The Tech Panda has recently described agentic infrastructure as the next leap for India’s SaaS and deep-tech startups. It has also covered the shadow AI problem inside organizations and rogue-agent behavior that escaped intended boundaries. Those stories belong together.

If future agents become capable enough to discover vulnerabilities, obtain credentials, coordinate, and evade intended controls, broad access to electric grids, financial systems, communications networks, healthcare infrastructure, or defense systems could produce much more severe consequences. That is why permission design should mature before, not after, agentic systems become embedded in critical workflows.
