Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode I chat about all things life with my dear friend, Pooja, a nurse, (ex-)photographer, skincare guru and now the founder of Amala Skin Therapy & Aesthetics, a clinic that offers a range of skincare and aesthetics services based in east London. I've always loved chatting to Pooja because not only is she super chill, she's also extremely insightful and self-aware. We cover everything from not really knowing what you want to do in life, to perceptions around cultural appropriation on social media vs in real life, to what working with extremely high profile clients on Harley Street has taught her, to skincare to just trusting the process.

vor 27 Tagen39:34

39:34

Meet Amaan, the 21 year old visionary behind the disruptive jewellery brand Basliq. He recently launched an official collection at Bloomingdale’s for Wicked The Movie—a collaboration that stemmed from a chance encounter with Cynthia Erivo (the actress who plays Elphaba in the film) at the Loewe store on Bond Street, leading to an unexpected friendship. Amaan shares with us how he’s built his brand through raw authenticity, being in the right place at the right time and maintaining genuine relationships, with icons like Bella and Gigi Hadid, Beyoncé, Maya Jama, and Doja Cat championing his designs, as well as being one of the first South Asian designers and the youngest designer in history to style for the Met Gala. We also dive into his mixed Pakistani-Indian heritage, growing up in Manchester and now calling Dubai his home. At this point in his life, Amaan has already understood what many spend their twenties (and beyond) figuring out—his purpose: to create a brand that every cool girl you can think of is wearing. Episode chapters: (0:00) - Introduction (2:51) - How Bella Hadid wore his jewellery (6:43) - Authenticity in the industry (8:37) - Growing up half Pakistani half Indian (11:09) - Creative process (13:41) - Jewellery production process (15:25) - Getting to work with Doja Cat (18:05) - There is no break in fashion (24:45) - Global representation in the fashion industry (28:03) - Key takeaways from running a global jewellery business (29:25) - Pay young designers fairly (34:32) - If Miuccia Prada isn’t on your moodboard, you’re doing something wrong (37:35) - What does Amaan have strong game in?

Nina Davuluri on Breaking the Mould 1:06:25

1:06:25

In this episode, we sit with Nina, the first South Asian woman to be crowned Miss America in history. This year, she celebrated 10 years since being crowned, and we spend some time reflecting on those days as well as discussing all the advocacy work she now does to help women embark on their self-love journey. When Nina became Miss America, it never occurred to her that she would face immense backlash, both from media outlets in the US as well as in India, where she was deemed too ‘dark-skinned’ to ever be crowned Miss India. Nina took her time to process the negativity and returned with a strong, intentional message. She delivered a TED talk, opening up about her experience and the price she paid for being the first among her demographic to hold this title. She created ‘COMPLEXion’, a documentary aiming to challenge the archaic notions that exist around global perceptions around skin colour. She also wrote to CEOs of major CPG companies including Unilever, the creators of skin lightening cream formerly known as Fair & Lovely, as well as L’Oreal which she now sits on the DEI board of. She was instrumental in the companies ditching terms such as ‘fair’ and ‘light’ in their product marketing.…

In this conversation (featuring an adorable furry friend) we sit with Avisha, the founder of Friendsline, a UK based charity that for the past 10 years has been running mental health, mindfulness and yoga workshops for women and girls in India and Nepal who have faced gender-based violence. Avisha has tirelessly worked on this initiative for the majority of her 20s, and now having stepped into her early 30s, with all the life changes that it has brought with it, is considering whether it's time to move onto pastures new. She kindly shares where she is at in her journey of accepting the evolution in her life, and the confusion it can create around her perceived identity; a feeling many who are purpose driven but don't feel the exact same way anymore about the ventures they started a long time ago may resonate with.

Sreesha Shetty on Being Her Own Customer 1:05:19

vor 16 weeks1:05:19

1:05:19

This week we sit with Sreesha, the founder of Shop Lune, a contemporary jewellery brand based in Mumbai and Goa. If I told you that her designs have been worn by Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif to name a few, and she has not spent any money on PR, would you believe it? Having grown up as a South Indian in Goa and lived across Pune, Bangalore, London, Birmingham and now Mumbai, Sreesha admits that she feels most comfortable in discomfort. Perhaps this is what makes her a great entrepreneur, not being afraid of leaning into her 'otherness'. She prides herself in having grown Lune organically, admitting that it hasn't been a perfect journey and one that has taken a very long time, but one that she has come out of stronger, and is proud of. We get into more technical discussions around finances and what it really takes to set up a jewellery brand, but also into the mental side of what Sreesha would have done differently if she were to start her business again today. A lot of gems in this conversations.

Farooq Got Audio on Being That Guy 1:10:50

For as long as he can remember, Farooq Got Audio really was ‘that guy’ who downloaded leaked layers of songs and mashed them up together to create new sounds. Years of graft have now led him to being one of the world’s leading South Asian music producers. At the time of recording this conversation, his ‘Mayya Mayya’ remix had hit number 3 globally in terms of reach on Instagram. Despite being so talented and producing incredible sounds - often making the original tracks even better - he candidly tells us about how large music labels haven’t always supported him. Having now dealt with a legal lawsuit with a huge film production company, he has yet to be deterred and continues to produce catchy music that reaches millions around the world.Find out more about Farooq on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farooqgotaudio/ Website: https://www.farooqgotaudio.com/ If you haven't already, please do give Brown Game Strong a follow to be the first to be updated about new episodes.…

In this podcast interview from her recent trip to London, we sit with singer, songwriter and actress Lisa. We talk all things foot fetishes, how she ‘almost’ became a tennis player had it not been for her ADHD, going from almost taking a job as a data scientist at Uber to becoming an ‘overnight’ sensation in the Bollywood industry, the relentless grind that came after her ‘big break’ in Mumbai and her current mission to uplift young female talent in the desi music industry. It’s not all roses, but as she puts it, it’s worth it.

In this increasingly hilarious episode, we sit with Srishti, a visual artist, illustrator and fashion designer based across London, Bangalore and Kolkata. We talk to Srishti about growing up watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network as a 90s kid, to going from being super crafty and creative to studying science to entering the world of fashion design. We discuss what it is like being a maximalist in a world becoming increasingly minimal, and how staying true to herself has brought her some incredible opportunities to work with brands like Michael Kors, Adobe and now Hermès.
