A lot of people question if one person wrote the Mahabharata. Maybe, Maybe Not. But the critical question is whether something so complex can ever be written in the modern era irrespective of the number of people used. For those amazed by the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, remember that the Mahabharata is roughly 7X the length of the Iliad and Odyssey combined and 15X the length of the Christian Bible. Amish conducted a pop quiz, asking us the number of Indian manuscripts in existence. We

The oldest known written melody is the Hurrian Hymn Number 6, from around 1400 BC. Closer home, Indian classical music is one of the oldest unbroken musical traditions in the world. Its origin can be traced to recitations of Vedic scriptures i.e. 6000 years ago. Similarly, the history of art extends from prehistoric cave paintings thru Byzantine, Baroque, Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism all the way to modern Pop art and Minimalism. The Indus Valley probably marks the recorded start of Indian Art

Modern OTT - a land grab in Zombieland

2022/08/26

Did you know that the average human attention span is just 8.25 seconds? (Shorter than a goldfish). That is a 25% drop between 2000 and 2015. We are a hyper-distracted lot. At the office, we check our email inbox 11 times an hour. We pick up our phone more than 1,500 times weekly, once every 5.5 mins. The average time we watch an internet video is 2.7 minutes. But OTT consumption is spiralling; we consume 38 hours of content every month (equal to a work week). The market is booming; the platforms

Horses, Pianos and Collaboration: Office Tech

The Holy Grail of the modern enterprise is the Happy and Motivated Employee. Do you think employees would be more productive, collaborative, happier and super motivated if they had better tech tools? What if you allowed them to relocate whenever they wished to with their pianos and horses at company cost (read musical instruments and pets)? Has the pandemic changed our value systems and what we want in the workplace? How about how you handled emails while you were OOO (Out Of Office, silly)? Do you

India is home to 105 unicorns with a total valuation of $ 338.50 B; 19 of these were added to date in 2022. In contrast, France created one unicorn in the last 2 years. Despite this euphoria, we do not fully understand or appreciate the far-reaching impact of the tech industry on India's development march. Apart from being a $200B industry ($178B exports), tech changed the fabric of the nation: Diversity and inclusion - 5M direct employees, 1.8M of whom are women Transparency - first to adopt GAAP

Promise of a Better World - Meet Intelligent Automation

2022/08/07

Pascal Bornet talks to us about Intelligent Automation (IA) and the Promise Of A Better Life In 2018 alone, over $5 trillion (6% of global GDP) was lost due to fraud. The economic value of medical errors in the US is almost $1 trillion; 86% of those are administrative. A 2017 Medliminal Healthcare Solutions study found that 80% of US medical billings contain at least minor errors — creating unnecessary annual health care spending of $68 billion. An ILO report “estimates that the annual cost to the

Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork says an old English proverb. COVID has made all of us very aware of our overall health and wellness needs. By 2025, India will need an additional 1.5M doctors and 2.2M nurses. Life expectancy at that time will be 70 years with about 90M diabetics. Unless we shift to a new way of looking at managing healthcare, we will be in a constant state of catch-up. Thanks to the 2k+ health tech startups (of which 350+ are funded and 4 are unicorns), we believe

With this episode, we kick off a new theme - Everyday Tech and home automation is a natural choice for a first episode. The earliest reference to a smart home we found was a short story by Ray Bradbury in 1950 called “There Will Come Soft Rains”. It was about a smart house going about its daily routine in the year 2026. It wakes the family, cooks a perfect breakfast, cleans the tables, and so on. The story does have a morbid undertone - but more of that later. From fiction to nerdiness. Intended for

Yes - this is a long episode. But so is every story worth listening to. Imagine Frodo reaching Mordor in 30 min OR Bran Stark ascending the Iron Throne in an hour OR Thanos dying in a single movie Could the Wachowskis have made Matrix as a 30 min video or Francis Ford Coppola made Godfather as a short film? These are rhetorical questions really! Some data snapshots of UPI UPI transactions are equal to all debit and credit card transactions in the country 40% of payments (by value) are digital

Kicking off our "Been There, Done That" Series with the Chief Architect of the India Stack, Pramod Varma. In this multi-part tête-à-tête with him, we naturally begin with what started it all - Aadhaar. Rather than get into complex descriptions, we thought we will just leave you with some facts: Trust - 90% of people trust that their data are safe in the Aadhaar system and 61% of welfare beneficiaries trust that Aadhaar prevents others from accessing their benefits Inclusion - 49% of people used

And this phenomenon has been used to express some of history's most powerful ideas as well. “Veni, Vidi, Vici.” (“I came, I saw, I conquered”) Julius Caesar. “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.“ (“Liberty.

Nothing like a spot of nostalgic DDLJ to get you all warm and fuzzy. And if you ever think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments. India has made the world of digital payments look like “choti baatein” (translates to "no big deal really") but did you know that in FY 2021 alone, we recorded 44 BN digital payments worth Rs. 5554 crores. Ab yeh mat puchna crore mein kitne zero hote hain 😎. Digital payments has democratized finance like never before – har shahar, har

That got your attention, didn’t it 😀. Staying on the movie theme, do you know what The Big Lebowski, North by North West, Three Amigos, The Great Dictator, and The Talented Mr.Ripley have in common. You are right. They are all about mistaken identity. Unlike when we are mistaken for someone else in our day-to-day lives which is kind of a mundane occurrence; in movies, this could have far-reaching consequences. Which brings us to Aadhaar. Does any of you believe that this plot line would even be

Ridiculam Quaestiones - that is us casting a super Harry Potter spell that will hold you spellbound as we reveal some mind-twisting possibilities. But honestly - it only means funny questions in Latin. And adequately captures what we like to do - tickle your intellect, make you research areas of interest and get you to think more expansively. Always forcing you to look at tech topics through the lens of finance, economics, philosophy, history, and more. This season promises to be even more

Since Top Gun is the flavour of the month and is also the flavour of sequels, we will shamelessly reuse an analogy from there. Commander Mike Metcalf - call sign "Viper." says this to the class - "Gentlemen, you are the top 1% of all naval aviators - the elite, the BEST of the best. We'll make you better." And he goes on to add "Gentlemen - this school is about combat. There are no points for second place. Dismissed." 3 Techies Banter is a shade different. We are not about making the best of the

People who inhabit the tech world do odd things. Take everyone's favourite tech company Apple for example. Did you know that when you agree to the T&Cs for iTunes, you agree not to use it to make nuclear or chemical weapons? Or the rumoured conditions where the warranty of your Apple computer is voided if you are a smoker? Am sure there is a technicality hidden here somewhere :-).

Tech that makes Elections Tick

Mark Twain humorously (we hope) said, "If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it." While that does sound terribly discouraging, we can only counteract that with George Jean Nathan, who said, "Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote". Elections are important and what is important always seems to involve Technology. In this episode, we talk with Anirudh Singh, an ex-alum of I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee), to understand what role tech plays in

This song, composed and recorded by Normal Span (King Radio) 1936, is aptly the title of our Women's Day Special episode. Many a crooner has rendered this song in their voice - from Joan Baez to Harry Belafonte to the Carpenters, Robert Palmer and even the Grateful Dead. In this podcast, the women outnumbered the men. Did we need to prove a point? Not at all. We just did it because we could. And you should too - at every possible opportunity. So why do we say that? If all countries matched our

Kids today use it in various ways, including in times of grief, such as during the recent Jacksonville shooting tribute stream. But do you know where it originated? Permit us to enlighten you. It goes back to 2014 when Activision released Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. In the game, you, the player, are a USMC Private Jack Mitchell, fighting off North Korean invaders / terrorist
