What happens when a tech leader with a background in democratizing design at companies like Figma turns their attention to architecture? This week, we're joined by Radhika Parashar Narain, Head of Marketing at Arcol, a software company reimagining how architects design and collaborate.Coming from the world of Software as a Service (SaaS), Radhika offers a fresh and insightful perspective on a profession she finds fascinatingly complex and creative, yet overdue for better tools. She shares her initial shock at the fragmented, inefficient, and often joyless workflows architects are forced to navigate. Radhika discusses the cultural and practical hurdles to tech adoption in an industry rooted in tradition, from the high "cost of change" after years spent learning legacy software to a scarcity mindset around collaboration. The conversation explores how Arcol, founded with a "Figma for BIM" ethos, aims to bring simplicity, accessibility, and collaboration to the earliest stages of design.Ultimately, Radhika's vision is not about disruption for its own sake, but about empowerment. She argues that by embracing intuitively designed, cloud-based tools, architects can reduce friction, foster collaboration, and rediscover the joy in their craft. Her hope is for architects to raise their standards for the software they use every day."My hope for the profession is for architects to have as high expectations as we have of the tools that we can foresee and we can kind of imagine can bring that joy back to the process." - Radhika Parashar NarainThis episode concludes with a call for the profession to see technology as a leverage point. Radhika encourages architects, especially students and smaller firms, to experiment early, build collaboration as a muscle, and use new tools to "punch above their weight." By democratizing access to powerful, well-designed software, the next generation can move beyond the limitations of legacy systems and focus on what they do best: creating the built world.Guest:Radhika Parashar Narain is the Head of Marketing at Arcol, a software company building a new generation of design and collaboration tools for architects. With a background in SaaS and design technology, including a tenure at Figma, she is passionate about empowering creators with better tools and making design more accessible to everyone.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are an architect frustrated with your current software and workflows. ✅ You are curious about how the mindset of Silicon Valley (SaaS) applies to the AEC industry. ✅ You want to understand the challenges and opportunities of tech adoption in architecture. ✅ You believe in the power of technology to democratize design and empower smaller firms. ✅ You are a student or educator looking for the next wave of tools that will shape the future of practice.

“Escaping The Performance Trap” Join me and my guest Radhika Dutt. She is currently Advisor on Product Thinking to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (Singapore's central bank and financial regulator). She is the author of two book, the latest of which proposes that a focus on performance is stifling innovation and limiting creativity and productivity. She is a graduate of MIT, speaks nine languages and the methodology she introduced in her first book is now used in over 40 countries. In this interview we explore her innovative new methodology: OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings). OHLs reframe how we define and measure progress and transform organizations from a target-driven culture to one of puzzle-setting and puzzle-solving. SHOW NOTES SPONSORED BY: Power of You! Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine and Radhika Dutt explore the concept of the 'soul of business' and how traditional metrics like KPIs can detract from genuine innovation and productivity. Radhika introduces her framework of OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings) as a solution to the pitfalls of goal-setting, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and learning in the workplace. They discuss the need for a shift in mindset towards puzzle setting and solving, which fosters a more engaged and innovative organizational culture.  Takeaways The purpose of a goal is to grow, not just achieve metrics. KPIs can often suck the soul out of business. Chaos can be a necessary component of effective leadership. A framework for experimentation is essential for innovation. Puzzle setting and solving can add soul to business processes. Asking how well something is working encourages curiosity. Learning from experiences is more valuable than just reporting numbers. The mindset shift is crucial for implementing new frameworks. Burnout often stems from a loss of meaning in work. Engaging teams in problem-solving fosters a more innovative culture.

When someone makes a mistake, do we hold them accountable or do we end up blaming everyone connected to them?We explore the narrative of King Dhruva, whose grief led him to unfairly target an entire race, and the tale of Daksha and Lord Shiva, where personal pride ignited widespread conflict. - the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam reminds us that anger spreads fast, and blame spreads even faster.But Bhakti wisdom invites us to pause, to respond with balance instead of overreaction, to take responsibility without unfairly condemning others. This episode challenges us to consider our own tendencies in moments of conflict: Do we cast blame too broadly, and are we mindful of how our actions ripple through our communities?Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Are you considering immigration to the US through an investment? Investing via Trump's Gold Card over an EB-5 Investment?  This podcast episode is for you. This podcast episode offers a focused discussion on the Gold Card and EB-5 investment options, highlighting key differences and considerations for potential investors. Hosts Mona and Rebecca are joined by Radhika Chopra, an experienced advisor from InvestAmerica, a firm with a strong track record in EB-5 project selection, having assisted over 700 families and raised over $400 million in capital.While the podcast revolves around the fundamental differences between the two tracks, as the Gold Card involves a non-refundable donation, EB-5 investments offer the potential for a return of capital, along with interest. However, this potential return comes with a greater need for thorough due diligence, the importance of enlisting qualified financial advisors and specialized due diligence firms to assess project viability. Radhika discusses and highlights the complexities involved in evaluating EB-5 projects, from understanding market dynamics to navigating regulatory hurdles.Beyond the financial aspects, the discussion addresses the challenges investors face in understanding the U.S. landscape, navigating cultural differences, and establishing direct lines of communication with developers. The episode underscores the importance of looking beyond regional centers and engaging directly with developers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the project's potential and risks.This episode serves as a valuable resource for anyone considering investment as a pathway to US immigration, providing insights into the key factors that can lead to a successful and informed investment decision.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Radhika Dutt—MIT-trained engineer, entrepreneur, and author of Radical Product Thinking, to rethink how high-growth companies set direction and measure progress. Radhika explains why traditional goal systems (KPIs/OKRs) often incentivize “performance theater,” tracing their lineage from Drucker's MBOs to Andy Grove to today's playbooks—and why they're mismatched to modern, creative work. She introduces OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings) and a “puzzle setting/puzzle solving” culture that pushes teams to interrogate bad numbers, not hide them. Along the way she names common “product diseases” (HERO syndrome, obsessive sales disorder, pivotitis, strategic swelling, Narcissus complex) and shows how a clear, testable vision prevents whiplash pivots. A standout case study: at Signal Ocean, reframing the challenge for tech-averse users helped double sales in 2024 and again in 2025 while reducing churn from 26% to 4%. Leaders also get a practical script for better reviews (“How well is it working? What did we learn? What will we try next?”) and a reminder to build experimentation muscles before a crisis. The result is a rigorous, human approach to strategy that replaces vanity metrics with compounding learning.TakeawaysOKRs often reward optics over insight, encouraging “performance theater.”Use a concrete vision that states the problem, audience, status quo, desired end state, and product's role.Shift from “hit the target” to puzzle setting so teams feel invited to solve the right problems.Run on OHLs: Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings to measure deeply and learn publicly.Watch for “product diseases” like HERO syndrome, obsessive sales disorder, pivotitis, strategic swelling, and the Narcissus complex.Pivot with gravitas by stating what was wrong, what you learned, and what you'll try next.Case study: at Signal Ocean, reframing for tech-averse users unlocked adoption, doubled sales year over year, and reduced churn.OKRs trace back to MBOs, which fit repetitive work but struggle with today's creative, uncertain problems.Leaders should act like detectives, not judges to create psychological safety for honest learning.Introduce OHLs inside your current cadence before replacing existing processes.Spread market insight beyond the founder so teams can challenge assumptions and stay aligned.Start with the segment that has the most urgent need, then expand intentionally.Chapters00:00 Intro & Why Targets Mislead01:27 Radhika's Path and Early Lessons03:41 Hitting Numbers vs. Reality on the Ground05:31 “Product Diseases” That Derail Strategy07:51 Writing a Vision You Can Execute09:49 The Wine Startup Example and Narcissus Complex13:07 Pivotitis and How to Pivot with Gravitas16:34 Translating Vision into Actionable Experiments17:44 Why Goals Alone Don't Work20:03 A Short History of OKRs and Their Limits24:43 From Targets to Puzzles: Reframing Stalled Sales26:50 OHLs: Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings29:14 Running Better Reviews: Three Questions35:31 Case Study: Signal Ocean's Tech-Averse Users39:55 Outcomes: Doubling Sales and Reducing Churn41:58 Intel's Lesson: Experimentation Beats Goal Mechanics47:58 Detectives, Not Judges: Building a Learning Culture50:06 How to Start Tomorrow with OHLs59:37 Don't Do Founder Mode; Spread Insight01:03:18 Closing Notes & ResourcesRadhika Dutt's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhika-dutt/Radhika Dutt's Websites:https://www.radicalproduct.com/https://rdutt.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Why am I suffering? It's a question most of us have whispered through tears at some point. In this week's For Soul's Sake, Radhika Das reflects on the tender reality of pain — not as punishment, but as purification.Drawing wisdom from the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, he shares how suffering can strip away illusions, soften the heart, and invite us into deeper love and remembrance.You are not your pain.

On a quiet Thursday morning in Gurugram, India, 25-year-old tennis coach Radhika Yadav was cooking in her family's kitchen when she was shot in the back.Radhika was a rising star in the tennis world—a state-level player turned coach with her own academy and a fierce determination to stand on her own. But inside her home, tensions had been simmering: her independence, her academy, even her clothes became points of conflict.Police quickly zeroed in on one person, her father Deepak Yadav. And what they uncovered was a story of pride, resentment, and control that ended in a shocking act of violence within the walls of her own home.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

In this episode, Dave and Peter sit down with Radhika Dutt, author of "Radical Product Thinking: The New Mindset for Innovating Smarter," to explore why iteration-obsessed product development is failing organizations.Radhika shares hard-learned lessons from her 25-year career across diverse industries and five acquisitions, introducing the concept of "product diseases" like hero syndrome, pivotitis, and obsessive sales disorder that plague modern product teams. She challenges conventional wisdom around OKRs and goal-setting, explaining why they often create an illusion of performance while masking real problems.The conversation explores why goals, targets, and OKRs backfire and what actually works instead. Radhika introduces her tried-and-tested alternative: a framework for puzzle-setting and puzzle-solving called OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings). This approach helps companies develop a mindset that equips teams to experiment, learn, and adapt in a disciplined way, ultimately delivering far better results than traditional goal-setting methods.The discussion dives deep into crafting detailed, hypothesis-driven vision statements that actually help teams make decisions, rather than fluffy corporate speak that sounds inspiring but provides no guidance. Radhika explains how to balance vision debt against short-term survival needs using her three-question puzzle-solving framework.Key Takeaways:The importance of writing good hypotheses and understanding customer pain points deeply before defining experiments and measurementsOrganizations need to get much closer to their target customers to truly understand their behaviors and pain points, enabling better vision statements and hypotheses that resonateEffective vision statements must enable decision-making; if you can't make yes/no decisions based on your vision, and understand the trade-offs between short-term survival and long-term vision, it's not valuable enoughFree Resource: Download the OHLs template and toolkit: https://www.radicalproduct.com/toolkit/#OHLToolkit

This episode explores the reality of loneliness in a world overflowing with online connections and how solitude, when embraced, can deepen self-awareness and authenticity. It reflects on the path of bhakti yoga—cultivating love for Krishna—not as mere ritual, but as a holistic way of life that nourishes the heart and mind. Through personal stories, we discuss how divine connection offers fulfilment, purpose, and fearlessness, while spiritual friendships and guidance from a higher power create a true sense of belonging. The journey from doubt to devotion reveals the transformative power of bhakti in turning loneliness into lasting joy.(00:00) - Loneliness(08:43) - The Essence of Loving Krishna(13:18) - Seeking Authentic Connection With God(23:26) - Building Intimate Relationship With God(29:55) - Journey to Overcome LonelinessWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

The conversation explores the history of goal-setting, its limitations in complex environments, and practical steps for implementing Dutt's approach.

Objectives and Key Results have long been a staple of the working world. You set a stretch objective, define the results that will tell you if the objective has been met, and scaffold throughout the organization. Then what? Often, nothing happens. The OKRs were too vague. In extreme cases, the worst happens: people bend the rules to hit aggressive targets. For author Radhika Dutt, there is another way: Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings (OHLs). In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Radhika joins Gemma and Ross Garner to discuss: Why OKRs so often fail How OHLs prioritize a puzzle-solving mindset How to ensure OHLs don't lead to analysis paralysis Radhika offers an OHL toolkit at: radicalproduct.com/toolkit In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross G discussed 'parasocial relationships'.

In this episode of For Soul's Sake, we explore the many layers of meaning within sacred texts like the Bhagavad-gītā. Far from being static rulebooks, scriptures are living conversations that evolve with us — offering new insights each time we return to them. Radhika reflects on how verses can shift from battlefield stories to inner battles, from instructions to transformations, and how the guidance of saints and teachers helps reveal depth without distortion. This is an invitation to let scripture not only inform you, but transform you — if you're willing to listen with the heart.Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Can spiritual growth and material success truly coexist? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with our friends Nama and Stine as we explore the often complex relationship between spirituality and ambition.Together, we reflect on the tension between intent and attachment—challenging perceptions around spiritual leaders owning luxury items and contrasting the needs of charities versus businesses.With light-hearted insights and grounded reflections, we examine how motivation and purpose—not possessions—define true simplicity. We also explore how success is redefined through a spiritual lens, emphasising its temporary nature and the deeper fulfilment found in clarity, humility, and connection—gifts bestowed by Krishna.(00:00) - Spirituality, Success, and Material Possessions(08:19) - Motivation and Purpose in Life(16:50) - Detachment and Spiritual FulfillmentWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

In this episode, we explore the role of a guru — not as a distant authority figure, but as a deeply personal guide on the path of transformation. It's easy to think we can walk the spiritual journey alone, armed with books, podcasts, and inspirational content. But real growth often requires something more grounded, more relational.We talk about what a true guru is, what they aren't, and why having guidance isn't about surrendering your freedom — it's about uncovering it. I also share a bit of my own story, the shift that happened when I met my teacher, and how that relationship continues to shape my journey.This one's for anyone who's ever wondered if they really need a guide… or if they're ready to receive one.Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

As Taylor notes, "deranged mothers" seem to be trending this season, with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's Die, My Love making headlines after its festival premiere. Radhika also weighs in on the controversy swirling around Eddington, Ari Aster's much-hyped follow-up to Beau Is Afraid (spoiler alert: it didn't make her top picks.)And of course, no Cannes coverage would be complete without a fashion moment.

Radhika Desai returns to PTO to talk about the latest round of violence between India and Pakistan, following the terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists in Indian administered Kashmir on April 22nd. We discussed the situation in Jammu and Kashmir since 2019, when the Hindu nationalist government of Narendra Modi revoked the territory's special status under the Indian constitution and brought it under direct rule amid a wave of violent repression. We also talked about fears in Kashmir about the Indian government seeking to change the demographic balance in the territory, and about the scale of the fighting Pakistan and India - which far exceeded the previous round of the conflict in 2019.

O jiva soul, arise and give up your sleep. Chant the holy names of Lord Hari, who is the giver of liberation; the enemy of the Mura demon; the supreme enjoyer; the all-attractive one; and the horse-headed incarnation, Hayagriva. 2) Lord Hari [Krsna] incarnated as the half-man, half-lion, Nrsimha. He appeared as a dwarf-brahmana named Upendra and is the killer of the Madhu demon. He is the beloved son of the King of Vraja, Nanda Maharaja, and is blackish in complexion. He is the slayer of the Putana witch and the destroyer of the demon Kaitabha. All glories to Lord Hari, who appeared as Lord Rama, the son of King Dasaratha. 3) He is the darling of mother Yasoda; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; and the protector of the cows. He is the Lord of the Vrndavana forest; the gopis' beloved; the lover of Radhika; and the most beautiful personality in all the worlds. 4) As Ramacandra He brought about the end of the demoniac King Ravana; as Krsna He stole the older gopis' butter; He stole the younger gopis' clothes while they were bathing in the Yamuna. He is a cowherd boy of Vraja and the protector of the cowherd boys. He steals the hearts of all and always holds a flute. 5) Lord Krsna is worshiped by the best of yogis and is the son of Nanda. He removes all the fears of the inhabitants of Vraja. He is the color of a fresh rain cloud, and His form is enchanting. When He wanders about, playing His flute, He looks very charming. 6) He is the son of Yasoda and the killer of King Kamsa, and He sports in the rasa dance among the groves of Vraja. Krsna engages in this rasa dance underneath the kadamba trees, and He resides in the forest of Vrndavana. 7) He increases the ecstasy of His devotees. He is the reservoir of all love and is the transcendental Cupid who uses His flowered arrows to increase the loving desires of the gopis. He is the pleasure of the gopis' hearts and the abode of all wonderful qualities. 8) Lord Krsna is the life of the River Yamuna. He is always absorbed in amorous pastimes, and He is the moon of the gopis' minds, which are like the cakora birds that subsist only upon moonlight. O mind, obey these words of mine and sing the glories of Sri Krsna in the form of these holy names, which are full of nectarean mellows.

Nadine Whitney had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Karan Kandhari and Radhika Apte about Sister Midnight and how as original and ‘weird' as it is, it's also representative of people who are rarely seen as (essential) inhabitants of Mumbai. Both Karan and Radhika are an absolute joy to listen to. Kandhari's film is a marvel of inventiveness. The work itself breaks the rules of what is considered genre cinema by never settling on one. Sister Midnight is much like the artist who performed the song after which it is named. Igwald Popstar – known to people who haven't chosen a ridiculous nickname for him as Iggy Pop or James Newell Osterberg Jr., – a man for whom conformity is as anathema as wearing a shirt. It's punk, it's unpredictable, and it has no time to explain itself to people who aren't feeling its strange and wonderful rhythms.Uma and Gopal barely speak to each other but when Uma does open her mouth the crude (but funny) invectives pour out. Her spikiness doesn't bother her neighbour Sheetal (Chhaya Kadam) greatly who takes her under her own resigned wing. However, even when Uma tries (and fails) to be wifely Gopal isn't particularly receptive preferring instead to drink alone than to accommodate Uma. When they do try to be a young couple, they end up taking a pointless thirteen-hour excursion to a beach, only to have to turn around and go home again. Life seems to demand that when they are with each other it is in extremely close quarters which makes Uma more aggressive and Gopal more avoidant. The green wedding bangles she wears (and shakes in anger) become shackles she can't wait to have cut off.Uma begins to make her own way through the city encountering other people whose lives are on the fringes. A trans sex worker who feels a kind of kinship with Uma's oddness. An elevator attendant in a building she begins working at as a cleaner (“Can you clean?” Uma is asked. “I'm a domestic goddess.” She replies), and then there are the goats who seem to follow her wherever she goes. Something is rising in her – something feral and undeniable – neither welcomed nor wholly unwelcomed.Trying to describe what goes on in Sister Midnight is much like humming a blisteringly brilliant song and hoping your paltry version matches up. Karan Kandhari's marvellous vision simply needs to be seen and heard (the soundtrack is incredible) for the fantastic jolts to pull you into its idiosyncratic and singular orbit.Sister Midnight is vivid and infectious. Radhika Apte is towering as Uma who inability to just “be a person” makes her an outlaw setting her own rules. Expect the unexpected in Sister Midnight and trust wherever it takes you is going to be rebellious and irresistible. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.
