Sanjay runs a small packaged snacks business in Panipat—mathri, namakpara, shakarpara. His son convinced him to use a simple sales app that suggested:

“Push item X more—higher margin.”

Sanjay followed it blindly.

Sales of item X increased.

But old customers started saying:

“Mathri pehle zyada achhi thi.”

The app didn’t see that.

Sanjay did.

He corrected course.

He kept using the app—for numbers.

But he trusted his taste, experience, and customer feedback for decisions.

Lesson (simple, usable):

Tools can suggest.

Humans must decide.

👉 Try this yourself:

Use apps, software, or AI for counting and patterns.

Use your judgment for final calls.

How this decodes the “big wisdom”

AI is a multiplier, not a mind.

It speeds up what you already believe.

If judgment is weak,

AI magnifies mistakes.

My honest view

Small businesses have something AI never will—

context, intuition, and lived experience.

Protect that.
