The Morning Brief

The Hot Business of Chilled Beer: From Pint to Pub

India's Renewable Energy Ambitions

Challenges and Opportunities in Wind Energy

Suzlon's Market Position and Strategy

Government Policies and Green Hydrogen

Global Supply Chains and Wind Energy

Financial Governance and Growth

AI, Smart Factories, and Future Prospects

Suzlon Energy controls a third of India's wind market, but co-founder and vice chairman Girish Tanti isn't celebrating. In this conversation with host Anirban Chowdhury, he confronts hard questions: Why has India tapped only 4% of its wind potential despite three decades of operations? Can the sector scale from 6 gigawatts annually to the 10+ needed to meet 2030 targets? And will promised AI data centers overwhelm renewable capacity before it's built? Tanti reveals truths about offshore wind economics, the two-year lag between planning and execution that bottlenecks growth, and why financial restructuring forced Suzlon to often choose stability over speed. He also makes an argument: with 75% local manufacturing content, India's wind sector is better positioned against supply shocks than its solar counterpart. From debunking resource myths to dissecting smart factory ROI, this is wind energy without the greenwash.

Will AI drive consolidation across data stacks

How India differs for Snowflake’s next growth?

Is the AI boom a bubble or real value creation

AI reshapes search: can Google still dominate?

Where could AI challengers unsettle Google now

Conclusion

Credits

Five years after a splashy IPO and amid a bruising market reset, Sridhar Ramaswamy is steering Snowflake through a defining moment for enterprise technology: the AI transition. In this episode, hosts Samidha Sharma and Pranav Mukul talk to Snowflake’s CEO and former Google advertising chief to cut through the hype around artificial intelligence and focus on where the real value lies. Ramaswamy makes a clear case for why AI has sharply increased the premium on clean, well-governed enterprise data and why Snowflake positions itself not as an AI company, but as the intelligence layer that makes AI practical at scale. He speaks candidly about Snowflake’s late entry into AI, its rapid catch-up through partnerships with model builders like OpenAI, and how its consumption-based model offers resilience in volatile tech cycles. The conversation also spans the AI bubble debate, the future of search beyond Google’s dominance, and India’s growing importance as a strategic growth and execution hub for Snowflake.

Inside Snowflake's AI Strategy

Gig work freedom exploitation or a middle path

Why gig work divides scale jobs versus workers

Who is driving gig worker protections today

Efficiency versus worker welfare tradeoffs

Which gig worker demands fit market reality

How labour codes may reshape gig hiring

Will gig welfare costs hit customers prices

Key labour law grey areas platforms exploit

Why gig worker classification drives debate

Who gains from gig law ambiguity and who loses

What labour codes fix and what they allow here

India’s gig economy is at an inflection point. Sold as a model of flexibility and scale, it now finds itself under scrutiny as workers protest shrinking pay, rising pressure, and the absence of basic protections. This episode examines the deeper tensions powering India’s convenience economy between flexibility and dignity, efficiency and responsibility. At one end is a labour market flooded with millions of workers who struggle to find formal employment. At the other is a platform-driven system that relies on volatility, algorithmic control, and high churn to function. As gig work expands rapidly, questions around minimum earnings, accident cover, social security, and predictability have moved from the margins to the centre of policy debate. Host Neil Ghai talks to Kartik Narayan, CEO of apna.co and Anshul Prakash, Partner at Khaitan & Co as they dissect India’s new labour codes, which formally recognise gig workers but stop short of granting them full employment rights. With enforcement left largely to states, outcomes may vary sharply across the country.
