Fresh roti is simple to eat and hard to automate. Komal Kashiramka is building Poshan, a robotics company developing next-generation kitchen appliances, starting with an automatic roti maker designed to create soft roti that lasts for hours. Komal shares how she moved from Microsoft and Meta into entrepreneurship. Why hardware requires a different level of patience than software and what founders can learn from customer discovery, AI, parenting, and building something people will trust in their kitchens. We also discuss: • Why soft roti is the real product challenge • Building a hardware company in the R&D phase • What AI changes for junior engineers • Why fundamentals still matter in software • Leaving corporate life without having everything figured out • Startup 425 and Seattle Public Library business resources • Raising kids while building a company • RotiTales and making roti easier to understand Komal links Poshan Website: https://poshan.us/ Poshan LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/poshan-inc RotiTales Website: https://rotitales.com/ RotiTales Instagram: https://instagram.com/rotitales RotiTales LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/rotitales/ RotiTales Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rotitales RotiTales YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rotitales Jason links Jason's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/admin Jason's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncavness/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsw6kzZE40sSUZgoStVaJw?sub_confirmation=1
En Inde, face aux chaleurs extrêmes, les travailleuses du secteur informel disposent d'une protection innovante : une assurance anti-chaleur. Le principe est simple : dès que la température dépasse les 42°C plusieurs jours de suite, ces femmes reçoivent automatiquement une compensation financière pour remplacer leur salaire perdu. Ce modèle de sécurité climatique n'en est qu'à ses débuts. De notre correspondant à New Dehli, « J'ai connu ce projet quand ils sont venus nous l'expliquer », confie Komal. Ce sont des agents d'une compagnie d'assurance qui ont démarché la jeune femme dans l'école privée de New Delhi où elle travaille comme nettoyeuse. À 28 ans, elle a immédiatement calculé l'intérêt de ce dispositif pour protéger son maigre revenu. « Travailler par 40°C, impossible. Je perdais 300 roupies par jour. Cotiser 400 roupies par an pour cette assurance change tout », explique-t-elle. Ce filet de sécurité sans intermédiaire a été pensé pour les travailleuses du secteur informel en Inde. Initié en 2023 par l'ONG SEWA (l'Association des femmes travailleuses indépendantes) dans le Gujarat, ce programme s'étend désormais à trois États. Le principe est simple : contre une cotisation annuelle de trois à quatre dollars, les assurées reçoivent automatiquement une indemnité journalière quand la température devient impossible. Anshu Jha, qui a coordonné ce déploiement pour l'ONG, souligne l'engouement croissant : « Les femmes sont très intéressées par cette assurance. En 2023, elles étaient 21 000, et en 2024, 50 000. Le nombre de bénéficiaires a plus que doublé. » Pour ces femmes payées à la journée, ce dispositif évite de devoir choisir entre la faim et une pénibilité extrême. Dans les rues de la capitale indienne désertées par la chaleur, Sunita vend ses fruits à l'ombre d'un arbre. Elle aussi a souscrit à l'assurance, mais face au coût de la vie, l'indemnité lui paraît maigre. « Je gagne 200 à 300 roupies par jour. Cela pour un ou deux repas. C'est mieux que rien, mais ce n'est pas assez. Un peu plus, ce serait bien », confie-t-elle. Si l'assurance paramétrique existe depuis plus d'une décennie en Inde, la couverture contre la chaleur, elle, commence à peine. Des géants du secteur comme Bajaj Allianz adaptent leurs offres. Ils proposent des contrats sur mesure, valables de quelques jours à plusieurs mois selon les pics de canicule. Ashish Agrawal, directeur technique chez Bajaj General Insurance, anticipe une hausse de la demande : « Aujourd'hui, le climat est le plus grand risque pour tous. Nous devons absolument nous protéger. Je suis sûr que le marché de l'assurance climatique va croître. » Cet été, l'Inde étouffe sous des températures record qui frôlent les 50°C. Près de 400 millions de travailleurs informels subissent de plein fouet ce dérèglement. Face à l'urgence, ces micro-assurances anti-chaleur offrent un premier filet de sécurité pour s'adapter à la crise climatique. À lire aussiEn Inde, une classe moyenne désormais à deux vitesses

Komal Choong is the co-founder of Tire Pig, an AI-powered tire shopping platform, and Zohr, a mobile tire installation service operating in Kansas City and Dallas-Fort Worth. Born in India and raised in Kansas City, Komal and his brother cut their teeth in the restaurant business before turning a shared obsession with cars into a venture; flipping parts, then full vehicles, then launching Zohr in 2015 to fix the tire-buying experience they kept finding broken.A decade in, Komal has built a customer base of premium-vehicle owners who pay for convenience, and he's now putting that audience in front of an AI engine that ranks tires by performance data rather than brand relationships. Tire Pig's public beta is live, with a membership model that pairs tires with roadside, flat repair, and road hazard coverage built around the same service-first thesis.EPISODE SPONSORThis episode of the Gain Traction Podcast is sponsored by Cosmo Tires. Cosmo Tires offers a wide range of tire solutions designed for durability, reliability, and performance across multiple vehicle segments. Learn more at https://www.cosmotires.comIn this episode…The tire-buying decision is moving out of the shop and onto the customer's phone. Komal's platform pulls thousands of data points on every tire available in a buyer's market, weights them against where the customer lives and what they drive, and surfaces three options out of 150, with zero brand favoritism. Brand-loyalty pitches at the counter are losing power because the customer walks in already knowing which three tires fit their car best.The install side is shifting just as fast. Mobile installers run on the customer's schedule, not the bay's. Online buyers expect a concierge handoff that puts tires in their driveway or routes them to a partner shop without a phone call. Shop owners who treat themselves as the destination keep losing margin to brokers who treat themselves as the network. Komal lays out the model, DoorDash for tires, plus a membership wrapper, that's pulling high-value customers off the dealership and chain-shop conveyor belt.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:30] Komal's path from restaurants to flipping cars to founding Zohr in 2015[05:27] How Tire Pig's AI ranks tires against where you live, what you drive, and your priorities[08:51] The two install paths: ship-to-door DIY or concierge handoff to a partner shop[12:12] Inside Zohr's mobile tire shop model running in Kansas City and Dallas-Fort Worth[15:26] The Tire Pig membership: flat repair, roadside, road hazard, and monthly coffee[17:34] Why "nerd mode" gives enthusiasts the full data stack behind every recommendation[19:05] Cutting brand bias by narrowing 150 tires to three based on performance data[22:13] Leading with empathy and putting the customer's perspective ahead of the saleResources mentioned in this episode:Komal Choong on LinkedInTire Pig WebsiteZohr WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:"We want to give the power back to the consumer.""We're simply trying to provide the best unbiased recommendation based on data that's available online.""It's as easy as buying something on Amazon, maybe even easier, because the decision process has been simplified significantly.""The whole entire idea is trying to make tires a little bit less confusing, so people can make a better decision for themselves.""We've always kind of put ourselves in the consumer shoes before we even put ourselves in our own shoes sometimes."Action Steps:Audit last month's tire tickets to see how often the same three SKUs show up, then align your counter pitch with the data-backed shortlist customers now expect from AI-powered tire shopping platforms.Apply to become a Tire Pig install partner in your market before a competitor down the road claims the default spot on the network map.Stand up a mobile install option, even a single van, and route it to fleet accounts and high-end residential customers willing to pay a premium to skip the lobby.Bundle every tire install into a 12-month membership at checkout that covers rotations, alignments, a flat repair credit, and road hazard coverage.Train your service writers to confirm or beat an AI-vetted top three with local intelligence on regional wet-traction performance, fitment quirks, and current rebate stacking.
What if the changes happening in your body… weren't the end of your vitality—but the beginning of a more empowered relationship with yourself? In this episode, Dr. Sonia sits down with Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about hormones, metabolism, and what's really happening during perimenopause and menopause. This is where science meets self-advocacy. For so many women, midlife comes with shifts that feel confusing, frustrating, and often dismissed. Hormones fluctuate. Energy changes. Libido shifts. And too often, women are told… "It's just your age." "This is normal." "You'll just have to deal with it." But here's the truth: You deserve more than dismissal. You deserve understanding. You deserve support. In this honest and expansive discussion, Dr. Sonia and Dr. Komal explore the complex relationship between hormones, sexual health, and overall wellbeing—and why this stage of life is not a decline, but a powerful turning point. Because without the right information… Without the right support… Without tuning into your own body… It's easy to feel disconnected, confused, and alone in the changes you're experiencing. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, you'll learn:

Self-proclaimed “protest poet” Komal Bukhari tells Jared what this title means to her and how, in her view, speaking truth to power is not an act of bravery—it's a way of being. They also discuss Komal's process, how she approaches the heavy themes of her work with patience to avoid burnout, and how MFA deadlines complicate this process. She also tells Jared about teaching creative writing versus English composition, how the MFA taught her it takes a hundred hours to finish a poem, and what it's like moving from Pakistan to the small town of Carbondale, Illinois. Komal Bukhari is a Pakistani poet and MFA candidate in creative writing at Southern Illinois University. Her work explores theology, dissent, and the personal cost of defying patriarchal and religious boundaries. She writes about honor killing, blasphemy laws, and the politics of faith in Pakistan, often examining her own struggle to seek freedom within and beyond these systems. Her poem “Iconoclast” was featured by BBC Urdu, where she was named an emerging poet, and her poems have appeared in Pakistani anthologies.

Most PR and comms teams say they are “data-driven” Very few actually are.In this episode, Richard Midon is joined by Komal Lath from Tute Consult in Mumbai to talk through how PR work changes when you stop relying purely on instinct and start using real audience data to shape campaigns.Komal shares details of a recent cosmetics brand refresh campaign she worked on in which one national message was replaced with multiple local campaigns across India, without extra budget or people. The difference was not the outlets, but how they used data to decide what mattered to different audiences.They also talk honestly about where AI genuinely helps PR teams, where it does not, and why long format content is quietly outperforming short form in some unexpected places.This episode is for agency teams and in-house comms pros who are tired of generic advice and want to understand how modern PR is actually working on the ground.GUESTKomal LathLOCATION: Mumbai, IndiaWeb: www.tute.co.inNEW TO PR?- Check out the new podcast 'Getting A Job In PR' - https://gettingajobinpr.comSUBSCRIBE- Video and Audio links here - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/listen/Or search for "The Public Relations Podcast" on all good podcast appsCONNECT WITH ME- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-midson/- Website - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/- 'Getting A Job In PR' - https://gettingajobinpr.comFUTURE GUESTS- Check out: https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/be-a-guest/
Fiscal slippage, lower economic growth, sticky inflation, weaker dollar, steeper yield curve, financial instability; these are the key prognostications of Dr. Komal Sri-Kumar in our year-end podcast. President of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, Sri is a deep thinker on macro trade strategies, and his forecasting track record is outstanding. Going into 2026, he is bearish both stocks and bonds, long vols and gold, and bearish the USD. He worries that the inevitable bursting of the AI-bubble and sticky inflation would cause stagflation and financial instability risks in the US next year. He is also concerned about the erosion of institutional strength in the US, from the central bank to the treasury to the statistical agencies. An unambiguously bleak outlook.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The LA Food Podcast, we dive into one of the most heated debates in the LA dining scene: why are Angelenos calling for a boycott of Enrique Olvera's acclaimed downtown restaurant Damian? Is the backlash justified, or has a whistleblowing media outlet (LA Taco) gone too far?Father Sal joins the conversation as we unpack the Damian controversy, celebrate the two Los Angeles spots that landed on Bon Appétit's 2025 Best New Restaurants in America list (Komal! Camelia!!), and highlight four beloved LA restaurants saved by community support (The Reel Inn! The Pantry!! Dulan's!!! Cole's French Dip????). We also break down the New York Times' lukewarm review of one of America's most famous dining rooms (Alinea).Plus, we recap recent eats across the city—from the new tasting menu at Firstborn in Chinatown, to the ever-popular Saffy's in East Hollywood, to Father Sal's first (and unforgettable) trip to the celiac-unfriendly cult favorite, Courage Bagels.Powered by Acquired Taste Media.–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! https://thelonelyoyster.com/

We bring the year to an end with astute market strategist and Fed watcher Dr. Komal Sri-Kumar. Sri begins by taking stock of the US economy and markets, how they have been fuelled by fiscal stimulus and the Fed put. Sri is a strong critic of the Fed’s track record on price and financial stability, and he worries that inflation and market risks could be back on the horizon in 2025, even if they seem remote now. We talk about the balance sheet of US households, which look fine on aggregate, but Sri points out that those at the low-end of the income spectrum are struggling with high cost of living and debt service. On corporate balance sheet, Sri worries about commercial real estate and the proliferation of private equity and debt. We then take a look at the outlook for the dollar, gold, and EM assets. Sri sees a year of two halves; first the Trump trades and then the fading of the sugar rush. Expect a volatile 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

India has always birthed at home. Women birthed at home as a culture. Today, women are going back to their roots out of the lucrative outcome of health, easier labor and comfortable birth. Not just India, women birthed at home across the world, as homo sapiens, this was the primal instinct. Yes, women died in birth and babies died too. They die in hospitals today as well not because of someone's fault or lack of medical support. Things happen beyond the understanding of medicine, science and more. Birth and Death both fall in the same category. If you look at it from the place of nature, we are open to being surprised by nature when it comes to plants and animals becuase we are detached but we shrink ourselves in our wisdom, intellect and logic because of the fear of not being able to control death in birth that we have compromised the health of both mothers and babies to avoid a rare event like death. What is worse - living with substandard health by being exposed to drugs and medicines as we begin life or aim for a healthier entry into life and motherhood and accept that death if that is to happen , it will by the rules of that one power no matter where we birth.So should we aim for a drugged birth and compromised postpartum for women and babies or aim for the highest experience of birth and surrender to God what is not in our control. Might seem so religious , so irresponsible , so irrational. But think about it all wisdom to humankind always came through God or nature and all that we have lost in our civilised world is by holding control over nature and assuming power over it that we are suffering the outcomes of climate , living, food and water. What is left?Komal went through an internal journey to finally arrive at her decision to birth at home and her experience speaks for itselfTune in now!Komal is a Prenatal Postnatal yoga instructor who teaches both in person and virtually and has been serving places in and around Delhi for over 7 yrs now!Support the showSign up for Traverse the Labor Land and Own your birth programs! visit www.birthagni.com/contactusSupport the show: If you like what you hear, leave us a rating on Spotify app and answer the question at each episode! a review on Apple podcasts.

Menopause and the years leading up to it - perimenopause, are periods of significant change in a woman's body. Working as a physician, I've seen firsthand how these hormonal changes can affect women, especially those struggling with weight.Unfortunately, if you're in the obesity category and considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the lack of clear guidance and support. The crucial link between weight management, menopause, and HRT often gets overlooked, leaving many women at risk and unsure about their options for treatment.In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia, who is triple board-certified in endocrinology, obesity medicine, and internal medicine and passionate about improving metabolic health in the community. Together, we discuss the significant physiological changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause, the benefits of HRT in improving insulin resistance and blood sugar control, and the intricate relationship between menopause, obesity, and heart health.ReferencesWhat Is Metabolic Syndrome?You Are Not Broken Podcast by Kelly Casperson MDmenopause.orgReset/Recharge Podcast with Dr. Komal Patil-SisodiaAudio Stamps01:20 - Dr. Komal shares her background in endocrinology and how obtaining her obesity medicine board certification has helped her practice.11:48 - We find out about the importance of being proactive when it comes to starting conversations around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with a knowledgeable physician.17:48 - Dr. Rentea and Dr. Komal emphasize the importance of seeking out healthcare providers who are knowledgeable and up-to-date about HRT and menopause management, and suggest questions to ask.21:19 - We explore the benefits of HRT, such as improving insulin resistance and blood sugar control.29:00 - We learn how menopause, obesity, and heart health are interconnected and Dr. Komal recommends safer HRT options to manage these health concerns effectively.Quotes“We are complex human beings. And what we know now and what we know through research may change five years from now. It's always important to be looking at the latest data and evolving your thought patterns as you move forward.” - Dr. Patil-Sisodia“You have to fix what you can about your environment as much as possible. And then at some point, your genetics will kick in and that's no fault of your own. That is literally what is encoded in your body. And at that point, if you've done all of the lifestyle things, it's okay to ask for help.” - Dr. Patil-Sisodia“As a medical community, for a long time we haven't shown women grace and we haven't shown patients who are struggling with obesity grace.” - Dr. Patil-Sisodia“Hormone replacement therapy should be available to all women, even those who are struggling with obesity.” - Dr. Patil-SisodiaAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.
