This podcast episode, hosted by Kikee Doma Bhutia from the University of Tartu, features journalist and analyst Aadil Brar discussing India's foreign policy amidst rising global tensions. The conversation focuses on India's balancing act between the US, China, and its own strategic autonomy in a contested Indo-Pacific region. Key topics include India's evolving role as a middle power, responding to China's assertiveness along the India-China border and in the Indo-Pacific, while maintaining its traditional non-alignment stance. India's foreign policy is at a crossroads, shaped by five tense years since the Galwan Valley clash with China. Despite rounds of talks, the border remains uneasy and trust is scarce. Today, China's assertiveness drives nearly every major Indian strategic decision-from military deployments and Quad partnerships to concerns over Beijing's mega-dams on the Brahmaputra. Meanwhile, the US sees India as a key counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific, but Delhi is determined to maintain its independence and avoid being boxed into alliances. As India watches China's moves from the Himalayas to Taiwan, the question is clear: Are we witnessing a true pivot in Indian foreign policy, or simply a sharp recalibration to meet new realities? The answer will shape Asia's balance of power for years to come. The podcast was brought to you by host Dr. Kikee Doma Bhutia a Research Fellow and India Coordinator at the Asia Centre, University of Tartu, Estonia. Her current research combines folkloristics, international relations and Asian studies, focusing on the role of religion and culture in times of crisis, national and regional identities, and geopolitics conflict between India and China. The podcast guest speaker Aadil Brar is a journalist and international affairs analyst based in Taipei, currently a Reporter at TaiwanPlus News. His reporting focuses on international security, U.S.-China relations, and East Asian security. Previously, he was a China news reporter for Newsweek and has contributed to the BBC World Service, The Print India, and National Geographic. In 2023, he was a Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fellow and a visiting scholar at National Chengchi University in Taipei. Brar holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of British Columbia and an MSc. in International Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. ​ Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we're taking on a topic you've probably heard of – it may have even impacted you personally. But you might not be aware just how linked it is to the issue of diversity and inclusion.   We're talking about noncompete agreements.   Noncompetes have long been a staple in corporate America. But, despite supposedly being in place to protect trade secrets, many workers, including low earners, have been subject to this practice, greatly restricting their career options, flexibility and earning potential.   And that's especially the case for underrepresented voices. A number of studies suggest that noncompete agreements more strongly affect women and people of color, with one finding that strict enforcement of noncompete agreements lowered the wages of women and people of color by twice as much as white men.   But things are starting to change. Last year, the FTC announced a rule banning noncompetes. Whilst it was largely welcomed by workers, not all employers were so happy about it.    So we're going to dive into the issue today. We're going to talk about what noncompete agreements are, how they harm workers, especially women and other underrepresented voices, and share ideas for how organizations can build trust and employee retention, without restrictive contracts.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.38] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Kiran – Founder and CEO of M2M Business Solutions, and CEO at Brar's   ·       Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO ·       Chelsey – Founder of The Asterios Group   [05.08] The group discuss noncompete agreements – what they are, their purpose, why people sign them, the challenges, and how they ultimately harm workers.   ·       Restricted transitions from employed to self-employment/entrepreneurship ·       Restricted employed career growth ·       Can they actually be managed? ·       Who really wins? ·       Who is considered competition? – Understanding your exposure as an employee ·       Regular monitoring and updates   ·       Challenge to enforce ·       Time and cost implications ·       Role in sales ·       Negotiation ·       Complexity ·       Intent ·       Lack of understanding – employees often don't understand the potential depth of the contract ·       Ethics/integrity ·       Multitude of agreements: o   Noncompete o   Non-solicitation   o   Exclusivity o   Separation agreements o   Mutual non-disclosure   o   Confidentiality o   NDA ·       Making it too easy to sign ·       Different interpretations/translations/meanings   ·       Contradiction ·       Trust ·       Impact of words on culture ·       Role of technology ·       What can you actually restrict? ·       Can you restrict people and not AI? ·       Evolution of noncompetes ·       Company IP vs personal IP   ·       Impact of job-hopping ·       Retention incentives   ·       Asking for more money ·       Creating the right culture ·       Impact of economic conditions and market changes ·       Judgement ·       Senior vs junior employees   “At the highest level, it sounds like a good idea. It's at least a good idea for the employer, but not always for the employee.” Karin “It's a system that's put in place with the right intentions, to overcome certain issues, but I personally feel that it doesn't fulfil the requirements either for the employer or the employee.”  Kiran “It was originally designed to protect companies, but I don't think that's where it's sitting today.” Chelsey “It's something that has to be monitored, managed and updated – and potentially resigned on a  regular basis, if a company is serious about its intent behind the noncompete. That's very expensive, and each and every time you request an employee to re-sign, it's a time for that employee to reconsider if they still want to be a part of that organization.” Karin “Fewer than 10% of workers negotiate these agreements.” Chelsey   “Can everyone talk about the meaning of the words?! The words have lost all meaning, they've become buzzwords... Let's talk about the words as part of impact on culture.” Kiran “It's so hard to restrict information in a human brain. If I'm an employee in one place and go to another, I didn't say anything about my previous job… but I still have lessons learned and knowledge, I'm not sharing information customer-to-customer, but I'm going to have new solutions. There are certain things you can't restrict, even when you're being ethical.” Kiran “When you build a body of expertise in a particular market segment, you're more valuable in that market segment… My personal IP makes me more valuable, so why would I want to restrict my ability to serve within that area?” Karin “30-40% of employees are asked to sign an agreement AFTER they've already accepted the job.” Chelsey   [01.04.22] The panel share their stories and personal experiences of encountering noncompete agreements, and the lessons they learned. ·       Impact of coaches and mentors ·       Legal costs ·       Signing without reading ·       Asking questions ·       Impact of age ·       Impact on industry as a whole ·       Personal power ·       Time boundaries around restrictions  ·       Pay attention to the ‘what-if?' ·       Transparency “Employers: try to build a culture of trust, celebration and appreciation – make your company a place people don't want to leave. And if they do, they don't want to hurt you!” Chelsey   [01.15.18] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.     RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Chelsey, Karin, and Kiran over on LinkedIn.   Episode 34 - Climbing the Career Ladder: The Truth About Workplace Seniority Episode 15 - Age is Just a Number    

Forethought[1] is a new AI macrostrategy research group cofounded by Max Dalton, Will MacAskill, Tom Davidson, and Amrit Sidhu-Brar. We are trying to figure out how to navigate the (potentially rapid) transition to a world with superintelligent AI systems. We aim to tackle the most important questions we can find, unrestricted by the current Overton window. More details on our website. Why we exist We think that AGI might come soon (say, modal timelines to mostly-automated AI R&D in the next 2-8 years), and might significantly accelerate technological progress, leading to many different challenges. We don't yet have a good understanding of what this change might look like or how to navigate it. Society is not prepared. Moreover, we want the world to not just avoid catastrophe: we want to reach a really great future.

Have you considered quitting therapy? Well, it might actually be a great idea. In this episode, we explore the idea that therapy isn't necessarily a lifelong commitment but rather a dynamic tool to be used when needed. We debate constant introspection may do more harm than good, questioning the fine line between healthy self-awareness and potentially damaging over-analysis. We chat with our friend, Karan Brar, to explore the motivations behind self-reflection, investigating whether it serves as a genuine quest for personal growth or merely as a coping mechanism to navigate the psychological intricacies surrounding the fear of being perceived as flawed, examining societal pressures and the internal narratives that drive this apprehension.

Ever wondered if a plant could be both a herbal remedy and a controversial subject in addiction medicine? Join us as we uncover the multifaceted nature of Kratom with Dr. Sonia Del Tredici and Dr. John Keenan from the Addiction Medicine Journal Club podcast for a journal club style episode on Kratom. Together, we explore Kratom's historical uses for pain relief and fatigue management and its growing popularity as an aid in opioid withdrawal. This episode promises to give you a thorough understanding of its pharmacological effects, including interactions with opioid receptors and anti-inflammatory benefits.Our conversation shifts to the intriguing trends in Kratom usage across the United States. We dissect three recent studies on Kratom, highlighting Kratom's allure as a perceived safer option for managing anxiety, depression, and pain. Despite its benefits, we don't shy away from discussing its potential for addiction and the demographic reach of its users. This episode challenges listeners to consider whether the overlap between Kratom users and those with other substance use disorders is surprising or expected, urging healthcare providers to adopt open-ended dialogues to address patient needs effectively.In a deep dive into Kratom Use Disorder, our discussion includes a fascinating case series study examining the use of buprenorphine for treatment. We highlight the study's findings on withdrawal management and Kratom metabolite reduction, exploring the effectiveness of buprenorphine in stabilizing patients. With a significant portion of patients remaining in follow-up care, we ponder the subjective effects of using Kratom alongside buprenorphine. Tune in to grasp the complexities of Kratom use and the importance of education and ongoing research, as we prepare for an upcoming interview with an industry professional to continue this enlightening series.Our episode reviews three studies on Kratom to facilitate our discussion. Here are those studies:Smith KE, Dunn KE, Rogers JM, Grundmann O, McCurdy CR, Garcia-Romeu A, Schriefer D, Swogger MT, Epstein DH. Kratom use as more than a "self-treatment".
