Being immune to the charms of poetry is a crime that is its own punishment, the Sanskritic tradition tells us. Join us as we discover the allure of Sanskrit and Prakrit love poetry and the travails of translating doe-eyes and elephant-thighs into English with Anusha Rao and Suhas Mahesh, co-translators of the verse anthology, How to Love in Sanskrit (HarperCollins 2024). How to Love in Sanskrit is a poetic exploration of the maze of modern dating: flirting, daydreaming, yearning, and breaking up, through the eyes of Kalidasa, Bana, Vidya, and many other, often anonymous gifted poets. Moderated by Radhika Chadha, the translators will discuss their inspiration for the book, their approach to translation, misconceptions about Sanskrit poetry, and the challenges of translating pre-modern poetry, drawing from both classic and forgotten texts to paint a picture of what love feels like in Sanskrit. The session will conclude with a reading of their favourite verses from the book and a Q&A session with the audience. In this episode of BIC Talks, Anusha Rao and Suhas Mahesh will be in conversation with Radhika Chadha .This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in January 2025.

Vidya Peters, CEO of DataSnipper, discusses how artificial intelligence is changing the age-old profession of auditing, why it's good to be sceptical of grand government announcements, but there is genuine excitement around Labour's AI plans and why European founders should look beyond their borders when fundraising.   DataSnipper provides audit and finance teams with an intelligent automation platform to reduce the burden of overly manual auditing. Peters believes that alongside auditing, AI has massive potential to relieve the intense pressure on Britain's public services, in particular for the NHS and education system.

In this episode, Monika explains why Indian stock markets, after a four-year bull run, are now experiencing choppy waters. She discusses how markets sometimes grow ahead of the economy's fundamentals, leading to short-term volatility. She highlights that while Sensex has returned a remarkable 23% per year over the last four years, long-term averages show more moderate returns. Investors should prepare for lower returns in the near future, possibly high single digits or low double digits, aligning with historical averages. Monika also examines the role of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in recent market fluctuations. FIIs withdrew over Rs 88,000 crore from Indian equities in October 2024, partly to rebalance portfolios and shift funds back to the US amid election uncertainties. However, she notes that strong domestic investments through mutual funds and retirement accounts have cushioned the impact, preventing a larger market drop. Monika advises investors to stay focused on asset allocation rather than reacting to short-term FII moves. The episode also addresses estate planning, with Monika stressing the importance of preparing an efficient asset handover. She recommends essential steps, like naming nominees on all financial accounts, keeping property documents accessible, and writing a registered will. By organizing assets now, families can avoid unnecessary stress and financial setbacks later on. In listener queries, Richa Kukreja, a single working woman, seeks guidance on building a retirement corpus of INR 5 crore by age 60 through mutual funds. Sahil Kapoor from Dallas asks about tracking mutual fund returns and whether XIRR or annualized returns are more effective for this purpose. Lastly, Vidya, nearing retirement, shares her concerns about protecting her investments amidst global uncertainties and the potential impact on her mutual fund portfolio.

Vidya Krishnan, Chief Learning Officer at Ericsson, combines her engineering experience, systems thinking, and love of learning to connect core upskilling with corporate strategy. For Vidya, learning at the speed of technology development requires a learning mindset and future-focused dynamic approach to jobs and skills. Vidya explains how a project marketplace enables internal talent mobility: redesigning work with a skills-focus; facilitating evolution to ‘resource fluidity'; and allowing organic shifts into emerging areas as employees gravitate towards where work is flowing. Vidya recommends stability management with change management.     TAKEAWAYS   [02:06] Vidya studies electrical engineering influenced by her family's engineering legacy.   [03:16] Deeply admiring engineering and loving learning, Vidya admits she had ‘will before skill'.   [04:14] Vidya promotes internships: good summertime feedback boosts her while some college studies challenge.   [05:07] For personal reasons Vidya leaves AT&T joining Nortel (acquired by Ericsson) in Dallas.   [06:19] Always an engineer, now focused on people's experiences in L&D, Vidya loves teaching.   [08:24] Learning is as the heart of every transformation for Vidya's team and workplace.   [09:19] Learning even more from failure, by addressing both shame and ignorance after mistakes.   [11:11] Technology and people are inherently upgradable—ongoing learning at a tech company.   [12:34] How engineers need "power skills" like storytelling and managing stakeholders.   [14:05] Looking creatively to other industries, like aviation, to solve engineering challenges.   [16:49] Vidya has a double life for three years learning and networking at learning conferences.   [18:54] Managers want her to advance in engineering, but Vidya is determined to change field.   [19:45] Vidya overcomes self-doubt and family concerns while transitioning her career.   [21:15] After three years, Vidya transitions horizontally into technical training for customers.   [22:56] Becoming a studio offering digital learning using multimedia and experiential techniques.   [23:41] How to create capabilities that customers will pay for and employees value.   [27:00] Systems thinking to describe work's three dimensions: digital ecosystem, business system, and culture system.   [30:14] A systems vs programmatic approach to work is strategic and natural at a tech company.   [31:20] Skills development is vital and therefore must be connected to company strategy.   [33:21] Constructing a framework where skills are derivative of corporate strategy.   [34:20] Starting with the one skill that is most consequential to the strategy—less is more.   [36:20] Two sets of skills—global critical skills (top down) and job role skills (bottom up).   [37:30] Digitalizing a job architecture starts development of a skills taxonomy.   [38:23] Getting on the skills games board through credentialing and contribution.   [39:13] To be future focused, skills and job roles are digitalized into a relational database.   [40:40] Skills' journey phases: initialize, mobilize, and capitalize advancing with winnable games.   [43:10] "Resource fluidity" is where employees' skills are not confined to their job role—reskill and constantly redeploy.   [44:45] A talent marketplace that is a project marketplace redesigns work to put skills to work.   [47:43] Disaggregating work into projects enables work packages doable outside of people's day jobs—a third space—to develop new skills.   [50:30] Enabling employees to gravitate towards emerging areas from eroding areas.   [51:35] The hypothesis that progressive career reinvention at scale will pay for itself.   [52:25] A project marketplace creates capability and expands capacity.   [54:50] Partnership is the new leadership, and co-creation and co-ownership are key to execution.   [56:10] Stability management needs to accompany change management.   [57:16] How business cross-functionality can allow varied thinking and ‘wicked' problem solving.   [58:13] Project marketplace decouples work from many traditional boundaries.   [01:00:21] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Start now. Start small with one critical skill. Connect it to strategy, which is done systematically.     RESOURCES   Vidya Krishnan on LinkedIn Ericsson.com Books mentioned: Range by David Epstein The Problem with Change by Ashley Goodall Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Lalou     QUOTES (edited)   “If we give people the opportunity to put their skills to work, this is actually very healthy for the company because we are organically self-shaping away from eroding areas into emerging areas …people naturally gravitating to where the work is flowing.”   “You have a dynamic platform that's digitalized for jobs and skills to stay in lockstep with industry evolution: what's emerging, what's eroding, and for that stuff to easily automatically flow through every other system in the company where people are making decisions about who to hire, how to evolve their career, how to specify the requirements for this requisition, what job roles need to go out the window, what new job roles need to be introduced.”   “How do you put learning in the flow of work and work in the flow of learning so that it's happening to people experientially?”   “Work has three dimensions: there's an ecosystem, a business system and a culture system.”   “The logic was that if things that are vital should be systematic rather than programmatic so that they happen no matter what, because that's what vital things should do. And then you fundamentally believe that skills are vital, as I do, because they are what connect strategy to execution. So if you believe that, then it follows you must take a systematic approach.”   “Strategy without skills is a daydream. Skills and execution without strategy is a nightmare.”   “Capabilities are what create execution of the strategy.” “It's a means to an end. What's the end? It's to execute strategy. Therefore, it has to be systematically connected to strategy.”   “Partnership is a new leadership and co creation and co ownership is actually the key to execution, which is not clean and it may be a little bit messy.”

Die Antwort könnte direkt vor dir liegen – oder besser gesagt: in dir. In dieser Folge der FlowGrade Show dreht sich alles um Breathwork und die transformative Kraft des bewussten Atmens. Ich freue mich sehr, meine guten Freunde Vidya und Klaus Ulbricht als Gäste zu begrüßen.

We know we are supposed to wear sunscreen. We know sun exposure can increase our risk for skin cancer. So how do we reconcile our desire for that "desirable summer glow" with the risk of medical harm? Your Doctor Friends get these texts all the time, especially post-summer solstice: "If I wear sunscreen, what SPF should I use? Is chemical or mineral better? Is it actually waterproof? And I've heard it can get into my bloodstream, what's that all about??"  Friends, are you ready to soak up the sun…safely? As is standard with Your Doctor Friends, we were able to find one of OUR doctor friends to come on and clear this all up. Welcome Vidya Shivakumar, MD! Dr. Shivakumar is a Dermatologist at Rush University Medical Center, board-certified by the American Academy of Dermatology since 2015. She provides comprehensive skin (and all things Dermatology) care at her bustling academic practice in Chicago at RUSH. She is active in research, teaching, and has presented many times in both the community setting, scientific arena, and in news media. AND NOW she graciously agreed to come chat with us to give us the scoop on the goop we put on our skin to protect ourselves from the sun! Topics covered in today's episode include: What is a sunburn? What are short and long term consequences of a sunburn? Why do some people burn and some people tan? Does this change people's risk of harm? Do burns affect kids skin differently than adult skin? Are there long term consequences to burns earlier in life? Is there a right or wrong way to put on sunscreen? What is the best SPF to choose? What's the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen? Is it actually waterproof? When should we reapply? If I wear sunscreen, does that mean I won't tan? What's better, aerosol or regular tube form? Can I become vitamin D deficient from wearing sunscreen? What about "oral sunscreen", or "sunburn reduction pills"? Do they work? Does that take the place of regular sunscreen application? Here are some great FAQs from the American Academy of Dermatology about sunscreen. Thanks for tuning in, friends!

Nadeem was tasked with picking a movie that starts with "K" and decided to go with a mother of a story for the next movie revieew in 2012's thriller, "Kahaani". Mita and Nadeem discuss rape and sexual assault. Very casual conversations.  

The day that we gave this lecture was an exceedingly important day: Akshaya Tritiya! Because the sun and moon are in very exalted positions and because of the association of this day to a series of auspicious events in Puranic Hinduism (the day Mā Ganga came down into the earth from the heavens, the day Vyāsa began dictating the Mahābhārata to Ganesh, the day Yudishthira received his unlimited food bowl, the day that Parvati appeared as Annapurna to feed everyone among other things), today is typically regarded as a great day to  buy gold, begin new projects, embark on new ventures and most importantly, do spiritual practice. Whatever is started on this day while endure for a long time, if not forever and whatever spiritual practices are performed go extra hard and have a bigger impact in our lives. The TLDR of this is: it's max XP day, kula. But also what's especially important for us is that this day was also Mātangī Jayanti. So to honour the occasion, we decided to say a few things about Nīla Sarasvatī/Mātangī and the Daśamahavidyās as a whole as our humble prayer to the goddess in her auspicious Candāla form!Lectures happen live on zoom every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and Friday at 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lectures. It is free and open to the public.
