We unpack why the “SaaS-Pocalypse” is less about software dying and more about buyers finally right sizing cloud and marketplace deals with better data. We dig into AI unit economics, token driven cost volatility, and how procurement, FinOps, and venture capital are being rewritten in real time. • Flywl as a cloud meta marketplace across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud • Buyer pain and buyer empathy as the product design center • Why AI inference costs make traditional FinOps reactive • Treating a marketplace purchase as a transaction lifecycle asset • Real time consumption tracking, alerts, and contract renegotiation timing • Outcome based pricing challenges with token variability and agentic workflows • Revenue recognition uncertainty in consumption and outcome models • Why humans still matter in go to market despite AI agents • The data cleanup problem in procurement and the need for universal product IDs • Why enterprises are not rushing to build all SaaS internally with AI • 2026 VC dynamics, mega rounds, capital concentration, and what counts as real recurring revenue “SaaS-Pocalypse” makes for a great headline, but the real shockwave is quieter and more disruptive: enterprise buyers finally understand their cloud environment well enough to demand better deals, better governance, and real proof of value. We sit down for a roundtable on cloud marketplaces, AI unit economics, and the new reality of software procurement where a purchase is no longer a static line item, it's a living asset you have to monitor, benchmark, and continuously right size. Ankur Srivastava, CEO and founder of Flywl, explains why he built a cloud meta marketplace to unify buying and selling across AWS Marketplace, Azure, and Google Cloud and why “buyer empathy” is the only way to fix a broken procurement playbook. Priya Ramachandran, founder and managing partner at Foster Ventures, connects the dots from operator experience to investing, and breaks down why traditional FinOps can't keep up with AI inference costs, token volatility, and outcome-based pricing models like per ticket resolved. Then we zoom out to the 2026 venture capital environment: mega rounds, capital concentration, and the debate over whether AI-native efficiency makes old funding assumptions obsolete. Along the way, we tackle an agentic economy question: when algorithms negotiate with algorithms, what happens to trust, brand, and human relationships in go to market?Ankur Srivastava: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankursrivas/Ankur Srivastava is the CEO and Founder of Flywl, the world's first cloud meta-marketplace transforming how enterprises buy and sell software across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

In this episode of The Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I answer listener design questions and focus on practical ways to improve everyday spaces. I start by helping Priya from Austin rethink her home office Zoom background, explaining how a balanced backdrop with subtle patterns, greenery, and good lighting can look polished without being distracting, and emphasizing that the background should support—not compete with—the person on screen. Then I help Caroline from Tennessee decide on lighting for her dining room, recommending one strong chandelier rather than multiple fixtures above a dining table and explaining how the size, shape, and texture of the light should complement the table and introduce a new material to the room. Throughout the episode, I share design principles about simplicity, balance, and texture while encouraging listeners to submit their own questions and experiment thoughtfully with their spaces.

Javier thought he had this one locked in. His first date with Priya at a buzzing spot on Castro Street felt effortless from the start. She shows up straight from work, takes off her badge to officially switch into “Happy Hour Mode,” and the two spend the evening sharing plates and people-watching on the patio. When her Uber arrives, she hugs him goodbye and everything feels promising. So why did Priya disappear right after?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lose yourself in the colors!"Hi: आरव ने पहले पहल थोड़ा झिझकते हुए रंग उठाया।En: Aarav hesitantly picked up the color at first.Hi: पर जैसे ही उसने प्रिया के चेहरे पर गुलाल लगाया, उसके दिल में एक अनोखी खुशी दौड़ गई।En: But as soon as he applied gulal on Priya's face, a unique joy rushed through his heart.Hi: प्रिया ने आरव को समझाया, "देखो, जीवन भी एक होली की तरह ही है। हर पल को खुलकर जीना चाहिए।"En: Priya explained to Aarav, "Look, life is just like Holi. Every moment should be lived openly."Hi: उनकी यह बात आरव के दिल में उतर गई।En: Her words touched Aarav's heart.Hi: रंगों के इस उत्सव में आरव ने कहीं न कहीं अपनी कला के लिए नई प्रेरणा पाई।En: In this festival of colors, Aarav found new inspiration for his art somewhere.Hi: प्रिया की ऊर्जा और जीवन के प्रति उसका नजरिया उसे भा गया।En: He was captivated by Priya's energy and her outlook on life.Hi: एक नए अहसास में बंधे, उन्होंने एक-दूसरे से फिर मिलने का वादा किया।En: Bound by a new feeling, they promised to meet again.Hi: होली के इस पर्व ने उन्हें सिर्फ रंगों से नहीं, बल्कि एक नई शुरुआत से जोड़ दिया था।En: This festival of Holi connected them not only with colors but with a new beginning.Hi: आरव की कला ने एक नया मोड़ लिया और प्रिया को ऐसे साथी का साथ मिला जो जीवन के हर रंग को उसके संग साझा करने वाला था।En: Aarav's art took a new turn, and Priya found a companion who would share every color of life with her.Hi: इस तरह, लोदी गार्डन के रंगमंच पर होली के रंगों में एक नई कहानी ने जन्म लिया।En: Thus, a new story was born amidst the colors at the stage of Lodi Garden on Holi.Hi: जीवन की सच्ची खूबसूरती शायद ऐसी ही होती है... सरल, सहज, और रंगीन।En: True beauty of life is perhaps just like this... simple, effortless, and colorful.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Priyadarshini "Priya" Basu of Washington State University to discuss two major topics shaping the future of beekeeping: the upcoming COLOSS North America meeting and the evolving science of honey bee nutrition. COLOSS (Prevention of Colony Losses) is an international nonprofit network of more than 2,000 honey bee researchers across 113 countries. For the first time, a multi–task force North American meeting will be held June 6–12 at Washington State University in Pullman. The event will bring together researchers, beekeepers, veterinarians, inspectors, and growers to discuss nutrition, pathogens, pesticides, climate change, and landscape impacts on honey bee health. Workshops, tours, and hands-on sessions will provide practical learning opportunities for attendees at all levels. Priya also shares updates from her lab's nutrition research, including pollen landscape mapping across North America, micronutrient analysis, supplemental forage strategies, and how nutrition interacts with stressors like pesticides and disease. The discussion covers practical considerations for trapping and storing pollen, differences between pollen substitutes and supplements, winter feeding strategies, and how nutrition influences brood production and colony resilience. This episode connects cutting-edge research directly to real-world beekeeping decisions — from hobbyists to commercial operations.

✨ In this powerful and heart-led episode of the Uplift Her Leadership Series, I sit down with the radiant and visionary Priya, founder of sariKNOTsari — a slow fashion movement cleverly disguised as a clothing brand.Before we dive into her extraordinary story, we begin — as always — with a grounding heart-centered reset. A gentle pause. A breath. A moment to reconnect with gratitude and come back to yourself.From there, what unfolds is a conversation about invisible threads, resilience, self-trust, community, feminine leadership, and the courage to let go of the “bananas” we were never meant to carry.Priya shares how her journey from law school to teaching… from burnout to breakthrough… from chasing perfection to redefining beauty… ultimately led her to transform upcycled vintage saris into timeless, size-inclusive pieces that honor changing bodies and lived experience.Priya reminds us that confidence is not about control — it's about connection. That community is medicine. That clothes can be self-rescue. And that real change happens through warmth, not force.✨ In this thoughtful, wise, and beautifully layered conversation, we explored:✅The “Invisible String” moments that guide us through life✅Why chasing unrealistic beauty standards keeps us stuck✅The Chanel epiphany that changed everything✅Turning burnout into clarity during her teaching career✅The Sun and the Wind leadership lesson — why warmth wins✅Letting go of control with insights from Mel Robbins✅The power of “Let Them” — and the even greater power of “Let Me”✅Healing your inner child (and why your dream age might matter)Priya's vision extends far beyond clothing. She dreams of building village-based production models in India that support women, families, and education — proving that business can put people first and still thrive.✨Explore Priya's beautiful work at sariKNOTsari (And yes — that little chat box in the corner? That's actually her.)

Story Transcript:Hi: सुंदरबन के रॉयल बंगाल टाइगर रिजर्व का वातावरण शांत और मोहक था।En: The atmosphere of the Sundarban Royal Bengal Tiger Reserve was calm and enchanting.Hi: सर्दियों की हल्की धूप में मछुआरों की कश्तियाँ पानी में धीमे-धीमे तैर रही थीं।En: In the mild winter sunlight, fishermen's boats were slowly floating on the water.Hi: हर तरफ हरियाली थी, और हवा में समुंद्र की गंध घुली हुई थी।En: There was greenery everywhere, and the scent of the ocean was blended into the air.Hi: इस प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य के बीच एक छोटा सा मिट्टी का बना सम्मेलन कक्ष खड़ा था, जहाँ कई लोग एकत्रित हो रहे थे।En: Amidst this natural beauty stood a small mud-built conference room, where many people were gathering.Hi: इसी कक्ष में एक महत्वपूर्ण बैठक होने जा रही थी।En: An important meeting was about to take place in this room.Hi: अरjun, एक युवा और उत्साही वन्यजीव जीवविज्ञानी, अपने विचारों में खोया हुआ था।En: Arjun, a young and enthusiastic wildlife biologist, was lost in his thoughts.Hi: उसे टाइगर संरक्षण के लिए और अधिक धन और संसाधन चाहिए थे।En: He needed more funds and resources for tiger conservation.Hi: टाइगर गणना की उसकी गहरी जानकारी योजनाएँ तैयार कर रही थीं।En: His in-depth knowledge of tiger counting was formulating plans.Hi: वह सुंदरबन में बाघों की गिनती को लेकर अध्ययन करना चाहता था।En: He wanted to study the counting of tigers in the Sundarban.Hi: लेकिन उसके सामने खड़ी थी प्रिया, एक समझदार परियोजना प्रबंधक।En: But standing in front of him was Priya, an adept project manager.Hi: प्रिया का मानना था कि केवल बाघों के संरक्षण से कुछ नहीं होगा, जब तक आस-पास की स्थानीय जनता को शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा।En: Priya believed that conserving only tigers would not be enough, unless the local community around them was involved.Hi: बैठक में अरjun ने अपने विचार रखे।En: In the meeting, Arjun presented his ideas.Hi: "हमें बाघों की सुरक्षा के लिए और अधिक धन की आवश्यकता है।En: "We need more funds for the protection of the tigers.Hi: हमें उनके जीवन को समझने के लिए गहराई से अध्ययन करना होगा," उसने कहा।En: We have to study them in-depth to understand their lives," he said.Hi: प्रिया ने उसकी बात ध्यान से सुनी और फिर बोली, "अरjun, तुम्हारी योजना अच्छी है, लेकिन हमें स्थानीय समुदाय को भी परियोजना में शामिल करना होगा।En: Priya listened carefully to him and then spoke, "Arjun, your plan is good, but we must also involve the local community in the project.Hi: यदि वे साथ हो तो हमारी योजना अधिक सफल होगी।En: If they are with us, our plan will be more successful."Hi: "दोनों के बीच मतभेद साफ था, लेकिन अभी तक कोई समाधान नहीं निकला था।En: The difference in their opinions was clear, but no solution had been reached yet.Hi: इसी बीच, बैठक के बीच अचानक एक समाचार आया कि एक बाघ एक नजदीकी गाँव में घुस गया है।En: Meanwhile, suddenly news came during the meeting that a tiger had entered a nearby village.Hi: यह सुनते ही सब लोग चौंक गए।En: As soon as everyone heard this, they were shocked.Hi: हालात की नजाकत को देखते हुए अरjun और प्रिया दोनों को मिलकर काम करना पड़ा।En: Given the sensitivity of the situation, both Arjun and Priya had to work together.Hi: तुरंत ही वे अपने साथी विशेषज्ञों के साथ गांव की ओर रवाना हो गए।En: Immediately, they set off for the village with their fellow experts.Hi: वहां पहुंचकर, उन्होंने देखा कि बाघ को शांत करना जरूरी था, जिससे गाँव वाले भी सुरक्षित रहें और बाघ को भी नुकसान न पहुँचे।En: Upon reaching there, they saw that it was necessary to calm the tiger so that the villagers remained safe and the tiger was not harmed.Hi: अरjun ने अपनी विशेषज्ञता का उपयोग करते हुए बाघ की स्थिति को समझा और उसे बचाने के निर्देश दिए।En: Arjun used his expertise to understand the situation of the tiger and gave instructions to save it.Hi: प्रिया ने स्थानीय नेताओं से बात की और उन्हें भरोसा दिलाया कि उनका गाँव सुरक्षित रहेगा।En: Priya talked to the local leaders and assured them that their village would remain safe.Hi: उनकी योजना सफल रही।En: Their plan was successful.Hi: बाघ को जंगल में वापस छोड़ दिया गया और गाँव वालों के मन से डर हट गया।En: The tiger was released back into the forest, and the villagers' fear was alleviated.Hi: उस घटना के बाद, अरjun और प्रिया ने एक-दूसरे के दृष्टिकोण को बेहतर तरीके से समझा।En: After that incident, Arjun and Priya better understood each other's perspectives.Hi: अरjun ने स्वीकार किया कि प्रिया की समावेशी रणनीतियाँ वास्तव में प्रभावी थीं।En: Arjun acknowledged that Priya's inclusive strategies were indeed effective.Hi: प्रिया ने भी अरjun की बाघों के प्रति समर्पण और ज्ञान की सराहना की।En: Priya also appreciated Arjun's dedication and knowledge regarding tigers.Hi: अंततः, उन्होंने तय किया कि वे एक साथ काम करेंगे।En: Ultimately, they decided to work together.Hi: एक ऐसा तालमेल बनाया जाएगा जिसमें बाघों की सुरक्षा के साथ-साथ स्थानीय समुदाय की खुशहाली भी सुनिश्चित हो सके।En: A harmony would be created in which not only the safety of the tigers but also the welfare of the local community would be ensured.Hi: इस तरह उनका सहयोग और योजना सुंदरबन में बाघों और लोगों के लिए बेहतर भविष्य की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम साबित हुआ।En: Thus, their collaboration and plan proved to be a significant step towards a better future for the tigers and people in the Sundarban.

Priya continues our sermon series on faith in Hebrews 11, exploring how the faith of Sarah (Sarai) was not rooted in her questionable life choices, but was ultimately a result of God's faithfulness.

“We’re empowering health-care providers with unprecedented clinical depth in a compact portable form factor,” AliveCor CEO Priya Abani says about the development of its AI-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, which provide medical-grade heart data anytime and anywhere. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Abani sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth discussion about the expansion of AliveCor’s Kardia 12L device, which gives physicians a smaller, more portable ECG option. The company has widened the device’s indications to 39 cardiac conditions, established a new Category III reimbursement code and continues to train its algorithm using 1 million ECGs. Abani also talks about how her time at Amazon.com influenced her perspective on the interaction of technology and the human experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She's also the author of the book, “Stumbling Towards Inclusion: Finding Grace in Imperfect Leadership”.Whether you're leading inclusion initiatives or simply want to understand how to create a workplace where every employee feels empowered to deliver their best, this conversation will give you the insights and practical strategies you need to make meaningful progress.

What begins as a sincere search for meaning can quietly become control. In this episode, you'll hear how devotion can blur into self-erasure—and what it takes to find your voice again. This conversation is for anyone navigating a high-demand group, spiritual community, or power dynamic that feels “off.” Hosted by Sayan on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, journalist and chef Priya Hutner shares her journey from joining an ashram as a teen to leadership, awakening, and healing through writing, therapy, and rebuilding self-trust. About the Guest: Priya Hutner is a journalist and chef, and a former CEO of an ashram community. She authored the memoir Chasing Nirvana, reflecting on spirituality, control, and recovery. Key Takeaways: Notice “slow-burn” red flags: shaming, fear-based loyalty, and loss of agency. Ask: “Can I question, think critically, and leave without punishment?” Track incongruence between teachings and lived reality. Rebuild self-trust through supportive practices (therapy, writing, reflection). Separate genuine spirituality from systems that demand self-erasure. 5.

This program explores the collision of tariffs, sustainability, design business acumen and shifting client expectations, offering a roadmap for navigating the volatility of the 2026 design landscape. Recorded live at Design Hardware in Los Angeles, I gathered a panel of industry leaders to dissect the economic and social forces shaping interior design as we head into 2026. Featuring Eva Hughes (Black House Beige), Shelly Sandoval (The Lauzon Collective), Rachel Grachowski (RHG Architecture), and Priya Vij (Hapny Home), the conversation confronts the “chaos” of the current market—from tariff-induced supply chain disruptions to the critical shortage of skilled labor. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep The discussion pivots from the technical challenges of “designing for disaster” and uninsurability to the creative opportunities found in circular economies and intentional sourcing. The panelists argue for a shift away from “fast fashion” interiors toward a “friendliness” of durability, prioritizing materials that pass the “grandparent test” of longevity. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that in a volatile market, the most valuable currencies are transparency, deep vendor relationships, and educating clients on the true cost of craftsmanship. The “Friendliness” of Durability: A move toward “legacy” materials—like solid brass hardware and high-quality hardwood—that age gracefully and avoid the landfill, countering the disposable nature of current trends. Supply Chain as Design Driver: How tariffs and stock volatility are forcing firms to adopt “high-low” budgeting and pre-purchase models (buying and storing materials early) to protect projects from price surges. Designing for Disaster: The reality of rebuilding in fire-prone zones (like Altadena and the Palisades) is driving a demand for non-toxic, fire-resistant materials and a “circular economy” approach where building products can return to the earth safely. The Labor Crisis: A candid look at the “graying” of the trades; as master craftsmen retire without a new generation to replace them, the industry faces a loss of institutional knowledge and execution capability. Intentionality Over “Modern”: The panel discusses abandoning vague buzzwords like “wellness” and “modern” in favor of deep-dive mood boarding and psychological profiling to align client expectations with reality.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Priya Hutner, we keep pulling back the curtain on life inside the Kashi Ashram and the world surrounding Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati (“Ma”), including what happens when devotion, hierarchy, and silence collide. Priya continues sharing her lived experience growing up in and around the ashram and how spiritual ideals were often used to excuse harm, blur boundaries, and shut down questions. We talk about the normalization of control and coercion in spiritual communities, the pressure to reframe pain as growth, and what it's like to realize—years later—that what you were taught was “love” or “service” didn't actually feel safe.We explore the long tail of cult recovery and religious trauma, especially for those raised in high-control spiritual environments where obedience was spiritualized and dissent was discouraged. We reflect on the complicated legacy of Ma, the culture of the ashram, and how charismatic leaders and closed communities can create conditions where harm goes unchecked. Priya's honesty adds to an essential conversation about accountability, healing, and reclaiming your voice after leaving a group that once defined your entire world.Be sure to check out Priya's book launching March 3, 2026, Chasing Nirvana: A Seeker's Story of Love, Loss and Liberation, and follow her on her website, Instagram, or Facebook.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

About This Episode  In this powerful episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, three leaders in workplace design and people strategy — Bree Groff, Priya Rathod, and Selena Rezvani — unpack what truly makes work meaningful today. From the myth that work must be drudgery to the practical systems companies can adopt for wellbeing, belonging, trust, inclusion, and confidence — this conversation reframes workplace culture as a strategic advantage. Drawing on decades of experience working with C‑suite leaders and global teams, our guests provide tangible ways leaders and employees alike can build environments where people show up energized, feel like they belong, and are empowered to bring their full selves to work. For anyone shaping the future of work — whether you lead teams, rethink culture, or build inclusive systems — this conversation is a roadmap to better days at work. 

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.In Part 1 of our conversation with writer Priya Hutner, she takes us inside her years at the Kashi Ashram, a spiritual community led by guru Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, AKA “Ma,” in New York. She unpacks how an intentional, service-oriented “ashram family” slowly revealed deeply culty dynamics beneath the incense and darshan (beholding). She traces her journey from an earnest young seeker drawn to Eastern spirituality, meditation, and seva (service), to an insider navigating Ma Jaya's love-bombing, manufactured mystique, public darshans and punishments, and the slow erosion of her autonomy and critical thinking in the name of devotion and ego death.We also get into the day-to-day life at Kashi—kids raised collectively, money and careers funneled into the guru's vision, romantic and family relationships controlled from the top—and how Priya eventually recognized spiritual abuse, trauma bonding, and high-demand group tactics that still affect former ashram members decades later.Be sure to check out Priya's book launching March 3, 2026, Chasing Nirvana: A Seeker's Story of Love, Loss and Liberation, and follow her on her website, Instagram, or Facebook.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Obstetrician-gynecologist Priya Panneerselvam discusses their article "How medicine reflects women's silence." Priya discusses how the quiet deference observed in their mother's generation continues to manifest in patients who apologize for their pain and hesitate to ask questions. The conversation explores the cultural and national forces that suppress female voices, linking personal family history to the broader political landscape regarding women's rights and leadership. By examining the cost of this inherited silence, Priya advocates for speaking out as an act of rebellion and gratitude for those who could not. Breaking this cycle is necessary to honor the past while securing a freer future. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Back in January 2020, Rufus sat down with Priya Parker — a conflict resolution specialist who's worked on peace processes around the world — to talk about her book The Art of Gathering. What she told him changed how we think about every dinner party, every work meeting, every family get-together we host. Priya's argument is simple but radical. She says most of our gatherings fail because we focus on the wrong things. We obsess over the menu, the playlist. And we ignore the one question we should be asking: Why are we bringing these people together? With the right answer to that question, she says, you can turn any gathering into something meaningful — maybe even transformative.
