निकोलाई टैंगन बात करते हैं Snowflake के CEO श्रीधर रामास्वामी से। Snowflake एक डेटा प्लेटफ़ॉर्म है जो दुनिया की आधी सबसे बड़ी कंपनियों को चलाता है। इस बातचीत में वे समझते हैं कि डेटा और AI की दुनिया में असल में क्या हो रहा है।

दोनों इन बातों पर गहराई से चर्चा करते हैं: Snowflake सिर्फ़ इस्तेमाल के हिसाब से पैसे लेता है (कंजम्पशन-बेस्ड प्राइसिंग), और यही बात इसे आम सॉफ़्टवेयर कंपनियों से अलग बनाती है। श्रीधर अब मानते हैं कि AI मॉडल बनाने वाली कंपनियाँ टेक इंडस्ट्री में सबसे बड़ा ख़तरा हैं—बाक़ी किसी से भी ज़्यादा। और AI एजेंट अब हर चीज़ बदल रहे हैं—डेटा पाइपलाइन से लेकर सॉफ़्टवेयर इंजीनियरिंग तक।

श्रीधर अपनी कंपनी Neva के बारे में भी बात करते हैं—उसे शुरू करना और फिर उसका नाकाम होना, और इससे उन्होंने क्या सीखा। साथ ही वे उन मूल्यों के बारे में बताते हैं जिन्होंने उन्हें तमिलनाडु से टेक इंडस्ट्री के शिखर तक पहुँचाया: मेहनत, हर हाल में ढल जाना, और हार न मानना।

If anyone can tell the story of how Norway built the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, it's Jens Stoltenberg. As the fund marks its 30th anniversary, Nicolai Tangen sits down with Norway's Finance Minister and former NATO Secretary General to trace the decisions that turned oil revenues into $2 trillion in national savings. They discuss why Britain and Norway diverged so dramatically despite producing similar volumes of oil, the thinking behind the spending rule, and the risk of complacency when wealth feels guaranteed. Stoltenberg also explains his reasoning behind suspending the ethics council, the paradox of excluding defence companies Norway itself purchases from, and what he believes will matter most for the fund in the next 30 years.

सच में बेहतरीन बिज़नेस को बाकी कंपनियों से अलग क्या बनाता है? हेज फंड SurgoCap Partners की founder माला गांवकर, Nicolai Tangen के साथ बात करती हैं कि ऐसी कंपनियों को कैसे पहचाना जाए जिनके पास मजबूत और टिकाऊ फायदे हैं। वे समझाती हैं कि कैसे पुरानी टेक्नोलॉजी नए तरीकों से बाज़ार में उथल-पुथल मचाती है, क्यों वे अपनी इन्वेस्टमेंट टीम को जानबूझकर छोटा रखती हैं, और कैसे डेटा साइंस सोच की गलतियों को कम करने में मदद करता है। माला अपने इन्वेस्टमेंट के खुले अनुभव शेयर करती हैं—जैसे Nokia को शॉर्ट करने की गलती और NVIDIA को बेचने के बाद दोबारा न देखने का पछतावा। वे अपने करियर को क्रिएटिव राइटिंग और ग्लोबल हेल्थ में समाजसेवा के साथ बैलेंस करने की बात भी करती हैं। $6 बिलियन assets के साथ, SurgoCap यह साबित करता है कि फोकस और जिज्ञासा ही नतीजे लाते हैं।
