I read and write to engage with the life of the mind and not for the h-index as I am not gunning for tenure. And i have diverse interests from impact to Indian Ocean Tarikh to entrepreneurship to writing. I am working towards a PhD as well. My day job is as a venture builder in the impact space, and have worked in the policy realm for a better part of a decade in Singapore and KL. In India, I work with think tanks which contribute to governance and foreign policy discourse in the country.
Ideas and action can co-exist, life is a portfolio rather than a linear resume for the hiring algorithm with keywords. The era of AI is for zero to one, as only what is commoditised can be fed into a training engine. Identify problems and solve them, and a white space has not even been defined. The move from diagnostic to anticipatory is the big shift in our polycrisis world.
