AI, Geopolitics & the Next Decade for India | ft. Pranav Pai | TMSP #92

In Episode 92 of The Most Serious Podcast, we speak with Pranav Pai about what’s really happening to the world right now — from shifting global geopolitics to the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, and how these forces are reshaping jobs, careers, and opportunity in India. We unpack how power is moving between nations, why traditional career paths are breaking, and what young Indians must start doing today to stay relevant in the next decade. This conversation cuts through hype and fear to focus on skills, leverage, mindset, and long-term positioning in an AI-first world.
