Hello and welcome back to First Principles. I'm thrilled to bring you episode 46, my conversation with Anand Jain, the co-founder of Mumbai-headquartered customer engagement platform CleverTap.Anand and I were once colleagues at the media conglomerate Network 18. He got out before I did.In 2013 he and two of his colleagues, Sunil Thomas and Kondamudi, left Network 18 and decided to fire up their respective laptops and code a new customer engagement platform. In just a few months, WizRocket, as it was then called, found its first – albeit non-paying customer. Then, in fairly short order, word-of-mouth driven inbound Seed and Series A investments.Over time it became Clevertap, raising over $180M in VC funding and becoming a globally used and respected product.As it turns out though, one of Clevertap's operating philosophies is, well, First Principles. A strong reason is because Anand himself is a strong believer in it.At the age of 12 he lost his dad. Thus, at an age when kids are taught to focus only on studies, Anand started tinkering, repairing and learning computer programming to earn money to put food on the table.His first business was a scheduling system for lawyers in Ahmedabad, written in FoxPro. That was in 1994.His friends in college called him “khurpechi” in Hindi. Literally, that's a person who uses a khurpi – a gardening tool – to turn soil over to weed crops or plants. Colloquially though, that's a person who is curious, restless and is always meddling around with things that don't concern them directly.Along the way, Anand co-founded Burrp, one of India's first restaurant review portals, which got acquired by Network 18. While he was building and running Burrp, he also started manufacturing and selling pigeon spikes to shops, because he noticed there was no one doing that in India!“I shouldn't be here,” he told me. Why, I asked. He is not very smart, he replied. He doesn't have good educational pedigree. He did not even study computer science formally. But, he said, he is extremely hard working and believes that anything can be learnt through hard work and perseverance.You can see why First Principles is a concept that is dear to Anand.I asked him how happy he was on a scale of 10. He said 10.I asked him if he'd ever thought of retiring. He said never. Life is too short to not have fun, he said.Indeed, it is. So let's dive into episode 46, with Anand Jain, co-founder of Clevertap.This is part 2 of my conversation with him-This episode was produced by Hari Krishna, with mixing and mastering by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

When listener Rob from Devon, UK, heard of a newly detected planet light years away, he was struck by the sheer scale the light must travel to reach us here on Earth. It got him wondering: How long does light last? What's the oldest light we've ever observed? And does light ever die? To find out, presenter Anand Jagatia calls on some of the brightest minds in astronomy and physics. Astronomer Matthew Middleton from the University of Southampton describes himself as “a kid in a sweet shop” when it comes to physics, and that enthusiasm comes in handy, because scientists still struggle to define exactly what light is. What we do know is that light comes in many forms, and choosing the right kind can peel back the cosmic curtain, revealing the universe's deepest and darkest secrets. That knowledge will prove vital in Anand's search for the oldest light ever observed. At the European Southern Observatory in Chile, staff astronomer Pascale Hibon gives Anand a behind-the-scenes look at the Very Large Telescope, one of the most advanced optical instruments on Earth, perfectly placed under some of the clearest skies on the planet. Light from the objects Pascale studies has often travelled for billions of years, making her images snapshots of the distant past. In a sense, she's pretty much a time traveller. If light has crossed the vastness of the universe to reach us, it must be unimaginably ancient. But what will become of it in the far future? Could we trap it and preserve it forever? “If we knew what light is, that might be an easier question to answer,” says Miles Padgett at the University of Glasgow, who has spent his career trying to pin it down. As Anand discovers, physics can be more philosophical than you might expect. From redshifted galaxies at the edge of the observable universe to exotic materials that can slow light to walking pace, CrowdScience explores whether we can catch light, how it changes over time, and why truly understanding it remains one of physics' most stubborn challenges.

Join us for expert insights on driving data-led change. Anand Iyer, Senior Vice President and Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, breaks down his approach to AI-powered innovation. He shares how to ensure AI initiatives directly impact the bottom line, why an engineering approach is key for prioritizing AI use cases, and that "garbage in, disaster out" is the new reality for data at AI scale. Discover how self-service analytics with AI is transforming data access and why AI is now a critical "business forcing function" in today's volatile world.Key Moments:The "Value First Mindset" for AI (03:13): Despite the hype around AI, initiatives must directly impact the top or bottom line in a measurable way. Sustained investment requires a clear link between the AI initiative and its financial value, moving beyond "soft benefits."Engineering Mindset for Prioritization (11:27): Anand discusses how an engineering approach is applied to prioritizing AI use cases, which helps teams focus on thoroughly understanding the problem and desired outcome before selecting a solution. "Garbage In, Disaster Out" (14:27): A new take on an old adage is introduced: "in the AI world is garbage in and disaster out". This highlights the magnified risks of bad data when leveraged at AI scale.Advocacy for Self-Service Analytics with AI (24:10): Self-service analytics is championed, describing how the integration of AI and conversational AI allows users to ask questions regarding the data. This removes the need for IT involvement in report generation and simplifies the learning curve for data structures.AI as a Business Forcing Function (33:38): In today's volatile global environment, near real-time data and AI-driven insights are no longer optional but a "business forcing function". Rapid reactions to market disruptions, policy changes, and supply chain issues are critical for a company's survival and success.Key Quotes:"If you want to have a seat at the table, you've got to be able to talk in terms of what the value is in terms of dollars." - Anand Iyer“We've deployed ThoughtSpot technology to be able to provide self-serve analytics to our teams, which allows them to have access to the data. This enables them to have conversational questions.” - Anand Iyer"The role that data, analytics, and AI play is the ability to give business leaders access to impact and what they should do in a very timely manner so that they can minimize any impact to business." - Anand IyerMentions:Before You Ask an AI Chatbot for Depression Advice, Read This'Garbage in, Garbage out': AI Fails to Debunk Disinformation, Study FindsThe Bhagavad Gita - By Bed VyasGuest Bio:Anand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy.

CrowdScience listener Jon started wondering how our teeth are created while he was in the dentist's chair. It took his mind off the drilling. He wants to know how our teeth are made, what goes into them and how come we only get two sets of teeth when other animals, like sharks, grow thousands of new ones throughout their lives.Anand Jagatia goes back to prehistoric times to discover how the story of teeth began millions of years ago. Palaeontologist Yara Haridy explains that teeth weren't designed originally for eating at all, but as a kind of armour on the exoskeletons of fish that was also sensitive to the environment. It turns out that our teeth in fact are part of our evolutionary success story. Biological anthropologist Peter Ungar reveals that we flourished as a species because our teeth are designed to get the maximum energy from our food. Anand discovers how teeth can even be grown in a lab when he meets researchers Ana Angelova Volponi and Xuechen Zhang whose team has managed to replicate the environment in which teeth develop. He also talks to Katsu Takahashi who has discovered a method for developing a third set of teeth. It's a whole new way of creating teeth that will change the way we make them.

Unleashing Purpose and Prosperity with Pushkar Anand In this compelling episode, I sit down with Pushkar Anand, a transformational leader whose 15-year journey from high-achieving banker to purpose-driven author is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a quest for personal success evolved into a mission to uplift humanity and empower others to unlock their highest potential. From Success-Seeker to Soul-Driven Leader Pushkar shares his evolution—rooted in voracious learning, with over 500 books read, countless seminars attended, and deep mentorship. His goal shifted from decoding the formula for success to creating a roadmap for others, helping them accelerate their growth without the long detour. His book is the result: a guide for those ready to step into their truth, purpose, and power. Authenticity as the Gateway to Purpose We dive into the heart of living authentically—what it really means to embody who you're meant to be. Pushkar's core belief is that once you're aligned with your true self, abundance naturally follows. I add that living with purpose makes us more resilient, magnetic, and inspiring. The answers we seek aren't “out there”—they live within us. Vibrational Alignment and Financial Freedom Pushkar breaks down how aligning your self-image with your financial vision can unlock exponential results. It's not just about goal-setting—it's about becoming the person who already has what they desire. By embracing “inspired action,” we can shift from hustle to harmony, planting seeds today for the wealth of tomorrow. The Power of Belief and Wealth Consciousness We unpack the deep power of self-belief, the rarity of human existence, and how our internal dialogue shapes our external reality. Pushkar introduces his “6 Statutes of Money,” challenging the myth that wealth is dependent on family background or formal education. The real key? Vibrational alignment and mindset mastery. Mastering Wealth Through Inner Work Pushkar explains that wealth isn't just earned—it's tuned into. Financial success is the byproduct of purpose, belief, and inner alignment. One of his key principles: there's no universal definition of “wealth”—it's as unique as each person's mission. Rewiring the subconscious can shift everything. A Book That Shifts Paradigms We close the conversation by exploring the impact of Pushkar's book—crafted to serve those ready to evolve. Whether you're starting your journey or looking to deepen your alignment with purpose and prosperity, Pushkar invites listeners to explore more through his site: PushkarAnandsWorld.com, where you'll find free resources, transformational programs, and tools to master your wealth from the inside out.  Pushkar Anand is the author of the #1 international bestseller Manifest Your Infinite Riches and founder of the Centre for Infinite Riches. Educated at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics, Pushkar was in the early stages of his traditional corporate career when a profound moment of insight in 2008 led him to evaluate his life expectations and priorities. This moment of insight set Pushkar on his quest as a seeker: an extraordinary quest of endless research and self-discovery that covered more than 500 books, thirty seminars, workshops and immersive learning experiences, and an intense four-year period of study with his teacher – Blaine Bartlett, whom he fondly addresses as Grandmaster B². Pushkar's fifteen-year journey resulted in his founding the Centre for Infinite Riches and authoring Manifest Your Infinite Riches. The Centre is best defined as a movement; a movement, whose purpose is to Uplift Humanity by empowering everyone it touches to become the person they were always meant to be. The Centre's vision is to uplift four million people by Pushkar's 50th birthday on October 21, 2026 and 100 million people by Grandmaster B²'s 80th birthday on September 9, 2026. https://pushkaranandsworld.com/about/ Book:  Manifest Your Infinite Riches

In this episode of Speaking Sidemount, brought to you by XDEEP, Steve Davis interviews Anand Chandra Sekaran, a PADI Course Director based in Malaysia, who shares his journey from a small town in Malaysia to becoming a diving instructor, sidemount and cave diver. Anand discusses his early fascination with underwater exploration, the transition to sidemount diving, and the importance of effective instructor training. The conversation takes us back to the roots of Speaking Sidemount, covering the essential aspects of sidemount diving, including equipment setup and fitting, sidemount entries and exits, correct weighting, buoyancy control, and posture and propulsion techniques, emphasising the need for continuous learning in sidemount diving.Steve and Anand delve further into the intricacies of sidemount diving, discussing various aspects such as cylinder types, gas management, the significance of proper buoyancy, weighting awareness, and the integration of tech diving principles into instructor training. The discussion also emphasises the need for instructors to be well-versed in sidemount techniques and the importance of continuous practice and adaptation in different diving environments.Massive thanks to:Our sponsor XDEEP - https://www.xdeep.eu/Anand Chandra Selaran - https://www.antigravitydiving.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Anand Chandra Sekaran05:52 Diving Journey and Early Experiences06:22 Transition to Teaching Diving11:19 Challenges and Growth in a Diving Career14:10 Finding Passion in Teaching Diving16:46 Reflections on Diving Experiences18:38 Getting into Sidemount Diving23:16 Sidemount to Cave Training24:12 Suggested Level of Experience to Start Sidemount Diving25:17 Foundational Skills for Sidemount Diving28:48 Equipment Setup and Fitting Techniques30:09 Stability & Finning Techniques32:26 Entry and Exit Techniques for Sidemount Divers33:05 Sidemount Skill Development in the Water40:17 Steve Martin - Sidemounting.com Video Training42:32 Why the Gas Sharing Drill is So Important44:16 XDEEP Exploration Support Program45:45 Sidemount Gas Sharing/Hose Stowing47:10 Sidemount Boat Exit Techniques50:13 Sidemount Gas Management51:20 Cylinder Trim - Sliding or Fixed D-rings?56:44 Innovative Teaching Techniques in Diving01:00:11 Integrating Technical Diving Principles into Instructor Training01:01:36 Challenges in Instructor Development Programs01:04:16 The Role of Neutral Buoyancy in Diving Training01:08:33 Understanding Weight Checks and Buoyancy Control01:16:18 Pathway to Becoming a Sidemount Instructor01:20:12 Travelling to Malaysia - Visit Anti Gravity Divers01:21:09 Avelo - Exploring New Diving Technologies and Systems

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Vardhan, Raman Kirpal, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by MK Venu, Founding Editor of The Wire, and award-winning investigative journalist and author Josy Joseph.The panel begins with a discussion on the recently signed “historic” India-UK free trade agreement. Venu argues that the BJP's intention behind this FTA is to have a “fresh start” in global trade negotiations: “In the last 11 years of the Modi government, the narrative they built, led by Piyush Goyal, is that all the FTAs signed by the UPA government were bad for India, that they were being used as a conduit for Chinese goods.”The conversation then shifts to Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as vice president. Abhinandan asks who will oversee the Rajya Sabha “with the parliament session already happening, and all sorts of noise and protests”.Explaining the legal framework, Anand says, “Article 67 says that till the next vice president is appointed, he will have to continue. But he has made it clear that he will not be attending the House.” Venu draws a pattern of abrupt and unexplained resignations among the Indian political and bureaucratic elite: “There is a striking parallel in the manner in which Dhankhar, CBI chief (former Director) Alok Verma, and (former Election Commissioner) Arun Goel abruptly left. What is it that drives leadership in the Modi-Shah regime? There's intrigue, there's cloak and dagger, there's paranoia. Paranoia accompanied by complete power. It's a paradox.”Commenting on media speculation around Dhankhar's resignation, Anand says, “Journalists and public and social media commentators cannot say the simple thing that ‘we don't know'.” Jayashree adds, “It doesn't matter if there is any value to these theories. What matters is that you have a story, a source, the source has said something outlandish, and that is your headline.”The panel then shifts to the Bombay High Court's recent verdict on the 2006 Mumbai blasts. Raman explains: “It's a 576-page judgement talking about how the police have manufactured evidence in very great detail…This particular judgement has put a huge question mark on this state-specific law MCOCA.”Drawing from his decades of experience reporting on intelligence and security, Josy says: “One of the things that has always struck me was the impunity with which our police and investigative agencies are able to do pure malicious things and get away because there is no prosecution for malpractices.”Josy also sheds light on the complexities of police functioning and the political pressures that often influence investigations. “I think in India today, the most difficult job is not being a journalist or not being an NGO worker. I think the most difficult job is to be an honest government official.”Timecodes00:00:00 – Introductions and announcements00:05:50 – Headlines 00:14:20-FTA Deal between UK & India / VP's resignation00:47:55- MK Venu's recommendations00:54:02 - Bombay Blast acquittal by the HC01:21:30 - Josy's Recommendation01:27:33- Letters01:43:40- RecommendationsCheck out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.Produced and recorded by Amit Pandey, Ashish Anand and Anil Kumar.

Has our perception of what it is to be patriotic been skewed by the likes of angry protesters parading outside a refugee hotel in Essex?

Your whole life is governed by spin. The rotation of our planet tells you when to wake up, and Earth's orbit around the Sun is the reason why some of us dig out a jumper for half the year and a t-shirt for the rest. But what if that all changed? That's exactly what 8-year-old Geronimo in Ecuador wants to know. He and his dad, Fabian, have got themselves dizzy trying to figure out what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning, or better yet, started spinning in the opposite direction. Would everyone fly off into space? Would school be at night? Eager for answers, they decided to ask CrowdScience. Presenter Anand Jagatia embarks on an interstellar journey, blasting off with the celestial origins of spin itself. Astronomer Amy Bonsor from the University of Cambridge in the UK explains how Earth's rotation began, with collapsing clouds of gas, planetary pile-ups and crushing gravitational force. At Keele Observatory, things get apocalyptic. Anand meets astronomer Jacco van Loon, who explains what would happen if Geronimo somehow waved a magic wand and brought Earth's rotation to a halt. With months of unbroken daylight or darkness, devastating storms and even the loss of the Earth's magnetic shield, it's like the script of a disaster movie. Wave that magic wand again and we imagine a world where the Earth not only stops... but starts spinning the other way. Meteorologist Joao Basso from the University of Leipzig in Germany walks us through a mind-bending 2018 study that tells us the surprising things that would happen to the global climate.

Today, we're discussing why we struggle to put the communication and relationship lessons we learn into practice. Current generations are more therapy-literate than ever, but that doesn't mean our relationships are healthier.

We just talked with former ABC News anchor and now fellow Substacker Terry Moran, and more than 2,000 of you, about the catastrophic Texas floods, the families directly involved, and what their tragedies and legacies tell us about America now.We spoke about: * Making the necessary connections between human tragedies and underlying causes — the kind of narrative the press tends to avoid* Why talking about climate change after a flood isn't politicization, but the exercise of care* How people who would do anything to protect the ones they love can live the kind of duality that lets them back the kinds of politics — like climate change denial — that endanger the people they love* How the new budget's passage — by people who should know better — reflects the same problem: supported by business elites who are dooming their own great-grandchildren, who are far from guaranteed to be as rich as they are* What happened to the American ethic of solidarity that ensured people looked beyond their own families' self-preservation to the national and global interest, and how can it be rebuilt?* Why the press isn't built to tell people the deep story behind breaking news stories, how that limits public understanding of issues on the scale of climate change, and how independent media might develop the kind of storytelling that can really inform* How we can imagine a tragedy like the July 4 floods, with deep systemic and political roots, being ignored and simply preserving the status quo — and how we might also imagine a future where it motivates people to change* And what kind of great-grandparents are we being now, for our future great-grandchildren?You won't want to miss this one, so just click on the video player above.Visit the link below to read Anand's essay on the flooding:And visit the following link to read our interview with Leah Hunt-Hendrix about her book, Solidarity:We are opening this video to all.

This approach allows for better time management and increased productivity. 11:05 Balancing Automation and Personalization There are concerns about AI and automation leading to depersonalization. Start with what works manually, then automate 80% of it. This approach saves time and increases productivity while still maintaining quality through human supervision. Pay attention to the iterative nature of implementing AI solutions in business. 18:20 Understanding AI Agents and Their Applications There are different types of automations, including linear, AI-powered, and AI agents. AI agents can be used in businesses, such as replacing receptionists for appointment booking. It's important to have proper training and data input for effective AI implementation. 24:26 Transparency and Practical Implementation of AI Transparency is so important when using AI in organizations. Communicate the use of AI to stakeholders, emphasizing its benefits. Attach AI implementation to specific outcomes that solve pain points for users. 28:10 Getting Started with AI in Business Start by describing the problem and desired outcome to ChatGPT, then consulting with multiple vendors. The importance of asking the right questions and starting with a proof of concept is important. Don't miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge on harnessing AI to enhance your nonprofit's efficiency and donor engagement. Tune in for a conversation that could transform your approach to digital strategy and fundraising. Resources Follow Aarti on Insta and DM her FC-Pod to receive her playbook to adopt AI.

A conversation with Anand Ethirajalu, farmer-turned-ecologist and project director for the Save Soil movement.We don't talk about it much, but we should: a remarkable transition has been unfolding on the Indian subcontinent over the past few decades. Hundreds of thousands- if not millions- of farmers have been trained in regenerative practicesand have successfully made the switch. Yes, with higher yields and greater profits, largely due to significantly lower production costs.In the conversation, we focus on one region where the Save Soil movement, led by Sadhguru, has been training more than 10,000 farmers per year.There are countless lessons to be learned. Soil can recover quickly, but shifting farmers' mindsets often takes much longer. One key strategy: don't risk the whole farm. Start with just 10%, and show immediate financial results—higher profits. Provide crucial support in the early years, especially during the first growing season.More and more farmers are also joining programs to plant permanent crops like timber and fruit trees, both as a form of insurance and with the broader goal of planting enough trees (currently over 12 million a year) to begin “harvesting the clouds”. More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return. Hosted by Koen van Seijen.==========================

No one really cares that CrowdScience listener Sam has a younger brother, but they do care about his sister. In fact, they're fascinated by her. That's because Sam and his sister are fraternal twins. He's been wondering all his life why he's treated differently. Could it be cultural? Twins have long appeared in classical mythology, revered literature, and playful comedies—captivating artists and audiences alike across time and continents. Or is there something more scientific behind our fascination? Why are twins special? Anand Jagatia investigates with Karen Dillon from Blackburn College in the USA, who says it's more complicated. Over the years we have created stereotypes of who and what twins are. Our perception has been warped by history and pop culture. As an identical twin herself, she knows firsthand how stereotypes can shape a twin's identity. Philosopher Helena De Bres from Wellesley College in the USA believes these stereotypes play on human anxieties. Their similarities and differences are derived from their biology, maybe our genes have more of an influence over our personalities and behaviours than we like to think? And Nancy Segal agrees, Director of the Twin Studies Centre at California State University in the USA. She has spent her career studying twins. She's found that nearly every trait, whether it be behavioural or physiological, has a genetic component to it. Anand is sure to leave you thinking that Sam, his sister and all the other twins across the globe, really are special!

What if the key to better sex isn't new, but rooted in ancestral knowledge? In this episode, Shan sits down with storyteller, mythologist, and ancient erotica expert Seema Anand to explore the rich, and yes, deeply sexy, history of sexual liberation, and why it's never really been a modern idea. Together, they unpack what it means to reconnect with your desire through ancestry, ritual, and unapologetic self-expression. We talk sex positions (yes, the Kama Sutra makes an appearance), the role of storytelling in the bedroom, and how wearing your desire, literally, can be one of the boldest, most freeing things you do. This conversation even inspired a whole jewelry line. The Kama Collection is a tribute to sensuality, intention, and the art of not hiding your hunger.

This week, we're diving into what happens when a partner asks you to change, whether it's a small behavioral change or a big fundamental or values change. Regardless of what kind, change can be difficult, for both the one asking for change and the one being asked to change.
