Wipro Brings Enterprise Perspective to Cisco Cloud Control, Podcast Wipro's Uday Kiran discusses what Cisco's new platform means for enterprise customers, global partners and the shift to unified, AI-ready operations By Doug Green “Cisco Cloud Control unifies all of these domains.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, recorded virtually during Cisco Live, Doug Green speaks with Uday Kiran of Wipro about Cisco Cloud Control and what the announcement means when viewed from the front lines of enterprise transformation. For Wipro, the announcement represents a logical evolution in Cisco's portfolio. Kiran says enterprise customers are often managing separate domains across networking, security and observability. Those domains have historically operated as “multiple islands,” creating complexity for IT teams that need visibility, speed and control across distributed environments. Wipro brings a global systems integrator's view to the conversation. The company serves enterprise customers in more than 64 countries, has more than 250,000 employees, works with more than 1,000 enterprise customers, and has partnered with Cisco for more than 30 years, according to Kiran. That scale gives Wipro a practical view of what customers are asking for now. Enterprises are not simply looking for another dashboard or another tool. They are looking for ways to simplify operations, improve resilience, bring security and networking closer together, and make AI useful inside complex production environments. Cisco Cloud Control is important because it points toward a more unified operational model. Instead of treating network, security and observability as separate disciplines, the platform is designed to bring those areas together. For partners such as Wipro, that creates a larger opportunity than product deployment. It creates a consulting, integration and managed services opportunity around helping enterprises modernize operations, rationalize toolsets, and prepare for AI-enabled infrastructure. The discussion also reflects a broader Cisco Live theme: AI is moving from concept to operations. As enterprises adopt agentic AI, infrastructure must become more observable, more secure and more automated. Wipro's role is to help customers make that transition in real environments, where legacy systems, global operations and business continuity all matter. In this podcast, Kiran offers a partner's view of Cisco Cloud Control: not just what was announced, but why it matters to enterprise customers trying to turn fragmented IT operations into a more unified, intelligent and resilient operating model.

Former AIG Meera Chaudhary, the first woman to head Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police, joins Ukaalo editor-in-chief Amod Pyakuryal and senior investigative journalist Kiran Dahal.

Recorded by Kiran Bath for Poem-a-Day, a series produced by the Academy of American Poets. Published on May 25, 2026. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.poets.org⁠

AI is changing work fast enough to give every project manager emotional whiplash. New tools, new workflows, new expectations… and somehow you're still expected to hit deadlines, manage stakeholders, and explain for the fifth time why the project scope changed after leadership changed the entire business strategy. In this episode, Kim and Kate sit down with Kelly Heuer from Project Management Institute to talk about the skills that actually survive industry shifts, changing technology, and whatever shiny new buzzword LinkedIn is obsessed with this week. They unpack why "soft skills" are actually the hardest skills in project management, how business acumen separates strategic PMs from task trackers, and why learning to navigate ambiguity matters more now than memorizing formulas from the PMP exam. The conversation also dives into the uncomfortable reality that project success is rarely about perfectly following the original plan. Sometimes the real job is realizing the plan should change in the first place. Along the way, they cover durable vs. perishable skills, why varied career experience is secretly a superpower, how PMs can become more effective strategic partners, and why "say the thing" might be the most important career advice you'll hear all year. Grab a drink, question your project charter, and let's get into it. Guest Bio As Vice President of Learning at the Project Management Institute (PMI), Dr. Kelly Heuer brings over two decades of experience in higher education to lead PMI's Learning division. She oversees a global portfolio including professional standards, publications, live and enterprise training, and digital learning products that equip project professionals worldwide to drive project success. Kelly holds multiple degrees in philosophy, including an AB from Harvard and an MA and PhD from Georgetown University. She began her career at Georgetown, helping launch the university's first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in bioethics and co-founding its ethics and social innovation lab. She most recently served as Vice President of Learning Experience at edX, driving learning strategies and digital innovation across the company's portfolio. As the first in her family to pursue higher education, Kelly is passionate about mentoring first-generation students, coaching formerly incarcerated individuals, and supporting colleagues exploring alternative career paths. She lives in Brooklyn with her partner, Arjun, and their two children, chess enthusiast Kiran and aspiring explorer Ryan.

A dedication, a reflection, and everything this journey has really been about.This episode is different.Episode 100 falls on a day that carries more weight than a milestone. It falls on what would have been my brother's 36th birthday. And so, instead of a celebration, I wanted to do something I've never quite done on this microphone before.I wanted to tell the truth.In this episode, I reflect on a hundred episodes of showing up, what it actually took, what this year has taught me about grief and growth and editing your life down to what is real, and why the women in this community are the reason I kept going through every season of doubt.This is a love letter. To my brother. To you. And to the quiet, determined act of building something that matters, in the cracks of your life, over time, with more heart than strategy.If you have ever carried grief alongside your growth, this one is for you.If you have ever kept building when part of you wasn't sure why, this one is for you.And if you have ever wondered whether midlife could be the most honest, intentional, deeply alive chapter of your life, you already know the answer.You would not still be here if you didn't.Thank you for 100 episodes.

Paid Subscribers can view the video directly in Substack.In this episode of Psalms for the Spirit, Kiran Young Wimberly sits down with renowned theologian, author, and longtime Union Theological Seminary president, Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, for a profound conversation about trauma, healing, and the enduring power of the Psalms.Drawing from her influential book Trauma and Grace: Theology in a Ruptured World, Serene reflects on John Calvin's beautiful description of the Psalms as “an anatomy of all parts of the soul.” Together, Kiran and Serene explore how the Psalms give voice to grief, rage, fear, hope, and healing — and how prayer, lament, singing, and communal worship can help people process trauma and rediscover courage, agency, and grace.The conversation touches on collective suffering in today's world, the role of faith communities in healing, and the deep comfort of knowing that God can hold even our most painful cries.One especially moving reflection from Serene reminds us: “God is there holding you, listening to you, hearing your tears and your cries, your woes, not afraid of them, tough enough to hold them.”This episode is an invitation to bring every part of yourself before God — even the broken and wounded parts — and to discover how the Psalms continue to guide us toward hope, resilience, and healing.Rev. Dr. Serene Jones is a highly respected scholar and public intellectual, and the 16th President of the historic Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. The first woman to head the 190-year-old institution, Jones occupies the Johnston Family Chair for Religion and Democracy. She is a Past President of the American Academy of Religion, which annually hosts the world's largest gathering of scholars of religion. Jones came to Union after seventeen years at Yale University, where she was the Titus Street Professor of Theology at the Divinity School, and Chair of the University's Program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. She is the author of several books including Trauma and Grace and, most recently, her memoir Call It Grace: Finding Meaning in a Fractured World. Jones, a popular public speaker, is sought by media to comment on major issues impacting society because of her deep grounding in theology, politics, women's studies, economics, race studies, history, and ethics.Learn more about Rev.

Six months ago, Csilla had three subscribers, one of whom was herself. Today she's building a quietly powerful community of midlife women, one joyful, honest conversation at a time.Together, Kiran and Csilla pull back the curtain on what actually moved the needle for both of them, and it wasn't the algorithm.They talk about the co-authored article that changed everything for Csilla, why easy questions get the most honest answers, and the compound effect of ten women showing up together. Kiran shares her own turning point, the moment she stopped performing as the expert and started writing from the messy, real, 3 am version of herself. And what happened when Instagram and Facebook suspended her accounts without warning, and why it turned out to be something of a gift.This is a conversation about vulnerability as strategy, connection as currency, and what it looks like to build something that genuinely belongs to you, not to a platform that could disappear tomorrow.If you're a woman over 40 writing into the void and wondering if it's worth it, this episode is for you.In this episode: Why Csilla went from 3 to 145+ subscribers by asking one simple question about joy The mechanics behind a co-authored article that actually builds community What made Kiran finally drop the expert persona, and what happened when she did On vulnerability online: healing, not oversharing Why focusing on one platform changed everything The truth about algorithms, suspended accounts, and building something that's actually yours Links mentioned: Csilla's Substack: Feminine Energy for Midlife Women Joy Over 40: Part 1 & Part 2 Kiran's series: 85 Weeks to Fifty Midlife Circle membership: £8/month or £80/year

Cardiovascular health and longevity are deeply influenced by aging, perimenopause, and systemic changes that extend far beyond cholesterol markers alone. In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald sits down with Kiran Krishnan to explore the biology of vascular aging, endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic changes that emerge in midlife and beyond. As estrogen declines during perimenopause, patients often experience shifts in lipid metabolism, weight regulation, and overall metabolic resilience—driving increased cardiovascular risk. This conversation dives into the critical role of the endothelial glycocalyx, nitric oxide signaling, and the gut microbiome in maintaining vascular integrity and systemic health. Dr. Fitzgerald and Kiran connect the dots between gut health, cardiovascular disease, joint degeneration, and systemic inflammation, offering a systems biology approach that is highly relevant for functional medicine practitioners. You'll also hear how targeted interventions—specifically Arterosil, Vascanox, and Cartigenix—can be used synergistically to support endothelial health, nitric oxide production, microbial balance, and joint integrity. Topics covered include: - Endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction and cardiovascular risk - Nitric oxide signaling and vascular health - Perimenopause, estrogen decline, and metabolic changes - Gut microbiome influence on cardiovascular and joint health - Anabolic vs catabolic balance in aging - Clinical applications for Arterosil, Vascanox, and Cartigenix - Moving beyond LDL: a systems-based approach to heart health This episode provides a clinically grounded, functional medicine perspective on aging, cardiovascular disease prevention, and whole-body resilience.

It's easy to think that skin issues are just cosmetic… something to cover up, manage, or ignore. But what if your skin is actually one of the earliest warning systems in your body? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with microbiologist Kiran Krishnan to explore a groundbreaking (and often overlooked) connection: Your skin health may predict your risk for chronic disease, inflammation, and even how you age.

Are your expensive 10-step skincare routines actually destroying your skin's first line of defense? In this mind-blowing episode of Beauty Bytes, I welcome back Kiran Krishnan, a brilliant research microbiologist and health educator, to completely redefine how we think about the gut-skin axis.  We start by breaking down the "acid mantle"—why your skin must stay at a highly specific pH (4.5 to 5.2) to prevent fungal overgrowth, acne, and severe dryness, and why you are likely over-cleansing. We also dive into the systemic changes that occur during midlife, exploring how declining estrogen levels create a "leaky gut" that allows LPS toxins to flood your system, accelerating aging and inflammation. Kiran shares the exact protocols to reverse this, from using spore-based probiotics and lactoferrin to hacking the "centenarian microbiome" with fiber and polyphenols. We even discuss "psychobiotics" that act as nature's stress relievers, and the exact topical protocol you should use after microneedling and lasers.  Guest Information: Kiran Krishnan is a research microbiologist and the co-founder of Microbiome Labs.

In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, I'm sharing a story about something that initially felt frustrating and disorienting, but slowly revealed itself as something else entirely.A month and a half ago, my Facebook account, business page, and three Instagram accounts were suddenly suspended. At first, all I wanted was to get everything back. But over time, the silence that followed began to feel less like a disruption and more like a release.This episode is a reflection on what happens when something you thought you needed is unexpectedly taken away, and how that absence can reveal just how much noise, pressure, and misalignment you'd been carrying. We talk about the strange discomfort of outgrowing things that still technically work, the old identities and ways of doing business that once made sense but no longer feel true, and the freedom that comes from quietly admitting, "This doesn't fit me anymore."It's a conversation about alignment, discernment, and the courage to let your outer world catch up with the changes already happening within you. Because sometimes growth doesn't ask us to rebuild from scratch, it asks us to release what no longer belongs.If you've been holding onto something simply because it still functions, even though it no longer feels like you, this episode is for you.For more reflections and support, visit Kiransinghuk.com and join me on Substack.With love,Kiran x

Becoming a single mother by choice is complicated enough, but when you add layers of cultural expectations, family pressure, and the uncertainty of fertility, it can feel like there's just no roadmap and no one who gets it. In today's episode, I'm joined by Reema Kiran, executive coach, founder of Choice Mom Coach, and now published author of the book, Choice Mom. We go deep into her process of navigating unexplained infertility, cultural traditions, and making the call to prioritize motherhood on her own terms.Together, we share the real, lived experience of choosing this path despite fears and grief over what “should have been". Reema opens up about childhood dreams clashing with grown-up realities, the importance of mindset, and what it meant to face questions from family and her Indian community. We talk about what's helped us both, and what it has looked like for our families (and ourselves) to come around to single motherhood by choice. Whether you're in the thinking stage, facing fertility challenges, or wrestling with letting go of the life you imagined, this is a truly supportive, honest conversation.In this episode, we talk about:Navigating cultural expectations and family reactions as a single mother by choiceThe emotional side of infertility, failed fertility treatments, and shifting your mindsetReema's experience with egg freezing and entering the world of IVF on her ownGrieving the loss of the partner and child vision, and finding your own way forwardDay-to-day realities and surprises of solo motherhood (from mental load to mom guilt)How to speak with confidence to loved ones who might not understand your choicesThe power of self-compassion, community, and taking just one next stepConnect with Reema:WebsiteInstagram: @choicemomcoachChoice Mom: An Empowering Guide to Becoming a Single Mother by Choice

My latest cool friend is the incredible Kiran Deol, and she is one of the most intimidating people I've ever met. A Harvard-educated comedian/writer/actor/multi-hyphenate, Kiran seems to be living in a world with 28 hour days. Where else could she find the time to do so many incredible things? You may have seen her, among countless projects, on shows like Sunnyside, her comedy special Joy Suck (available on Amazon and Tubi), or in the upcoming Didn't Die, a Sundance-Darling of a film that's been being viewed as a star-making vehicle for Kiran. Honestly, I could write about all the incredible things she's had a hand in, but I'm just going to suggest you listen to the episode, because we had a lot of fun, and we cover A LOT of ground.So enjoy, please follow Kiran on IG (@ShitFromKiran), and GO SEE "DIDN'T DIE" IF YOU CAN!

Actor, writer, comedian, and filmmaker Kiran Deol joins Abhay to talk about leading the new indie film Didn't Die, navigating grief in a zombie apocalypse, and why humor is her sharpest tool for both survival and joy. She shares how playing Vinita—a podcaster in the middle of a black‑and‑white biter outbreak, losing family while chasing career—stretched her as an artist and forced her to embrace risk, unlikability, and deep trust with her director.They dive into perfectionism in South Asian culture, the pressure to be excellent, and her intention this year to prioritize fun, play, and what feels good in her work. Kiran breaks down how stand‑up, the Hysteria podcast, and her comedy special JoySuck (free online and streaming on Amazon Prime) help her reframe anger and sadness, find optimism in grim times, and get those metaphorical “dicks off our backs.” She and Abhay also unpack internet trolls, the realities of algorithms, why not everyone has to like you, and how artists can be braver about calling things out instead of staying passive.​Chapters/Timestamps00:00 Introduction 03:04 Exploring the Role in 'Didn't Die'06:03 Navigating Humor and Grief08:49 The Art of Stand-Up Comedy11:35 Identity and Representation in Hollywood14:01 Sponsor Break - Travelopod14:46 Navigating Identity in Performance20:26 Unlearning and Evolving22:02 The Role of Humor in Coping22:58 Sponsor Break - RuffRest23:32 JoySuck, Cultural Expectations, and Artistic Freedom28:58 Crafting Your Own Narrative Kiran Deol on IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1234567/Didn't Die (Film) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234567/JoySuck (Comedy Special) on Amazon Prime - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYZ1234It's March, so shout out to Ishan Sharma and (Coach) Amit Tailor and all the College Hoops fans out there.

In this episode, John sits down with Kiran K Aulakh, acupuncturist and craniosacral practitioner, for a conversation about healing, sensitivity, and what it means to reconnect with the body. Kiran shares how jaw pain, anxiety, and restricted self-expression first led her inward, and how that journey eventually became a calling toward acupuncture and the healing arts. Together, she and John explore what acupuncture actually does, how Eastern and Western frameworks can both help explain it, and why the body often knows long before the mind catches up. This conversation moves beyond needles and technique into something deeper: intuition, receptivity, nervous system regulation, and the practice of letting the body guide your life. If you have ever felt disconnected from yourself, unsure how to trust your body, or curious about acupuncture as more than just pain relief, this episode is for you.

Have you ever wished you had a crystal ball to tell you exactly when you will enter menopause? In this groundbreaking episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Kiran Kumar, a bioengineer and the founder and CEO of Timeless Biotech. We discuss their revolutionary new product, MenoTime, the first and only AI-powered ovarian aging clock. Ovarian aging is one of the most significant drivers of overall female aging; in fact, women can experience a massive nine-year acceleration in their biological age (measured by the glycan age clock) in just the six months following their final menstrual period. Kiran explains that static, one-time hormone tests are notoriously difficult to interpret, but by using machine learning trained on over 40,000 patient visits, MenoTime can predict your age at menopause within a 1.5-year error range. We dive into the fascinating, and sometimes shocking, data uncovered by this algorithm. We discuss why your mother's age of menopause didn't even crack the top 50 predictors, why a decline in melatonin is actually your first warning sign, and how factors like sexual health and dietary fats play a massive role in delaying ovarian decline.  I am also thrilled to announce we will be offering the MenoTime test right here in my LA clinic starting in January!

Most real estate agents hit a ceiling between 20 and 40 deals a year.Not because of the market.Not because of AI.And not because they need a bigger team.They hit the ceiling because their business is built on chaos instead of systems.In this conversation with systems expert Kiran Gandhi, we break down the exact process that helped me restructure my real estate business so it could scale without burnout.We cover:The real breaking point agents hit around $200k–$300k GCIWhy hiring an admin usually failsThe listing coordinator model that changed everythingHow to build SOPs that run your business without youWhy most agents struggle with delegationHow systems allow you to maintain control while scalingIf you're an agent doing 10–30 deals a year and feeling like the business is running you instead of the other way around, this conversation will change how you think about growth.Systems aren't about complexity.They're about freedom.Subscribe for more videos on building a scalable real estate business, revenue share, and creating long-term freedom in this industry.

Erin Ryan and Akilah Hughes dig into the results from Tuesday's primaries, Trump's Armageddon war in Iran, Hillary Clinton's Epstein deposition, and the ever-moving goal posts for women in Washington. They also cover a horrifying new law in Kansas targeting trans people, Kristi Noem's bad day at the Senate, and Politico's unsettling profile of Nancy Mace. Then Kiran Deol joins for a very petty edition of the Sanity Corner, where they rant and rave about curling, tall men, and revisit a perfect network sitcom that was canceled too soon.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

There have been many reports in the last several years of a growing trend of estranged families in the United States. For those who make the decision to go "no contact" (or "low contact") with their family members, the response from non-family members can be a mixed bag of support and judgment... often independent of the person's reasons for making that choice. What's going on with the contemporary phenomenon of people going low or no contact with their family members? Is such a decision morally acceptable, or is forgiveness and relationship maintenance something we owe to others, but especially our family? What does a "good" family look like? And why do we so often find ourselves in the position of hoping for the best without any guarantees that things will turn out well?In this episode, we investigate the ways in which our families shape our identities and how the stories we tell about family relationships often determine how we see and understand others. As you'll notice throughout the episode, it turns out that nothing gets people going like family! We're joined by Dr. Kiran Bhardwaj, whose work centers on these complex ethical issues and who walks us through some philosophical distinctions that may help in navigating the murky waters of distressed family relations. Grab a drink and join us as we attempt to think through, rather than simply react to, the long and tangled ties of family.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/family---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Some planners execute a vision. Natalie Kiran Laskowski and Chelsea Leigh Wenner of Kiran + Leigh are the vision. In this episode of The Business of Luxury Weddings, the co-founders of one of the most quietly compelling destination wedding studios in the country sit down with hosts James Christianson and Otto to talk about what it actually takes to build something with taste — and keep it that way. How they left a firm, launched a brand during a pandemic, and decided early on that they would never compromise on quality, creativity, or each other. They talk vendor relationships, editorial design, the guest experience as the true measure of luxury, and the kind of partnership that only works when the friendship comes first. No formulas. No repeats. Just two women who built exactly what they set out to build.
