There are similarities between the UN's efforts to pursue a disarmament strategy for nuclear weapons and the regulation of the military applications of AI. Given the multiple parallel initiatives on this issue, inputs would also have to be gathered from a range of stakeholders already working on the issue, such as the REAIM participants, the United States, and other countries, in order to regulate AI in the military domain. The private sector has a role here to drive governance on this topic as well, given that most of the technology emanates from their R&D efforts. Here, more regulation should not be seen as a roadblock to innovation; instead, it can accelerate it. This is because empirically-based regulations would allow the adoption of such AI systems to be faster. The lack of any such regulation could even lead to undesirable outcomes, which may hamper the growth of the industry.  In this episode of Interpreting India, Izumi Nakamitsu joins Konark Bhandari to discuss the military applications of AI.EPISODE CONTRIBUTORSIzumi Nakamitsu assumed her position as under-secretary-general and high representative for disarmament affairs on May 1, 2017. Prior to taking on this post, she served as assistant administrator of the Crisis Response Unit at the United Nations Development Programme since 2014. She has many years of experience within and outside the UN system, most recently as special adviser ad interim on follow-up to the Summit on Addressing Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants between 2016 and 2017. She was previously director of the Asia and the Middle East Division of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations between 2012 and 2014 and director of the Department's Division of Policy, Evaluation and Training from 2008 to 2012. She holds a Master of Science degree in foreign service from Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and a Bachelor of Law degree from Waseda University, Tokyo.Konark Bhandari is a fellow with Carnegie India. He is a lawyer who has researched certain areas in the digital economy, focusing primarily on approaches to antitrust regulation of companies in the digital realm. He had earlier worked at India's antitrust regulator, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), where he worked closely with senior officials on a variety of matters. He is also an avid follower of the regulation of the space technology ecosystem and is keen to contribute to that discipline. While at the CCI, he was a member of the Internal Coordination Committee on the Think Tank on Digital Markets. Konark was also attached to the office of the chairperson of CCI, where his duties involved providing a briefing on live cases as well as speechwriting responsibilities. Konark has published papers in the areas of antitrust, intellectual property, and corporate law. 

In today's podcast I talk about: Morning swim session with Manas. Puri journey. Visiting artisans villages. Konark temple visit. Jagannath ji darshan.

The iCET was launched on the sidelines of the Quad Summit in Tokyo in May 2022. Both U.S. President Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the launch of this initiative, which was to be spearheaded by the National Security Councils of the two countries to expand partnership in critical and emerging technologies. Is the iCET more than just a deal? What is the case for comparisons between the iCET and the landmark India-U.S. Civilian Nuclear Deal? What makes the iCET different from earlier initiatives between India and the United States? Does Prime Minister Modi's upcoming state visit to the United States put the iCET under pressure to "deliver" something? What is the importance of export control measures in India-U.S. tech ties?In this episode of Interpreting India, Arun K.

Situated on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, The Sun Temple of Konark compliments the picturesque coastline of Odisha. Also known as the Arka Kshetra, the land of the sun, narrates a magnificent tale of gratefulness.    It was here that Samb, the son of Shri Krishna, suffering from leprosy, worshiped the Sun for twelve years. After Shamb was recuperated from his misfortunes by the grace of the Sun, he built the idol of his savior to show his gratitude. That event established the tradition of Sun worship which eventually became embedded into the local culture.    Today, in the state of Odisha, the tenth day of the bright fortnight of Paush month is observed as Samb Dashami. On this day, mothers worship the Sun praying for the health and long life of their children Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

भारतीय वास्तु का एक अद्धभुत नमूना। एक ऐसा मंदिर जो सदियों तक भारत की पहचान था। आज खँडहर हो जाने के बावजूद इसका आकार, पत्थरों पर उकेरी मूर्तियां और पहिये और इसके गर्भगृह से जुड़ी अनेकों कहानियां इसे बेजोड़ बनाती हैं। कोणार्क हमारी उस समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक, धार्मिक स्थापत्य की परंपरा का भी प्रतीक है जो अब लुप्त हो चुकी है। लेकिन यहाँ आनेवाला कोई भी इसके वैभव से प्रभावित हुए बगैर नहीं रह पता। Symphony in stones: Konark A temple dedicated to the Sun god, Konark's architecture has no parallel in the entire Subcontinent. It's a symphony in stones, depicting the birth and death of human life and the importance of spirituality in between. Though in ruins, its scale, history and legends evoke awe and respect for its creators.

Having learnt the nuances of the Jaipur style of Kathak from the great master Pt Rajendra Gangani at the Kathak Kendra New Delhi, she has committed herself to practicing and propagating the art form. She has performed widely all over the globe and her performances have always been appreciated. A bright and vivacious artiste she has gained praise from connoisseurs and critics alike. Sharp yet graceful movements combined with command over deft and intricate rhythm patterns, lithe footwork and subtle, poignant expressions, mark her style. The right blend of 'taalim' and' upaj' i.e. the practiced aspect and improvisational aspect, find a place in her recitals. An 'A' grade artist of Doordarshan she has performed in major cultural events such as Khajuraho Dance Festival; Soorya festival, Trivandrum; Konark festival; Kathak Mahotsava, Delhi; Delhi International Arts Festival; The Danube Carnival, Budapest to name a few. She has also toured China, South Africa and South Korea for performances sponsored by ICCR. Swati also gives Lecture Demonstrations in schools in rural areas besides the major cities for organisations such as IRCEN and SPIC-MACAY thereby contributing to creating an awareness about our culture in the far flung villages as well. Carrying the mantle of a tradition forward as a performer, choreographer and guru Is indeed a daunting task: but she does it all with elan. Her creative streak led her to explore various themes which she presented through her choreographic work, such as 'Anvarat', based on the cosmic cycle; 'Chand Pravah', based on the grammar defined in Natyashastra for the choreography festival in Delhi; 'Of love nature and devotion' based on the poetry of Guru Rabindranath Tagore for his 150th year celebration. She choreographed on the poetry of great Sufi saints such as Bulle Shah,Kabir and Shah Hussain for the ICCR tour to South Africa in 2012 and directed “SAMPRAVAH an amalgamation of four classical dance styles of SWATI SINHA performer choreographer guru India for the Sarang festival in South Korea. She has also performed duets with Flamenco. All her productions aim to keep the sanctity of the style intact. For her contribution to the field of Kathak she has been awarded the “Women Achievers Award” by the Women's International Network and the “Glory Award” by the Jalota Welfare Foundation and the Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra Yuva Prativa Samman by Srjan, Bhubaneshwar. A complete artiste is the one who understands and accepts the responsibility of Carrying a tradition forward. She has established ‘Sampada' where a perfect blend of the traditional, and institutionalised training style is followed. Knowledge of Yoga, Classical music and Literature along with study and understanding of cultures beyond our own, are provided to the students. A holistic approach is undertaken for creating not merely performers but artistes who can preserve and add new dimensions to Kathak. Swati is the founder Secretary of Ras Raj Foundation for the arts which aims to take our classical dance and music to the grass root level. Ras Raj Foundation works with the underprivileged section of the society and organises performances and lec-dems of the traditional art forms of India.

Ah! China. The starting point… and the bane ….of every Amazon seller. On the one hand, we've all learned to source from China as a source of an endless variety of products that can be efficiently manufactured and made reliably and in big quantities. On the other, pretty much every Amazon seller has been around for a while now is that trying to compete on Amazon with Chinese factories is one of the hardest battles there is in business. So what to do? Well, one excellent solution is to source in India. Immediately, this gets around the trade tariffs the US put in place against the Chinese over the last few years. But to stop there is to miss a huge opportunity. Not only is there a trend against China from the US government, and a massive oversupply of cheap Chinese products on Amazon. There is a global backlash from consumers against mass-produced products and unethical sourcing. Step in Rural handmade goods. Billed as the “Alibaba for handmade” or perhaps better,  “Etsy for businesses”, Rural handmade is riding a global consumer wave towards ethical, local sourcing and sustainable materials. The founder and CEO of Rural Handmade, Konark, talks to us about the opportunity all e-commerce sellers have to ride the trend by sourcing from smaller rural makers.   You'll Learn: The COVID situation in India What Rural Handmade is trying to do Why people are becoming protective of their brands What people really want The importance of multiple branding The trends in handmade and Amazon in 2021

In this episode, Rocky, Mayur, Abhinandan and Prashant take a trip to an underrated food heaven: Odisha. Starting from the nondescript seaside village of Gopalpur, the gang drives through eerie lanes to reach their destination, only to find a quaint village with nothing more than a couple of shops and a really scenic and calm seashore. What sets Gopalpur apart is a DRDO testing centre on a nearby island, so the quiet is punctuated by thumping explosions. Mayur remembers eating Mathura cakes, which Rocky doesn’t really recommend. Driving out, the team lands up at a dhaba opposite Chilika Lake. The dhaba is basically a tent with an open kitchen and no tables or chairs. Abhinandan skips the food thanks to a seafood allergy, but the rest got their fair share of veg and non-veg food, including prawns the size of a human fist, soft rotis, and authentic Odia fish curry. The team made multiple visits thanks to the delicious food, and the crabs are to die for!At the Jagannath temple in Puri, the group witnesses the Rath Yatra. Rocky says the vibe was infectious, with drummers, babas smoking herbs, and the entire community preparing to pull the temple chariots. The day of the yatra was a “frenzy”, Abhinandan says, and they feared for their cameramen, who were trying to shoot sequences of Rocky and Mayur in the middle of this chaos. Otherwise, Abhinandan remembers Puri as small and ill-maintained, though Rocky brings up its Khaaja, a sweet dish that he loves. The gang also discusses the chocolate pancakes at Peace restaurant, which was a welcome respite from the heavy Indian food they were otherwise devouring. Moving on to the Konark temple, Abhinandan remembers our very professional anchors waking up at 3 am and getting camera-ready for when the first rays of the sun hit the temple — only to be welcomed by a sunrise blocked by clouds. Driving to the epicentre of food in Odisha, Bhubaneshwar, Rocky highly recommends the Bhubaneshwar Food Festival, the heavy Lingaraj Lassi, and the Durga Mandap, an open food court with some of the most heavenly Odia dishes. Prashant sighs at the fact that Odisha’s food hasn’t made it out to the larger world, considering the state’s array of wonderful sweets and mutton dishes.As the group delves into discussions on Odisha’s food, people, culture and quirks, they remember a disappointing biryani in Cuttack, a fantastic meal next to an open drain, and the finesse of the Chenna Poda, a cheese dessert.All this and much much more, only on Highway On My Podcast.

The system is still in Beta but Rural Handmade can advise in person. How does that compare to eg Jungle Scout and similar Amazon research tools? Those tools are based on BSR etc. solely from Amazon data. Rural Handmade has replicated this kind of thing from different sites. It’s not just for those who want to sell handmade on Amazon - it’s about different portals. Rural Handmade is trying to rely on the global e-commerce markets as a whole, not just Amazon or any particular marketplace. However, if you want to sell handmade on Amazon, they are an excellent start, as they cut out the non-handmade Amazon data. 3Design for handmade items Sellers then work on a basic design. Then Rural Handmade can make a professional design (if the Amazon seller doesn't have that capability in-house). They then hand on work to SE Asia. If an Amazon seller has only a broad design idea for a handmade item, can you give recommendations? Yes, they can start from a very broad idea and they can do research. If you want to procure 10-15 SKUs, you upload ideas and designs to the site. There are catalogues in different segments. They can help you You could start building a brand with £100 Protection against copying/defensible The problem in Amazon is a big fish consumes a smaller fish. Whereas if it’s handmade, it’s hard to copy. It would be very hard to find the locations. So selling handmade on Amazon is a fantastic way to defend your product against being copied. Suppliers or competitors who want to copy product have to go through the same supply chain. There is basically no plastic in rural handmade goods so that rules out a lot of Chinese factories from easily copying the goods. And sustainable local materials - eg recycled metal, etc. are not easy to find. For example, for hemp, you’ll need to go to Nepal, and the export of it is restricted. Hedging risks when launching new Amazon products If you buy one SKU for $5000 vs. 10 SKUs for $5000, you are hedging the risk of a product not performing as expected. If you research and launch 10, you may see success with 2-3 of them. If you sell handmade on Amazon, you have the opportunity to spread your capital among multiple SKUs. With the same money, you’ll learn a lot more - and you can build on the basics when they succeed. Production Capacity/scalability with handmade goods There are £120-200M people in SE Asia involved in handmade The potential to scale is potentially there - but Konark isn’t looking at mass production of handmade. It’s about OPTIMAL production - price is so that consumers don’t have to take out a loan. Then keep innovating - small, medium batches. So it’s not a model built around mass production with "me-too" products. A lot of makers are not as educated as many sellers and their vision is limited. The first few iterations for them are painful because they’re used to making things quickly. But 120-150 million people in rural SE Asia are now being organised by Rural Handmade. You can get a capacity of 300-500, even up to 5000 units per batch, depending on raw materials. Can you start with low MOQs with handmade products? Anything between 300-5000 units of handmade goods is probably doable. Could start off with a smaller batch - say 100 units. But it does have to make a business case - there are minimal shipping costs. What’s a typical price per unit for handmade goods? A leather handmade bag would say be £3-6 ($4-8) The reason it’s cheaper is the “disintermediation of the su...

Handmade products from developing countries are a massive trend. They give Amazon sellers several huge business advantages while doing good. Find out what! Handmade Products - a Golden Opportunity for Amazon Sellers What is Rural Handmade about? It's about connecting rural hand-makers (makers of handmade products from South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America) with global markets. Also to help Amazon sellers and ecommerce entrepreneurs to convert their ideas into an actual product. Sustainability is a growing market There is a growing awareness of the need for sustainable products among consumers. The issue is that sustainability as it stands is quite expensive. It's almost a luxury. On the other hand,  if you look at the supply potential across the developing world - including handmade products from India- they've been working sustainably for 4000 years, It's a huge industry. So we can make sustainability affordable for consumers if done correctly. The hand-makers lack two things: Design excellence - not making the right types of products. Africa and South America makers of handmade products,  for example,  make a lot of products without really understanding the needs and wants of the consumers.  The need to get in sync with global consumer market. They lack the reach to consumer markets. Makers of handmade products from India especially,  for example, struggle to reach international markets due to the size and distribution of the maker population. What's the business case/ upside for resellers/retailers of importing handmade products? Retailers have been using very complex/unwieldy tools and ways to do sourcing, eg Alibaba. If you already see the product on Alibaba, you're trying to make slight variations to existing products. This isn't going to benefit you as much as having Rural Handmade focusses on a suite of tools to help connect sellers better to makers. Konark's company also marries data and design. They look at the exact needs of the entrepreneur, then develop a design and get a low cost prototype made. Essentially a B2B company - want More businesses to work with them. How does importing handmade products  work in practice? Example: leather product to put passports laptop in for avid traveller. Come to them, NDA agreement, it's your private property. You keep IP. Design team creates a very simple design - dimensions, angles, material. Then makers make the prototype - this a benchmark product. That gets shipped to entrepreneur, they then make modifications. Then finalise. Then make batches in say 100s, 500s, 1000 It's a fast and frugal process. What sort of upsides would be retailers get from working with a rural handmade maker? If you have a few things customers are looking for now, they have fastest turnaround time. They have an internal design team - convert ideas into 3D designs. These go to the artisanal communities - work into real product. 15-45 days - this is fast for handmade! This is a big USP. Mass produced products vs. Handmade The scope for making mistakes and correcting them is expensive. A new die could cost you $5-15K Handmade can give you great freedom to innovate without big downsides. How do you reduce variability with handmade goods/get consistency? They use industry standard SOPs including tolerances etc. The key is to communicate it to the makers. There will be slight variations but that makes it unique and that is a USP, not a problem. These are often products that will be given to consumers as a gift. It's not going to be in an industrial context -so the tolerances of for example dimensions are not usually critical. Quality Control processes There is a “lead artisan” in each team who is there to keep an eye on QC. At the end of a production cycle, they put in a third-party quality control party. So it's people who help manage the quality. How do you choose which artisans to work with?

In this Chaitime, we talk to vocalist Konark Sarangi (http://www.konarksarangi.com/). A devoted student of Indian Classical Music and Vocal artist who works on Social Issue based Musical projects. His musical videos Hausla Na Ruthe and Ghar Jaana Hai have met with critical acclaim. His first video “Ghar Jaana Hai” showcases the issue of Drought & Migration. The video has been well accepted in film festivals across the world with 23 official selections (Including Miami Beach Film Festival, Richmond International Film festival, Los Angeles Film Awards) and has won 6 Awards in various categories. His latest video "Hausla Na Ruthe" has the Orissa Super Cyclone as its backdrop. The cyclone struck the state of Odisha in 1999 causing large scale devastation killing around 50000 people. "Hausla Na Ruthe" depicts one such story of 'Charu Maa,' a super courageous woman from the village of Gundalba, Odisha who refused to give up and led a group of women to fight against nature's fury and restored an entire forest cover that got destroyed in the 1999 Orissa Super Cyclone. Konark started his musical learning under the able guidance of Shri Mahesh Kale in the San Francisco Bay Area. His quest for learning the highly rich traditions of Indian Classical music took him to the legendary Dhrupad vocalist, Padmashree Pandit Ramakant Gundecha from whom he learns Dhrupad gayaki. Konark has performed in various solo concerts in the US and has also performed as an accompanying artist in many classical / semi-classical concerts.

After some excellent Spaceweathernews updates Russ goes through some missing information he missed when discussing missing people in episode 61. This eventually leads to a brief discussion on the topic of alien abductions, implants, and the possible connections to shamanism. In the second half of the show, we read portions of Graham Hancock's book Underworld, in which he describes the mysterious pyramids dotting the tropical jungles of Maldive islands that are off limits to tourists, and what this might mean regarding possible submerged ruins in and around the Maldives. This then leads to the topic of rock-cut temples found around the world, and how they are basically impossible to explain as being cut by hand using conventional tools.
