Episode description not available.

We often underestimate how complex leading a legacy might be. Success, I think, beyond a certain point is perhaps not as proportional to hard work as much as it becomes about who you are, where you are and the opportunities you create for yourself. To me, Authenticity should be transient. The most interesting question of life is why we are, how we are. In this episode of People by WTF, featuring Kumar Birla, we discuss the different nuances of just that, Life and other things.. #nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Host of 'WTF is' Podcast & People by WTF Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #KumarBirla - Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group Time stamps - 00:00 - Introduction 2:33 - Chapter 1 - Kumar’s Childhood 4:00 - Last Interview years ago with Simi Garewal 5:00 - Creativity in Business 9:20 - Aspirations and Fears as a child 15:56 - Birla Generational Distinction 28:50 - Attachment types 38:00 - “Life is much easier when your need to conform is lower” 44:38 - Kumar’s private life 50:20 - What does “legacy” mean to Kumar? | Philanthropy side 55:08 - Birla Family’s relationship with Mahatma Gandhi 1:01:55 - Kumar’s College Life 1:04:50 - Thoughts on Expressing Extreme Emotions 1:14:49 - Chapter 2 - Life, post becoming a Chartered Accountant 1:21:56 - Early days at the company at 20 | Sacrifices, Hard Work 1:25:15 - Friends from back in the day 1:26:40 - Habits | Food & Sports, Varied Interests 1:36:10 - Thoughts on Social Media 1:38:30 - Nikhil’s Transient Point of Views 1:49:40 - Chapter 3 - Taking Over The Reigns 1:55:20 - New Economic Policy In India 1991 1:57:15 - Thoughts on Private Equity/ Venture Capitalists 2:00:50 - Birla’s brands | Paints & Jewelry insights 2:05:00 - What would Nikhil build with 10 CR? 2:07:38 - Advice to young entrepreneurs 2:10:27 - Time to Pivot in Business | People Management 2:15:08 - Kumar on Intentional Living 2:17:20 - Closing Thoughts #peoplebywtf #wtfiswithnikhilkamath

A lot of us have heard conjectures around A.I., edge cases of the positive and negative side of A.I., and a lot of us are trying to predict what’s next. Most of my understanding of A.I. comes only from viewing what is apparent today.. reinforcement learning spaces like chat gpt becoming a go-to.. In this episode of People by WTF, we uncover the basics of this mystery of artificial intelligence with one of the founding fathers of A.I., Yann LeCun. We spoke about popular AI myths and broke down complex concepts that can perhaps help the next generation of builders build in this space. To learn more about Machine Learning, we’ve collated some sources for your benefit and growth in this industry.

Artificial Intelligence has undeniably transformed our world. Whether it's for better or worse, one thing is certain: it's here to stay. I often find myself debating - will AI eventually replicate human intelligence, or will it remain a powerful tool, an execution engine for humanity? The deeper you dive, the clearer it becomes that the reality is far more nuanced than it seems. So, I decided to go back to the basics to figure out how the concept of A.I. even began & finally understand what the systems are that could potentially define our future..

India today is a different India, when compared to 10 years ago. A lot of it has to do with The India Stack Journey (a set of open API's & digital public goods). Interesting to note how opportunity to serve at population scale is the theme of these innovations. In this episode of People by WTF, we sat with Nandan Nilekani to understand the trajectory of building this advanced Digital Public Infrastructure in India, which has made a significant impact in each of our day to day lives.

We all signal a version of ourselves that we think the world should see, but rarely show the sides that make us innately human. I think society misrepresents insecurity as a bad thing.. In my opinion, Insecurity with inaction is a bad thing… insecurity leading to action is a superpower. In this episode of People by WTF, we have Ranbir Kapoor. While the film industry seems to be all about glamour and box office numbers, I think it is quite interesting to know bits of the other side. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: [https://www.twitter.com/nikhilkamathcio](https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #RanbirKapoor

Episode 1 of ‘People by WTF'; where we have one-on-one conversations with personalities who stand out in various industries! In this 30 min exclusive with Bill Gates, we speak about his experience with India, from his early Microsoft days to his work with The Gates Foundation. We also cover topics such as the role of philanthropy in society, energy transition, the possibilities of AGI, along with its impact on society, money, and jobs. If Bill Gates were a 25-year-old building in India today, what would he do? #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #BillGates Co-founder of Microsoft , Co-chair The Gates Foundation Twitter : https://twitter.com/BillGates Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillgates/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/BillGates/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@billgates
