Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode, Cyrus is joined by bestselling author Amish Tripathi for a fascinating conversation on AI, creativity, Indian history, mythology, storytelling, and the future of ideas. From whether AI can ever truly replace writers to the danger of younger generations using it as a crutch, Amish breaks down the opportunities and risks of this rapidly changing world.

The episode also dives into how Indian history has been misunderstood and under-taught, why our civilizational memory matters, how the British shaped historical narratives, and why ancient India’s achievements in trade, knowledge, and seafaring deserve far more attention.

Also, Amish opens up about his podcast, his work in gaming, and the ambitious worlds he’s now building beyond books.

In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Ajay Ambekar, an ex-bureaucrat, former PRO to multiple Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, and a man who has worked deep inside the machinery of government, media strategy, culture, and VIP protocol. The conversation moves from how politicians are actually briefed, how media planning works inside government, and what VIP protocol really means, to the strange, funny, and revealing realities of Indian bureaucracy. 

The episode also dives into Ajay Ambekar’s new board game, Election Tamasha, a politically incorrect, satire-driven game based on Indian elections, dirty politics, factions, corruption, and the absurdity of power. Along the way, the two discuss board-game culture in India, election symbols, VIP convoys, ministers, protocol, and why politics is far messier, smarter, and more human than most people assume. 

Funny, sharp, and packed with insider insight, this is a must-watch for anyone curious about Indian politics and how the system really works.
