Designing Tomorrow with Ashutosh
Long conversations on AI, founders, and building the future. It's where I do my most unhurried thinking out loud: the best single reference for a producer sizing up fit.

What I love talking about
If any of these are your beat, we'll have a good conversation.
Building AI from India
What it takes to build a world-class AI company outside the usual valleys: talent, constraints, and the advantages nobody talks about.
Agent-native companies
The shift from software that answers to software that acts, and how founders can rebuild their orgs around agents rather than bolting them on.
AI literacy for kids
Why the children least likely to be handed these tools need them most, and what teaching them looks like in practice.
Music and machine learning
What a lifetime of playing instruments taught me about pattern, improvisation, and the way machines are learning to compose.
