Imagined Tomorrow is a long form podcast that imagines futures for India and this part of the world through the lens of science and technology. Each episode explores a hypothetical future for India, and with the help of different voices and experts, tries to figure out what the journey to that future might look like given Indian realities in mind. Perhaps, the future could become a reality ten or twenty years from now. Maybe it’s a future only a few can reach. Or perhaps, it’s a future we shouldn’t even try to get to.
