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.

What does it mean to teach and lead in a system that was never designed with disability in mind?In this insightful episode of Eyeway Conversations, host George Abraham speaks with Dr. Nikhil Jain, Associate Professor of Political Science at Dayal Singh College, Delhi University.Dr. Jain reflects on his journey into academia and what led him to choose teaching as a profession at a time when expectations for blind professionals were limited. From entering classrooms where students were unsure how a blind professor would teach, to building meaningful engagement through dialogue and interaction, his story challenges conventional ideas of education and authority.The conversation also explores Dr. Jain's role beyond the classroom — his work in university committees, election to the Academic Council of Delhi University, and sustained advocacy to bring disability into higher education policy as an issue of equality rather than charity. In this conversation, Dr. Nikhil Jain discusses:His journey into teaching and political scienceBuilding student engagement without relying on visual cuesEstablishing credibility within academic institutionsBringing disability into policy discussions as a question of equalityHis role in shaping inclusive exam-writing policiesAdvocating for accessible textbooks and learning resourcesMaking admissions and academic processes more inclusiveNeed guidance on living independently with blindness?

In this conversation, Nikhil Nagaraj, co-founder of Struck, shares his journey from studying electronics engineering in India to building an AI-driven platform for construction compliance. He discusses the challenges of the construction industry, particularly the housing crisis, and how Struck aims to simplify compliance processes using AI. Nikhil elaborates on the product's features, including its ability to provide real-time compliance checks and generate reports, while also offering insights into navigating the AEC industry for those without a background in it.   Takeaways   Nikhil's journey into AI began during his undergraduate studies in electronics engineering. The launch of Struck was driven by a desire to address the housing crisis and improve construction compliance. Compliance in construction is often treated as an afterthought, leading to inefficiencies. Struck aims to simplify compliance processes using AI, making regulations more accessible. The product has evolved to include features like zoning laws and permit-free building checks. Prioritization in product development is crucial, focusing on compliance-related features. The AEC industry is fragmented, requiring tailored solutions for different regions. Collaboration with industry experts is essential for building effective solutions. Good software engineering practices are vital for successful AI implementation. Building in the AEC space can be challenging but rewarding, with many willing to help.    Chapters   00:00 Nikhil Nagaraj's Journey into AI and Construction 07:27 The Challenges of Prioritization in Tech Development 09:25 Overcoming Technical Challenges in AI 17:06 Exploring Struck's Product and Its Functionality 24:36 Navigating Building Regulations and Workflows 27:20 Creating a Frictionless User Experience 29:42 Leveraging AI and Data Sources 32:33 Bridging B2B and B2G in Construction Compliance 36:00 Advice for Non-AEC Professionals 39:45 Final Thoughts on Building in AEC  

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.

About Nikhil Buduma:Nikhil Buduma is a San Francisco–based entrepreneur, scientist, and engineer working at the cutting edge of AI and healthcare. He is the co-founder and CEO of Ambience Healthcare, an AI platform built to supercharge every healthcare worker with intelligent automation. Under his leadership, Ambience has grown into one of the most well-funded AI healthcare startups in the world, raising over $343 million from top investors, including a16z, OpenAI, Kleiner Perkins, Oak HC/FT, Optum Ventures, and industry pioneers such as Jeff Dean and Pieter Abbeel. Before becoming CEO, Nikhil served as Ambience's Chief Scientist, leading the development of its core AI systems that streamline documentation, coding, and clinical workflows for healthcare systems, including the Cleveland Clinic and St. Luke's.Prior to Ambience, Nikhil co-founded Remedy Health, where he applied machine learning to advance value-based care models, backed by Khosla Ventures and Greylock. He also co-founded Lean On Me, a nonprofit organization that supports mental health and wellness across U.S. college campuses through anonymous peer-to-peer text support networks at institutions such as MIT, Duke, and UC Berkeley.A graduate and valedictorian of Bellarmine College Preparatory, Nikhil earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science and engineering from MIT. His career reflects a rare blend of technical mastery, compassion, and vision—using AI not to replace clinicians, but to restore the human joy in the practice of medicine.Things You'll Learn:Health systems often see low real-world usage of ambient tools; when daily adoption crosses most clinicians and visits, the ROI conversation becomes meaningful. This requires solving fundamentals across specialties, not just shipping features.If AI generates notes that don't align with payer rules and codes, organizations incur rework and risk. Integrating HCC, ICD-10, and CPT selection, along with supporting language, at the point of care helps prevent denials.Revenue integrity upside: Bringing CDI intelligence forward can reclaim large sums from work already done but not credited. This strengthens both financial sustainability and compliance posture.Continuous third-party auditing and domain-specific modeling are essential because general reasoning models often struggle with the nuances of revenue cycles. Independent validation builds organizational trust.Patient Summary anticipates questions and data needs before the visit, while Chart Chat answers complex, EHR-aware queries in seconds, helping to democratize top-tier standards of care in rural settings.Resources:Connect with and follow Nikhil Buduma on LinkedIn.Follow Ambience Healthcare on LinkedIn and visit their website.

Nikhil Gupta, founder and CTO of Vapi, joins Amir to talk about how voice AI is reshaping the way we connect with businesses. From customer support to healthcare, Nikhil explains how voice agents can bring back the human side of digital interactions. This is a look at where real conversation meets real technology and what happens when machines start to understand us like people do.Key Takeaways• Voice AI creates genuine, human-like engagement instead of the usual scripted support.• The next wave of AI will personalize relationships at scale while protecting privacy.• Full duplex voice models will make conversations flow naturally and feel real.• Businesses will use voice agents to understand customers, not just respond to them.• Our phones and screens may evolve as voice becomes the primary interface.Timestamped Highlights01:08 — What Vapi does and how it reached 400,000 developers02:15 — Why voice AI is one of the few areas showing clear ROI06:09 — How AI can make customer relationships human again11:18 — Building trust and privacy into voice-based systems16:48 — Blending text, voice, and context into a single experience19:05 — Rethinking our devices as voice replaces the screenA moment that stands out“Every person should feel like they can just text their hospital, and it knows exactly who they are, what they need, and when to help.” — Nikhil GuptaPro TipStart small.

Air New Zealand says it's committed to maintaining regional connections, despite the Government turning down its offer. CEO Nikhil Ravishankar last week pitched a temporary subsidy for lesser used domestic flights, saying it might be necessary to keep them operational. But Prime Minister Chris Luxon says a subsidy isn't the answer, and Air New Zealand should shift its focus. Ravishankar says it still isn't planning to leave the regions. "We know that it is a lot more than a commercial decision, it's a lifeline service at times. And we will do everything we can and everything we should be doing to ensure that connectivity remains."

Call it CMO+.  The challenge is figuring out what your “plus” will be and how to put it into practice. To help you understand what CMO+ looks like in action, Nikhil Chawla (Resilience), Isabelle Papoulias (EliteOps), and Ali McCarthy (Amplify Your Voice Studio) share their own pluses, how they discovered them, and what changed when they leaned in. Each story is different, but the theme is the same: Credibility grows when CMOs contribute in ways that extend beyond marketing. In this episode:  Nikhil on adding customer voice as his plus, linking post-sale and product, and feeding live feedback into roadmap and revenue calls.  Isabelle on bringing operations into marketing, using V2MOM to align goals, resources, and execution across sales, enablement, finance, and ops.  Ali on leading with emotional intelligence, coaching leaders to read the room, ease friction, and keep teams focused on the customer journey.  Plus:  How to spot the plus that fits both your strengths and your company's needs  Why credibility comes from saying yes to the right opportunities  The link between curiosity, influence, and long-term career resilience  How CMOs expand their impact without burning out If you're ready to grow your role beyond marketing, this one's for you!  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Today we're celebrating our 5th birthday — five years, 260 episodes, countless destinations, and some of the most inspiring voices in travel. When I started this show back in 2020, I never could have imagined the incredible community that would form around it, or how many of you would join me each week to dream, to learn, and to reflect on the meaning of travel. So to mark this milestone, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of a hotelier, a guide, or a travel CEO, I invited three of our most dedicated listeners — Max, Torey, and Nikhil — to join me. Each of them brings their own stories: from safari sunsets and personalized luxury touches, to family adventures and how travel has shaped their careers and worldviews. In today's episode, we'll swap favorite destinations, share insider hotel moments, reflect on lessons travel has taught us about life, and even dive into some Luxury Travel Insider trivia.  Above all, this episode is a celebration of you — the listeners — and of the idea that travel, when done with intention, connects us more deeply to ourselves, to each other, and to humanity. So grab a glass of champagne, settle in, and let's celebrate five incredible years of Luxury Travel Insider.   Looking to book a luxury hotel?

He is an evolutionary anthropologist interested in applying evolutionary theory to explain diversity in behavior and cognition across the entire spectrum of human societies. Currently, he is particularly focused on developing the field of evolutionary psychiatry. He is thinking about how evolutionary perspectives can advance our understanding of the etiology of mental illness. In this episode, we talk about topics in evolutionary anthropology. We first delve into the evolution of human cooperation and relational wealth. We then talk about social learning processes and cumulative culture. We discuss cooperative and communal breeding systems. Finally, we talk about evolutionary psychiatry and evolutionary mismatch.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In today's episode, I sit down with Nikhil Agharkar, a seasoned attorney and fiduciary advisor, to talk about building lasting wealth and avoiding common financial pitfalls. We discuss why breaking free from traditional career molds can open the door to entrepreneurship, how taxes quietly drain the wealth of high-earning employees, and why business owners and investors often come out ahead. Nikhil shares practical strategies for protecting assets, maximizing tax advantages, and leveraging real estate for generational wealth. We also unpack the emotional toll of financial loss and the importance of setting systems that prioritize your financial security from day one.
