As the title suggests, we have the much anticipated final instalment of Ro's wedding, featuring a dodgy cameraman and even dodgier dancing. We also hear about Ro being emasculated and Miguel's adventure in a broken down car. We have a car mind your manners as well before Sen brings a few tidbits to the table.We end with "What Your X Says About You," where we rattle off some (potentially outdated) stereotypes about coffee orders, gyms, NRL teams, suburbs and AI tools.___________________________________________________________ FULL PODCAST EPISODES

Today my guests are Ornit Shani and Rohit De, historians and the authors of the latest book Assembling India's Constitution. Ornit Shani is an associate professor of history at the University of Haifa and the author of How India Became Democratic: Citizenship and the Making of the Universal Franchise. Rohit De is an associate professor of history at Yale University and the author of A People's Constitution: The Everyday Life of Law in the Indian Republic. We talked about how their latest book is a radical departure from the usual telling of the making of the Indian Constitution as an elite project, the mass mobilization that took place during the drafting of the constitution, the role of public participation in political negotiation, the status of provincial legislatures and of princely states during the constitution making, and much more. Recorded January 20th, 2026 and February 10th, 2026. Read a full transcript enhanced with helpful links.

The wedding yarns continue as Ro runs a few dubious wedding related items by the boys before we waffle on for another half an hour, covering a range of topics including lookalikes, birdmen, free chicken, Ro's horrible dancing and of course Iran.In our segment this week, we test how ChatGPT reacts (often overwhelmingly positive and supportive) when you present it with an outrageous scenario.___________________________________________________________ FULL PODCAST EPISODES

We're back — and we might disappear on you again just as fast. Nick, Todd, and Rohit return from an extended hiatus to make sense of the most chaotic F1 season in recent memory. With entirely new cars, new engines, new teams, a new broadcaster (Apple TV, baby), and a grid that looks nothing like it did a year ago, there's no better time to dust off the mic.The guys debate whether the 2025 season — and Lando's championship — even felt real without the podcast to back it up, what the switch to Apple TV means for the sport's growth, and whether Drive to Survive still matters now that the actual racing is more dramatic than any producer could dream up. Plus: the nightmare fuel that is 2026 race starts, Aston Martin's historically bad car, the eternal question of Fernando Alonso's retirement, and a deep dive into which F1 drivers map onto Mario Kart characters.Hot takes, season predictions, and the return of Rohit's puns. Tread lightly, listener — for every review you leave, that's one more episode we're doing this season.00:00 – We're back (maybe)01:03 – Lando won... did it feel real without the pod?04:00 – The F1 Movie: Where does it land on the Rush scale?10:04 – Show format changes & the future of ExhaustNotes11:21 – Drive to Survive: does it still matter in 2026?13:45 – Apple TV takes over F1 broadcasting17:13 – Would a Drive to Survive-style show work for other motorsports?22:00 – Aston Martin blood magic & Lawrence Stroll sacrifices24:03 – 2026 race starts explained (it's going to be chaos)29:25 – RIP Yuki on the grid / his San Francisco farewell tour31:32 – The season ahead: new cars, new teams, new everything39:05 – F1 drivers as Mario Kart characters

Ro is back, fresh off his honeymoon, and we start this week by hearing his version of events at his wedding, including a behind the scenes look at all the highs and lows. We then talk about his honeymoon and his new found life of being a house husband. Sen then brings up a viral substack which outlines a very dystopian future regarding AI. We have 2 mini games this week with the first one being a game where Ro and Sen have to guess which are real KD burner tweets and which are AI. The second game is where Migs and Ro have to guess how many times different people show up in the Epstein files.___________________________________________________________ FULL PODCAST EPISODES
Sneaker History Podcast - Sneakers, Sneaker Culture and the Business of Footwear
The whole crew is back together... Nick, Mike, Robbie, and Rohit are all in the same (virtual) room for the first time in a while, and things get weird before they get good. From confusing their Thugs (Young vs. Slim, no disrespect to either) to breaking down the Reebok Engine A26 and the adidas x Spider collab dropping March 3rd, the guys cover a lot of ground this episode.The real meat of the conversation though? That ESPN story by Baxter Holmes about the Jordan 19 and the Black Mamba origin... it turns out the snakeskin concept that defined Kobe's entire identity was originally pitched for Michael Jordan, who wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Nick, Rohit, and Mike dig into why that story matters beyond the history books, what it says about how sneaker media used to work, and why moments like this one don't happen nearly enough anymore.Then the conversation shifts to Formula 1, sneaker partnerships in motorsports, where the real opportunity is, and why Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari might be more interesting for the sneaker world than anyone is talking about yet.Oh, and somewhere in there, Robbie gets off a line about MJ having too many animal nicknames that you just have to hear for yourself.Topics covered:Reebok Engine A26, adidas x Spider Superstar Super Modified, Jordan 19 Black Mamba origin story, WNBA Jordan Heir II, Hyrox vs. CrossFit, Formula 1 sneaker partnerships, NIL deals and the future of basketball culture.ESPN Story: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48016100/inside-secret-history-black-mamba-kobe-bryant-michael-jordan-air-jordan-19Nick's Story: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.com/p/sometimes-the-universe-proves-yourSUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistorySubscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@sneakerhistoryJoin our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/xJFyWmWgzaIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.comCHECK OUT OUR OTHER SHOWS:For the Formula 1 Fans - Exhaust Notes: https://exhaustnotes.fmFor the Fitted Hat Fans - Crown and Stitch: https://crownandstitch.comFor the Cars & Sneakers Fans - Cars & Kicks: https://carsxkicks.comFor the Creators & Creatives - Outside The Box: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/outside-the-box-convos-with-creators/id1050172106[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- In this episode, I sit down with my friend Rohit Krishnan - writer of the Substack newsletter Strange Loop Canon - for a hands-on conversation about what it actually looks like to build with AI agents today. Between us we're burning through tens of billions of tokens a month - I hit nearly 100 million in a single day this week - and we share what we're each running on our own machines. We dig into the quirks and surprising power of tools like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cowork, debate why AI remains stubbornly bad at good writing, and zoom out to ask what a world of trillions of agents might actually look like — and what economic infrastructure it will need. We covered: (03:15) What's on your screen right now? (04:30) OpenClaw (06:27) Rohit's agent, Morpheus (11:06) Azeem's agent, R.

In this episode of Behind the Stays, Zach Busekrus sits down with Rohit Bezewada, CEO of AirDNA, to unpack what may be the most important shift yet in short-term rentals. From Airbnb's evolving relationship with hotels to the fading “thrill” of discovery, Rohit shares what happens when a marketplace grows up — and what comes next for brand building, investing, and operating at scale. Drawing on his experience at Uber and now at the helm of one of the industry's most influential data platforms, Rohit offers a clear-eyed view of a sector moving from side hustle to institutional asset class. The conversation explores: Why Airbnb's move toward hotels signals a deeper strategic shift How short-term rentals are professionalizing — and who benefits most What the data reveals that headlines miss The coming consolidation of STR tech and the real role of AI Why confidence, not just inventory, is the next competitive edge This is a candid, future-facing conversation about where short-term rentals are headed — and how the next frontier will be built.

Enterprise AI doesn't fail because models are weak. It fails because data pipelines break, permissions drift, costs explode, and governance is treated like an annual checkbox instead of everyday operational discipline.In this episode of Intelligent Indians!, Vikram Vaidyanathan sits down with Rohit Choudhury, Founder & CEO of Acceldata, for a deep conversation on how enterprise data systems actually behave at scale and why AI makes every weak foundation visible.Rohit's founder journey mirrors the last 15 years of data infrastructure: from scaling InMobi in the pre-cloud era, to the Hadoop days at Hortonworks, to pioneering data observability, and now pushing into Agentic Data Management as enterprises move from AI pilots to production.The conversation goes deep into:1. Why AI POCs often work in one team but collapse at enterprise scale 2. The real cost of fixing data late, and why ingestion is the only place to fix it3. How AI agents change the stakes: real-time failures, hallucinations explainability and ai updates4. A practical playbook for CIOs and CDOs: SLAs, rapid experimentation, and leadership upskilling5. Why cost control is becoming existential, from reruns to cloud bills to private/hybrid AIThe “India edge” in building global enterprise companies, and what DPI × AI could unlock nextWatch the full episode to understand what it really takes to make AI work at enterprise scale.Chapters:00:00 Why AI POCs Fail at Scale in Enterprises02:30 Introducing Rohit Choudhury (Acceldata Founder)05:30 Early Days at InMobi & Rewriting the Stack 3 Times08:30 First Startup Failure & Learning Customer Obsession11:30 Birth of the Data Observability Category14:30 How Enterprise Data Pipelines Really Work (1000+ Apps)18:00 Why Enterprises Need End-to-End Data Visibility21:00 COVID Story & Missed Investment Moment24:00 Why hallucinations are dangerous for enterprises27:00 Governance in AI30:00 How Banks Should Prepare for AI at Scale (4 Steps)33:30 Why Leaders Must Learn AI Themselves (Cursor Story)36:30 From Tool Sprawl to One Agentic Platform39:30 Cost Explosion: Cloud vs Private AI42:30 Self-Healing Data & Preventing AI Hallucinations45:00 – Future of Enterprise AI & Closing ThoughtsFollow Z47Website - https://www.z47.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/z47.vc/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/z47-vc/#podcast #podcasts #future #ai #aiindia #aicourses #aiupdates

“At some point, founders have to stop babysitting the business — or growth stalls.” — Rohit KumarIn this episode of Evolving Your Workplace, Carol Schultz sits down with Rohit Kumar, Founder and CEO of Chapter Apps, to explore one of the hardest transitions for founders: knowing when hands-on leadership turns into micromanagement — and how that mindset quietly becomes a bottleneck to growth.Rohit shares the evolution of Chapter Apps, from its early days as a mobile-first learning platform to its current focus on enterprise AI solutions for sales and employee assistance. He explains why the pivot toward AI was driven not by hype, but by real customer demand — especially the need for instant, accurate answers in high-stakes sales conversations.The conversation digs into what “babysitting” actually looks like at the CEO level: testing products personally, double-checking team output, and stepping in when managers aren't driving execution forward. Rohit generously opens up about the deeper reason founders struggle to let go — fear of disappointing customers — and how confidence in the team directly affects a leader's ability to delegate.Carol and Rohit also discuss scaling across geographies, co-founding a company with a spouse across time zones, and why relocating to San Francisco has accelerated Chapter Apps' AI innovation through proximity to partners, platforms, and real-time problem solving.They close by examining growth constraints, talent challenges, inbound vs outbound sales, and whether roles like Chief of Staff and Customer Success are luxuries — or necessities — for founders who want to stop reacting and start leading.Connect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?

In the 2nd part of the 50th episode of First Principles, Rohit Chennamaneni, co-founder of Darwinbox, joins the show to talk about what changes after the early chaos of a startup fades.He explains how Darwinbox has operated without a CEO for years, how the 3 founders divide ownership of decisions instead of debating everything together, and why this structure helped them move faster as the company grew.Rohit also gets specific about product building. He talks about designing HR software that does not need training sessions or long explanations, why adoption matters more than feature depth, and how small product decisions can end up shaping behaviour across entire organisations.The conversation also turns inward. Rohit reflects on moments where intelligence stopped being the advantage he thought it was, why staying with uncomfortable problems mattered more, and how his understanding of leadership changed as Darwinbox scaled.This episode looks at company building through real decisions, and what it takes to keep going long after the excitement wears off.********This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

Nike dropped the Mind 001 and the internet had opinions. One of us already bought it and tried it, so we're debating this with actual experience instead of just hot takes. Is this innovation or gimmick? Is Nike breaking new ground or desperately trying to make us care about something... anything? What does this release signal about their bigger strategy?

In part 1 of the 50th episode of First Principles, Rohit Chennamaneni, co-founder of Darwinbox, joins the show to talk about what changes after the early chaos of a startup fades.He explains how Darwinbox has operated without a CEO for years, how the 3 founders divide ownership of decisions instead of debating everything together, and why this structure helped them move faster as the company grew.Rohit also gets specific about product building. He talks about designing HR software that does not need training sessions or long explanations, why adoption matters more than feature depth, and how small product decisions can end up shaping behaviour across entire organisations.The conversation also turns inward. Rohit reflects on moments where intelligence stopped being the advantage he thought it was, why staying with uncomfortable problems mattered more, and how his understanding of leadership changed as Darwinbox scaled.This episode looks at company building through real decisions, and what it takes to keep going long after the excitement wears off.********This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

What if nonprofits didn't have to scramble for funding every time a good opportunity appeared?In this episode of The Phoenix Pod, host Jovica Djurdjevic sits down with Rohit Padmanabhan, CFA, founder of Lotus Asset Management, to unpack why the Phoenix Club created an endowment and how it fundamentally changes the way the organization supports nonprofits.Rohit shares the thinking behind moving beyond one-off fundraising, the challenges of building an endowment from the ground up, and the guardrails required to protect capital while still putting it to work. Together, they explore how permanence, predictability, and disciplined stewardship allow the Phoenix Club to fund grants faster, partner more effectively with nonprofits, and build long-term community impact that outlasts any single board or donor.
