 EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I sit down with Prakash Kamraj, co-founder of DeCharge Network, to explore one of the most overlooked intersections of Web3 and the physical world: EV charging infrastructure. Prakash walks me through how DeCharge is building an Airbnb-style model for EV chargers, where anyone , from a business owner to a crypto community member , can host a charging station and earn passive income from it. We dig into why the B2B market is the real engine of EV growth, how DeCharge keeps the user experience dead simple with a scan-and-pay web app, and why autonomous charging powered by crypto payment rails could be the next massive wave. We also get into the surprising EV adoption stories across India, China, Southeast Asia, Ethiopia, and beyond. Whether you're an EV owner frustrated by fragmented charging apps, a crypto builder looking for real-world use cases, or an investor trying to spot where energy infrastructure is heading, this conversation is packed with sharp thinking and hard-won lessons from the ground up. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we decode the gaps in Zepto's IPO filing and the key metrics investors are still looking for. We also look at why UPI growth is slowing despite rising transaction volumes, how Cognizant's removal from the Nasdaq-100 reflects the AI-driven shift in global tech markets, and why investors are betting on consumer AI startup Equal AI with a fresh $30 million funding round.

India's UPI moment changed how money moves.But that may only be the first chapter.As millions of Indians become comfortable with digital payments, a bigger question is beginning to emerge: how will they save, invest, and build wealth over the next decade?In this episode of the Prime Venture Partners Podcast, Amit Somani speaks with Ambarish Kenghe, CEO of Angel One, about India's shift from payment adoption to wealth creation.From his journey across Google, Myntra, Google Pay, and Angel One, Ambarish has seen India's digital consumer evolve up close.

Salvation is a promise. But what if the flames refuse to burn?Summoned to the ancient, sacred steps of Manikarnika Ghat in the dead of winter, 1974, detective Vyom steps into a terrifying anomaly. The rhythmic crackle of the funeral pyres has vanished. The dead are not turning to ash. Instead, a suffocating, unnatural silence has gripped the banks of the Ganges, bringing the eternal cycle of moksha to a freezing, absolute halt.Plunged into a creeping stasis where the very laws of nature seem to be disintegrating, Vyom and his companion Sudhanshu must navigate the suffocating dread of the sacred city. As they pull at the threads of a mystery that defies all logic, every chilling clue leads them away from the safety of the burning ghats and points toward a much darker, forbidden destination. In a desperate search for answers against an expanding dead zone, the greatest danger isn't the unnatural frost seeping into their bones. It is the realization of exactly where they must go to find the source.Be warned: Some waters run far too deep.

This interview explains how artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure are transforming India's MSME lending sector. Financial institutions are moving away from traditional collateral-based lending and using alternative data, such as UPI transactions and digital activity, to assess creditworthiness more efficiently. PSL Association of India is helping drive this change by promoting ethical AI practices and supporting the adoption of the Open Credit Enablement Network (OCEN). The interview also highlights challenges like data fragmentation and limited digital literacy among small businesses. However, initiatives such as the India Stack are improving financial visibility and access to credit. Overall, it emphasizes collaboration between fintech companies, policymakers, and financial institutions to create a more inclusive and transparent lending ecosystem.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we look at why India's biggest cities continue to dominate UPI transactions despite the payment system's nationwide reach. We also break down how electric two-wheeler makers Ola Electric and Ather Energy are shifting the conversation from market share to margins, cash flow and profitability. Plus, the government is working on a unified cyber response framework as AI accelerates the speed of cyberattacks. And finally, Indian IT stocks are making a comeback, with investors increasingly viewing AI as a growth opportunity rather than a disruption risk for software and IT services companies.

PayU Finance CEO Deepak Mendiratta explains how the company is reimagining SMB credit through embedded, data‑driven lending models that overcome long‑standing barriers like irregular cash flows, limited documentation, and the high cost of small‑ticket loans. PayU uses alternative credit evaluation based on UPI transactions, GST records, and behavioural insights, enabling more accurate underwriting. Its EDI—equated daily instalment—model aligns repayments with daily cash flows, reducing interest burden and stress for small businesses. Through deep integrations with platforms like PhonePe, Swiggy, and Meesho, PayU delivers frictionless, real‑time credit access. Robust risk management combines machine learning, daily repayment visibility, and short‑tenure loans, while ethical lending, transparency, and data protection remain core principles driving sustainable, inclusive credit growth.

This interview explores how emerging FinTech infrastructure is reshaping financial inclusion in rural India, with Hitesh Kanariya of Kuberjee highlighting the rise of hyperlocal, women‑led delivery models. He explains that platforms like Aadhaar, UPI, eKYC, and Account Aggregators have made onboarding seamless, while alternative data and sachet‑sized financial products now serve farmers, SHGs, and daily‑wage earners. Structural barriers—poor connectivity, low digital literacy, limited smartphone access, and mistrust—still slow adoption, making hyperlocalisation essential. Women agents such as BC Sakhis build trust, deliver doorstep services, and bridge language and literacy gaps. Vernacular-first, mobile-native platforms further boost understanding through voice and intuitive interfaces. Kuberjee's “One Village, One Sakhi” model demonstrates a scalable, gender-inclusive blueprint for sustainable rural FinTech innovation.

At Mumbai Tech Week 2026, the conversation around “AI in Action” is shifting from hype to real-world execution.In this deep-dive conversation, GetVantage Founder Bhavik Vasa joins Ryan to discuss why India's biggest AI opportunity isn't in building trillion-parameter LLMs — but in Applied AI powered by proprietary enterprise data, digital infrastructure, and embedded finance.From MSME lending and OCEN to cashflow-based financing, underwriting automation, due diligence, and workflow intelligence — this episode explores how India can become a global powerhouse in AI-led economic productivity.Key topics covered:•⁠ ⁠Why AI FOMO around public LLMs is fading•⁠ ⁠The rise of Small Language Models (SLMs)•⁠ ⁠Proprietary data as the real competitive moat•⁠ ⁠India Stack, UPI, GST & the MSME credit gap•⁠ ⁠How GetVantage uses Applied AI for underwriting•⁠ ⁠GrowthSahay, OCEN & embedded finance infrastructure•⁠ ⁠Revenue-based financing vs founder dilution•⁠ ⁠AI-powered due diligence & tender automation•⁠ ⁠The future of invisible finance and automated enterprise workflowsIf you're attending Mumbai Tech Week, building in AI, fintech, SaaS, embedded finance, digital lending, or enterprise infrastructure — this conversation is for you.Keywords:Mumbai Tech Week, MTW 2026, AI in Action, Applied AI, Proprietary Data, Small Language Models, SLMs, India AI ecosystem, Embedded Finance, OCEN, Revenue Based Financing, MSME Credit Gap, Digital Lending India, India

Death is not an exit. The echo remains.Returning to his suffocating Delhi flat after performing his father's final rites, Soumit believes his decade-long nightmare of grueling servitude is finally over. The ashes have been scattered. The duty is fulfilled. But the heavy silence of his empty home is suddenly shattered by a terrifyingly familiar sound—the sharp, demanding ring of a brass temple bell.Trapped in the dark corridors of his own grief and exhaustion, Soumit realizes that the dragging footsteps outside his bedroom door belong to something that refuses to be laid to rest. Armed with nothing but desperate warnings and a fragile circle of salt, he must confront a presence that weaponizes his deepest guilt. But in a battle against a toxic, starving habit, the greatest danger isn't the shape shifting in the hallway.It is what happens when the obedience becomes a curse.Be warned: Some debts are never truly paid.

This episode is part of our special series on the India AI Impact Summit, examining the conversations, decisions, and debates that are shaping global AI governance. The working group was designed from the start to be bottom-up rather than top-down. Rather than starting from the positions of countries already leading in AI, the agenda was shaped through consultations, bilateral discussions, and deliberate outreach beyond official channels. The concerns that emerged were consistent: uneven concentration of compute, limited access to quality data, dependence on external platforms, and the risk that much of the global south would not be able to fully participate in or benefit from AI-driven development. The two key outcomes are the Democratic Diffusion of AI Resources charter, a collective commitment to inclusive and equitable AI development adopted in the summit's final declaration, and MAITRI, a collaborative platform designed to connect governments, researchers, and institutions to the essential building blocks of AI without each country having to start from scratch. Saurabh Garg draws a direct line between these initiatives and India's own experience with layered digital public infrastructure, pointing to the principles behind Aadhaar, UPI, and the India AI Mission as exactly what informed the working group's approach. The real work, he makes clear, begins now. Every two weeks, Interpreting India brings you diverse voices from India and around the world to explore the critical questions shaping the nation's future. We delve into how technology, the economy, and foreign policy intertwine to influence India's relationship with the global stage.As a Carnegie India production, hosted by Carnegie scholars, Interpreting India, a Carnegie India production, provides insightful perspectives and cutting-edge by tackling the defining questions that chart India's course through the next decade.Stay tuned for thought-provoking discussions, expert insights, and a deeper understanding of India's place in the world.Don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review to join the conversation and be part of Interpreting India's journey.

India is growing. But why does the average Indian still feel stuck? In this conversation with Saurabh Mukherjea, we break down what's really happening to India's middle class — from stagnant incomes and rising debt to job uncertainty and changing financial behaviour. Based on real data, field research, and on-ground stories, this episode explores: - Why people earning ₹5 lakh to ₹1 crore feel stuck - How automation is silently reducing salaries - Why India's middle class is taking on more debt than ever before - The hidden impact of UPI and easy credit - Why people are taking loans for vacations, phones, and even concerts - The rise of risky investing and massive retail losses - How social media is reshaping aspirations and spending habits - And what this means for your financial future This is not just an economic discussion. It's a reality check.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-the-need-for-pax-indica-malacca-was-blocked-1001-years-ago-hormuz-is-choked-now-14005673.htmlIn 1025 CE, exactly 1,001 years ago, Emperor Rajendra Chola sent an armada (probably the largest fleet in history before the advent of steam) 4,000 kilometers clear across the Indian Ocean. It was on a mission strangely familiar to us in 2026: open up a critical strait that was being choked by a littoral state. The thalassocratic SriVijaya Empire of Sumatra was closing the strait and imposing tolls, as well as winking at a little piracy.The strait in question then was Malacca. The Chola goal: to reopen Indian trade with Southeast Asia and China. Remarkably, the Cholas were not interested in territorial conquest, only in freedom of navigation.It is ironic that today, it is again a question of free trade, that shibboleth that has been waved about for decades (although that was a euphemism for ‘managed trade that benefits the West').The difference between then and now? The salient fact is that Rajendra Chola was able to open Malacca with his wooden ships. With all his aircraft carriers and F-35s and missiles, President Trump is unable to open Hormuz. This must mean something, although reasonable people may differ on what that is. My claim is that it means India has the opportunity, in fact the need, to step into the breach.Maritime trade is severely disturbed today, and it is increasingly a disaster for innocent bystanders bereft of oil and gas. And it is increasingly the Indian Ocean that matters: specifically the sea-lanes from Hormuz to Malacca, which handle a significant portion of both oil/gas trade and goods trade globally.Geo-politics and geo-economics, Mahan's and Spykman's theoriesIt is a reasonable conjecture that the locus of power has shifted over the centuries: in the 19th century, the Atlantic was supreme; in the 20th century, the Pacific; and in the 21st century, the most important ocean is the Indian Ocean. Asia has returned to center stage. In support of this assertion, see how the economic center of gravity of the world has returned to the vicinity of India, after the European colonial interlude.It is therefore appropriate to ask what it would take for India to regain its former keystone role in the Indian Ocean. Of course geography offers it to the country on a platter. From both Alfred Thayer Mahan's theory of naval power, and from Nicholas Spykman's Rimland theory, India could be, or should be, the dominant power in the region: it is almost literally India's ocean.Mahan's ideas, updated for today, suggest that a strong navy should protect a large merchant marine fleet, manage trade, and control choke-points. The preferred hardware may have changed from battleships to aircraft carriers and especially nuclear submarines these days, but the basic idea remains: speak softly but carry a big stick with a force-projection navy.Spykman's Rimland theory seems more appropriate in current circumstances than the Heartland theory popularized by Halford MacKinder. The Eurasian land mass may well be subject to control by a coastal hegemon or an alliance that controls the sea lanes and choke points. Despite pipelines and rail-borne containers, maritime trade still dominates.Spice Route >> Silk RoadA stark reminder of this is the comparison between the fabled ‘Silk Road' and the ancient ‘Spice Route'. Despite all the breathless propaganda about the Silk Road, it is abundantly clear that sea-borne trade was an order of magnitude greater, because a caravan of 500 camels, braving deserts, bandits and so on across central Asia couldn't possibly carry more than 100 tons of goods; whereas an ocean-going stitched teak ship, like a single uru from Beypore, Kerala, could easily carry 400 tons. And the monsoon winds provided predictable, seasonal propulsion.India's prowess was built on the monsoons. By mastering the seasonal winds, Indian mariners turned the ocean into a highway. This made India the supreme trading power. Merchants from Rome and Egypt traded with Chinese and Southeast Asian counterparts on the Malabar and Coromandel coasts, leaving behind troves of coins as evidence.The SwitchThe remarkable thing is that these merchants did not even need to meet each other physically, because India provided the “multi-protocol switch”: translating their diverse needs and offering the conveniences of an entrepot, while also itself producing coveted, high-value products such as black pepper. For example, a Greek buyer could buy something from a Chinese seller, and settle the transaction using Indian credit.And how did India do it? By providing the “switching fabric”, such as the ports, the credit systems, and the security, that allowed these disparate worlds to exchange products and wealth without ever meeting.This is much like what a network gateway such as TIBCO does for packets of different kinds of data (in passing, how appropriate that TIBCO was founded by an Indian-American, Vivek Ranadive!). Hardware switches, eg. from Cisco Systems, have been around for a while, but TIBCO abstracted that functionality in software to connect those with different protocols.India already has many of the ingredients of the switching fabric in the India Stack. Using protocols like UPI, e-KYC, Account Aggregation, Central Bank Digital Currency, and ONDC, especially along with distributed-ledger blockchain-based Smart Contracts, it should be possible to provide end-to-end transparent and reliable multi-party trade support which complements the SWIFT payment system. Complement, not necessarily replace.The same pattern held with India's age-old trade system. The ports were on the Malabar Coast, such as Muziris; on the Coromandel coast, such as Arikkamedu; and on the Konkan Coast, such as Bharuchcha. The credit systems were run by temples which acted as both bankers and venture capitalists for the trading guilds. The security: well, that's what Rajendra Chola demonstrated in 1025 CE.Alas, medieval India lost its maritime focus. So did China. Both became insular, and were overwhelmed by invaders, including Turkics and Europeans. In India's case, the Turkic invaders were land-focused powers, although there were isolated maritime attempts (e.g. the Maratha Navy, Travancore defeating the Dutch in an amphibious battle at Colachel in 1741, etc.)Now, however, there are new ports. The most interesting is the Port of Trivandrum (Vizhinjam). This deep-water container transhipment port is only 10 nautical miles away from the Hormuz-Malacca sea lanes, and now when Dubai is closed, it reportedly has a backlog of a hundred container ships waiting to be berthed. Then there is the upcoming Vadhavan container port in Maharashtra, and the Galathea Bay container port in Great Nicobar, which overlooks the mouth of Malacca.Pax Indica todayThe modern idea of Pax Indica borrows from both perspectives: hard power and a switch. An Internet search brings up the fact that it was my friend Bapa Rao and I who first started talking about it in terms of India being the benevolent hegemon in the Indian Ocean, way back in the 1990s.Later, Shashi Tharoor wrote in his 2011 book Pax Indica that it could be “a peace system based on cooperation, stability, and rule‑based order in Asia and beyond, in which rising India helps shape the rules of the road rather than impose its will through hegemony.” That is, along roughly the same lines as the “multi protocol switch” or entrepot concept.Pax Indica is not an empire; it is an ecosystem. There are three aspects: military power, the full exploration of the multiprotocol switch, and the port-led development policy. Bapa Rao and I will consider these in a future article. Briefly, though, here is what these entail.* Project Power: Use a 3-carrier, 18-24-submarine navy to ensure no single power can close the ocean's gates.* Enable Trade: Use the Digital India Stack to act as the “Multi-Protocol Switch” for a fragmented world, plus super-ports like Vizhinjam (Trivandrum).* Secure the Choke Points: Be ready, like the Cholas, to act decisively when a “Srivijaya-style” blockade threatens the common good.Hard power needs to come through the acquisition of a blue water navy: at least three aircraft carrier groups, one for the Arabian Sea (Hormuz), one for the Bay of Bengal (Malacca), and one in maintenance, refit and upgrades.Even though drones and missiles have rendered them less dominant than in earlier times, carrier groups are still important for air superiority and power projection. But an ever-more critical factor is “area denial” by nuclear attack submarines (SSBN) that can launch second strike nuclear missiles as part of the “triad”, of which India should have at least three to four. In addition, there should be at least a dozen silent AIP-equipped diesel-electrics for securing straits, and at least 6-12 SSN (possibly leased) to enhance blue-water reach.“The IOR must become an Indian lake,” said General Raj Shukla on X. I agree: Not as a territory of conquest, but as a sanctuary of trade, where India sits at the center, as the protocol provider that makes world trade work again, as in millennia past.1500 words, 27 Apr, 2026Here's the notebookLM.google.com AI-generated video about this article: This is a public episode.

We're creating our Mount Rushmores this week and it's getting controversial. Well... for us. We ranked our top four fast food items, Counselor Zachariah's favorite places to just walk around, and then Counselor Jonathan built an Anti Mount Rushmore of his most hated fictional characters of all time. Some of you will agree, and some of you will be on the wrong side of Shady Birch history. Either way, leave a comment I guess. Then we've got an 80-year-old cafe owner who spent a month baking a 6,000-pound carrot cake for his birthday. The Philadelphia airport set a Guinness World Record by lining up 1,291 cheesesteaks between terminals (kind of a nightmare imo). We're also ranting about a dog that would not stop barking in a hotel room, having an anxiety attack at TJ Maxx, why fireflies are the greatest bug alive, and Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback deserves more love. Its a fabulous episode, duh.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Want BONUS CONTENT? Join our PATREON!Works Cited:➜ Hooper, Ben.

Škorpion na fabričkoj Apriliji položio i test Amerike - slavio u nedelju na stazi koja je nekada bila carstvo Marca Marqueza. Ali, pao, ponovo, u subotu u sprintu, uz spektakularnu pobedu klupskog kolege Jorgea Martina, koji kao da vreba reprizu 2024... Šta dalje za Ducati i Marqueza?

Sezona kontroverzi se nastavlja, kako surovim testom legendarne staze Suzuka, koja ne prašta elektro Formuli 1, tako i činjenicom da trenutno najbrži tim F1 jasno radi nešto što je veoma kreativno tumačenje pravila, a Međunarodna automobilska federacija (FIA) kaže da pošto ne donosi prednost je u redu...Može li Ferrari u svemu ovome čak i do pobede?OMV, ZVANIČNI PARTNER LAP 76 ⛽️Preuzmite OMV MyStation mobilnu aplikaciju, podržite Lap 76 - https://www.omv.co.rs/sr-rs/mystationPretvorite poene u trenutke radosti - svaka kupovina na OMV stanicama vam donosi poene, koje možete pretvoriti u trenutke radosti u prodavnici OMV-a.Pri kupovini goriva, preporučujemo MaxxMotion, za koji ostvarujete i popust!

Retired FBI Agent Stewart Fillmore was trained to break down evidence to solve crimes and build cases. Here, he focuses on the forensics of the JFK assassination and the likelihood that the hole in the front of the late President's throat was an entry wound, not an exit wound as the FBI and Warren Report had concluded.Stewart walks us through the evidence he's gathered, and what it tells him about the nature of the crime. Importantly, his account aligns with the prior testimony of HBH guest Tosh Plumlee: Namely, that there was a shooter to the left front of the President's limousine, from the top of the South Knoll and that gunman was captured in photo taken by UPI  reporter Frank Cancellare.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

SEASON 4 EPISODE 56: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In destroying The Washington Post yesterday, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. Democratic leaders must commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially. Every would-be president, senator, representative must vow to break the oligarchs - Bezos, Musk, Trump, and all the rest. Bezos first hollowed out the Post to make it servile to Trump and his gang. Now he's destroyed its foreign and sports desks, and its viability as a counterweight to the anti-democracy forces abroad in the land. All so he could spend $75,000,000 or more on a vanity project designed to tell Trump a life: that his wife is an attractive "movie star." We are not going back to the America of 1885. We must bankrupt Jeff Bezos. (And I apologize for the slipshod nature of this episode. I'm under the weather, throat bad, was planning to postpone this episode but this could not wait. Please forgive for the extemporaneous nature of the commentary; the rest of the show is interesting but not new) B-Block (30:00) OLYMPICS TIME: As the 2026 games begin in Italy let me take you back to the most famous winter games yet: the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, which I covered as a 21-year old rookie with United Press International (while my bosses tried to teach me how to work and drink at the same time). C-Block (42:00) MORE WITH JAMES THURBER: Continuing the broadcasting theme, his first person story of the timelessness of on-air nerves and the labyrinth that is radio, TV, streaming or any other medium in any century: "How To Relax While Broadcasting."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
