In this episode, we're joined by Nikhil Suresh to explore why AI won't fix a company that lacks the systemic capability to ship software. We dig into corporate automation myths, proof-of-concept dopamine loops, foundational data engineering, the LLM hallucination problem, and why organizational feedback loops matter more than ever. Nikhil shares practical examples of analyzing ambulance records, managing cloud data infrastructure, and attempting to use language models for client communication, while Murray and Donna challenge the hype around AI automating entire corporate workflows and replacing engineering teams. Join us for a grounded and direct discussion about why real product delivery requires structural competence rather than chasing a magical tech bubble. see https://www.linkedin.com/in/nik-suresh/ https://hermit-tech.com/ https://ludic.mataroa.blog/hits/

We kick off season 3 with a conversation about what makes the Codex Desktop app compelling as an AI workspace. Nikhil and Piyush break down the idea of an AI harness, why heartbeat automations matter, how shared browser context changes the feedback loop, and why moving beyond terminal-first workflows makes AI feel more usable for everyday work. The episode also explores how Codex is shifting from a developer-focused tool toward a broader end-user productivity platform, and why trust, identity, and safety become more important as AI agents get more capable and more persistent.= ⏰ CHAPTERS =00:10: Introduction: Season 3 Kickoff01:23: How We Both Became Codex Converts08:23: What Is an AI Harness?12:36: Codex as Your Second Brain17:28: Heartbeat Automations Explained22:08: Why I Switched from the Terminal to the Desktop App35:40: Security and Identity in AI Agents41:36: Levels of Autonomy: A Framework for Trusting AI=

Nick Reber, CEO and founder of Garner Health, joins Jacob and Nikhil to walk through what is arguably one of the most structurally underrated problems in American healthcare: that the single biggest driver of cost and quality variation isn't which hospital system you use or whether your plan is value-based — it's which individual doctor you see. Nick traces the intellectual journey from his time at Oscar Health, where he first encountered 4x variation in complication rates across physicians at the same brand-name institutions, to building Garner's core infrastructure: a dataset of 320 million patients used to score every doctor in the country on quality-adjusted outcomes, layered on top of existing employer health plans with financial incentives to steer patients toward top performers. The episode drops alongside the announcement of Garner's Series E with Index Ventures, valuing the company at approximately $2.7 billion. The conversation covers the technical depth required to actually measure physician quality fairly (and why existing methodologies are fundamentally flawed), why value-based care has largely failed and what actually moves patient behavior, how AI will reshape the front door of healthcare, what it will take for AI health companies to build durable businesses beyond 2030, and why the solution to the US healthcare cost crisis may be as simple — and as politically hard — as treating it like a corporate expense policy.   (0:00) Intro (0:30) Garner's Origin Story (2:05) Doctor Choice Is the Biggest Lever (3:45) How Garner Works (5:43) Why Old Scoring Methods Failed (7:39) The Knee Pain Problem (11:58) Consumer UX, Incentives, and AI (33:44) How Much Spend Can AI Actually Touch?

INTERVIEW: Ben & Nikhil on Dunedin Youth Orchestra concert Sat 23rd May by Emma Gentry on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Air New Zealand's woes are expected to last for as long as the war in Iran continues. The national carrier's revealed its looking at staff redundancies and more flight reductions due to the surging cost of jet fuel. It's now forecasting a full-year pre-tax loss of up to $390 million. Nikhil Ravishankar told Mike Hosking run rates won't get worse, but fluctuating jet fuel prices will keep weighing on the airline's financial results. He says fuel dropping from $200 to $150 is helpful, but it's not down enough considering normal prices are around $85. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Air New Zealand's CEO says the airline will trim more flights, with a forecast it'll be $390 million in the red this financial year. It's blaming the fuel cost hike lifting spending $240 million more than expected. The airline told NZX it's already reduced overall capacity three to five percent since the Iran war began. Nikhil Ravishankar says cuts may continue even after jet fuel prices ease, with cuts for August to October announced soon. "We either sort of roll over the changes that we've made into July - or we might have to go a bit further, depending on what fuel's doing."

In this episode we bring together two returning guests who've never met — Nikhil Kale, founder of Asraya and creator of ACE, and Nathaniel Solace, filmmaker, transformational coach, and builder at the frontier of conscious AI — for a fierce conversation built to dismantle the technological black pill at the heart of the truth-and-freedom space. We go deep on agentic AI as amplifier rather than replacement, the collapse of distance between vision and creation, the spiritual function of this technology arriving at this exact evolutionary moment, and why your self-knowledge and coherence become more valuable — not less — as the tools get more powerful.

A fuel squeeze is driving higher airfares and stronger demand for Air New Zealand, particularly on international routes. Long-haul fares have jumped 25% over the past year, trans-Tasman 20%, and domestic flights 10%. Jet fuel stocks have climbed to 51.4 days, according to the latest figures. Chief Executive Nikhil Ravishankar told Mike Hosking long-haul is 'a double-edged sword' – costly in fuel but buoyed by rising demand, with New Zealand being one of the safer passages available. He says that's why they're being careful about how much long haul flying they consolidate. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nikhil Raval is the author of the new book 'Generational Fusion: Unlock the Power of Generational Diversity in the Workplace', which explores how today's leaders can build stronger, more inclusive teams across five generations - from Boomers to Gen Z - and prepare for the rise of Gen Alpha.  With over two decades of global experience in leadership consulting, including his time as Managing Director and Board Member at Duke CE India, Nikhil brings practical insights on how to: ✅ Bridge generational gaps through better communication and collaboration ✅ Turn age diversity into a strategic advantage for innovation and performance ✅ Lead with empathy, inclusion, and purpose in the future of work Duration: 24:48Connect with Nikhil:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nikhilravalEmail: nikhil@learnwisely.inConnect with The Executive Mindset:Website: www.theexecutivemindset.co.ukEmail: theexecutivemindset@sagegreen.comFollow us:LinkedIn: @TheExecutive MindsetFacebook: @ExecutiveMindsetCoachingTwitter: @TheExecMind

The conversation begins with a close look at India's data protection regime, particularly the DPDP Act and its emphasis on consent. Nikhil challenges the perception that the law is overly consent-driven, pointing to a range of exemptions and alternative legal bases for processing data. At the same time, he highlights gaps in enforcement and deterrence, arguing that the current framework may struggle to address large-scale misuse of data or systemic harms. On AI governance, Nikhil makes a case that India does not need a sweeping, EU-style AI law, at least not yet. Given India's legislative pace, enforcement gaps, and how fast AI is evolving, he thinks strengthening existing laws and making targeted amendments is a far more practical path. He does, however, flag artificial intimacy as something that deserves serious attention soon. AI-powered companionship is supercharging the loneliness economy, building emotional dependency at scale, and raising risks that no existing framework is really built to handle. Closer to home, Nikhil offers a window into how AI is changing legal practice at Trilegal, where 75% of lawyers now use AI in their daily workflows. The firm is simultaneously building AI products, using them internally, and advising clients on AI risk, a position Nikhil sees as an advantage rather than a conflict. For him, the era of lawyers who write code and speak directly with engineers is not something to fear but a long overdue shift in what it means to practice technology law.

Unprecedented jet fuel prices are set to cause extensive Air New Zealand flight cancellations, affecting tens of thousands of people. The airline expects to consolidate 1,100 flights over the next six to eight weeks – impacting about 44 thousand passengers. It expects to start notifying affected customers from today. Chief Executive Nikhil Ravishankar told Mike Hosking at this stage, they're planning to cut frequencies, rather than entire routes. He says they're in daily —if not hourly— contact with their fuel suppliers and working with the Government on a coordinated response. They've already had to raise fares to help cover the rising costs, but Ravishankar told Hosking every airline is dealing with similar issues. He says the airlines have the same or similar playbook for dealing with fuel price shocks like this. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Air New Zealand is fighting with one hand tied behind its back facing local costs its international competitors avoid. The national airline's announced a $40 million half-year loss. The new Chief Executive says airlines are a cyclical business, and New Zealand is disproportionately exposed to local inflation. Nikhil Ravishankar told Mike Hosking some of the other airlines making more money are the ones that have recently gone through a downturn. He says it's partly nature of the business, but there are also things we're exposed to locally that some of our competitors aren't. They've also been struggling with aircraft being grounded due to global engine issues, a slower than expected recovery, and rising costs. Ravishankar told Hosking he took on a business grappling with a post-Covid rebuild. He says up until now, they've been playing not to lose, but now they're building a business that can play to win.

Air New Zealand's assuring it's on track for economic stability. The national airline's announced a first-half before-tax loss of $59 million. CEO Nikhil Ravishankar says the result's driven by challenges from aircraft being grounded, a softer recovery than expected - and rising costs. But he says they'll be well on the road to recovery over the next two to three years. "One of the key reasons I say that so confidently is for the first time in six years, we've got new aircraft coming back into the fleet and we're solving engine issues."

Introduction “AI in insurance” has become shorthand for chatbots and generic automation. This episode focuses on a more operational question: what would it take for AI to behave like a dependable CSR inside a real agency workflow — completing service work end-to-end, without eroding trust or the customer experience? Guest Bio Nikhil Kansal is the Co‑Founder & CTO of Cara, a domain‑specific AI platform built for insurance to automate servicing and assist with sales. Prior to Cara, Nikhil co‑founded Oyster, a digital brokerage built around customer experience and risk placement. Earlier in his career, he worked as an infrastructure engineer at Stripe, helping operate global payments at high reliability. Key Topics (with context) -Beyond “chatbots” to an AI CSR: Why the bar is task completion, not conversation quality. Delegation + trust: What changes when AI becomes a coworker you can assign work to (and verify). -System-of-record reality: How Cara is designed to sit on top of existing tools instead of forcing a rip-and-replace. -Agency workflow fit: Where service volume lives (certificates, policy changes, routine requests) and what can be automated safely. -Voice + email automation: The operational implications when AI can handle phone calls and inbox-driven work. -Cost control vs service expectations: How leaders reconcile staffing constraints with rising customer expectations. -Guardrails + change management: What “safe automation” looks like in regulated, high-trust environments. Quotes -Nikhil: “It's a coworker that you can delegate certain tasks to — and you can trust that it gets completed end‑to‑end.” -Nikhil: “Cara is not a replacement for an AMS; it's more of a coordinator on top of your system of record.” -Nikhil: “Cara can pick up the phone, speak to the customer, and understand what they're calling about.” Resources Mentioned Nikhil Kansal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikansal/ Cara: https://www.getcara.ai/ Joshua Hollander: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuarhollander/ If you lead service, ops, or growth at an agency, MGA, carrier, or insurtech: subscribe for operator-level conversations. - Follow/subscribe on YouTube - Subscribe on your podcast platform (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, etc.) - Share the episode with the colleague who owns service capacity and staffing plans

I've always felt a connection with you."Hi: निखिल थोड़ी देर चुप रहा, फिर मुस्कुराते हुए बोला, "रिया, मुझे ये जानकर अच्छा लगा। मैंने भी हमेशा सोचा था कि तुम्हारे साथ कहीं न कहीं कुछ खास है।"En: Nikhil was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Riya, I'm glad to know that. I've always thought there was something special with you."Hi: रिया का दिल खुशी से धड़क उठा।En: Riya's heart leapt with joy.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि इस विश्वास के क्षण ने उसे और अधिक आत्मविश्वास से भर दिया।En: She felt that this moment of assurance filled her with even more confidence.Hi: अब इंडिया गेट के सामने खड़ी रिया को लगा कि ज़िंदगी उसके सामने नई उमंगें लेकर खड़ी है।En: Now standing in front of India Gate, Riya felt that life was standing before her with new hopes.Hi: वसंत पंचमी के इस मौके पर, पुराने दोस्तों के बीच उसकी यह छोटी-सी जीत, उसे नए विश्वास के साथ जीवन में आगे बढ़ने का सहारा देती रही।En: On the occasion of Vasant Panchami, among old friends, this small victory gave her the support to move forward in life with new confidence.Hi: यह उदारता और समझ का प्रतीक था। जहां पुरानी यादों के साथ-साथ नए रिश्तों का भी आगाज़ हुआ।En: It was a symbol of generosity and understanding, where alongside old memories, new relationships began.Hi: इस समय रिया ने समझा कि कभी-कभी अपने दिल की बात कहना कितना जरूरी होता है, और यह हमेशा एक शुरुआत का द्वार खोलता है।En: At this moment, Riya realized that sometimes speaking your heart out is so necessary, and it always opens the door to a new beginning.

Nikhil Pal Singh joins PTO to discuss his recent article in Equator, titled Homeland Empire - in which Nikhil argues that from from Venezuela to Minnesota, Donald Trump is creating a borderless American power, collapsing the foreign and the domestic into a single domain of impunity. We talked about how the relative shift away from the preoccupation with the southern border towards the targeting of migrants across the United States is symptomatic of this collapse of the foreign and the domestic, and about how previous administrations laid the basis for the expansion of ICE. We also talked about the extent to which the second Trump administration represents a mere deepening of pre-existing trends in American state craft and the ways in which the MAGA movement is genuinely innovative. Finally, we talked about the weaknesses of the Trump administration and why Nikhil thinks it is fundamentally unable to construct a genuinely hegemonic project.

It was a real pleasure to welcome Dr. Nikhil Kalathil to the Manufacturing in the American Century podcast. Nikhil earned his PhD from Carnegie Mellon in Engineering and Public Policy, and serves as a Senior Advisor of Ecosystem Assessment to AMCC. He brings a rare combination of engineering background and policy focus to the challenge of rebuilding U.S. manufacturing capacity. His work focuses on understanding regional manufacturing ecosystems and why certain places succeed in producing priority products that are critical to economic resilience and national security.In our conversation, we dig into what makes manufacturing uniquely well-positioned for deep federal policy and ecosystem-building activities: it has measurable inputs and outputs, requires coordination across complex systems, and generates powerful spillover benefits for workers, firms, and regions. Nikhil walks through the core elements of healthy manufacturing ecosystems, including workforce, innovation, infrastructure, supply chains, trade, and capital access, and explains how agglomeration, visibility, and regional fit shape real-world outcomes.Our conversation ended with Nkhil giving a grounded but hopeful charge for the field. In a moment defined by uncertainty, the smartest path forward for regions is to make bets that reduce risk by aligning state leadership, federal support, manufacturers, suppliers, universities, and startups around clear, mission-driven goals. When regions coalesce around shared conviction and a belief in what they are building, the noise of shifting markets matters less. Technologies, policies, and signals will always change, but building tangible things that improve people's lives endures. Thanks, Nikhil, for all your work and contributions to the field!
