    Covering the Last Mile
    2026/10/15
    For hundreds of millions of people in India, government welfare programs are not a convenience but a lifeline. Yet the distance between policy and everyday life can be vast, and the digital divide, widening as AI reshapes everything, makes it harder still. Aniket Doegar started with a simple insight: programs only work if people know they exist, understand whether they qualify, and can navigate the process of applying. He began by building technology to solve that problem, then realized technology alone wasn't enough. In this conversation with the Tällberg Foundation, Doegar explains how he built Haqdarshak, a social enterprise employing more than 50,000 local agents who provide the critical last mile between citizens and their government.

  • Unboxing the Music Business

    Unboxing the Music Business
    2026/06/04
    Making a living as a musician has always been hard. For classical and experimental artists, it can feel nearly impossible. Ye Jin Min knows this firsthand. A violinist, composer, singer, and conductor equally at home in Carnegie Hall and the avant-garde, she has spent her career navigating the brutal economics of professional music-making. Her answer is Unboxed Musicians — a bold new venture designed to build sustainable, creative ecosystems where musicians and composers can actually thrive. In this conversation with the Tällberg Foundation, Ye Jin reflects on the joy and discipline of making music, the structural barriers that hold artists back, and why reimagining the business of music may be just as important as the music itself.

  • Democracy Succeeds (At Least in Bangladesh)

    Democracy Succeeds (At Least in Bangladesh)
    2026/03/05
    Democracy may be struggling across much of the world, but Bangladesh offers a rare counterexample. In the summer of 2024, a student-led movement forced out the long-ruling government of Sheikh Hasina. Less than 20 months later, the country conducted elections widely described as mostly free, fair, and peaceful—leading to a democratically elected government replacing the interim administration led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. In this episode, Aysha Siddiqua Tithi and Umama Fatema—leaders of Students Against Discrimination and central figures in the revolution—share what it took to organize, mobilize, and persist. They reflect on the risks they faced, the hopes that sustained them, and what democracy’s revival in Bangladesh might signal for a world increasingly skeptical of democratic governance.
