सच में बेहतरीन बिज़नेस को बाकी कंपनियों से अलग क्या बनाता है? हेज फंड SurgoCap Partners की founder माला गांवकर, Nicolai Tangen के साथ बात करती हैं कि ऐसी कंपनियों को कैसे पहचाना जाए जिनके पास मजबूत और टिकाऊ फायदे हैं। वे समझाती हैं कि कैसे पुरानी टेक्नोलॉजी नए तरीकों से बाज़ार में उथल-पुथल मचाती है, क्यों वे अपनी इन्वेस्टमेंट टीम को जानबूझकर छोटा रखती हैं, और कैसे डेटा साइंस सोच की गलतियों को कम करने में मदद करता है। माला अपने इन्वेस्टमेंट के खुले अनुभव शेयर करती हैं—जैसे Nokia को शॉर्ट करने की गलती और NVIDIA को बेचने के बाद दोबारा न देखने का पछतावा। वे अपने करियर को क्रिएटिव राइटिंग और ग्लोबल हेल्थ में समाजसेवा के साथ बैलेंस करने की बात भी करती हैं। $6 बिलियन assets के साथ, SurgoCap यह साबित करता है कि फोकस और जिज्ञासा ही नतीजे लाते हैं।——Mala Gaonkar - Founder of SurgoCap Partners What separates truly great businesses from the rest? Mala Gaonkar, founder of hedge fund SurgoCap Partners, joins Nicolai Tangen to discuss identifying companies with durable competitive advantages. They cover how old technologies disrupt in new ways, why she keeps her investment team deliberately small, and how data science helps reduce cognitive biases. Mala shares candid investment lessons including the pitfalls of shorting Nokia and not revisiting NVIDIA after selling. She also reflects on balancing her career with creative writing and philanthropic work in global health. With $6 billion in assets under management, SurgoCap proves that focus and curiosity drive results. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

इस एपिसोड में, Nicolai Tangen की बातचीत अरिस्टा नेटवर्क्स की मशहूर CEO जयश्री उल्लाल से होती है। जयश्री समझाती हैं कि कैसे अरिस्टा आज के AI सिस्टम के लिए बड़े-बड़े नेटवर्क चलाता है, क्यों AI का ट्रैफिक पहले के सभी ट्रैफिक से बिल्कुल अलग है, और क्यों अब सबसे बड़ी रुकावट हार्डवेयर नहीं बल्कि बिजली की कमी है। वे अरिस्टा की कहानी बताती हैं—कैसे एक छोटी इंजीनियरिंग टीम जिसकी कमाई शून्य थी, दुनियाभर में लीडर बन गई, वो कल्चर जिसने कंपनी को सफल बनाया, और इलेक्ट्रिकल इंजीनियर से CEO बनने तक का उनका अपना सफर। यह एक खुली और गहरी बातचीत है जो लीडरशिप, नई सोच और AI की दुनिया में नेटवर्किंग के भविष्य के बारे में है।——————Jayshree Ullal - CEO of Arista Networks In this episode, Nicolai Tangen sits down with Jayshree Ullal, the influential CEO of Arista Networks. Jayshree explains how Arista powers the demanding networks behind today’s AI systems, why AI traffic is fundamentally different from anything that came before, and why power—not hardware—is now the biggest constraint. She reflects on Arista’s evolution from a small engineering team with zero revenue to a global leader, the culture that shaped its success, and her own path from electrical engineer to CEO. A candid and insightful conversation about leadership, innovation, and the future of networking in an AI-driven world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
