Re:Orient
Welcome to Re:Orient, a podcast by Asia Society India and Dalberg that covers the most pressing issues in South Asia, from AI and education to air pollution and the changing geopolitical order. Over six episodes, we speak to educationists, policymakers, thinkers and experts to gather meaningful – and often surprising – insights.
Inakshi Sobti, CEO Asia Society, and Gaurav Gupta, Global Managing Partner Dalberg Advisors, bookend each episode with key questions that lie at the heart of the issue: what matters, how it got to be this way, and what we can do about it. Gaurav then builds on these questions with our diverse group of guests, giving us insights on where South Asia lands on each of these themes.
