What is an AI travel influencer?
An AI travel influencer is a computer-generated personality created using artificial intelligence tools such as generative design, machine learning, and natural language processing. These virtual characters are built with specific personalities, backstories, and communication styles, allowing them to post on social media, interact with users, and promote destinations or products—just like human influencers. AI influencers can be tailored for different audiences and are always available to produce consistent content without real-world limitations.
Germany launched a similar avatar in 2023
India is not alone in exploring this space. In 2023, the German National Tourist Board introduced Emma, an AI-generated travel ambassador created to promote tourism in Germany. Emma is portrayed as a young, enthusiastic traveller fluent in 20 languages, including English in a British accent. She was launched through a video campaign and described as an 'innovative, interactive brand ambassador' designed to engage global audiences digitally.

Engagement potential for brands
According to the company, the storytelling ability of Radhika sets her apart in the influencer space. Sudeep Subhash, Chief Revenue Officer at Collective Artists Network and CEO of Big Bang Social, said, 'There's a warmth to Radhika that's hard to fake. She's not just spitting out trends or trying to be viral — she actually gets the context. For brands, that's gold. You get someone who's always on, always in sync with your voice — but also genuinely engaging for the audience. That kind of storytelling at scale is really exciting.'

Trump and Starmer trade compliments but defend differences
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke warmly about the "special relationship" with Britain on Monday, lavishing praise on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, King Charles, and his own mother's Scottish homeland from the ballroom of his Turnberry golf club. But mixed in with the compliments were warnings for Starmer on energy policy, immigration, and tax, as well as a pointed attack on London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Starmer's political ally.

When it came to the Anglo-American relationship, Trump's often outspoken - and sometimes confrontational approach - to such media appearances was replaced with a charm offensive. "The prime minister, he's been so supportive of us and so strong and so respected, and I respect him much more today than I did before, because I just met his wife and family. He's got a perfect wife, and that's never easy to achieve," Trump said. Live Events Starmer, who spoke for only a small fraction of the 72 minutes the two spent in the gaze of the world's media, reciprocated the compliments freely in what was the latest chapter of a burgeoning friendship between the two leaders, who hail from opposing sides of the political spectrum. "It's fantastic to be here - thank you for your hospitality - and to see this amazing golf course. I'll invite you to a football ground at some stage, and we can exchange sports," Starmer joked. DEFENDING KHAN However, the British leader jumped in when Trump - who argued publicly with London mayor Khan during his first term as president - said Khan was doing a bad job running the British capital and called him a "nasty person". "He's a friend of mine, I should add," Starmer interjected, before Trump continued: "I think he's done a terrible job." Starmer listened to Trump talk about cutting immigration - an area in which the British leader is seen by the public as failing. Trump said that policy was key to his 2024 U.S. election win, alongside his promises to reduce taxes and boost the economy. Starmer's government, only a year after winning a landslide victory, is facing a fiscal crunch caused by a stagnant economy, and many analysts expect tax increases later this year to plug the gap. On energy, the two talked up the potential of small nuclear reactors, but set out opposing positions on other sources of power. Trump gently urged Starmer to make more of Britain's oil and gas resources and renewed criticism of the offshore wind turbines that dot the coast near his golf course, and which form a key part of Starmer's plans for a carbon-free energy system. "Wind is a disaster," Trump said. "It's a very expensive energy, it's a very ugly energy and we won't allow it in the United States." Starmer replied: "We believe in a mix." STATE VISIT Smoothing over their differences on policy, the two looked ahead to Trump's next visit in September when he will be hosted by King Charles for a state visit. "I hate to say it, but nobody does it like you people in terms of the pomp and ceremony," Trump said. "I'm a big fan of King Charles. I've known him for quite a while. Great guy, great person." After accepting an invitation presented to him during Starmer's visit to the White House in February, Trump will become the first world leader in modern times to undertake two state visits to Britain. "This is going to be a historic occasion, and we're all very much looking forward to it," Starmer said. In May, Washington and London announced the first bilateral trade deal made in the wake of steep new tariffs on global imports imposed by Trump. Trump's visit concludes on Tuesday, when he will open a new golf course near Aberdeen named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born and raised on a Scottish island before emigrating to the United States.

Best of BS Opinion: How India is applying new fixes to old wounds
There's a particular discomfort in swallowing the same pill day after day and still feeling no better. At some point, whether it's for a persistent cold or a stubborn fever, you head back to the doctor — not for reassurance, but for a new prescription. Something different. Something that might actually work this time. That's where we are today, as a country, as a region, even as a workforce. Tweaking the dosage. Changing the medicine. Because the old ways aren't healing like they used to. Let's dive in. That shift is clearly visible in TCS's decision to let go of 12,000 employees, mostly from the middle and senior rungs. The reason? AI is becoming the new workforce. Like a treatment that makes older therapies obsolete, automation is reshaping how companies see value. But for India, where jobs are the lifeblood of growth, this change demands a rethink of skilling, education, and labour policy, argues our first editorial. We need a new formulation, and fast. In diplomacy too, there's been a shift in dosage. As tensions with the Maldives threatened to flare up, India quietly switched from confrontation to calibration, replacing troops with technicians, and aid with patience. Our second editorial notes how this non-invasive strategy is yielding a gradual thaw, possibly proving more potent than muscle-flexing. Akash Prakash, on the other hand, shows what the right medicine looks like. India's PLI scheme for smartphones, crafted carefully and administered diligently, has turned Apple into a believer and India into a serious contender in global electronics. The challenge now is to scale that formula to other sectors, with new incentives and coordinated policy muscle. Rama Bijapurkar writes that even the middle class, once thought to be the immune system of a stable economy, is mutating. Today's middle class isn't built on pensions or permanent jobs. It's a patchwork of gig workers, first-gen graduates, and economic tightrope walkers. Aspirations have become modest: not upward mobility but just a break from the grind. We need to redefine what it means to be 'middle class,' before our policies misdiagnose the patient. Finally, in The Trial that Shook Britain: How a Court Martial Hastened Acceptance of Indian Independence, reviewed by Amritesh Mukherjee, Ashis Ray reminds us that sometimes, history turns on a prescription no one expected. His retelling of the INA court-martial is less about law and more about contagion — how a courtroom drama spread outrage like wildfire, igniting mutinies, uniting a fractured country, and hastening the end of British rule. Sometimes, even the most unexpected prescription can trigger a revolution. Stay tuned!
