While Tipu Sultan was driven to construct a modern, self-reliant industrial power, his domestic economic policies caused severe disruption for the merchant community of the Bengaluru Pete. Drawing from surveyor Francis Buchanan's 1800 records, this episode examines how trade bans, state monopolies under the Malik-ut-Tujjar, the abolition of private banking, forced state purchases, and an armed thorn hedge enclosure threatened the 250-year-old open marketplace. Key Details from the Script: Francis Buchanan's 1800 Survey: Primary accounts of Tipu's economic administration were documented by British surveyor Francis Buchanan in May 1800, capturing the grievances of Pete merchants following the fall of Mysore. The Canteroy Pagoda (Kanteeraya Varaha): Though coins from across India circulated in the Pete, bookkeeping was standardized in the Kanteeraya varaha, a currency introduced in 1638 by Ranadheera Kanteerava Narasaraja Wadiyar I that persisted until the British standardized the Rupee. Moral Controls & Regional Trade Bans: Reversing Hyder Ali's laissez-faire policies, Tipu banned liquor, white poppy, and hemp cultivation. He also prohibited trade with Arcot and Hyderabad—disrupting key silk, cotton, and export markets. State Monopolies & Financial Control: Essential commodities—sandalwood, pepper, tobacco, cardamom, gold, silver, and sulphur—were nationalized under the Malik-ut-Tujjar (chief of commerce). Tipu also abolished private banking and independent brokers (Shettys), centralizing hundi paper credit under state offices. Forced Purchases & The Thorn Barrier: Merchants were forced to purchase state surplus goods at above-market prices, draining private capital. Furthermore, an armed thorn hedge enclosure was built around the Pete, restricting free movement and movement of goods in a historically open market town.

Every morning in Mahim, Vijay Raut sold cutting chai to taxi drivers, construction workers and bank staff, until the BMC's pavement drive took away his stall. Now he serves from a flask. He's not alone: across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram, street vendors are caught between clean-city drives and a system that never gave them secure space. In this episode, we look at India's Rs 8,000 crore-a-day street food economy, the real hygiene risks, why regulation without infrastructure backfires, and what Singapore's hawker centres might teach us about keeping street food safe and visible.

In this episode of In Focus Weekend Podcast, we speak to Chandan Gowda, a noted sociologist. He is currently the Dean of School of Liberal Arts, Vidyashilp University, Bengaluru. He has formerly worked with National Law School of India University Bengaluru, Azim Premji University and Institute of Social and Economic Change. His recent book "Longing for an Elsewhere: Mysore and the making of India's Developmental State", traces the trajectory of the model of development free india adopted to one of its origins in the Mysore state during colonial times. It argues development is not just an economic argument, but deeply cultural. The book is also interesting in how it traces the rise of technocrats and experts in the administration and records contemporary dissent. The book while dealing with history surprisingly speaks to contemporary concerns. Host: Aditya Bharadwaj Producer: Shiksha Jural Video: Ravichandran N Learn more about your ad choices.

How did a kingdom stripped of its primary commercial ports transform itself into an industrial powerhouse? In this episode, Ramjee Chandran traces the origin of two defining Mysorean legacies: silk and lacquerware toys. From 12-year expeditions sent to China for silkworms to treadmill-pumped mulberry fields outside Bengaluru's old city gates, discover how Tipu Sultan built a closed-loop textile ecosystem and laid the foundation for modern Karnataka's sericulture industry Key Details from the Script: 1786 Sericulture Expeditions: Tipu Sultan dispatched diplomatic missions to China (lasting 12 years) and Bengal (lasting 4 years) to procure silkworms and expert reelers. On September 26, 1786, Tipu wrote to Syed Mahommed, commandant of Srirangapatna fort, ordering temporary housing for the incoming Bengal silkworms near the old palace to commence breeding. Hyder Ali's Early Foundations: Sericulture in Mysore began under Hyder Ali prior to 1782. Artisans brought from Uraiyur (Trichy) and roughly 300 reelers from Bengal established bamboo mounting frames and silk-reeling techniques at Srirangapatna. Global Trade & Sourcing: Letters from April and May 1786 show Tipu directing Mir Kazim, manager of the Muscat trade post in Oman, to collect silkworms, Persian saffron seeds, and pearls from Bahrain and Hormuz. The Bengaluru Supply Chain: Outside the eastern Halasooru Gate near Sampangi Tank (modern Sampangirama Nagar), human-powered treadmills pumped lake water to cultivate mulberry bushes. These crops fed silkworm breeding units that supplied raw thread directly to looms inside the Bengaluru pete. Refuting the Colonial "Failure" Narrative: British translator William Kirkpatrick (1811) dismissed Tipu's sericulture project as "unsuccessful". In reality, the imported yellow silkworm adapted to the local climate without hibernating, producing the resilient "Pure Mysore race" that anchors modern silk production. Long-Term Industry Evolution: The Channapatna-Srirangapatna corridor became Mysore's permanent silk belt. It was expanded later by Italian entrepreneur de Vecchi (Kengeri filature, 1866) and Jamsetji Tata (Tata Silk Farm in Basavanagudi, 1896). Channapatna Manufacturing Hub: Beyond sericulture, Channapatna transitioned from metal and precision crafting—such as veena strings—into the famous lacquerware toy manufacturing town that exists today.

Join Ravi Shekhar, Founder and CEO of Terra-X, for an honest, no-nonsense exploration of sustainable fashion-tech and the real mechanics of eco-friendly footwear manufacturing. The fashion industry produces billions of shoes annually, yet the vast majority end up in landfills—bound together by non-biodegradable synthetic polymers, petroleum-based foams, and toxic glues. While many legacy brands rely on "greenwashing" buzzwords and superficial recycled-plastic marketing, real sustainability requires a fundamental overhaul of supply chains, materials, and product performance. Drawing from extensive global experience working across Milan, international sourcing networks, and top-tier luxury labels (Armani, Dior, Marc Jacobs), Ravi shares how Terra-X builds high-performance, 95%+ bio-based footwear that rivals synthetics in durability while gently returning to the earth.

For over a year, India's restaurant association couldn't get Swiggy to return its calls. Then Rapido launched a food delivery app that charges restaurants zero commission — and Swiggy sent fifteen people to Bengaluru for an urgent meeting within days.The restaurants have a real grievance. On Swiggy and Zomato, commissions, ads, and discounts can eat up nearly a third of every order. On Rapido's platform, restaurants keep almost all of it.It's a good deal for restaurants. But even restaurant owners are wondering if it might be too good a deal to last.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

There's been a lot of excitement in the cancer research field recently. Preliminary results from a trial with patients who had melanoma or skin cancer, showed that a ‘cancer vaccine' had been successful in reducing the recurrence of melanoma tumours. This vaccine, called instamaren autogene, is based on mRNA technology – the same tech that was used to manufacture Covid vaccines during the pandemic. A number of other trials across the world are also looking into how mRNA vaccines can help prevent the recurrence of certain hard-to-treat cancers. So what are these new therapies and what cancer do they treat? Why are they called vaccines when they don't actually prevent cancer? How does mRNA tech work and how is AI helpful in this? Will these personalised treatments be available in India any time soon and how expensive will they be?

Based in New Delhi, he leads Austrade across six South Asian markets, including India, after previously leading its work across Southeast Asia. Earlier, he founded and led Asialink Business and spent more than a decade at KPMG advising companies across Asia. Born in Bengaluru, Mukund moved to Australia as an international student at 18, later earning an MBA from MIT Sloan and pursuing a PhD at Melbourne Business School. In this conversation with Vidit, Mukund shares his unlikely journey from a cricket-obsessed teenager in Bengaluru to moving to Australia alone at 18 — where he struggled so badly that he almost left after his first year — and ultimately returning to India as a senior Australian diplomat. He reflects on working on an $8.5 billion deal at 23 that “broke” him, losing business pitches for nearly three years before the wins finally came, and being initially dismissed as too young before becoming Asialink Business CEO at 34. Mukund also explains why he still pursues a PhD despite a demanding career, what 55 pieces of “scathing” academic feedback taught him about staying humble, and the leadership lessons he learnt across 750 consultations with Nicholas Moore. They also explore why India offers a front-row seat to global competition, the rapidly growing commercial relationship between India and Australia, and what Mukund has learnt from building a career across some of Asia's most important markets.

For decades, sending an electric current into the brain meant a hospital, a doctor, and a diagnosis. A Bengaluru startup called Mave Health wants to move it into your daily routine. Its Rs 30,000 headset uses tDCS, a low current to the prefrontal cortex, to ease stress before it builds. The technology is decades old and well-evidenced. What's new is who controls it. Mave sells directly to consumers, no prescription and no regulator sign-off, on the argument that it's simply a consumer electronic. The Ken reporter Sudeshna Ray wore one herself to find out how that feels. Can medicine's oldest question: who gets to treat your brain, survive being sold like earphones?Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

This year, residents in several Indian cities -from Mumbai to Bengaluru - have experienced a shortage in water supply. India's big cities are expanding in terms of size and population. This has also meant a strain on existing resources such as land and water. We have already seen cities such as Bengaluru attempting to implement restrictions on use of potable water for non-potable purposes. But do our cities need more than that to ensure water security for the future? How water stressed are Indian cities?

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, the government notifies its Rs 62,500-crore mobile manufacturing scheme as it pushes for deeper local sourcing. Rapido's Ownly reaches 50,000 daily food orders in Bengaluru, two senior executives exit Flipkart, Crane doubles down on India's deeptech and AI startups, and Atomberg files draft IPO papers with a fresh issue of up to Rs 450 crore.

A closer look at one of the sharpest threads from our full conversation with Mohandas Pai. The complete episode - covering the Gen Z protests, the NEET crisis and India's youth unemployment story, along with everything below - is live here: https://youtu.be/hG48jHX7xks This cut focuses on the politics underneath it all: foreign funding, the Congress's search for direction, and what's actually broken in how India is governed. Pai opens with a hard line on foreign money in Indian civil society: no foreign funds for advocacy, no foreign funds for politics, and no exceptions for NGOs who want to influence Indian public life without raising money from Indians first. He questions the funding and online amplification behind recent protest movements, and argues India's FCRA framework - tightened originally under Indira Gandhi - exists precisely to prevent outside actors from shaping domestic politics and religious life. From there, the conversation turns to the Congress party's decline, with Pai arguing the party has failed to offer a real alternative to the government's delivery on basic needs - water, power, bank accounts, gas connections - and that without a clear agenda beyond cash guarantees, its Karnataka government under Siddaramaiah has little to show after three years. He makes the case for job creation over subsidies, using Karnataka's own numbers on jobs needed versus jobs delivered, and points to Bengaluru's recent civic turnaround as proof that leadership and accountability - not bigger budgets - are what change outcomes on the ground. The conversation closes on India's justice system: why the country has a fraction of the judges per capita that other democracies do, why delays in prosecuting corruption cases erode public trust, and what accountability would actually require. If you want the full context - including the NEET and jobs conversation that precedes this - the complete episode is linked above. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - Foreign money in Indian advocacy and politics (01:46) - The case for India's FCRA law (04:37) - Foreign funding, NGOs & accountability (06:43) - Religious conversion, foreign money & the churches (09:04) - Tech platforms, bots & the funding behind recent protests (10:27) - "What is the alternative Congress is giving?"

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Razorpay brings AI deeper into payments with a foundation model trained on nearly 3 trillion data points across 4 billion transactions. Odisha raises its semiconductor subsidy under Semicon 2.0 as it targets more OSAT, packaging and component companies. In Bengaluru, ORRCA wants major road works delayed until the Namma Metro becomes operational, while Swiggy reshuffles leadership across Instamart and its food delivery business.

What does it say about our cities when the Supreme Court has to remind governments that people have a fundamental right to walk? The Court's recent judgment on footpaths has put a very basic question back on the table - who does the city actually make space for, the pedestrian or the vehicle? In cities like Bengaluru, the answer is visible on the street. Footpaths are taken over by parking, vendors, utility infrastructure and construction, while in several places there is barely a footpath to begin with. But is “encroachment” really the problem, or have we never planned our streets around pedestrians in the first place? So, what does the Supreme Court's decision mean for metropolitan cities, and what would it take for Bengaluru and other metro cities to become a city where walking is treated as a right rather than an afterthought?

The Karnataka Government has been championing a project to build a nearly 10,000 acre Live-Work-Play greenfield city on its outskirts in Bidadi, which has become a political flashpoint as farmers oppose land acquisition. All our mega cities seem to be saturated, overpopulated and congested. As a country we seem to be looking at ways of decongesting them. As Bengaluru seeks to embark on a similar trajectory as other mega cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad which have experimented building satellite towns, we ask whether building such greenfield towns on the peripheries of these cities, really the way ahead. To discuss this, urban planning, policy and governance expert Champaka Rajgopal, Fellow, Centre for Policy Research, Delhi, joins us on the In Focus podcast. She brings over 25 years of experience of having worked with national, state and local governments in India and abroad on urban policy, planning and governance. She has worked on a Master Plan for Bengaluru, Structural Plan for Bengaluru Metropolitan Region, Perspective Plan for Bengaluru - Mumbai Economic Corridor and the Earlier Draft Development Plan for Greater Mumbai - 2034.

VOV1 - Sau hơn một thập kỷ nhiều lần đình trệ vì biến động chính trị, dự án xây dựng thành phố Amaravati trở thành thủ phủ mới của bang Andhra Pradesh, Ấn Độ đang được tăng tốc trở lại. Thành phố được kỳ vọng không chỉ trở thành trung tâm hành chính mà còn là hình mẫu đô thị xanh, thông minh.Giữa vùng đồng bằng màu mỡ bên dòng sông Krishna, nơi từng chỉ có những cánh đồng lúa và vườn chuối, một đại công trường khổng lồ đang dần hiện ra. Hàng chục nghìn công nhân, cần cẩu và máy xúc làm việc ngày đêm để “bừng tỉnh” Amaravati – thành phố được kỳ vọng sẽ trở thành thủ phủ mới của bang Andhra Pradesh và là hình mẫu đô thị hiện đại của Ấn Độ.Đó là giấc mơ mà Thủ hiến bang Andhra Pradesh, ông N. Chandrababu Naidu, đã theo đuổi suốt hơn một thập kỷ. Ông muốn xây dựng Amaravati theo cảm hứng từ Singapore: một thành phố xanh, nơi người dân có thể sống, làm việc và di chuyển thuận tiện, chứ không chỉ là nơi tập trung các tòa nhà hành chính: “Singapore đã duy trì một hình mẫu chuẩn mực trong suốt 6 đến 7 thập kỷ qua, dù là một quốc gia nhỏ nhưng họ có cách tiếp cận nhất quán và năng động. Nhờ đó, họ đã đạt được thành công. Chúng ta đã nghiên cứu về Singapore rất rõ ràng. Phản hồi lại những gì chúng ta gửi đi, Singapore đã đưa ra một mô hình.  Mặc dù chúng ta tiếp nhận tất cả những kinh nghiệm thực tiễn tuyệt vời từ họ, nhưng chỉ khi chúng ta áp dụng nó vào thực tế thì nó mới tạo ra giá trị gia tăng. Còn nếu không được triển khai, nó sẽ mãi chỉ là lý thuyết”.Ngược dòng thời gian về năm 2014, khi bang Andhra Pradesh bị chia tách và thành phố Hyderabad – trung tâm kinh tế, công nghệ của bang này – thuộc về bang Telangana. Thành phố Amaravati vì thế được lựa chọn để xây dựng từ đầu như một thủ phủ hoàn toàn mới.Thế nhưng, dự án nhanh chóng rơi vào bế tắc. Sau khi chính quyền thay đổi, kế hoạch phân tán các cơ quan nhà nước sang ba thành phố khiến nhiều công trình bị bỏ dở. Hàng chục nghìn nông dân đã tự nguyện góp đất cho dự án phải chờ đợi suốt nhiều năm trong khi những cánh đồng đã không còn được canh tác.Đến năm 2026, Amaravati chính thức được xác nhận là thủ phủ duy nhất của bang, mở đường cho các dự án hạ tầng khởi động trở lại. Hiện nay, khoảng 25.000 công nhân đang làm việc mỗi ngày trên khu vực rộng hơn 200 km².Điểm đặc biệt của Amaravati nằm ở triết lý quy hoạch. Khoảng 60% diện tích thành phố được dành cho cây xanh, mặt nước và không gian công cộng. Hệ thống hồ điều hòa, kênh đào và hành lang thoát lũ được thiết kế để vừa tạo cảnh quan, vừa giảm nguy cơ ngập trong mùa mưa. Hàng nghìn kilômét đường dành cho xe đạp sẽ kết nối khu dân cư, trường học, công viên và các trung tâm thương mại.Tham vọng của thành phố cũng không dừng ở vai trò thủ phủ hành chính. Chính quyền bang đang phát triển “Thung lũng Lượng tử” – khu công nghệ hướng tới nghiên cứu trí tuệ nhân tạo, điện toán lượng tử và bán dẫn, với mục tiêu thu hút các tập đoàn công nghệ và trường đại học, tạo ra một cực tăng trưởng mới cạnh tranh với Bengaluru và Hyderabad.Để hiện thực hóa kế hoạch này, Andhra Pradesh đang triển khai các dự án có tổng giá trị gần 7 tỷ USD. Đây được xem là một trong những chương trình xây dựng đô thị lớn nhất của Ấn Độ hiện nay.Với Ấn Độ, Amaravati chính là phép thử quan trọng: liệu một quốc gia hơn 1,4 tỷ dân có thể xây dựng từ đầu một thành phố hiện đại, bền vững và thực sự đáng sống. Nếu hoàn thành đúng kế hoạch vào năm 2028, Amaravati có thể trở thành hình mẫu mới cho các đô thị tương lai của quốc gia Nam Á này./.Đình Nam/VOV New DelhiThủ hiến bang Andhra Pradesh, ông N.

In September 2022, Bengaluru's worst urban floods in recent memory swallowed the Outer Ring Road, including areas like Bellandur, Marathahalli, Mahadevapura, while the metro's Blue Line was under active construction through the same corridor.Three years later, the metro corporation still wasn't in the room when the city held its monsoon preparedness meeting. It was never invited.Weeks after that meeting, a hailstorm hit. Eight people died in an accident. The flooded areas sat directly above the upcoming Pink Line.Mumbai. Pune. Bengaluru. Same story, different cities. India is spending over Rs 2 lakh crore building metros that keep flooding the cities they're meant to fix. But the gap lies between the agencies building the city's infrastructure and the ones meant to take care of its drainage.Tune in.*Apply to become The Ken's Intermission Producer *Apply for an audio production internshipDaybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Why did Bengaluru - a city that could have been India's New York, Chicago or Tokyo - collapse into traffic, flooding, garbage, water shortage and "work in progress" chaos? Former Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao (IPS) sits down with Bharatvaarta for an unflinching conversation on urban governance, the broken BBMP-mayor system, police reforms, corruption, and the political rot he calls the single most dangerous force in the country. From the Bengaluru of the 1970s to today's civic breakdown, Bhaskar Rao explains WHO actually runs Bengaluru (and why nobody is accountable), why the mayor is treated "like a beggar," how weak Chief Ministers and professional politicians hollowed out the city, why India's laws punish a pickpocket harder than a killer on the road, and what real police reform in India would look like. He also shares extraordinary stories from the COVID frontline, the CAA protests, and a policing career that ran from Kosovo to Karnataka. This is essential viewing for anyone who cares about Bengaluru, urban India, governance, and the future of policing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 - Cold open 01:40 - Bhaskar Rao on Bharatvaarta: the introduction 02:21 - Why policing in India is harder than ever 03:54 - Cybercrime: the frontline police aren't trained for 06:24 - The Bengaluru that was & how migration changed it 09:09 - "Bengaluru could be New York": what governance destroyed 11:20 - The mayor as a beggar: who actually runs Bengaluru? 16:11 - "The answer is punishment": weak laws & weak CMs 17:09 - Roads, safety & the ₹5,000 price of a human life 23:30 - The British hangover: how bad governance corrupts police 25:53 - Courage & COVID: how Bengaluru police fed a whole city 34:08 - "Keep your hands clean": the Virat Kohli test 39:09 - Police corruption vs political corruption 43:22 - The reforms India's police actually need 44:53 - Staying calm in the CAA protests & how officers get used 50:57 - Gen Z, term limits & why professional politicians are the most dangerous ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Tenants across India's six biggest metros have handed landlords Rs 1.26 trillion in security deposits, a new NoBroker study estimates. Around $15 billion of tenant money, refundable in name, sits in landlords' accounts earning interest for people it does not belong to. In this episode, host Snigdha Sharma ask what a deposit actually costs a renter, and arrives at a number: nearly a month's rent, every year. The same tenant who pays 2 months' deposit in Mumbai is asked for 10 in Bengaluru, and in Delhi NCR, about 4 in 10 never got their full deposit back. Renting was meant to be a phase. But with home ownership drifting out of reach, tenants may be extending this loan for decades.Tune in.Recommendations:It sucks to be a tenant in Bengaluru right now*Take The Ken's audit hereDaybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

We also unpack the June quarter results of Wipro and Tech Mahindra, look at Bengaluru's new mandatory counselling sessions for traffic rule-violating gig workers, and explain why Ather Energy's Rs 1,300 crore QIP has attracted bids worth over Rs 10,000 crore.

In this episode, Monika reflects on returning from Berlin and explains why she still believes India is one of the best places to live despite its many shortcomings. From responsive customer service and quick healthcare to UPI, home deliveries, affordable domestic help, and thriving consumer services, she shares ten everyday conveniences that make life in India remarkably easy. While acknowledging problems like poor urban infrastructure and pollution, she argues that India's optimism and constant improvement outweigh many of its frustrations.She contrasts India's strengths with Europe's, noting that while Europe often offers better public infrastructure, India increasingly excels in affordability, convenience, and responsiveness. Her message is one of perspective: it's important to recognise India's challenges, but equally important to appreciate how much everyday life has improved through innovation, entrepreneurship, and better private services.In listener questions, Chiranth from Bengaluru asks how to research and shortlist mutual funds, leading Monika to explain her framework for evaluating long-term fund performance and consistency.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we explain why Indian enterprises are increasingly choosing Chinese AI models like DeepSeek and Qwen over their US rivals. We also unpack Swiggy's move closer to Indian-owned company status and what it could mean for Instamart, look at Flipkart's latest ESOP buyback that values the company at $38.2 billion, and discuss Cult.fit's IPO plans. Plus, a quick update on Bengaluru-based spacetech startup GalaxEye, which has lost contact with its maiden Earth observation satellite, Mission Drishti, after a geomagnetic solar storm.

Once known as a garden city and a pensioner's paradise, Bengaluru has undergone extraordinary economic and demographic change over the past three decades. While growth has brought opportunity, it has also reshaped everyday life in ways that go far beyond traffic and waste. This second edition of The Bengaluru Debates turns a critical lens on our city to ask whether it still supports healthy lives for its citizens. Public health research increasingly shows that the roots of urban ill-health lie not only in hospitals or clinics, but in planning, infrastructure, and governance. Air quality, water and sanitation, food systems, mobility, housing design, open spaces, and access to light and ventilation all shape how healthy a city allows its people to be. Yet these questions rarely enter public debate in Bengaluru. Opening with a short context setting, the session will move into a panel discussion between Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon'ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka; Dr. C N Ashwath Narayan, Former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Malleshwaram; Dr. Shreelata Rao Seshadri, Professor and Director, Ramalingaswami Centre for Equity and Social Determinants of Health, Public Health Foundation of India(PHFI). Moderated by Srikanth Viswanathan, CEO, Janaagraha, the panel will reflect on the relationship between the health of a city and the that of its citizens: what Bengaluru must rethink to secure a healthier future. The session will also include a talk by Nachiket Mor, Economist & Health Systems Researcher. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. The Bengaluru Debates: A BIC–Janaagraha Dialogue Series on Urban Governance in Bengaluru and Beyond aims to expand civic space in the city by fostering conversations through a civic lens. The series is designed to be informative, constructive, and entertaining, while also serving as a trigger for local community action. Its objective is to bridge the gap between policy, practice, and public discourse on urban governance challenges, and to catalyse citizen and policymaker engagement towards systemic solutions. In collaboration with: Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy, founded in 2001 in Bengaluru, is dedicated to transforming the quality of life in India's cities and towns. Their mission is to strengthen the systems of urban governance so that cities can deliver clean, green, safe, and liveable environments for all citizens. For them, "quality of life" is not only about infrastructure and services, but equally about responsive institutions, citizen engagement, and transparent, data-driven governance. In this episode of BIC Talks, Dinesh Gundu Rao, C N Ashwath Narayan, Shreelata Rao Seshadri and Nachiket Mor will be in conversation with Srikanth Viswanathan.

Who powers the cloud infrastructure behind NBC, Warner Bros. Discovery, Olympics, and the Super Bowl?Amagi, built out of an office on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru. What started there grew into a company that went public at an $825 million valuation and today has a market cap of over $1.3 billion, earns 73% of its revenue from the US, and proved that world-class enterprise technology can be built in India and sold to the world.Co-founders Srividhya Srinivasan and Baskar Subramanian take us back to the days after selling their first startup to a NASDAQ-listed chipmaker, when they landed on an idea almost nobody in India's broadcast industry believed in: regionalizing satellite TV ads.That business grew to ₹180 crore in revenue. Then the founders made a bold call: "Enough of this hardware mess. We'll host only on the cloud." It meant shutting down an 8 year old profitable business to back a cloud platform that was barely making a few crores. That decision transformed Amagi into the company it is today.18 years later, Amagi went public, as a strong example of building a truly global enterprise software company from India. But the IPO itself was far from an obvious decision. The founders share why going public was the right choice despite not needing capital.This episode will tell you how category-defining companies are built.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - How three college kids became founders04:55 - The startup idea validated by a palmist07:10 - How founders split roles (w/o designations)11:04 - What Amagi 2.0 does14:29 - Bannerghatta Road runs Olympics for the US15:54 - Only 10% of TV networks are on the cloud16:50 - Why shut down a profitable business?21:25 - Why one co-founder moved to the US28:06 - Did Amagi really need the IPO?31:10 - What is Amagi 2.0?36:04 - Selling to the US: then vs. now40:44 - How NBC signed with Amagi43:56 - How intent is measured through contracts46:58 - 5 major decisions that changed Amagi52:08 - How AI is changing Amagi57:45 - Being the CTO of a public company1:02:57 - US vs India Market: US is fast to experiment1:04:48 - Enterprises Need Human Touch1:11:12 - Cloud and TV: No one Believed1:13:34 - What will Happen to Hollywood-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

A new youth protest movement in India that started as online satire is now staging an ongoing sit-in in New Delhi calling for the resignation of India's education minister.The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was launched in late May by Abhijeet Dipke, a graduate of Boston University, in response to alleged comments by India's chief justice, Surya Kant, comparing unemployed young Indians to cockroaches. Dipke launched a parody political party, calling on all cockroaches to unite, which led to street protests in cities including Delhi, Pune, Jaipur and Bengaluru.The CJP latched onto mounting anger in India at a series of issues affecting exams, including the secondary school leaving exam, which has affected thousands of people and been linked to suicides. But the movement has also tapped into the anger of a generation of graduates who've done everything right but still can't find work that matches their aspirations.In this episode economist Rosa Abraham at Azim Premji University, explains how India's jobs crisis is fuelling this new youth protest movement. This episode was written and produced by Gemma Ware and Mend Mariwany. Mixing by Michelle Macklem and theme music by Neeta Sarl.

Eight of the ten richest men in the world built their fortunes through Big Tech. As artificial intelligence drives unprecedented profits and market power, a handful of corporations are reshaping economies, politics and societies on a global scale.In this episode of COUNTER•POWER, host Nick Dearden is joined by Sofia Scasserra of the Transnational Institute and Anita Gurumurthy of IT for Change to examine the rise of the new tech empires, the political power of Silicon Valley's billionaires, and the growing resistance to their influence around the world.Together they explore whether today's tech giants are simply the modern successors to the robber barons of the nineteenth century—or whether we are entering something entirely new: a world of techno-feudalism, where control over digital infrastructure and data underpins unprecedented forms of economic and political power.The conversation ranges from the impact of Big Tech on economies in the Global South to the growing debate around digital sovereignty, and asks what progressive movements should be demanding in the face of AI-driven transformation.In this episode: Why opposition to Big Tech has grown so rapidly in recent years The essential role of trade unions and what they need to do to win back younger generations The promises and pitfalls of digital sovereignty Resistance to AI infrastructure, including struggles against data centres Lessons from movements challenging Big Tech across Asia and Latin America As governments compete for technological supremacy and corporations consolidate ever greater power, this episode asks a crucial question: what would a democratic, just and internationally accountable digital future look like—and how do we fight for it?GuestsAnita Gurumurthy is Executive Director of IT for Change, a Bengaluru-based organisation working on issues of digital justice, governance and development.Learn More and Donate HereFollow IT for ChangeInstagramX/TwitterYouTubeSofia Scasserra is a researcher and fellow at the Transnational Institute based in Argentina, focusing on digital economies, trade and the political economy of technology.Learn More and Donate HereFollow Transnational InstituteInstagramBlueskyTikTokYouTubeABOUT THE PODCASTCOUNTER•POWER is brought to you by Stop Trump Coalition, Another Europe Is Possible and Global Justice Now, three organisations at the centre of the new global resistance. This podcast isn't just about chatting and conversation — it's about turning ideas into action and building real community power. Any donation – big or small – can help us get there.
