Created to be Manish It might not be an exaggeration to say that many western societies are experiencing a crisis of manhood. Two and half millenniums ago Socrates was asked, “What is a virtuous (good) man?” Plato recorded Socrates long answer in The Republic in which Socrates defined what a virtuous man was, and how a society could organised and governed to ensure it could be achieved. The essence of the Socratic answer included: A society can help to produce a virtuous man by: * having him born to good parents. * educating him in manners, literature, rhetoric, logic, mathematics, ethics, religion and art. * ensuring that he is governed by virtuous leaders of impeccable character. * training him so that he is physically strong and able to provide for his wife and children. How might we answer the same question today? What is a good man today? Socrates answered this question by asking his various enquirers questions evoking them to think about the answer as they were walking to an event in the distant city. Throughout this study, I will also be asking questions of you that are designed to also make you think and consider the possible answers. Here's why I think this is an important question for Christian men to consider and to answer: (i) Abusive men are the main perpetrators of sexual abuse against women and children; (ii) men comprise the higher percentage of prison populations in western societies by a long way; and, (iii) most of the men in prisons have no meaningful relationships with their father. This is why I think we have a crisis of manhood! Can we find answer to the question, “What is a good man?” in the pages of the Bible? Not only do I think we can, I think that once we have answered this question and are forced to ask another follow-on question: How can we as the Church be a solution to this crisis of manhood? And that is the humble goal of this series. But first we have to lay a foundation from the Bible and it is going to involve me being a little bit nerdy before we can...
Manish Vora is the CEO and co-founder of the Museum of Ice Cream. He is known by his employees as “Flavor Flav” and he has built a global brand that welcomes more than 2 million visitors annually to its sprinkle-fueled worlds in the United States and Asia.A Yale graduate, Manish left his cushy Wall Street job to build life-size pools of sprinkles and unite people of all ages through ice cream. He has coined the term “experiums” to describe the immersive, multi-sensory experiences that the museum creates: spaces designed to spark imagination, play, and connection. After facing near bankruptcy during the pandemic, the museum began to thrive after doubling down on joy and human connection.Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVEmail: ToDineForTV@gmail.com Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceNotre Dame Family WinesFollow Our Guest:Official Site: MuseumOfIceCream.comFacebook: Museum of Ice CreamInstagram: @manishmasLinkedIn: Manish VoraFollow The Restaurant:Official Website: The Inn at Bay Fortune - Prince Edward Island, CanadaFacebook: The Inn at Bay FortuneInstagram: @InnAtBayFortune Hosted on Acast.

Do you need an original idea to start a company? Do you need to be a consumer of your category? Do you need the "right" co-founders?Manish Taneja was none of those things. He grew up in Faridabad a self-described "frog of his own well." He went to IIT and "felt very small." He became a banker, then an investor, then started a beauty company with two other male engineers, with no female co-founder, and no personal stake in the category. He still built Purplle into one of India's largest beauty platforms.In this episode of Unstarted, Avnish Bajaj and Manish sit down to work through the questions that every founder without a clear edge asks themselves:1. Do you need an original idea, or is it okay to be a "copycat entrepreneur"? When VCs tell you your team is missing something 2. Do you fix the weakness or back your strength? – How do you find a wedge in a category where everyone else has more money, more experience, and more insider knowledge? 3. What do you do when your ego won't let you leave — and is that the thing keeping you in the game? 4. How do you build responsibly without losing your edge?Manish's answer to all of it, in the end, comes down to two lines: back your strengths, and build responsibly. This conversation is about how he got there.Chapters00:00 The $100 million mistake01:55 Faridabad, the frog in the well03:03 Feeling small at IIT, and the speech that changed everything05:31 Lehman, Avendus, and the long apprenticeship08:52 "I was the original copycat entrepreneur"12:58 The feedback from Matrix: no woman co-founder14:54 Why beauty, and why now17:52 Dabau early: the rosemary water playbook22:00 How Purplle won Kerala (and met the priests)26:02 The internal compass, and saying no to Thrasios28:53 Why your ego won't let you leave30:36 Why he built in Bombay33:17 The IPO question35:49 Build responsibly
Most organizations deploying AI today cannot answer a deceptively simple question. Which model is actually running in their environment?It is not a hypothetical concern. Model substitution, supply chain compromise, adversarial fine-tuning, and jurisdictional compliance gaps are all live risk vectors — and the industry has largely been relying on contractual guarantees from AI vendors rather than technical controls to address them.That gap is exactly what Project VAIL was built to close.In this episode I sat down with Manish Shah, Co-founder and CEO of Project VAIL (Verifiable Artificial Intelligence Layer). Manish is a repeat founder with 20+ years of company building experience, including as co-founder of LiveRamp, and he is now bringing that background to one of the most consequential unsolved problems in AI security, provably knowing and verifying which model is executing in your environment at runtime.VAIL's approach combines two core technologies. Behavioral fingerprinting creates a unique, verifiable identity for AI models based on how they actually behave during inference, without relying on access to model weights or architecture. ZkTorch, developed in collaboration with researchers at UIUC, brings zero-knowledge proofs to large generative AI models for the first time at practical scale, enabling cryptographic verification of model computations without exposing sensitive model internals.We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including:Why behavioral fingerprinting is a fundamentally different and more resilient approach to model identification How model identity becomes a critical security primitive as agentic AI deployments expand Detecting prohibited and derivative models, including open-source models derived from Chinese-origin foundations like DeepSeek and Qwen Where frameworks like NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act fall short on model verification requirements How verified model fingerprints fit into zero-trust architectures for AI systems and agentic workflows What standardization for verifiable AI needs to look like and which bodies should be driving itModel verification is not a niche research problem. It is becoming a foundational requirement for AI governance, compliance, and security in regulated industries and high-stakes deployments alike. This episode gives you both the technical grounding and the strategic context to understand why.
In this episode of Conquer Risk, we bring you a special guest appearance by Potomac CEO Manish Khatta on the Billion Dollar Backstory podcast, hosted by Stacey Havener. You may be familiar with Stacy's work or even heard her on this very Podcast. This is a fascinating listen, recorded not long after Potomac first crossed the $1B AUM mark. It is at the same time a fantastic time capsule of Manish in that moment, and a study in consistency, as so much of it rings as true today (at nearly $4B) as it did then. For advisors looking to scale, brand build, and continually evolve their practice, we believe you will find this conversation insightful with clear takeaways. Enjoy the show.

The data is in – and it's not pretty.After surveying 303 agencies and consultancies through the Business Maturity Quiz, we've launched The Maturity Gap Report, revealing just how wide the gap really is between the firms where operations is a strength and everyone else.In this episode, Harv is joined by operations consultant Manish Kapur and FinOps expert Rich Brett to walk through the headline findings – and what they actually mean for the way your business is run. Here are a few of the headlines they discuss:Role clarity is rarer than you think – only 35% of firms have clearly defined roles, and the knock-on effects reach everything from project delivery to decision-making bottlenecksMost operational knowledge lives in people's heads – just 21% of firms have documented their best practices, leaving businesses one resignation away from losing it allAutomation remains an untapped opportunity – only one in eight firms have automated any meaningful part of how they work, in 2026Time tracking data is being wasted – 41% of firms track time accurately, but only 13% are using that data to make decisions or course-correct mid-projectForecasting with confidence is the exception, not the rule – only one in four firms can forecast margins, revenue, and capacity with any real certaintyScale readiness is a widespread concern – just 13% of firms believe their operating model is ready for what's aheadIf you want to know where your business sits against the 303 firms in the report – and what separates the top performers from the rest – this is the episode to start with.This was originally recorded as a live webinar – if you'd prefer to watch with the presentation slides, head to YouTube here: https://youtu.be/GfQ-raYcGQgReady to take action to level up?1) Take the business maturity quiz – https://bit.ly/assess-business-maturity2) Read The Maturity Gap Report – https://scoro.com/blog/maturity-gap3) Subscribe to The Handbook: The Ops Podcast for the upcoming maturity series – https://linktr.ee/handbookpodcastAdditional Resources:
Dr. Manish Patel, co-founder and CEO of Jiva.ai and Chair of the AI Subcommittee at the BIA, where he advises the UK Government on AI policy, data privacy and healthcare applications. With a PhD in Modelling of Complex Systems from UCL and nearly a decade building algorithmic trading systems in investment banking, Manish brings a rare depth of perspective to the most overhyped term in healthcare right now.In this episode, we cut through the noise on AI. Manish challenges the very language we use, explaining why most of what gets called "AI" is really machine learning, why large language models are fundamentally not intelligent and why that distinction has very real consequences when lives are on the line. We look at where AI genuinely adds value in healthcare, from radiology to NHS administrative workflows, and where it is being dangerously overhyped, including some very pointed thoughts on using consumer-grade LLMs to make clinical diagnoses.We also explore how clinicians should think about AI as an augmenter rather than a replacement, why the productivity gains are real and where Manish believes the biggest untapped opportunity in healthcare actually sits. He closes with a frank take on what impressive AI looks like in a real clinical environment versus a polished demo and why the world is heading toward a very small group of people who truly understand what is happening under the hood.Thanks for tuning in to Episode 99.

Build your personalised asset allocation plan here: https://plan.marcellus.in The secret to wealth isn't finding the next "hot" stock—it's understanding the reality of the risks you can actually afford to take. True asset allocation isn't about chasing a bull run; it's about ensuring your money works for you even when the markets turn against you. Your investments should always mirror the financial goals your family has—otherwise, you leave their future to chance.Why did the Indian market fall 2x more than the US when the Iran-Isreal war broke out — even though India wasn't involved?In this episode of Coffee & Investing, Manish Hemnani and Saurabh Mukherjea unpack the global chain reaction that makes "India-only" portfolios fragile. We discuss how to move past the noise and build a resilient, multi-asset strategy.What You'll LearnThe macroeconomic link between geopolitical instability and the Indian economy. We discuss why India's dependence on imported energy makes the Nifty highly sensitive to conflicts thousands of miles away.Imagine it is 1995. You've just seen 10 years of thumping returns in Indian stocks, so you "blindly" invest everything. What happens next? Zero returns for the next 8 years. We discuss why recent success is often the biggest trap for investors and how to avoid it.Why spreading your money across different "assets" (like Gold, Bonds, Indian and International Stocks) is the ultimate secret to peace of mind.We analyze how equally dividing your money into the "Big 5" assets has historically delivered steady 13-14% p.a. returns with a much smoother ride than just buying the Nifty.Why "loading up" on equities once the war ends is a trap that often leads to increased investment risk.
What if the biggest mistake you can make as a founder is signing Apple as your first customer?Manish Jindal spent 10 years at Cloudflare as employee #45, helping take the company from $10 million revenue to a $60 billion public company. Manish breaks down the Cloudflare playbook: why they intentionally said “no” to Fortune 500 companies early on to protect their product, and how a single phone call from a CIO birthed their entire enterprise motion.Throughout his career, Manish has joined companies that already showed early product–market fit in large markets, allowing him to spend a decade helping scale them. Now as the President at Arize, he is building the “plumbing” that allows giants like Walmart and Uber to move from building AI agents to real-world production.We discuss why “boring” infrastructure is a more durable bet than flashy AI apps, and why owning the data remains the ultimate competitive edge. Manish also shares insights on building Go-To-Market (GTM) teams in the Cloudflare era and how that strategy has shifted in the AI era.If you are a founder or leader trying to scale a startup, this episode with Manish Jindal is for you.00:00 – Trailer01:00 – How Manish chose companies with early PMF03:45 – Founder's belief is most important04:35 – Entering dev tooling when it wasn't popular08:20 – Never leave a Co. you believe in for wrong reasons09:45 – The “boring” industries that do well in Long run12:40 – It's easy to build an agent, but hard to scale one15:06 – Why infra won't be winner-take-all18:02 – The keepers of data will win20:20 – From million to billion in Cloudflare's journey21:32 – The “holy sh*t” moment happens fast for Cloudflare24:30 – The CIO call that led to Cloudflare's enterprise plan27:04 – $50M and $100M ARR path of Cloudflare28:33 – Build enterprise motion slowly or aggressively?29:51 – Why Cloudflare didn't want Apple as customer32:10 – Early PMF at Splunk, Cloudflare, and Arize35:40 – Choosing only decade-long stints39:01 – Why Manish didn't start his own company43:37 – How GTM has changed in the AI world54:25 – What agents need to work well in production01:00:51 – Which enterprise use cases qualify for AI?01:03:52 – What went wrong with Air Canada Agent?01:04:52 – How customers are discovered01:09:01 – Claude & Cursor are the most powerful agents today01:10:55 – How Manish chooses companies to invest in01:15:15 – Why acquisitions will become the Norm01:18:35 – Technology is not a moat anymore-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Sky High Adventures: Discovering Hidden Views of Delhi Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-03-27-22-34-01-hi Story Transcript:Hi: दिल्ली के एक भव्य गगनचुंबी इमारत में वसंत की सुबह थी।En: It was a spring morning in a magnificent skyscraper in Delhi.Hi: आसमान में होली के रंग बिखरे हुए थे, और दिल्ली की चमकीली सड़कों पर हर ओर खुशियों की गूंज थी।En: Colors of Holi were scattered in the sky, and echoes of happiness were everywhere on the bright streets of Delhi.Hi: यह दृश्य इतना खूबसूरत था कि हर कोई उसे बस निहारता रह गया।En: The scene was so beautiful that everyone just kept admiring it.Hi: स्कूल ने इस खास मौके के लिए एक फील्ड ट्रिप का आयोजन किया था, जिसमें राहुल, अनन्या और मनीष जैसे छात्र शामिल थे।En: A school had organized a field trip for this special occasion, which included students like Rahul, Ananya, and Manish.Hi: राहुल हमेशा से जिज्ञासा से भरा रहता था।En: Rahul had always been filled with curiosity.Hi: आज का दिन उसके लिए भी खास था।En: Today was a special day for him as well.Hi: उसके अध्यापक ने उन्हें बताया था कि इस इमारत में एक गुप्त जगह है, जहां से पूरा दिल्ली शहर देखा जा सकता है।En: His teacher had told them there was a secret spot in this building from where the entire city of Delhi could be seen.Hi: राहुल ने सोचा, "क्या मैं उस जगह को खोज सकता हूं?" लेकिन उसके दोस्तों को उस पर यकीन नहीं था।En: Rahul thought, "Can I find that place?" But his friends didn't believe him.Hi: इमारत के भीतर, बच्चों की टोली घूम रही थी, और राहुल का मन दिलचस्पी से भर गया था।En: Inside the building, the group of children was roaming around, and Rahul was full of interest.Hi: दोपहर के भोजन के समय उसने अपनी योजना बनाई।En: At lunchtime, he made his plan.Hi: उसने अनन्या और मनीष से कहा, "चलो, हम उस गुप्त दृश्यस्थल को ढूंढते हैं!"En: He told Ananya and Manish, "Come on, let's find that secret viewpoint!"Hi: थोड़ी शंका के साथ, लेकिन रोमांच के लालच में, अनन्या और मनीष उसके साथ जाने को तैयार हो गए।En: With a little hesitation, but tempted by adventure, Ananya and Manish agreed to join him.Hi: तीनों धीरे-धीरे सुरक्षा के नियमों को नजरअंदाज करते हुए इमारत के ऊपरी मंजिलों की ओर बढ़े।En: The three of them gradually ignored safety rules and moved towards the upper floors of the building.Hi: राहुल का दिल तेजी से धड़क रहा था।En: Rahul's heart was pounding fast.Hi: “क्या हम पकड़े जाएंगे?” उसकी सोच जारी थी।En: “Will we get caught?” his mind kept thinking.Hi: आखिरकार, उन्होंने वह छिपा हुआ प्लेटफ़ार्म खोज ही लिया!En: Finally, they found the hidden platform!Hi: वहां से दिल्ली का अद्भुत दृश्य दिखाई दे रहा था।En: From there, an amazing view of Delhi was visible.Hi: रंगों से सजी दिल्ली की सड़कों को देखकर उनकी आँखें चमक उठीं।En: Their eyes lit up seeing the streets of Delhi adorned with colors.Hi: तभी उन्होंने पीछे से अध्यापक की आवाज सुनी। "अरे, क्या तुम लोग यहाँ हो?"En: Just then, they heard the teacher's voice from behind. "Hey, are you all here?"Hi: यह सुनते ही उनके पैर काँप गए।En: As soon as they heard this, their legs trembled.Hi: बिना कोई समय गँवाए, वे धीरे-धीरे और संभल कर वापस अपने समूह की ओर भागे।En: Without wasting any time, they slowly and carefully ran back towards their group.Hi: वे वापस समय पर पहुँच गए और हाजरी में शामिल हो गए।En: They returned in time and joined the attendance.Hi: अनन्या और मनीष ने राहुल की हिम्मत और उसके नेतृत्व के लिए प्रशंसा की।En: Ananya and Manish praised Rahul's courage and leadership.Hi: राहुल अब अपने आप में आत्मविश्वास महसूस कर रहा था।En: Rahul now felt confident in himself.Hi: उसने सीखा कि उसकी साहसिक भावना उसे सम्मान और दोस्ती का हकदार बना सकती है।En: He learned that his adventurous spirit could earn him respect and friendship.Hi: दिल्ली स्काईस्क्रैपर की इस यात्रा ने राहुल को खुद के प्रति एक नया नजरिया दिया।En: This trip to the Delhi skyscraper gave Rahul a new perspective on himself.Hi: होली के रंगों की तरह, उसने अपनी जिंदगी में खूब रंग भरे और समझा कि दोस्ती और आत्मविश्वास किसी भी मंजिल को पा सकते हैं।En: Like the colors of Holi, he filled his life with lots of colors and understood that friendship and self-confidence can help achieve any goal.

Greg Mayes, President and CEO of Reunion Neuroscience, and Dr. Manish Agrawal, the Co-Founder and CEO of Sunstone Therapies, shine a light on adjustment disorder, a disproportionate emotional or behavioral reaction to a significant life stressor such as a cancer diagnosis. This under-recognized condition lacks FDA-approved treatments and is often managed with SSRIs or talk therapy. The REKINDLE study evaluated the use of a psilocybin analog drug in development for treating adjustment disorder and has shown positive results by integrating emotional treatment into the standard of care for serious illnesses. Greg explains, "In fact, there are no approved investigational assets that had been approved by the FDA for adjustment disorder. But it was an area of exploration that the FDA encouraged us to move into in light of people's disproportionate and really unfortunate reactions in terms of a depressive or anxiolytic reaction to cancer diagnosis or other major medical illness like Parkinson's disease, MS, ALS, or pulmonary fibrosis." Manish elaborates, "Well, usually you have to have had some stress-related event. For example, it could be things like divorce or job loss. But here, specifically, this study is targeting an illness, and the ones that Greg had just listed out, the neurologic conditions, as well as the cancer diagnosis. And then usually it leads to symptoms, intense feelings of sadness or anxiety or hopelessness. You can have a depressed mood with its subtypes with depressed mood. Some people have more anxiety. And so both a stressor and the symptoms that present are associated directly with that. So, for example, for the study, the symptoms of sadness need to be tied to the illness, such as cancer or MS." #ReunionNeuroscience #SunstoneTherapies #AdjustmentDisorder #MentalHealth #REKINDLEStudy #Psychedelics #PsychedelicMedicine #CancerCare #MentalHealth #ClinicalTrials #Psilocybin #Oncology #PatientCare #MedicalInnovation #Neuroscience reunionneuro.com sunstonetherapies.com Download the transcript here

How do you buy a commercial property when the original business plan falls apart — and still turn it into a winning deal? In this episode of the Get Creative Podcast, host Kyle Karges sits down with real estate entrepreneur Manish Pushye and capital raiser Ingryd Hernandez to unpack a creative commercial real estate deal in Avondale, Arizona involving a shopping center, a failed liquor store plan, seller financing, private lending, and a 1031 exchange investor. Manish shares how he went from signing a lease on a retail space to negotiating ownership of the parcel after city restrictions blocked his original business model. From there, he creatively structured the acquisition using a mix of private money, seller finance, and tenant-in-common financing.

Sachin Sahel and Dhirendra return to the #YVRScreenScenePodcast for a raucous chat anchored in A Nice Indian Boy, the 2025 American romantic comedy film directed by Roshan Sethi and based on Madhuri Shekar's play of the same name. The film follows Naveen, an Indian-American doctor, who brings his fiancé, Jay Kurundkar, a white man adopted by Indian parents, to meet his traditional family. It stars Karan Soni, Jonathan Groff, Sunita Mani, Zarna Garg, and Harish Patel. Sachin plays Manish, an orthopaedic surgeon who marries Naveen's sister – he's the first nice Indian boy we meet in the film – and Dhirendra plays a very capable but utterly terrifying wedding planner. Not only is A Nice Indian Boy everything we love in a rom-com, but it builds on the genre, bringing Queer and Indian stories into that well-established North American rom-com space, and with nary a cliché in sight.Some of the best moments in A Nice Indian Boy are those that take place around the dinner table; thus, for this episode, Sabrina invites Sachin and Dhirendra to join her at the YVR Screen Scene table to raise a glass, break some bread, and talk about A Nice Indian Boy, our industry, and how they choose to stay joyful during challenging times. Also: what it's really like to work with Jonathan Groff (spoiler: he's a delight); chasing ghosts at Riverview; disco cobblers.Episode sponsor: Fish Flight Entertainment
Texas-based rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters is many things; a witty poet, passionate musician, entrepreneur, optimist, family man, and a bonafide rocket scientist. He first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary. That's when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music, poetry, a science background, and love for his community to form his signature sound, “rock with a positive vibe.”His musical roots are in rock, blues rock, and pop, and John Mayer, Tom Petty, and Jason Mraz are significant influences. “My music starts from a place of poetry and creative inspiration, and I use my ‘rocket-scientist brain' to find structures that help me explore that initial burst of inspiration and feeling – like writing haikus, my favorite! My grandmother taught me to express myself through poetry and I'm thankful to her for setting me on this creative and expressive path.”Mark has a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering, and his math and science background guides his musical explorations. He likes taking complex things such as emotions and expressing them in a way that's easy to understand. Balancing his right-brained creativity with his analytical left-brain is part of a life-long journey; music is one more place where he can explore this balance. Mark Winters Vroom Vroom Veer Show Summary Jeffery and Mark discussed Mark's music career and upcoming tours. Mark shared details about his "Good Vibes Highway Tour" in the spring and a fall tour, as well as plans to release new music in March and May. He expressed his passion for both music and his previous career as an aerospace engineer, describing how music has become a fulfilling passion project for him. Mark's Diverse Interests and Career Mark shared his diverse background, including his studies as an aerospace engineer and his passion for poetry, which he pursued as a personal hobby with his grandmother. He discussed his work in the aerospace industry, including his experience with simulation design and training for projects like the Apache and F-16 aircraft. Mark also mentioned his appreciation for music and how it played a significant role in his life, regardless of the activity he was engaged in. Mark's Guitar Learning Journey Mark shared his personal story of taking up guitar playing in 2011 as a New Year's resolution to play a song for his wife's anniversary. He approached Steve at Smack Guitars, who agreed to teach him both playing and singing, despite Mark's complete lack of musical experience. Mark chose to learn "What You Give" by Tesla, a song that resonated with him about giving rather than receiving, though he acknowledged it was challenging both to play and sing. Music's Power to Connect Mark shared his experience of learning to play guitar and performing a song for his wife at a restaurant, which led to a profound emotional connection and realization of music's power to create meaningful experiences. He described how he initially struggled with remembering chords and lyrics simultaneously but found a creative solution by hiding them inside an anniversary card. The story concluded with Mark reflecting on how this experience in 2011 changed his perspective on music as a powerful means of connection, prompting him to continue learning guitar. Forming the Band Agave Report Mark shared his experience of forming a band called Agave Report with Manish, a talented musician he met who played guitar and sang beautifully. They recruited a drummer and bass player to form a garage band, with Mark initially taking on the role of lead guitarist and backing vocalist. The band played eclectic covers including songs by The Doors, Eagles, and modern artists like Neon Trees, performing their first show in 2014 or 2015. Mark's Musical Journey and Adaptation Mark shared his musical journey, starting with a band where he struggled to sing certain songs due to personal reasons, leading him to write his own music in 2018. He released his first album in 2019 and faced challenges during a tour when COVID-19 hit, but adapted by performing online. Post-COVID, he focused on acoustic music and connected with other singer-songwriters, eventually growing his audience and performing at venues like the House of Blues Bronze Peacock Room in Houston. Mark emphasized the importance of connecting with his audience and the positive impact his music has had on people's lives. Music Industry Challenges and Opportunities Mark discussed his experiences as a musician, particularly in Houston and Las Vegas, noting the challenges small to mid-sized venues face due to economic viability issues post-COVID. He highlighted the need for musicians to be versatile and self-sufficient, mentioning the importance of community engagement and the DIY approach in the current music industry.

This content was originally released on 07/14/21 Hey y'all, Our third and (for now) final episode on Gurinder Chadha's wonderful rom-com (with songs!) lies within. We're joined by a special guest, writer/podcaster Manish Mathur! In the episode, Manish mentions an article he wrote: that's 10 Essential Films from Indian Cinema, and it's well worth your click. If you want to listen to his delightful podcast about romance in film, It Pod To Be You, you can find that here. We should be jealous because his pod name is so much better than ours, but we like listening to it (and talking to Manish) too much to be ornery. Next up: Pride & Prejudice: A New Musical! Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden sits down with Manish Shah, President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, to explore the rapidly changing landscape of insurance. Together, they examine how AI is shifting the industry from being purely a protector to one that also focuses on prevention and dynamic participation. The conversation covers everything from the persistent protection gap and the urgent need for behavioral—not just technological—transformation in insurance to the practical realities and fears surrounding the implementation of agentic AI systems. Manish Shah shares actionable insights on overcoming internal resistance, building trust with customers, and the importance of leadership courage. Throughout, listeners will gain an insider's view on how insurance models are transforming and what sets bold, future-ready leaders apart. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was delighted to welcome Manish Shah to explore how the insurance industry is being transformed at its core. Our discussion began with the fundamental premise that insurance is built on trust and a promise of protection—yet today, both are being challenged by shifting customer expectations, legacy systems, and the rapid evolution of AI technologies. Manish emphasized that closing the protection gap is not merely an issue of customer education but primarily a challenge of product and experience design. If customers do not understand or value our offerings, it's a failure of design, not comprehension. We agreed that the path to genuine transformation must be grounded in a behavioral shift—beyond technology upgrades or business process reengineering. Transformation executives must start by listening deeply to customers, adapting to their evolving needs, and fostering a culture that is not afraid to take bold risks rather than settle for incremental change. The conversation also delved into how AI, when embedded into the core—not bolted on as an afterthought—can help insurers move from process-led to truly human-centered operations. This enables better capacity, more personalized experiences, and the ability to anticipate rather than react to customers' needs. Crucially, Manish Shah articulated the importance of trust, transparency, and auditability in the AI era: true trust is built through consistent, clear, empathetic engagement, supported by AI that augments—not replaces—human judgment. The insurers that will thrive in the next 3-5 years are those who are brave enough to rethink their business models, leverage intelligent, agentic cores, and prioritize behavioral change. The future belongs to those willing to become active partners in their customers' lives, focused on prevention, participation, and peace of mind. BEST MOMENTS “If our customers don't understand or see the value in the product, then it is a design problem. It's not really a customer problem or an education problem. “Trust is built in small moments, not in any marketing material or strategic deck.” “If we can actually execute well as an industry, insurance should feel more like a proactive safety net than a just reactive payment mechanism.” “The brave ones… are those who are willing to rethink their business model and not just the tech stack.” ABOUT THE GUEST Manish Shah is the President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, a leader at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and insurance industry expertise. With over 30 years in the insurance sector, Manish Shah has been both a witness and a driver of major transformation, from the analog days of the industry to today's AI-driven innovation. He is particularly passionate about embedding intelligence into the foundation of insurance operations—not just talking about AI, but delivering it as an engine of change. At Majesco, Manish Shah oversees strategy for their cloud-native, intelligent core platform, with a special focus on agentic workflows, operational effectiveness, and preparing insurers for future challenges and opportunities in P&C, Life, Health, and Benefits. If you want to connect with Manish Shah, he encourages open dialogue and learning across the industry.

The Trump administration last week announced the repeal of the ‘endangerment finding' - the 2009 determination that climate change threatens public health and welfare. It may sound arcane, but this piece of legislation empowered the US federal government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This decision weakens the regulatory backbone of American climate policy, and may reshape the country's emissions trajectory for years to come.So what happens next?This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson consider the politics, the economics and the climate reality of this move. And Tom calls friend of the show Manish Bapna, President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council, whose organisation is preparing to challenge the rollback in court. Speaking to us just as the case was filed, Manish explains why the endangerment finding has long been the legal bedrock of federal climate action, and how the case could climb all the way to the Supreme Court.Until then, uncertainty reins: is this a temporary political detour - or a structural turning point for US climate leadership? And if federal authority falters, will states, businesses and markets keep the transition moving anyway?Learn More:

IT services has become the largest sector in the $5.4 trillion global IT industry. But it's also become a highly competitive sector. In the U.S. alone, the number of IT services firms increased 37% between 2002 and 2022 (Census Bureau). The result? The companies that hire IT services firms have more trouble determining which ones to use. That's why many IT services firms are turning to thought leadership. They see the need to demonstrate their unique expertise.

The trio discuss key findings from the research, which included a survey of 300 IT services firms, a survey of 200 executives who decide on which IT services firms to use, and 20 interviews with thought leadership professionals in the industry, their clients and others.

In this episode of Lit with Charles, Charles welcomes British writer Manish Chauhan to celebrate the lead-up to his debut novel Belgrave Road (out with Faber in January). Set in Leicester, the book traces the intersecting lives of Mira, newly arrived from India in an arranged marriage that offers little refuge, and Talia, a Somali refugee navigating the UK asylum system. Manish speaks candidly about the long road to publication - writing since his teens, balancing a demanding career as a finance lawyer, and building momentum through short fiction - and about the real-life encounters and observations that sparked his story. At the heart of the conversation is what he hopes fiction can do right now: complicate the rhetoric around immigration by showing that every person contains “a whole number of stories,” not just the ones that dominate headlines.As always, the episode is also a masterclass in reading as a writer. Manish shares four books that shaped his craft and sensibility: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, Runaway by Alice Munro, Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee, and Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Manish Khatta, CEO and CIO of Potomac, for a candid and insightful conversation about building and scaling a modern asset management firm through transparency, technology, and content.Manish, a self-described quant and lifelong Potomac team member, shares his journey from programming mechanical trading systems straight out of college to now leading a fast-growing, multi-siloed investment business. At the heart of Potomac's identity is a fierce commitment to risk management—reflected in their trademarked tagline, Built to Conquer Risk—and a bold content strategy that sets them apart in a traditionally conservative industry.The episode explores how Potomac adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to improve communication, accountability, and execution across all departments. Manish explains how EOS meetings, scorecards, and cross-functional transparency have fundamentally changed how the firm operates and drives growth. This operational discipline is mirrored in their use of CRM—specifically HubSpot—not just as a contact database, but as the central nervous system of their sales and marketing efforts. “If it's not in the CRM, it doesn't exist,” Manish says, underscoring the importance of tracking and acting on every client interaction.But what truly sets this conversation apart is the deep dive into Potomac's content engine. From producing as many as seven pieces of content a week to launching creative projects like “Industry Gossip” and a Seinfeld-inspired series featuring advisors in classic cars, Manish and his team have taken an unconventional, personality-driven approach to branding. He's unapologetic about avoiding product talk in content, emphasizing that building trust and brand recognition always comes before the sales pitch.Manish also reflects on leadership—how becoming a father shifted his perspective, and how he's learning to blend hard-charging expectations with empathy and kindness. He opens up about the challenges of scaling people and culture alongside business growth and offers pointed advice for young professionals entering the industry: stay curious, stay visible, and never underestimate the power of showing up.Whether you're a CEO, a sales leader, or a content creator in the investment space, this episode is a masterclass in modern firm building. Manish's blend of operational rigor, creative risk-taking, and cultural intentionality offers a fresh, actionable blueprint for success in a rapidly changing industry.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

This TIMELESS turns everything on it's head. What if the most educated amongst us are the most disconnected? Here we lovingly dismantle factory schooling, recall village intelligence, and discuss a practical path into gift culture. Manish Jain (co-founder of the UnSchooling movement) who walked out of Wall Street and Harvard, invites us to trade credentials for conscience, exams for experience, and scarcity for an experiment in trust. We discuss education as being, not just knowing, starting with head, heart, hands, home. Manish speaks on gift culture, giving us the advice that when scarcity knocks, we up the gift, and ritualize generosity so trust compounds. We invite you to bring home some of the ideas discussed in the episode such as running a treasure hunt by visiting 10 local people or places of skill, elders, makers, growers, repairers, musicians. Another idea is to host a Darya Dil exchange, where each person gifts a personally meaningful item with its story, and the receiver promises to pass it on within 3 months. And finally, we invite you to replace "resume" with a one page portfolio of lived projects, and publish it publicly. We also recommend that you listen to the full Episode 39 here. And please do a treasure hunt where you are this week, you will be amazed by what you find!

“ A luxury brand has to have that caring side of it. Caring for the environment, caring for all stakeholders, caring for the community. Without it, you are not a complete hotel.”
Is EQ more important than IQ when it comes to hospitality?Today, Manish Puri, General Manager of the Regent Hotels and Resorts Bali, joins Dan to dive into key topics in the industry, such as sustainability, community, and leadership.

The conversation also covers the challenges of opening and managing new hotels and the impact of leadership and open-heartedness in inspiring younger generations in the hospitality industry.Takeaways: Embrace regenerative practices by viewing waste as an opportunity to create value, turning sustainability efforts into investments rather than costs.Lead by example and integrity.

We talk a lot about AI as if it can fix broken systems. But what happens when the underlying data is too messy, too slow, or too disconnected to support anything useful? That's the problem Manish Sood, founder and CTO of Reltio, has spent the last decade working to solve. Reltio is not your average data company. It sits behind some of the world's most recognisable brands, helping names like L'Oréal, Pfizer, HP, and CarMax modernise how they manage and activate data across the business. What they all share is a recognition that outdated systems and disconnected records don't just slow down insights. They actively block innovation. Manish breaks this down with uncommon clarity. He calls it “data debt”—the invisible burden of stale, incomplete, or fragmented information that quietly kills speed and adds risk. It's not just a technical problem. It's a leadership challenge, especially as businesses adopt generative AI tools that rely on clean, contextual data to function reliably. We explore how real-time intelligence is changing the way companies operate across customer experience, fraud detection, and supply chain resilience. Manish shares examples from enterprise clients who have moved from legacy systems to unified platforms, and how that shift enabled smarter decision-making at scale. From personalised retail offers to proactive healthcare outreach, the stories point to one common truth: if the data isn't trusted, the AI cannot be either. There's also a new role emerging inside many companies—the data steward as AI enabler. These are the people ensuring that data isn't just stored, but shaped. Human-guided, explainable, traceable. That clarity is key to responsible AI, especially in sectors where compliance and reputation are tightly linked. Manish also explains how Reltio's platform helps businesses protect against AI vulnerabilities by enabling resilient data pipelines, consistent governance, and real-time monitoring. In a world where data is created and used simultaneously, batch syncing is not enough. Real-time pipelines give companies the confidence to experiment with AI without falling into chaos. If your business is chasing innovation without cleaning up its data layer first, this conversation is a wake-up call. Manish shows that the future of AI isn't about who builds the best model. It's about who feeds it the best foundation. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

They thought their bargain sea-view flat in Mumbai was a dream—until Rochelle began wandering the terrace at 1 a.m. with a frozen grin, growling in Urdu, and stalking their four-year-old. When she tried to hang herself with a bedsheet, he desperately called paranormal fixer Manish. Manish learns the previous tenant died the same way, and the vengeful spirit now rides Rochelle, strongest at the witching hour. A fierce midnight duel of mantra versus demon frees her—but the flat still sits empty, its lights dark, waiting for the next family to cross the threshold.
