Our ability to navigate the AI revolution hinges on our commitment to conscious integration and the preservation of genuine human connection. The democratization of knowledge through AI technologies can empower individuals globally, enabling them to access wisdom and insights previously out of reach.

This week, Nigel sits down with Fahim Motahar, an Animator on the Cbeebies show Nikhil & Jay, to discuss his journey from studying journalism to finding his passion in animation - a path that led him to one of the most ground-breaking preschool shows in recent times. We hear how his early love for '90s cartoons and supportive parents, who exposed him to various creative activities across cultures, inspired him to pursue animation as a career. This experience prepared him to join a team of over 30 animators in creating the show's initial 52-episode run. This episode is great for anyone wanting to learn more about the animation process and what it's really like working on a new show for a major distributor. We also get to dive into anime influences along the way!Connect with Fahim online:- Website: https://fahimation-art.webflow.io- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fahimation_art

With thousands of tracks being released every week, it's become increasingly hard for even established acts to score a chart-topping hit. It's even harder for relatively new artists to make it all the way to No1. There are always exceptions, such as “Finding Her” by upcoming singer/songwriter Kushagra. On this week's episode, we speak to Nikhil Dwivedi, the founder of EYP Creations—the label and management company behind the smash—to find out what it takes. As always, we look at the key movements on the Spotify Weekly Top Songs India chart, this time for the survey published on May 16, 2025.

As someone from Bangalore, I've been a bit bothered by how much flak we get, especially about traffic.

Forest Lost: Producing Green Capitalism in the Brazilian Amazon (2024) is an ethnography of forest carbon offsets and the wider effort to make the living rainforest valuable in the Brazilian Amazon. Situated in the state of Acre, which continuously had to grapple with a complex positionality between frontier and periphery, Maron E. Greenleaf explores forest carbon offset to understand green capitalism. Commodifying forest carbon offset requires keeping carbon in place through forest protection and valuation, unlike other forest commodities – for example Açaí berries, which also feature in the ethnography – that involve extraction. Initially set out to do a supply chain analysis, Greenleaf instead wrote a well-thought-out account disentangling the relationships at play in a place which at the time was celebrated for being ‘a leader in forest- focused development', through tracing the complexity of the uneven, contingent and contesting cultural, material and multispecies relations involved in making forest carbon valuable. At the same time, she illustrates how forest carbon's commodification turned it into a source of redistributable public environmental wealth and how green capitalism can also reinforce just the marginalization it seeks to combat. By outlining these complex relations and tensions, Greenleaf elucidates broader efforts to create a capitalism suited to the Anthropocene and those efforts' alluring promises and vexing failures.

Greenleaf is a cultural anthropologist, political ecologist and legal scholar and currently Assistant Professor at the Anthropology Department at Dartmouth.

India has long been a tea-drinking nation, but in recent years, a new wave of craft beverage brands has started reshaping the way the country drinks. Specialty coffee, kombucha, and premium mixers are carving out space in an industry dominated by mass-produced options. While the demand for high-quality, homegrown beverages is growing, breaking into this space isn't as easy as it looks. Import duties drive up costs, fragmented supply chains make scaling difficult, and price-sensitive consumers often hesitate to pay a premium. Unlike mass-market beverages, where marketing muscle can drive sales, craft brands have to build awareness, educate consumers, and create demand from scratch. In episode #22 of “WTF Is” Podcast, Nikhil Kamath sits down with some of the biggest names in India's craft beverage industry—Rahul Reddy (Subko), Matt Chitharanjan (Blue Tokai), Aneesh Bhasin (Svami), and Adithya Kidambi (Mossant). They share their journey of navigating regulations, shifting consumer habits, and competing with legacy brands to bring high-quality, locally made beverages to the mainstream.

How far are we willing to go to live longer or perhaps "forever"? #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha and Gruhas Host of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' Podcast Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #NithinKamath - Founder, CEO Zerodha, RainmatterInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nithinkamath/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nithin.kamath/Twitter - https://x.com/Nithin0dhaLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nithin-kamath #BryanJohnson - Founder & CEO of BlueprintInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bryanjohnson_/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089952947799Twitter - https://x.com/bryan_johnsonLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanrjohnson/ #PrashanthPrakash - Founding Partner of Accel India, Founder BioPeak & Longevity India Twitter - https://x.com/prashanthpLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakashprashanth #JitendraChouksey - Founder, FITTR Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fittrwithjc/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jitendra.chouksey.7/ Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitendrachouksey/ Special Appearance - #SeemaKamath, Director at Zerodha 00:00 - Introduction 00:56 - Air Quality & Blue Zones 5:39 - Bryan's Lifestyle 09:20 - Roundtable Introductions 12:14 - Future of Medical Innovations 16:25 - Understanding Bio Transformations, Enzymatic Reactions 19:03 - Bryan's Early Days 27:20 - Bryan's journey into understanding Longevity 32:18 - Understanding Health Supplements 43:10 - Thought experiment 1: the algorithm 46:13 - Thought experiment 2: the 25th century 54:30 - Thought experiment 3: enabling an intelligence 1:03:00 - WTF is ‘Don't Die'? 1:20:28 - Testing & Supplementation 1:26:50 - Business Opps in Testing & Supplementation 1:35:17 - 10 years from now, what's Bryan's goal? 1:38:37 - Food Break! 1:39:35 - Air Quality Index (AQI) - Massive Opportunities 1:46:05 - Lifestyle Management Opps | Fittr 1:50:00 - Consumer Diagnostics Opps | BioPeak 1:59:16 - Building India Focused Datasets 2:13:33 - Influencers in the Longevity space 2:20:53 - Cancer Recurrence Detection 2:34:12 - Health Gadgets 2:39:40 - Longevity Supplements Opps & Growth Hormones 3:06:55 - Regenerative Medicine 3:10:30 - Where's the next big opportunity? 3:15:13 - Bonus Round: Women's Reproductive Health 3:21:28 - If men live forever and women can't give birth beyond 35 - Where's the future? #WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF

"Motivation starts with identity—when you believe in the story you're telling yourself, the actions follow." - Nikhil PaulIs it possible to lead with passion and effectiveness if you no longer feel connected to the business you're running? In this engaging conversation, I have with leadership coach Nikhil Paul, he dives deep into the heart of leadership, self-reflection, and sustainable business practices. Nikhil emphasizes the importance of personal connection to the work and the culture, asking leaders to reflect on their commitment to their businesses. He also sheds light on how companies, especially startups, often overlook the foundational cracks that could undermine their success in the long term. Drawing on his expertise, Nikhil offers a framework to help leaders assess their organizations' true sustainability and overall health.Nikhil also shares his 5 Pillars of Motivation—a guide to scaling a business without losing its soul.

How defensible is your business? Nikhil challenges leaders to think about their company's stability and operational health in their absence.Growth versus foundational strength: Why simply scaling the business without addressing the root issues can eventually lead to problems down the line.
