAI: Moneycontrol brought the world of finance into sharp focus at the second edition of Moneycontrol Global Wealth Summit 2026, presented by IDFC FIRST Bank. The event gathered leading voices from markets, policy and global investing to unpack the forces shaping wealth creation in uncertain times.
At a moment when global markets are being pulled in multiple directions, the summit turned into a sounding board for investors looking to make sense of volatility and opportunity alike. Conversations ranged from geopolitical risks to regulatory frameworks, all with one common thread of long-term thinking.
SEBI chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, urged investors to stay patient amid market swings driven by geopolitical tensions, energy disruptions and rapid information flow. He noted that volatility is now a defining feature of modern markets, but cautioned retail investors against reacting impulsively to short-term movements.
Meanwhile veteran investor Ramesh Damani, struck a more reflective note, suggesting the post-pandemic bull run may be nearing a pause. He encouraged investors to focus on understanding business fundamentals rather than getting caught up in price movements, adding that how markets respond to news often matters more than the news itself.
Former board member at Securities and Exchange Board of India Ananth Narayan G, turned the spotlight on India’s derivatives market. He pointed out that the dominance of short-tenure contracts could be a structural weakness and suggested that regulators and exchanges explore ways to make longer-duration contracts more attractive.
As investors navigate an increasingly complex global landscape, the summit offered both clarity and caution. It reinforced a simple idea that while markets may sway in the short term, informed and patient investing remains the surest path to building lasting wealth.
