In this episode, Dr. Ashwin Mehta joins us to talk about how AI is quietly changing the way we think, learn, and make decisions. Drawing from his global career in pharma, government, and consulting, from building digital learning systems in West Africa to leading AI strategy at Bayer — Ashwin shares why he's dedicated his work to keeping the “human” at the center of technology.We explore how trust in AI can evolve from confidence to dependency, what “agentic AI” really means for the future of work, and the mental habits we risk losing as machines start thinking for us. Ashwin also reflects on what he still refuses to let AI handle, and why maintaining human judgment may be the ultimate competitive edge in an increasingly automated world.Dr. Ashwin Mehta helps organizations adopt AI in ways that put people first. With a PhD in digital learning adoption and over 20 years across pharma, government, consulting, and international health, he focuses on the intersection of technology, human capital, and transformation. His experience includes leading AI-enabled learning at Bayer, advising enterprises and governments at Deloitte, and building digital training systems in West Africa during crises.As founder of Mehtadology, Ashwin designs AI strategies that align technology with human potential, covering topics from large language models to intelligent automation while addressing readiness, infrastructure, and culture. His research and writing offer insights on adaptive learning, AI ROI, and the cognitive impacts of delegating decisions to machines.
With the 2025 Federal Budget vote looming, Ashwin from the International Solidarity Podcast joins Blueprints host Jessa McLean to breakdown some of the $141 Billion in new spending and the cuts that will pay for it all.The biggest ticket item, $89 million for the Canadian Armed Forces, generates a discussion on global politics, the so-called 'elbows up movement' and the appetite for military spending the electorate seems to have.Together they compare the budget to campaign promises, the Throne Speech and the demands of the political 'opposition'. Jessa and Ashwin also discuss the likelihood of the budget passing, and what that will mean for Canadian politics.

Ashwin Bhat, der CEO von Lufthansa Cargo, hat sich am Rande der BVL Supply Chain CX mit unserem Host Boris Felgendreher zu einem umfangreichen Gespräch rund um die Zukunft der Luftfracht in der globalen Logistik getroffen. Dabei ging es unter anderem um folgende Themen: Einführung & Werdegang von Ashwin – Seine Reise von Indien über die Schweiz nach Deutschland; Ausbildung in Chemie, erster Job bei Swissair Cargo 1992, später CEO von Lufthansa Cargo. Vorstellung der Lufthansa Cargo Gruppe – Mischung aus Belly-Kapazität (Passagiermaschinen) und Frachtflugzeugen, globale Präsenz, Fokus auf Qualität, Zuverlässigkeit und Fachkompetenz. Veränderungen der Branche seit 1992 – Von Fax und Telex zu digitaler Kommunikation, riesiger technologischer Fortschritt, Einstieg von Digitalisierung, KI und Nachhaltigkeit. Aktuelle globale Lage – Geopolitische Unsicherheiten, wirtschaftliche Volatilität, aber Chancen durch Wandel; „Globalisierung ist nicht tot, sie verändert sich.“ Verschiebung globaler Handelsströme – Wachstum in Südostasien, Nordafrika und Südamerika; neue Handelsrouten, neue Güter wie Halbleiter. E-Commerce-Boom – Überraschend starkes Wachstum aus China, dauerhafte Veränderung des Konsumverhaltens, kein vorübergehendes Phänomen. Wichtige Luftfracht-Segmente – Hochwertige Güter: Pharmazeutika, Halbleiter, Automotive, Valuables. Luftfracht = 2 % des Welthandelsvolumens, aber 35 % des Werts. Digitale Transformation bei Lufthansa Cargo – Einführung von Automatisierung, KI-Tools, Digitalisierung von Buchungen, Transparenz durch IATA „One Record“. Rolle der Menschen trotz Technologie – „Air Cargo war, ist und bleibt ein People Business“ – Technologie bringt Effizienz, aber Beziehungen bleiben menschlich. KI-Anwendungen – Automatisierte Buchungen, fahrerlose Fahrzeuge im Lager, persönlicher KI-Einsatz. Nachhaltigkeit – Fokus auf neue Flugzeuge, nachhaltige Treibstoffe (SAF), Elektrifizierung am Boden, Solarenergie; Problem: geringe SAF-Verfügbarkeit & ungleiche Regulierung in Europa. Sicherheits- und Risikofaktoren – Drohnen, Cybersecurity, gefährliche Güter (z. B. Lithiumbatterien), daher Fokus auf Sicherheitskultur. Kundenbeziehungen & Wertewandel – Weg vom reinen Preis-/Kapazitätsdenken hin zu Ethik, Sicherheit, Zuverlässigkeit, nachhaltigen Lösungen. Blick in die Zukunft – Globalisierung im Wandel, neue Güter und Kunden, technologische Veränderungen, Fokus auf Führung, Anpassungsfähigkeit und Mut („Bold Moves“).

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Varanasi's Hidden Past: An Archaeological Diwali Revelation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-10-27-07-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: वराणसी की प्राचीन गलियों में, जहां गंगा की लहरों की शांति और मंदिरों की धुनें गूंजती हैं, उनके बीच एक विशेष अभियान शुरू हो चुका था।En: In the ancient lanes of Varanasi, where the tranquility of the Ganga river's waves and the tunes of temples echo, a special expedition had begun.Hi: इस अभियान का नेतृत्व कर रहे थे अरुण। वे एक योग्य पुरातत्वविद् थे, जो प्राचीन सभ्यताओं के रहस्यों को खोजने के लिए कृतसंकल्प थे।En: Leading this expedition was Arun, a skilled archaeologist determined to unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations.Hi: उनके साथ थीं कविता, जिन्हें इतिहास से वर्तमान जोड़ने का शौक था, और रिया, जो हाल ही में इस काम में मेघावी होकर शामिल हुई थीं।En: Accompanying him were Kavita, who had a passion for linking history to the present, and Riya, a bright new addition to the team.Hi: शरद ऋतु की इस सुहानी दोपहर में, कच्चे पत्तों की आवाज और मंदिर की घंटियों की गूंज शहर को संगीतमय बना रही थी।En: On this pleasant autumn afternoon, the sound of falling leaves and the chiming of temple bells made the city musical.Hi: आश्विन मास का यह विशेष पर्व, दीपावली, करीब आ चुका था, और उसके साथ ही अभियान से जुड़े समय की सीमा भी।En: The special festival of Diwali in the month of Ashwin was approaching, and with it, so was the deadline for the expedition.Hi: "हमें और मेहनत करनी होगी," अरुण ने अपनी टीम से कहा।En: "We need to work harder," Arun told his team.Hi: दीपावली के आने से उनके पास काम खत्म करने का समय कम होता जा रहा था।En: The arrival of Diwali meant they had less time to complete their work.Hi: उनका विश्वास था कि वे कुछ महत्वपूर्ण खोजने के बेहद करीब हैं।En: He believed they were very close to an important discovery.Hi: कविता ने कुछ पुराने दस्तावेजों और नक्शों के आधार पर एक स्थान की ओर इशारा किया।En: Based on some old documents and maps, Kavita pointed to a location.Hi: "यह जगह महत्वपूर्ण हो सकती है," उसने कहा।En: "This place could be significant," she said.Hi: वह उस क्षेत्र में खुदाई का प्रस्ताव रखती हैं, जहां उसके पुरखों का इतिहास छुपा हो सकता है।En: She proposed excavating in an area where her ancestors' history might be hidden.Hi: लेकिन अरुण की चिंता बढ़ रही थी; समय और वित्तीय दावों के दबाव का सामना कैसे करें।En: However, Arun was growing concerned about how to handle the pressure of time and financial constraints.Hi: बिना किसी को बताए, रिया एक बंद क्षेत्र की ओर खिसकी।En: Without telling anyone, Riya slipped towards a restricted area.Hi: उसकी जिज्ञासा ने उसे वहां खींच लिया, जबकि वह जानती थी कि ऐसा करना नियमों के खिलाफ है।En: Her curiosity led her there, even though she knew it was against the rules.Hi: वह अपने महत्व को साबित करना चाहती थी।En: She wanted to prove her worth.Hi: जैसे-जैसे दीपावली की रात नज़दीक आई, उनकी मेहनत रंग लायी।En: As the night of Diwali drew nearer, their hard work paid off.Hi: खुदाई के दौरान उन्हें एक विशेष कलाकृति मिली।En: During the excavation, they found a special artifact.Hi: यह कृति ऐसी थी, जो संभवतः वाराणसी के इतिहास को नए सिरे से लिख सकती थी।En: This piece could possibly rewrite the history of Varanasi.Hi: परंतु इसकी प्रामाणिकता पर सवाल उठने लगे क्योंकि इसकी बनावट असामान्य थी।En: However, questions arose about its authenticity because of its unusual craftsmanship.Hi: अंततः, जब दीपावली की रोशनी ने पूरे शहर को जगमगा दिया, तो वह कलाकृति प्रामाणिक साबित हुई।En: Ultimately, when the lights of Diwali illuminated the entire city, the artifact was proven to be authentic.Hi: अरुण की मेहनत और विश्वास का परिणाम सफल हुआ, कविता की शोध ने उसके पुश्तैनी जड़ों से उसे फिर जोड़ा, और रिया के रहस्यमय खोज ने इस कलाकृति के लिए आवश्यक संदर्भ प्रदान किया।En: Arun's hard work and trust paid off, Kavita's research reconnected her with her ancestral roots, and Riya's mysterious find provided the crucial context needed for the artifact.Hi: इस सफल खोज ने अरुण को सिखाया कि कभी-कभी सहयोगी प्रयासों और अंतर्दृष्टि से अधिक विश्वास करना चाहिए।En: This successful discovery taught Arun that sometimes trusting collaborative efforts and insights is necessary.Hi: कविता ने अपने अतीत के साथ गहरा संबंध महसूस किया।En: Kavita felt a deep connection with her past.Hi: और रिया को न केवल टीम का सम्मान मिला, बल्कि उसे यह भी एहसास हुआ कि खोज को समझने के लिए संदर्भ की कितनी अहमियत होती है।En: And Riya gained not only the respect of the team but also realized how important context is for understanding discoveries.Hi: तीनों ने मिलकर दीपावली के दीप जलाए, और गंगा के किनारे खड़े होकर अपने प्रयासों की सफलता का उत्सव मनाया।En: Together, they lit the lamps of Diwali and stood by the banks of the Ganga, celebrating the success of their efforts.Hi: वाराणसी की वह रात, इतिहास को नई दिशा देने वाली बन गई।En: That night in Varanasi became one that would steer history in a new direction.

When you step into a new leadership role, do you prefer to build a team from the ground up—or inherit one that already exists?Ashwin Baskaran, VP of Engineering at Mercury, joins the show to unpack what really changes between these two scenarios—and what stays the same. From managing team dynamics to molding culture and earning trust in the first 90 days, Ashwin shares practical frameworks every engineering leader can apply.Key Takeaways• Building and inheriting share more similarities than most leaders realize—the principles of empathy, awareness, and low ego are universal.• When inheriting a team, awareness is your first superpower. Learn the organization before making moves.• Building from scratch gives freedom, but also more ways to make mistakes if you over-index on hiring people who think like you.• The best leaders telegraph intent early and seek alignment through action, not reassurance.• Feedback should be about context and priorities, not personal validation—it builds credibility and trust faster.Timestamped Highlights00:45 — The hidden overlap between building and inheriting a team03:25 — Why self-awareness and low ego are critical when replacing a leader06:51 — How “building” can lead to blind spots if you hire for similarity11:38 — Finding alignment between company values and your leadership style15:25 — How to read the room and earn feedback in your first 90 days21:47 — What to look for when interviewing for a role where you'll inherit a teamA Line That Stuck“You want to find a problem that the team and company care about—and solve it in a way that feels aligned with their values.”Call to ActionIf this conversation helps you think differently about leadership transitions, share it with someone who's stepping into a new role.

Pujara's retirement also raises a crucial question: Is there still space for Test specialists in modern-day cricket?In the latest episode of the Sledging Room podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Kingshuk Kusari and Saurabh Kumar debate whether India's modern-day greats have been short-changed in retirements.

It's another Ari Aster movie discussion -- something we didn't think we would do after our "Beau Is Afraid" experience.BUT -- "Eddington" is something different for Aster, even though it does (justifiably for some, not for others) devolve into something of a "Beau Is Afraid"-style paranoid nightmare. It's his brand of absurdly cruel personal neurosis funneled through the cruelly absurd America of the 2020s, giving this film's hellish descent into meaninglessness (more for some, less for others) potency than his other films.Listen to the full, spoiler-filled episode to hear Amartya, Cris, Dhruv, and the Cinematic Liberties Podcast Guys -- Arjun & Ashwin -- discuss the merits and demerits of Aster's latest!You can (and should!) follow -CINEMATIC LIBERTIES PODCASTDo hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.TIME CODES Introduction ("War 2 Trauma") : [00:00 - 02:39]"Eddington" (Spoiler-Free): [02:39 - 39:25]"Eddington" (Spoiler-Filled): [39:25 - 1:13:25]"Eddington" & The Western Genre: [1:13:25 - 1:49:50]Outro ("Hindsight is 2020"): [1:49:50 - 02:01:51]REVIEWS REFERENCED1.

Hello, Hello, HelloIn the latest episode of QID, Dhruv invites the creator, Arjun Sivakumar, and regular guest-cum-host of the "Cinematic Liberties Podcast", Ashwin Dev, to discuss one of the great filmic oddities of this year -- Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" (now available to rent/buy on digital platforms). Before talking about the film, the three of them talk about the "whack" legacy of the franchise itself -- first discussing, at length, the historical significance of "28 Days Later," then, briefly, discussing the somewhat unfairly maligned status of its sequel, "28 Weeks Later" (Boyle and Garland only returned as executive producers for that).Finally, the discussion about "28 Years Later" itself prompts all sorts of responses from us -- confusion, amazement, contemplation, you name it. Which -- regardless of the film's narrative flaws and tonal inconsistencies -- is what we cherish most about it.Listen to the full episode to hear all this in a spoiler-filled discussion on the entirety of the "28 [insert timeline] Later..." franchise.You can (and should!) follow -CINEMATIC LIBERTIES PODCASTDo hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.TIME CODES Introduction (inc.
