In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers sits down with Nikhil Kansal, Co-founder and CTO of Cara, to discuss how Florida Risk Partners is using AI to eliminate administrative friction, improve the client experience, and create more capacity for producers to focus on revenue-generating activities. David walks through the actual workflows FRP has built around Cara, HubSpot, its phone system, raters, quote comparisons, proposals, and automated follow-up. Rather than discussing AI theoretically, the conversation focuses on what is happening inside the agency today, including 24/7 inbound lead capture, automated underwriting data collection, CRM creation, faster quoting, proposal generation, coverage comparisons, and follow-up sequences. The discussion also explores how these efficiencies can change the economics of small commercial insurance. By removing unnecessary human labor from repetitive tasks, FRP has been able to profitably handle accounts that previously would not have justified the producer's time while preserving human interaction for conversations where expertise actually matters. For middle-market producers, the larger lesson is about capacity. AI shouldn't replace the producer. It should eliminate the low-value work surrounding the producer so more time can be spent prospecting, advising clients, analyzing risk, building relationships, and closing larger accounts.

In Legal Weapons of the Wealthy: The Offshoring of Elite Conflict in Emerging Markets (Cornell University Press, 2026), Dr. Nikhil Kalyanpur examines a striking feature of today's global legal order: the use of foreign courts by elites to settle domestic disputes. On the surface, the "outsourcing" of disputes by elites from countries with fragile judiciaries looks like a search for fair treatment unavailable at home. Yet extraterritorial dispute resolution varies across such countries. Russian plutocrats, for instance, frequently litigate abroad, whereas Chinese and South African ones rarely do. Dr. Kalyanpur argues that the pursuit of extraterritorial litigation depends on the balance of power between a state and its plutocracy. In contexts of state capture or state control, the transparency costs associated with transnational law deter plutocrats from seeking resolution abroad. But when the state and the plutocracy have relatively equal power, competing interests can lead to political clashes, with different actors asserting themselves. "Losers" of these clashes, locked out of their institutions, now have less to lose from those transparency costs and so seek resolution abroad. As these elites often escape with much of their wealth abroad, "winners" respond by weaponizing transnational legal institutions to seize rivals' offshore assets and ensure defeated rivals stay defeated. Through cases from Russia and elsewhere, Dr. Kalyanpur unravels the connections between offshore finance, transnational litigation, and intra-elite warfare. He exposes how liberal courts serve as arenas for emerging market power struggles, globalizing conflicts begun at home. As billionaires continue amassing unprecedented power across democracies and autocracies alike, Legal Weapons of the Wealthy lays out how the architects of the liberal economic order defeated themselves by enabling rule by the rich. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

AI is supposed to make businesses more productive. But what happens when AI itself becomes one of the biggest expenses?In this episode of ThinkData, Alex Hutchings is joined by Nikhil Mungil, Head of AI R&D at Cribl, to explore the growing challenge of AI sprawl, the true cost of enterprise AI adoption, and how businesses should think about AI investment as usage continues to accelerate.Nikhil explains why the next phase of enterprise AI isn't simply about buying more tools or accessing better models. The real competitive advantage could come from how businesses harness that intelligence, integrate it into their own workflows, and measure whether it is actually creating value.They discuss why AI budgets may eventually need to be managed more like payroll, with different teams receiving different levels of AI resource depending on their workloads and the value they generate. Nikhil argues that trying to measure AI ROI across an entire organisation can be misleading — the real measurement needs to happen much closer to individual teams, tasks and workflows.Alex and Nikhil also explore how AI is already changing the structure of technical teams, with smaller groups increasingly supported by AI agents, copilots and AI-assisted development tools.In this episodeWhat AI sprawl means for enterprise technology teamsWhy organisations are struggling to measure AI ROIHow businesses should think about AI token budgetsWhy AI spending could eventually be managed more like payrollThe shift from standardised software towards intent-driven workflowsWhy enterprises may need to own more of their AI “harness”AI tools vs underlying intelligenceHow smaller teams can achieve more with AI agents and copilotsWhy AI investment needs to balance experimentation with measurable returnsWhat CEOs should consider before investing millions into AIOne of Nikhil's central arguments is that businesses should “own as much of the harness as possible” — maintaining control over the workflows, evaluation and business logic surrounding AI, while retaining the flexibility to change underlying intelligence providers.About Nikhil MungilNikhil Mungil is Head of AI R&D at Cribl. His background spans companies including Substack, Splunk and ThoughtWorks, with much of his career focused on observability, security and large-scale machine data.At Cribl, Nikhil established its AI research and development organisation across engineering and product, working on models for telemetry data alongside agentic products designed to help users turn huge volumes of machine data into useful insights.About ThinkDataThinkData brings together founders, executives and technology leaders shaping the future of data and AI.Hosted by Alex Hutchings and brought to you by Dataworks, the podcast explores what it really takes to build, launch, and scale companies at the forefront of artificial intelligence and data.About DataworksDataworks helps Seed–Series B AI companies across the US and Europe build GTM, engineering, and data teams.Visit Dataworks

What if the most rewarding day of your dental career wasn't in your own practice - but in a community hundreds of kilometres away, where simply showing up could change someone's life?Welcome back to Talk Dental to Me - the podcast for dental professionals who want more than just the clinical stuff. This is the podcast where we explore the people, stories, and ideas shaping the future of dentistry.On this podcast, I'm joined by Dr Kian, Dr Nikhil, and Dr Raoul for a conversation that shines a light on a side of dentistry that many of us don't get to see.Together, they've volunteered their time and skills to provide dental care in remote communities, working with patients who often have limited access to oral healthcare. IWe'll also talk about the challenges, the rewards, the importance of cultural awareness, and how volunteering has shaped not only their clinical skills, but also their perspectives on healthcare, service, and the role we can all play in improving access to care.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to volunteer in remote communities- or perhaps you've considered doing it yourself - this episode is full of honest insights, practical advice, and stories that I know will stay with you long after you've finished listening.

It's padel week. 135 shows in, and the most requested sport gets its day. There couldn't be a better person to take us through the world of a sport that has exploded in popularity over the last 10 years than Nikhil Mohindra. A Team GB professional who is also building a padel centre, running a foundation to bring padel to those who haven't or can't access it, creating content on his YouTube channel, and playing with the world's top athletes (Cristiano Ronaldo included), this is proper access to a world we haven't explored. I know we say behind the scenes a lot, but this really is behind the scenes. Question I'm most intrigued by is whether the demand for padel at a participation level can create the same interest at the elite.

A 2026 Wolters Kluwer report reveals that a striking 83% of APAC CFOs see AI adoption as a key force reshaping finance, while 72% believe its impact will be significant within three years. As understanding of what AI do for finance teams, we are starting to see the adoption narrative move from a discretionary "innovation project" to a necessary part of the governance and controls framework—a language CFOs and compliance officers understand intimately. To be clear, anxieties about moving fast (in the adoption journey) remain persistent as is maintaining trust, a theme echoed in the Deloitte survey which found CFOs reinforcing fundamentals and cost discipline even as they invest in AI.In this PodChats for FutureCFO, Nikhil Parambath, Regional Vice President for Asia at BlackLine, offers some insight into how CFOs and the finance leadership can finetune their adoption strategies as AI moves from a nice to have to a compliance imperative.Nikhil, welcome back to PodChats for FutureCFO.1.       Across Asia, CFOs are being asked to close faster and support real-time decisions, yet many close processes remain stitched together with spreadsheets and manual workarounds. Where are finance teams in the region still most vulnerable to this "spreadsheet dependence," and what specific risks does this create for a CFO's ability to 'trust the numbers' in a volatile environment? 2.       BlackLine uses the term "self-driving close." In business terms, what does this operating model look like in practice, and what are the biggest misconceptions finance leaders in Southeast and Northeast Asia have about it? 3.       As agentic AI evolves from copilots to autonomous actors, which specific close activities—such as reconciliations, journal entries, intercompany matching, and variance analysis—are the safest and most impactful to automate first, giving finance teams the fastest return on confidence and efficiency? 4.       Agentic AI is only as good as the data it operates on. Before a CFO can confidently let parts of the close run on "autopilot," what critical data, process, and control foundations need to be in place to ensure governance, security, and an auditable chain of trust? Foundational readiness5.       Controllable autonomy As the system starts handling the "heavy lifting" of routine tasks, the finance professional's role is shifting from processor to validator and strategist. How do you see the role and skillset of finance teams evolving over the next 2-3 years, and how should CFOs prepare their people for this transition to an advisory role? 6.       In a region marked by rapid digitalization yet persistent skills gaps, what are the key implementation challenges for CFOs in places like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan who are trying to scale AI-led finance? 7.       As AI agents become more autonomous, questions of accountability arise. How can CFOs adapt their internal controls and compliance frameworks to effectively "govern" AI, ensuring the autonomous close meets regulatory standards? 8.       Finally, how does achieving a "self-driving close" free the CFO's office to focus on what matters most—such as strategic analysis, partnering with the business, and steering the organization through volatility?

Well he's back at it with another great piece analysing the AI mania that has seemingly possessed every manager in every institution in every sector. We chat about where this mania comes from, how it's manifesting, and what happens when reality eventually catches up to these delusions. ••• Nik's company website: https://hermit-tech.com/ ••• AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/ ••• I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/ ••• Lawsuit Claims the Mayo Clinic's Use of AI Is Butchering Patient Care https://futurism.com/health-medicine/lawsuit-mayo-clinic-ai-tools-hospital-maya Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

In this episode of We Booked It, Rose and Nichols talk with special guest Nikhil Prabala, talking all things The Duchess of Kokora, Steel Empress, and asking all our burning questions!

Today's episode in the history of bad ideas is about one of the central ideas in modern philosophy: utilitarianism, or the view that what matters is the greatest happiness of the greatest number. David talks to philosopher Nikhil Krishnan about how something that sounds so intuitively unobjectionable can produce some extremely objectionable outcomes. What is utility and how do we measure it? Does being a utilitarian actually make you happier? Whose pleasure and pain gets to count? And what happens when killing an innocent person will save many others … should we do it? Out tomorrow on PPF+: part two of this conversation in which David and Nikhil explore some of the political implications of utilitarianism from what it means for democracy to how it was used to justify colonialism.

A fresh fuel challenge for Air New Zealand. CEO Nikhil Ravishankar says he's woken up to a 4.1% overnight increase in the cost of jet fuel. He says it's due to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy claiming it has absolute control over the Strait of Hormuz. Ravishankar told Mike Hosking despite this, there'll be no disruptions to flights through October. He says the question now is what will happen after then.

Drew Edmond and Chris Uriarte chat with Nikhil Konduru, Chief Commercial Officer at Lithic, to discuss modern card issuing infrastructure and where the market is headed. They break down the issuing stack and discuss issuer-side tools to improve authorization outcomes, reduce fraud and servicing costs, and increase transparency. The conversation also covers cross-border approval and economics, and explores agentic commerce via Nikhil's "Intent Toll Booth" thesis: liability drives control, issuers may demand intent data, and regulatory and network rules may need to evolve.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Rain, Resilience, and Remedy: A Monsoon Trek in Rishikesh Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-07-08-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: रिशिकेश के हरे-भरे गांव में, जहां खेतों की लहराती हरियाली और गिरी हुई बारिश की बूंदों की ध्वनि मिलकर एक अनोखा संगीत बनाती है, वहीं निखिल और आयशा अपने मोनसून ट्रेक पर निकले थे।En: In the lush green village of Rishikesh, where the swaying greenery of the fields and the sound of fallen raindrops together create a unique music, Nikhil and Ayesha set out on their monsoon trek.Hi: आयशा को प्रकृति में बिताया हर पल प्रिय था, लेकिन उसे अपनी एलर्जी की फिक्र नहीं थी।En: Ayesha cherished every moment spent in nature, but she was unconcerned about her allergies.Hi: उस दिन बारिश तेज हो गई थी।En: That day, the rain intensified.Hi: आयशा ने अचानक जलन और सांस लेने में तकलीफ की शिकायत की।En: Ayesha suddenly complained of irritation and difficulty in breathing.Hi: निखिल, जो हमेशा ही किसी भी परेशानी में तुरंत घबरा जाता था, असहाय महसूस कर रहा था।En: Nikhil, who always panicked immediately in any trouble, felt helpless.Hi: वे गांव से कुछ ही दूर पर थे, परंतु भारी बारिश ने सड़कों को बंद कर दिया था।En: They were just a little distance from the village, but the heavy rain had blocked the roads.Hi: निखिल का मन डर से भर गया।En: Nikhil's mind was filled with fear.Hi: उसे समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि क्या करे।En: He couldn't figure out what to do.Hi: लेकिन फिर, उसने निर्णय लिया कि वह गांव के लोगों की मदद लेगा।En: But then, he decided to seek the help of the villagers.Hi: गांव के लोगों का स्थानीय ज्ञान और अनुभव कभी-कभी सबसे बड़ी मुसीबत का हल निकाल सकता था।En: The local knowledge and experience of the villagers could sometimes solve the greatest of troubles.Hi: पुरानी लकड़ी की छत के नीचे, एक बुजुर्ग महिला ने निखिल को बताया कि गांव में एक हर्बलिस्ट है जो पौधों से दवाएं बनाता है।En: Under an old wooden roof, an elderly woman informed Nikhil that there was a herbalist in the village who made medicines from plants.Hi: निखिल, आयशा को किसी तरह लेकर उस दिशा में दौड़ा।En: Nikhil somehow managed to carry Ayesha and ran in that direction.Hi: बारिश ने रास्ते को कठिन बना दिया था, पर निखिल के हौसले को नहीं।En: The rain had made the path difficult, but Nikhil's determination did not waver.Hi: हर्बलिस्ट, एक शांत दाढ़ी वाले बुजुर्ग, ने सबसे पहले आयशा की नब्ज देखी।En: The herbalist, an elderly man with a calm beard, first checked Ayesha's pulse.Hi: फिर उन्होंने कुछ जड़ी-बूटियां निकालीं और एक मजबूत गंध वाला पेस्ट बनाया।En: Then he extracted some herbs and made a pungent-smelling paste.Hi: "यह पेस्ट जल्द आराम देगा," उन्होंने कहा।En: "This paste will provide relief soon," he said.Hi: थोड़ी ही देर में, आयशा की सांस सही हो गई और जलन कम होने लगी।En: In just a short time, Ayesha's breathing became easier and the irritation started to subside.Hi: जैसे ही निखिल ने राहत की सांस ली, आसमान ने भी उनकी चिंता को कम करते हुए बारिश को हल्का कर दिया।En: As Nikhil breathed a sigh of relief, even the sky eased their worry by reducing the rain.Hi: उनकी पॉकेट में रखे छोटे मोबाइल ने नेटवर्क पकड़ लिया और उन्होंने तुरंत आपातकालीन सेवाओं को बुलाया।En: Their small mobile phone, kept in the pocket, caught a signal and they immediately called for emergency services.Hi: कुछ घंटों बाद, एम्बुलेंस गांव तक पहुंच गई।En: A few hours later, an ambulance reached the village.Hi: आयशा अब बेहतर महसूस कर रही थी।En: Ayesha was feeling better by then.Hi: निखिल ने सबको धन्यवाद कहा और आयशा को लेकर अस्पताल के लिए निकल पड़ा।En: Nikhil thanked everyone and set off for the hospital with Ayesha.Hi: इस अनुभव ने निखिल को सिखाया कि मुश्किल समय में घबराने की बजाय धैर्य और विश्वास रखना जरूरी है।En: This experience taught Nikhil that instead of panicking in difficult times, it is important to maintain patience and faith.Hi: आयशा ने भी समझा कि उसका साहसी स्वभाव उसे स्वस्थ सीमाओं के बारे में सोचने से नहीं रोक सकता।En: Ayesha also understood that her adventurous nature cannot stop her from thinking about healthy boundaries.Hi: रिश्तों की यह साझेदारी, गांव वालों की मदद से और भी गहरी हो गई।En: This partnership in their relationship deepened further with the help of the villagers.Hi: रिशिकेश के इस ग्रामीण इलाके में, बारिश ने भले ही रास्तों को मुश्किल बना दिया था, पर इसने दोस्ती और विश्वास के नए रास्ते भी खोले थे।En: In this rural area of Rishikesh, even though the rain made the paths difficult, it also opened new paths of friendship and trust.Hi: ऐतिहासिक मोड़ पर पहुंची इस कहानी में, उन्होंने प्रकृति की शक्ति के साथ-साथ मानवीय मदद की ताकत को भी मान लिया।En: At this historic turning point in their story, they acknowledged both the power of nature and the strength of human assistance.

Chris Altchek, founder and CEO of Cadence, joins Nikhil and Jacob to discuss how AI is changing the way chronic disease gets managed at scale. Cadence treats 100,000 patients a day across major health systems and has published some of the largest cost and outcomes studies in the space, including a nearly 17,000-patient analysis in Mayo Clinic Proceedings and a 24,000-patient study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The conversation covers the three phases remote patient monitoring has gone through since before COVID, why hospital-at-home has struggled to scale despite strong clinical outcomes, and how AI voice agents cut Cadence's average alert response time from 1.8 hours to 3.5 minutes. Chris also explains Cadence's "proactive titration agent" for adjusting medications in real time, an unexpected discovery that their monitoring system catches early signs of sepsis, and why he believes digital health companies have a responsibility to engage with new CMS payment models like ACCESS, even when the economics aren't ideal on day one. They close on how Cadence is rethinking hiring and internal workflows as AI changes what the job requires.

Fatherhood plays a vital role in a child's emotional, social, and psychological development. Sometimes just showing up makes your child feel safe and seen. And children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and valued by their fathers. As part of our ongoing collaboration with Mobile Creches, The Indian Express brings you a Father's Day Special episode featuring Nikhil Taneja, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuvaa, a youth media and impact organization. Nikhil works at the intersection of youth, storytelling, and mental health. He also runs a page called BeADadYaar for talking about his relationship with his beautiful 15 month old daughter. In this conversation, we will hear a father's perspective on what it means to be there for your child. We will focus on how a father's emotional availability can profoundly impact a child's emotional well-being, teaching them how to navigate feelings and build healthy relationships.Hosted and produced by Niharika NandaEdited and mixed by Suresh PawarFirst episode in association with Mobile Creches:https://indianexpress.com/audio/3-things/mobile-creches-international-day-of-play-early-childhood-development/10733781/

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."

A couple weeks ago, Michał Nedoszytko placed third globally at Anthropic's hackathon out of 13,000 participants. He was the head of cardiology at a hospital in Brussels at the time. Now he is Clinical Scientist at Abridge. On this episode of Vital Signs, Nikhil and I sat down with Abridge's CEO Shiv Rao and Michal to chat about how the hire came together, what changed with Opus 4.6 that let a cardiologist ship a working MVP in 40 minutes, and where they both think clinical AI goes next.   (0:00) Intro (0:19) Hackathon Fame (3:52) Shiv Recruits Mahal (6:30) Doctors Who Code (9:07) Prototypes vs Production (10:26) Regulation and Partnerships (13:00) Customization vs Reliability (15:59) AI Native Company Ops (19:29) Healthcare in 10 Years (21:08) Admin vs Clinical AI (24:47) Payers and Prior Auth (29:48) Training Doctors for AI (35:19) Context, Autonomy, and Demand (40:40) Pre-visit Workflows and Triage   Out-Of-Pocket: https://www.outofpocket.health/

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. If you've felt the weight of this moment but also sensed an invitation hidden inside it, this conversation is your permission to stop hiding and start wielding.(00:00) Through the Fire Intro(00:28) Opening Conversation(02:55) Meet Aubert Bastiat / Origins and Family Split(11:09) Early Crime and Atheism(15:10) Internet and Psychedelic Awakening(18:26) Drug Dealing & LA County Jail(25:28) Getting Clean & Relapse Into Psychosis(33:35) Family Burdens(38:07) Suicidal Breaking Point(45:01) Trying to Save His Younger Sister(01:00:24) Father Wound Healing(01:06:59) Sacred Sons Origin & The Fallout(01:18:04) Why They Pushed Me Out(01:30:58) Dark Night Spiral(01:41:08) Extortion And SmearGUEST LINKSNikhil KaleWebsite: nikhilkale.comACE / Asraya: asraya.ioInstagram: @primal.alchemyNathaniel SolaceWebsite: nathanielsolace.comAI training & freebie: nathanielsolace.com/aiCONNECT WITH USStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetWatch Our EpisodesJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the Truth

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.
