Say Again?! With Amrita Tripathi

Episode 55 | Year-End Reflections -- 5 Lessons We're Taking Into 2026

There's so much anxiety about AI and Jobs -- tune out the noise as much as you can and look to build, go deep and learn what you need to. On this episode of the Say Again Podcast, host Amrita Tripathi speaks to senior Tech Leader Shriram Parthasarathy, who spent close to 13 years at Microsoft including most recently as Global Marketing Operations leader for Asia. The conversation covers topics ranging from AI slop and what's been called the 'enshittification' of the user experience... to how platforms can re-optimise and prioritise great content, much like the Google era re-defined search. Shri shares some of his own professional journey and milestones as well as how he re-frames his own goals, and why he's not the New Year's resolution kind of guy. He also talks about resilience, being born with a visual impairment, and describes himself as blind by sight not vision. There's a lot to pack into this episode including some fantastic recommendations so tune in and enjoy a fascinating chat.

Episode 54: AI Slop, Enshittification & Authenticity with Senior Tech Leader Shriram Parthasarathy

"AI is no longer a race between countries — it’s a race between companies.”This is a reality check by the phenomenally talented Founder-CEO of PIT Policy Lab Cristina Martinez Pinto, speaking to Say Again Podcast host and author Amrita Tripathi from Mexico City.Cristina is the CEO and Founder of the Public Interest Technology Lab (PIT) Policy Lab, a Responsible AI Fellow at Stimson Center and a very talented tech policy entrepreneur.. .She’s been named on a list of 100 Top Women in AI Ethics!This engaging conversation covers the gamut of geopolitics, the global south and who has a seat at the table as well as very present-day real-world challenges in a world of inequity -- when big Tech companies have bigger budgets than entire nations. Towards the second half this conversation gets even more real, with a look at how hyper-focused we can be on our identities as leaders and successful entrepreneurs, and how our health can take a hit from the always-on, always-hustling culture. Cristina Martinez Pinto breaks many taboos by speaking of her own diagnosis of Depression, and what she's learning to value and how she's learning to reassess parameters of success, even while making a strong call for more communities of practice.

The AI Doom Loop: Risks and Regulation with Abhishek Kumar

AI Hype vs Reality: GPT-5 wasn’t a massive leap, and that’s a good thing as it gives society more time to brace for impact, on the road to Artificial General Intelligence. On this episode of Say Again with Amrita Tripathi, we speak to 2X Founder and Deep Tech Investor Aki Ranin, someone who has spent a lot of time deep-diving into GenAI and AGI. We need a manageable rate of change, and some guardrails going forward, Ranin shares, including his advice to folks to be cautious of what we outsource to our LLMs. Ranin is the Co-Founder and CTO, Head of AI for Healthzilla and was Co-Founder and CXO at Bambu.A conversation that is as technologically astute as it is philosophical, spanning the topics of startup success and failure, financial planning and even the increasing relevance of the ancient Greek motto: Know Thyself, and concluding with the importance of yoga and power of gratitude, this is one chat you don’t want to miss.
