Figuring Out with Raj Shamani
Srini Sriniwasan, MD of Kotak Alternate Asset Managers, joins Raj Shamani after 30 years of raising and investing billions for global institutions and ultra-rich families in India. He explains how foreign capital evaluates India (why India, what in India, why you), how tax and rupee depreciation shrink returns, why delisting rules make listed companies Hotel California, and why he welcomes crises because India reforms with its back to the wall. He recounts his first 5-crore investor, the 450-crore building deal run on written commitments, and Kotak's 2020 data-center bet on India's digital backbone before the AI hype. He also covers why EPFO and LIC barely touch alternate assets while global pension funds buy Indian toll roads and InvITs, healthcare economics at 20% of US cost, and the ultra-rich playbook: better information sources, pattern recognition, preserving wealth, and why money stops mattering after a point unless vanity takes over.

Think School: Indian Business Podcast
Think School host Ganesh Prasad interviews Balaji Srinivasan, author of The Network State, about his view that American global dominance is fading and that the next phase favours Asia, especially China and India. Balaji gives a history from 1991 to now, argues the US retreat from the world is involuntary, discusses the dollar, oil and sanctions, and says India should be bullish but not compete with China militarily. The caption text appears to cover the whole 49 minute conversation. Everything here about geopolitics, currencies, wars, empires lasting 250 years and predictions is Balaji's or the host's opinion or claim, presented as their views, and is speculative and not independently checked. This is political and economic commentary, not investment or financial advice. Captions are automatic with errors. Topics are untimed; metadata follows YouTube.
