Futures from the Global South.
A monthly letter for leaders building AI-enabled organisations from India, the Gulf and the wider Global South. Field notes, frameworks, and the arguments I'm actually having with clients.
Free. No trackers beyond LinkedIn's own. Unsubscribe with one click, no drama.
What you get
Written for people doing the work.
Not a curated link dump. Not a promo channel. One argued piece a month, drawn from live engagements, with the frameworks and edits I'd share with a colleague over coffee.
- —One long-form field note a month, written for practitioners, not conference stages.
- —Frameworks and artefacts I use in live engagements — before they're polished into decks.
- —Honest reads on what's working and what's quietly failing across the Global South.
- —Occasional invitations to closed-door roundtables and briefings.
