With that growth has come a host of problems which are common to any rapidly developing region, including pollution and automobile congestion. Thankfully, the city is working on number of initiatives to help make life a little healthier and safer for the people who live there. One of those programs, named Harit Setu ("Green Bridge"), aims to deliver India's first 15-minute neighborhoods, with a complete network of bicycle lanes, continuous sidewalks, public seating, and—rather importantly in a part of the world feeling the effects of climate change quite acutely—green infrastructure and shade. Ashik's story offers lots of valuable lessons to all of us who do this work. Plus, as we discuss, bikelash may be the international language.

If you grew up in an Indian home, you probably touch a book to your forehead when your foot brushes it. Nobody taught you that. And yet, somebody did.In this short episode, Prof. Pankaj Jain reflects on Pitṛ Pakṣa (Pitru Paksha), the fortnight of the ancestors. It falls between Bhagwan Gaṇeśa's visarjan and Maa Durgā's arrival, when many Hindu families pause to remember those who came before them.In this episode:What pitṛ means, and why it's a cousin of Latin pater and English fatherThe quiet rite of śrāddha: water from cupped hands, rice on a leaf, a crow called down to eatWhy śrāddha comes from śraddhā, faith, whose old sense is "to place your heart somewhere"Why a fortnight called "inauspicious" is really asking us to look backIt was never a pause for the dead. It's a pause for where you came from.

AI is reshaping how businesses interact with customers, from handling routine enquiries to delivering more personalised and responsive experiences. As organisations automate more of the customer journey, however, customer support is increasingly being reconsidered not simply as a cost to reduce, but as an important part of how businesses build lasting relationships with their customers.On this episode of Tech Transformed, host Christina Stathopoulos welcomed back Pranay Jain, CEO and co-founder of Enterprise Bot, to discuss what this shift means in practice. The conversation moves beyond the usual AI hype to consider how businesses can scale automation without losing meaningful human connection, while navigating growing regulatory expectations across Europe and the UK.Jain has been building EnterpriseBot for almost a decade, since, as he puts it, "artificial intelligence was more artificial than intelligent." This vantage point shapes a conversation that's less about what AI can do and more about how enterprises should think about doing it.Stop Treating AI as a Cost-Cutting ToolJain sees AI as an opportunity to rethink how customer service teams work, using automation to handle routine tasks while giving people more time to focus on interactions where human judgement and empathy matter most. Password resets, invoice lookups and basic status checks can be handled instantly by AI, allowing human agents to spend more time with customers during moments that require greater care, such as a major life event or an insurance claim following an accident.He points to IKEA as a real-world example of this working. Rather than laying off staff as AI took over routine tasks, the company retrained employees to help customers plan their homes in a more personal, consultative way and saw sales increase as a result. It's a useful reframe that automation isn't about removing people from the equation; it's about repositioning them where their judgment and empathy are still needed.Jain also flags a metric that trips up a lot of contact centres, which is average handling time. Teams are often rewarded for keeping calls short, but a one-minute call with a 40 per cent resolution rate is worse than a three-minute call that actually solves the problem. His recommendation is to automate the parts of a call that eat time without adding value - identity verification alone can consume up to a quarter of a call, so agents can spend the time they save on getting things resolved properly, not just quickly.Why AI Needs GuardrailsGiven EnterpriseBot's European roots, regulation naturally comes into the conversation. Jain explains how the EU AI Act, Spain's new customer service rules and the UK's FCA expectations are starting to shape what “autonomous” really means in practice. For example, businesses can track sentiment at a general level, but analysing an agent's tone of voice or emotions crosses into much more sensitive territory. The same applies to financial transactions. An AI agent can't simply be left to make those decisions on its own. There needs to be a clear workflow and defined controls around what it can and cannot do.His concern is that a lot of the AI tooling on the market is built with a US-first lens and simply wasn't designed with these boundaries in mind. This creates real exposure for enterprises that adopt a slick-looking solution without checking if it can actually operate within EU or UK rules. Jain sees these regulatory changes as a positive step, particularly as AI becomes more embedded in customer interactions. "I actually think it's very important that you do have the right regulation, and there's a very good reason why these things are there."This point extends into data sovereignty too. With geopolitical tension pushing some organisations to reconsider public cloud dependence, Jain suggests flexibility- the ability to run on-prem, in a private cloud, or across different regions depending on the customer; this is becoming one of the more undervalued priorities on a CIO's list.Connected Customer Experience With AIThe conversation closes on something every customer feels but rarely thinks about, which is the disjointedness of switching between voice, chat, email, and messaging with the same company. Jain's push is for a single AI agent that carries context across every channel and every language. He uses his own background in Switzerland, a country with four national languages, to illustrate the scale of the problem. Without a unified system, a company could end up managing a dozen separate AI agents just to cover language and channel combinations.His final advice focuses on what enterprise leaders can put into practice now. Start by actually listening to your customer data to figure out where automation adds value and where human time matters most. Then be honest about whether building AI in-house is really core to your business, or if it's a distraction from what you're actually good at. As he notes, insurance companies aren't in the business of building voice agents and trying to keep pace with shifting regulation on your own is an expensive, ongoing commitment few teams are set up for.Jain's perspective is his focus on making AI useful rather than simply more autonomous. His approach puts the customer experience first, while recognising that trust, human judgment and the right guardrails still matter. For businesses considering what comes next, that balance may be the difference between adopting AI for the sake of it and using it to create a better customer experience.

Welcome Dolly Jain, India's celebrated celebrity saree stylist and saree draping expert, to this special edition of HER STORY HER IMPACT by Womenlines, where we spotlight inspiring women who have transformed their talent, passion and expertise into extraordinary success stories.There are some crafts so deeply woven into culture that we rarely stop to consider the artistry behind them. Saree draping is one of them.For Dolly Jain, however, those six yards became much more than tradition. They became a canvas for precision, creativity and reinvention—and ultimately the foundation of an extraordinary professional journey.Today, Dolly Jain is one of India's most celebrated saree styling artist, known for transforming the way the saree is styled and experienced. From bridal dressing rooms and high-profile celebrations to fashion events and celebrity wardrobes, her work has helped elevate saree draping from a behind-the-scenes skill into a recognised art form.What distinguishes Dolly is not simply the number of styles she can create. It is her ability to understand fabric, silhouette, movement and personality—and bring them together in a drape that feels effortless.Her work is rooted in Indian tradition, yet distinctly contemporary. A saree in her hands can be sculptural, understated, dramatic or modern, while still retaining the grace of the garment itself.Dolly's journey is particularly compelling because it represents something many women will recognise: the possibility of building an identity and a career from a skill that might initially appear ordinary.What began with an interest in the intricacies of draping evolved through years of practice, experimentation and attention to detail. Dolly continued to push the possibilities of a single length of fabric, developing new styles while mastering traditional ones.Her achievements eventually entered the record books.She has been recognised for draping a saree in 125 different ways by the Limca Book of Records, while other record-book honours have recognised collections of 200 and 225 draping styles. She also holds a world-record title for an extraordinarily fast saree drape—completed in approximately 18.5 seconds.Yet numbers tell only one part of the story.Behind every record is the discipline required to master a craft so thoroughly that movements become almost instinctive.As her reputation grew, Dolly's artistry began attracting brides, designers, public figures and celebrities seeking something far more specialised than simply “wearing a saree.”They wanted the Dolly Jain drape.That distinction is significant.In an industry often focused on the designer, jewellery or stylist, Dolly helped bring attention to the person responsible for the final architecture of the saree—the pleats, fall, pallu, proportions and countless subtle adjustments that determine how the garment ultimately looks and moves.Her career is therefore also a fascinating story of creating value around specialised expertise.She took a skill traditionally passed informally from one generation to another and developed it into a professional identity—demonstrating how mastery, consistency and personal branding can transform a niche craft into a sought-after service.Over the years, Dolly's contribution has been recognised across fashion, bridal and women's achievement platforms.Her honours include the WeddingSutra Beauty Award for Top Bridal Image-Makers, Shashakt Nari Samman, Women's Achiever's Award, Jain Ratna Award, Pride of Jain Society Award, Vishisht Samman by Prabhat Khabar, the Devi Award, a Leadership Award, and special recognition from YouTube, among others.She has also received recognition for demonstrating hundreds of draping styles live—further reinforcing the extraordinary breadth of her craft.Through workshops, tutorials and digital platforms, Dolly has taken knowledge that could easily have remained exclusive and made it accessible to a much wider generation.

June 28,2026 MN14 Cula-dukkhakkhandha Sutta A lay person is puzzled at how, despite their long practice, they still have greedy or hateful thoughts. The Buddha explains the importance of absorption meditation for letting go such attachments. But he also criticizes self-mortification, and recounts a previous dialog with Jain ascetics.

Interview Highlights: A Layered Toolset: LSU runs dual EDR platforms (Microsoft Defender and CrowdStrike), Splunk as its SIEM for log management, and Splunk SOAR (via partner TekStream) to coordinate incident response across the statewide SOC program. Phishing Remains Enemy #1: Across higher ed generally, phishing is the top entry point for attackers; Jain recalled a pre-MFA, pre-COVID incident where compromised accounts cascaded across multiple universities, forcing account suspensions every five minutes. AI on the Email Front Line: LSU uses AI specifically to catch executive impersonation—fake emails posing as the chancellor or vendors like Dell requesting changed payment routing numbers—flagging them for review before delivery. On the SOC side, AI builds context around alerts (device mismatches, unusual IP patterns) that a human analyst then validates before escalating—keeping a human in the loop rather than fully automating decisions. Fighting AI With AI—Proactively: LSU deploys honeypots, like a dummy Moodle instance, to lure AI-driven attackers, capture their IPs and techniques, then feed that threat intelligence into production systems to auto-block similar attacks before they happen. The Real AI Risk Is Data, Not the Tool: Jain's biggest concern with staff using ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude isn't the AI itself—it's uploading sensitive student, HR, or research data to platforms that may train on it. Louisiana state law bars public institutions from using Chinese-linked LLMs; Jain flagged that individual (non-Enterprise) Cursor licenses can violate this because some underlying models have Chinese ties. Building Homegrown AI Tools: LSU faculty built "MikeGPT," an internal GPT-based tool on Azure, letting departments create custom agents—like one that lets students query a syllabus directly or an in-progress agent that answers questions from an 80-90 page data governance policy. Both hosts agreed that narrow, tailored AI tools solving specific institutional pain points—rather than general chatbot use—represent the most valuable and lowest-risk way to bring AI into daily operations.

Interview Highlights:   The Scale of LSU Security: Sumit Jan's 14-person team protects roughly 20,000 endpoints, 6,000 servers, and over 100,000 users across LSU's identity management, incident response, and ERP security. Unlike a single corporation, LSU functions like a multi-company organization—academics, research, athletics, and community relations all require different, case-by-case security approaches rather than one uniform policy. Goodbye Mainframe: LSU fully retired its legacy mainframe system in 2025, migrating student records, registration, and grades to Workday, alongside a parallel move to Okta for identity and access management just 30 days later. Shifting to SaaS platforms like Workday reduces institutional risk by providing built-in redundancy and backups, versus the fragility of aging on-campus legacy hardware. Born From the Ransomware Wave: A surge of ransomware attacks on higher-ed institutions nationally pushed LSU to partner with the Board of Regents and GOHSEP to build a shared Security Operations Center (SOC) model in 2022–2023. A Student-Powered SOC: LSU's SOC, run through LONI, now supports 34 public higher-ed institutions statewide, staffing students 8-to-5 while a private partner covers nights, weekends, and holidays. TigerSOC Expands the Model: A second SOC, TigerSOC, has LSU students working as subcontractors for Atlanta-based Techstream, gaining real-world experience securing casino, healthcare, and banking clients—complete with federal background checks where required. Strong Job Outcomes: Nearly all graduating SOC analyst students land security jobs at or before graduation, often earning more within a year or two than LSU can pay a starting analyst. Open to Any Major: Jan intentionally recruits beyond computer science, arguing critical thinking matters more than a technical background—psychology, sociology, and engineering majors all bring valuable cross-disciplinary perspective to security analysis.

The biggest film franchise on earth carries a Sanskrit name, and its director himself said so back in 2007, calling it an incarnation of one of the Hindu gods taking flesh. Notice the vocabulary: incarnation, flesh. That is Christian language, borrowed because English had nothing closer. But avatāra never meant a picture, or a face, or a blue alien. It breaks into ava, "down," and the root tṝ, "to cross over" — a crossing down, a descent. The same root gives tīrtha, a ford in a river and so a place of pilgrimage, and Tīrthaṅkara, the Jain title for one who makes the crossing possible. Its cousins reach as far as Latin trans, hiding inside transit and translate. Three lives of one word: the divine crossing down, a man crossing into a body built for another world, and you, every day, crossing into a screen. A scholar's quick decode.

I am forever left bemused with how unprepared we are to the inevitable. And I talk not only of deaths, but consequences. For every action, thought, word of ours pushes the engine of our existence and our world forward.   A dear friend always chastises me when I say something dire, even when it is in jest. He then rattles off five examples of things which went wrong because someone spoke of them - maybe even merely thought them!!   But the lesson is subtle - and a lesson for life. The very basic tenets of Buddhist and Jain philosophy talk of 'good words, good action, good thought'. It is not said as a cliche or lightly, it is a truth, even if it is oft-spoken, sometimes reflexively. Because a lot of sorrow which we gather in our lives is because of what is said to us, and what we say and immediately regret.   Alas, nothing valuable in life, once lost, is ever retrievable. There is an inevitability. And it's our bane in life to carry with us in all the days left.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on noticing and observing -  Marriage Made Me a Philosopher This Light Like Love On Death (if it happens to stop by) Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

Blending different cultures, whether artistically or internationally, comes into play in everyone's mokuhanga. Your work is infused with your life, your city, your family, and even cultures from abroad. I personally think it's inescapable, and that's what makes mokuhanga such a beautiful medium to explore. On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with Inga Eičaitė, a mokuhanga printmaker who splits her time between London, England, and Lithuania. Inga and I discuss her mokuhanga work and what inspires her to make it, her love of anime, mixing different printmaking mediums with her mokuhanga, comparing the use of Korean hanji paper and Japanese washi, and making emakimono. We also discuss how community has become an important part of Inga's practice through art fairs, and Inga speaks about her time in Lithuania and her desire to help grow mokuhanga there.

For years, voice has been the channel most enterprises have quietly dreaded. The reason stems from it being harder to automate than chat. It's also harder to scale across markets, and far less forgiving if the experience is clumsy. Yet according to Pranay Jain, CEO and Co-founder of Enterprise Bot, that reluctance is exactly why so many businesses are still losing customers to frustrating IVR menus while their competitors move ahead with something smarter.In a recent episode of Tech Transformed, Jain sat down with Trisha Pillay to explore the changing role of voice AI in customer service. Together they unpacked the technological advances making it possible, right to the practical strategies businesses need to use it effectively.Jain, who built Enterprise Bot alongside his wife and co-founder after a detour through real estate, explained where agentic voice AI is heading and why treating it as a bolt-on to existing digital channels is a mistake. He pointed out that voice was never really solved; businesses simply learned to live with its limitations. As conversational AI becomes better at understanding intent, maintaining context and taking action rather than reciting scripted responses, the calculus for enterprise AI deployment is now changing.Why Voice Still Carries the BusinessThe figures Jain cites indicate the shift is already underway. In much of Europe, somewhere between 60 and 80 per cent of customer requests still arrive by phone, while chat accounts for a sliver of total contact centre volume in markets like Switzerland. This may surprise people who think digital channels have already taken over. They haven't, especially when customers have complex or urgent problems to be attended to.Jain explains that customers choose their channel based on how important or difficult their issue is. A quick balance check or a password reset happens over chat or an app. But when something feels uncertain, urgent, or emotionally loaded, people still reach for the phone. They want to be heard, not routed through a flowchart. That's why a robotic voice bot can be more damaging than a mediocre chatbot. Customers often turn to voice when they want a more personal interaction, so a cold or scripted response can make them feel ignored and not valued rather than helped.This is also where the case for treating voice, chat, and email as one connected system rather than separate builds becomes obvious. Jain described meeting a client running a twenty-person team just to maintain their AI stack while only ten people handled actual customer service. This was a sign that channel-by-channel and language-by-language builds spiral out of control fast. A single underlying AI that can operate consistently across languages and touchpoints isn't a nice-to-have, in his view; it's the only version of enterprise AI that scales without collapsing under its own maintenance burden.Voice AI's Real Value Jain says that the interesting thing about voice AI is not just that it sounds natural but what it can actually do. Most companies just use voice AI to answer questions. Jain says that about 80 per cent of customer calls are about transactions, not just information. Customers don't call just to ask questions; they call to get something done, like a refund or a change to their account.Enterprise Bots work with Generali Switzerland to show the difference between answering questions and actually resolving issues. When the AI could complete transactions on its own, customer satisfaction went up. When the AI couldn't complete transactions, it was still helpful by directing customers to the right person, which saved time and improved accuracyScaling AI Starts With GovernanceJain warns that none of this works without taking compliance and data privacy seriously. Companies in services have to follow rules about where they can use generative AI. The EU has rules about what data can be processed and how, and some things, like sentiment tracking, are allowed in some places but not others. Adding in industry rules, the technical build is secondary to getting the governance right.Language is another challenge. Building a system for the US market might mean supporting English and Spanish. Building for Switzerland means supporting four national languages, plus dialects and regional variants. Jain says that many companies fail because they can build a demo that works in one language but can't make it work in real-world conditions.His advice for companies considering AI is to start with a pilot, involve IT and security from the beginning and make sure the technology is solving a real business problem. Jain says that successful AI adoption is not about using the advanced technology but about showing that it can deliver real value before scaling it up.

In 1984, Times of India editor Girilal Jain published "De-Turbaning of Sikhs," an editorial arguing for the systematic dismantling of Sikh identity. This episode unpacks Jain's strategy: severing Sikh youth from elder leadership, dismantling Khalsa martial tradition, and rendering a generation purposeless enough to drift toward substance abuse or conversion. We trace how this playbook echoes into today's Sikh youth crisis and what reclaiming Khalsa identity actually requires. A Sikh Renaissance deep dive into media warfare, cultural erasure, and resistance.

Why do nearly half of IR residents consider leaving the specialty, and what can be done to change that? On this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Dr. Neil Jain interviews Dr. David Mittelstein, an integrated IR resident at UC San Diego and co-chair of the SIR RFS Recruitment Committee, about the findings of a national SIR survey on interventional radiology resident attrition. They discuss what drives uncertainty, from lifestyle and call burden to job market fears, and highlight the program features that encourage retention, such as structured training, high case volume, and a culture of camaraderie. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- This podcast is supported by RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/ --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction04:31 - From Biomedical Engineering to IR07:41 - Recruitment Committee Mission12:37 - Match Trends Warning Sign15:12 - Survey Design Demographics20:21 - What Factors Matter25:04 - Why Residents Consider Switching30:23 - Recommendation 1 IR Curriculum32:32 - Recommendation 2 More IR Rotation34:10 - Recommendation 3 Build Camaraderie38:30 - Advice for Residents Who Are Doubting41:00 - What's Next for RFS Recruitment43:20 - Wrap Up --- More about this episode The conversation explores free-response themes from the survey, where 78 percent of residents cited lifestyle concerns, 31 percent pointed to job market uncertainty, and 22 percent mentioned call experience as reasons for questioning IR.

Why is Gen Z choosing loans over credit cards in India? Younger Indians are changing how they borrow, spend and enter the formal credit system, with phone loans, consumer finance and personal loans increasingly becoming their first experience with credit.In this episode of The Core Report Weekend Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Bhavesh Jain, MD & CEO, TransUnion CIBIL, about why Gen Z is choosing loans over credit cards, the rapid growth of consumer credit in India and what changing borrowing behaviour tells us about the Indian economy.India's credit-active population has risen sharply over the past decade. But an equally important shift is taking place in how Indians borrow. Younger consumers are increasingly entering the credit market through phone financing and consumer durable loans rather than credit cards. UPI has also transformed how Indians make everyday payments, while personal loans and point-of-sale financing have given borrowers more alternatives to traditional cards.So are credit cards losing relevance with younger Indians?The conversation looks at why India's credit card market has recently seen slower growth in cardholders, why existing users are accumulating multiple cards and why accessibility and convenience are reshaping consumer finance.Govindraj and Bhavesh also examine the extraordinary rise of gold loans, growing participation by women borrowers, rising formal credit in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, and how India's MSMEs are increasingly using working capital loans.They also discuss the bigger economic question behind India's borrowing boom. Credit can fuel consumption, entrepreneurship and economic growth, but what happens when leverage among younger borrowers rises too quickly?Watch the full conversation for a data-driven look at Gen Z borrowing, credit cards in India, consumer loans, UPI, CIBIL scores, gold loans, MSME credit, financial inclusion and the changing Indian economy.Chapters(01:22) The Biggest Credit Trends of the Last Decade(02:13) Why 28% of Indians Are Now Credit Active(02:41) Credit Growth and India's Economic Expansion(03:22) The Shift From New-to-Credit to Existing Borrowers(04:27) Gen Z Is Reshaping India's Credit Market(05:07) Why Young Indians Finance Phones Before Homes(05:55) Business Owners Are Borrowing Personally(07:04) Gold Loans: India's Fastest Growing Credit Segment(08:11) Why Women Are Using Gold Loans for Business(08:38) Women, Gen Z & Credit-Mature Borrowers(09:30) Why Checking Your CIBIL Score Matters(10:36) Credit Growth Beyond India's Metro Cities(11:36) Uttar Pradesh Emerges as India's Credit Leader(13:39) Inside India's MSME Credit Story(14:14) Why 88% of MSME Credit Goes to Small Businesses(14:49) How MSMEs Improved Credit Quality After COVID(16:45) Why Working Capital Loans Are Dominating(17:31) Banks Are Rewarding Low-Risk Borrowers(17:56) India's Massive MSME Credit Opportunity(19:30) Retail Credit Health: Delinquencies & Debt(21:57) Has Credit Growth Become Too Aggressive?(24:10) The Rise of Digital Lending & AI Underwriting(26:59) Why UPI Is Transforming India's Credit Ecosystem(28:13) The Future of Consumer Lending in India(31:00) Can India Reach Developed-Market Credit Levels?(33:00) Building a Credit-Fit India(36:14) Advice for Every MSME OwnerWhy is Gen Z choosing loans over credit cards in India?

In this episode I discuss the book Understanding Social Images: Essays on Visual Methods and Teaching Anthropology (Berghahn, 2025) with co-editors David Zeitlyn and Chihab El Khachab, a posthumous collection of writings by the late anthropologist Marcus Banks. Banks was a key the figures in development of visual anthropology, but his work remains of continuing relevance. This volume brings together several of his essays on film, photography, archive work, as well as reflections of visual methods such as photo-elicitation and ways of teaching visual anthroplogy. The conversation begins with Marcus Banks himself, his place within anthropology, his influence on visual anthropology, and the broader effort to preserve and extend his work through a set of posthumous collections. From there, the discussion turns to one of the central themes that emerge from across several essays, namely, that images are not simply illustrations or transparent representations, but socially and temporally situated objects with disctinct social lives. From there, we discuss Banks's interest in the materiality of the visual and how the circulation and afterlives of images gather new meaning over time. A substantial part of the interview focuses on Banks's film Raju and His Friends (1988), which proved foundational to his later reflections on ethnographic filmmaking, and especially on the ethics and politics of representation. As well as providing an introduction to Marcus Banks's work and serving as a tribute to a scholar whose influence continues to shape the field, many of the topics covered in the interview touches on many broader questions in anthropology itself, and as such will be of interest not only to students of visual anthropology, but to anthropology students and anthropologists more generally. David Zeitlyn is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson College. His work spans visual anthropology, photography and archives, religion and divination, and long-term fieldwork in Cameroon. He also collaborated with Marcus Banks on the second edition of Visual Methods in Social Research. Chihab El Khachab is Associate Professor in Visual Anthropology at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson College. He is a social anthropologist specializing in visual and media anthropology, especially Egyptian media production, and is the author of Making Film in Egypt: How Labor, Technology, and Mediation Shape the Industry.

How is technology changing the way we think—and are we unknowingly outsourcing our minds?In this insightful episode of The Brand Called You, Ashutosh Garg speaks with Sanjay Jain, Former CMD of Accenture and author of Are We Outsourcing Our Minds?, about the evolving relationship between technology, artificial intelligence, and human cognition.Drawing on more than four decades of leadership experience in strategy, consulting, technology, and outsourcing, Sanjay reflects on the defining moments of his career before exploring one of today's most pressing questions: Are digital tools making us more capable, or are they gradually weakening our ability to think independently?The conversation examines the neurological impact of calculators, smartphones, handwriting, and Generative AI on memory, reasoning, learning, and decision-making. Sanjay also explains the Flynn Effect, cognitive offloading, and why curiosity remains one of the most important human capabilities in an age of instant answers.Whether you're a leader, educator, parent, student, or lifelong learner, this episode offers practical strategies for using technology wisely—leveraging it to enhance human intelligence rather than replace it.If you're interested in the future of AI, cognitive science, leadership, and lifelong learning, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode I discuss the book Understanding Social Images: Essays on Visual Methods and Teaching Anthropology (Berghahn, 2025) with co-editors David Zeitlyn and Chihab El Khachab, a posthumous collection of writings by the late anthropologist Marcus Banks. Banks was a key the figures in development of visual anthropology, but his work remains of continuing relevance. This volume brings together several of his essays on film, photography, archive work, as well as reflections of visual methods such as photo-elicitation and ways of teaching visual anthroplogy. The conversation begins with Marcus Banks himself, his place within anthropology, his influence on visual anthropology, and the broader effort to preserve and extend his work through a set of posthumous collections. From there, the discussion turns to one of the central themes that emerge from across several essays, namely, that images are not simply illustrations or transparent representations, but socially and temporally situated objects with disctinct social lives. From there, we discuss Banks's interest in the materiality of the visual and how the circulation and afterlives of images gather new meaning over time. A substantial part of the interview focuses on Banks's film Raju and His Friends (1988), which proved foundational to his later reflections on ethnographic filmmaking, and especially on the ethics and politics of representation. As well as providing an introduction to Marcus Banks's work and serving as a tribute to a scholar whose influence continues to shape the field, many of the topics covered in the interview touches on many broader questions in anthropology itself, and as such will be of interest not only to students of visual anthropology, but to anthropology students and anthropologists more generally.

After spending a decade building a successful consulting career, Nikita Jain made the difficult decision to walk away from a path toward partnership and become a first-time founder. She shares how she navigated family concerns, found the right co-founder after more than 50 conversations, balanced entrepreneurship with her marriage and personal well-being, and discovered that building a company isn't about having the perfect plan—it's about consistently taking action, learning, and moving forward.

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that briefly lifted the veil and then sealed it back up.On her porch outside Asheville, Reva feels something enter through her ribs and move slowly through her body like she's a corridor it happened to pass through. For forty-five seconds she knows things, that the world we see is a thin film stretched over something unbearably crowded. Then it leaves, taking the knowledge with it, and drains away all but one surviving fragment: there are more of them than there are of us.Then Luca is on a Malvern ridge he's walked since he was a teenager when the slope below him turns black. A flat, perfect, geometric disc cut into the hillside, radiating deep heat from somewhere far down. Then it contracts inward and seals shut with a smoothness that earth should not have. Not like it's gone. Like it's finished.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Jain nigoda that fill every empty inch, the Kabbalist Pardes that broke three of the four who entered, the ultra-terrestrial intelligence beneath the surface, and the Roman mundus that opened so what's below could look up.What happens when reality lifts its filter for a moment… and then decides you weren't meant to keep what you saw?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it. A pre-seed pitch, he says, is almost entirely storytelling with very little data behind it.If you want to understand how the earliest checks actually get written, and what it really costs to say no, this episode is worth your time.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - From Dehradun to Google to starting Afore02:08 - The Waterloo co-op that talked him out of every job03:18 - Back when "pre-seed" was an insult05:44 - When Sequoia said "I guess we're pre-seed investors too"07:26 - Afore's three products, and the experiments that failed09:01 - Hightouch was a travel company when they invested11:02 - Goldcast: no visa, no money, funded anyway12:07 - The through line is always the team14:44 - The Ramp miss17:24 - "Founders pick us more than we pick them"18:45 - The constraint isn't capital, it's talent22:24 - The Solana miss, when it was still Loom Protocol24:46 - Ramp's Super Bowl ad, the buses, his wife's business25:32 - What he looks for in founders28:50 - Coachability, happy ears, and the Mom Test31:28 - The biggest mistake: falling in love with the idea35:04 - The three things that matter, and "50% of zero is still zero"39:25 - "100% storytelling, 0% data"41:25 - Investing in India, and the fear of being dumb capital44:41 - "Sign the deal before Monday"47:26 - One engineer now does the job of 2051:43 - Raising from LPs, the undiscussed part of VC-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Saral Jain, SVP of Engineering at Snapchat, the last independent social platform operating at global scale, with 956 million monthly active users closing in on the one billion mark and a community that opens the app more than 30 times a day. Saral joined Snap nine years ago, right around the IPO, after nearly a decade leading engineering teams at Amazon Web Services, and today leads all engineering for Snapchat, spanning product experiences, multi-cloud infrastructure, and the company's machine learning and generative AI platforms.What you'll learn:How Snap lets designers and product managers ship production code, with an AI agent running the first review pass on 90% of code within 5 minutesWhat Casper is: the AI teammate any team at Snap can invoke from Slack or Jira to build a working prototype from a conversationHow Snap turned company-wide AI adoption into business impact after early prototypes were being built and thrown awayHow lean startup squads mix engineers, designers, and data scientists to launch zero-to-one bets inside a mature platformKey takeaways:Quality control does not have to slow down who gets to ship, it has to change what reviews the work firstWidespread AI adoption is not the same as business impact, and the gap between the two is where most AI investment is being wasted right nowSmall, cross-functional teams with blurred roles can move faster than traditional org structures, even inside a billion-user companyCredits:Host: Carlos Gonzalez de VillaumbrosiaGuest: Saral JainSocial Links:Find out more about Product School hereFollow our Podcast on TikTok hereFollow Product School on LinkedIn here

Series Description Disclosure is a three-part podcast series from the Docs with Disabilities Podcast that examines one of the most personal and consequential decisions disabled healthcare providers make: whether, when, and how to disclose a disability. Through the voices of medical students, residents, practicing physicians, psychologists, nurses, researchers, legal scholars, and disability advocates, the series explores disclosure as an ongoing process shaped by identity, institutional culture, ableism, and power. Blending lived experience with research and policy, the series challenges assumptions about disability in healthcare while illuminating pathways toward more inclusive learning, training, and practice environments. Part 2: Medical Culture, Stigma, and What Prevents Disclosure Why does disability disclosure feel so difficult—and for many, unsafe—in healthcare? In the second episode of the Disclosure series, we move beyond individual disclosure decisions to examine the culture of medicine itself. Through the perspectives of physicians, researchers, allied health professionals, disability scholars, and trainees, this episode explores how the hidden curriculum, stigma, institutional practices, and everyday interactions shape whether disabled healthcare professionals feel they belong. Contributors reflect on the burdens of seeking accommodations, the impact of ableist assumptions, the complexities of partial disclosure, and the ways colleagues, mentors, and institutional norms influence identity safety. Together, these stories reveal that disclosure is never simply an individual choice—it is a reflection of the culture in which it occurs and a catalyst for reimagining a more inclusive future for healthcare.

Series Description Disclosure is a three-part podcast series from the Docs with Disabilities Podcast that examines one of the most personal and consequential decisions disabled healthcare providers make: whether, when, and how to disclose a disability. Through the voices of medical students, residents, practicing physicians, psychologists, nurses, researchers, legal scholars, and disability advocates, the series explores disclosure as an ongoing process shaped by identity, institutional culture, ableism, and power. Blending lived experience with research and policy, the series challenges assumptions about disability in healthcare while illuminating pathways toward more inclusive learning, training, and practice environments. Part 1: The Decision to Disclose What does it really mean to disclose a disability in healthcare? In the first episode of the Disclosure series, healthcare providers across the continuum—from students and trainees to practicing clinicians—share the personal, professional, and institutional factors that shape disclosure decisions. Drawing on stories from medical students, residents, physicians, researchers, disability scholars, and legal experts, the episode explores disclosure as more than a pathway to accommodations—it can be an act of identity, advocacy, community-building, and resistance. At the same time, contributors examine the risks of stigma, discrimination, and institutional betrayal that continue to make disclosure a deeply complex and often uncertain decision.

-SOIREE EXCEPTIONNELLE AVEC SATISH KUMAR-Depuis longtemps, je rêvais de vous réunir.Je rêvais d'un moment plein de sens, qui nous permette de penser notre rapport au monde et à nos engagements. Un moment qui nous donne de l'énergie et de la joie et qui nous permette de rêver ensemble à un avenir meilleur. Un moment qui nous rassemble autour d'un invité ancré, nuancé, sage. Ce rêve est devenu réalité.Nous étions une soixantaine à converser avec SATISH KUMAR, un des grands sages contemporains, lors de son dernier passage à Paris.Ce moment a été capté et je vous le livre aujourd'hui. C'est une vrai masterclass, pleine de sagesse.
