What happened
Google's value plunged by $500bn and its shares hit a six-month low after it revealed that AI search summaries were affecting ad revenue.
Why it matters
The effect on Indian equities may be limited, but weaker sentiment around large technology firms could weigh on global risk appetite and spill over to Indian markets.
Global impact
The news reports a sharp reaction in Google's shares, but no wider market move. Such concerns can influence global technology sentiment and valuations of firms seen as exposed to AI-driven changes in advertising.
