À propos de ce contenu audio

 Chai & Chips is where semiconductors and deep tech meet Indian ambition.

We’re here to educate, inform, and spark curiosity—through sharp insights, real conversations, and bold perspectives from leaders shaping the future of chips and deep tech.

From India’s semiconductor strategy to the explosive rise of AI chips, from the geopolitics of silicon to the ethics of supply chains, we go deep. We explore how deep tech is transforming EVs, healthcare, telecom, education, and defence—and talk to the people building, investing in, and regulating the ecosystem.

This is the podcast for those who believe deep tech is not just a sector—but a national mission.

About Us:
Chai & Chips is India’s go-to platform for honest, no-fluff conversations at the intersection of semiconductors, AI, and nation-building. Hosted by global tech executive Prakash Mallya, the podcast draws on over two decades of experience in the chip industry across India, Southeast Asia, and the US. Prakash’s deep love for technology and passion for India shape thoughtful conversations on the forces driving innovation, industry, and the country’s tech ambitions.

As AI reshapes industries and supply chains are redrawn, chips have never been more critical to a country’s self-reliance. But are we asking the right questions? With insights from the brightest minds around the world, we explore what it takes—and what history teaches us—to build a resilient deep-tech ecosystem in India that endures.

Follow us for sharp takes, real stories, and a vision for a Deep Tech Nation.

      Season 1 focused on Chips, the infrastructure powering the AI wave.

      • The Savings Gap: Why India’s household savings rate has dropped and what it means for the economy.
      • The 3 Layers of Advice: How to distinguish between investment management, advisory, and personal finance.
      • Bionic Advice: Why the future isn't 100% automation, but a blend of AI scale and human empathy.
      • The Indian Context: Why global financial models often fail to account for India’s "family-first" mindset and unique trust dynamics.
      • Expert Systems vs. Pure AI: Navigating the risks of AI hallucinations in long-term financial planning.

      Is legal compliance a stumbling block or a long-term investment for Indian startups?
      In this episode of Chai & Chips, I sat down with Karishma Sundara, founder of Kintsugi Law. With a decade’s experience advising on TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications) at India’s top-tier law firms, Karishma breaks down the rapidly evolving legal landscape in India.

    • Ep 009 - Infinite Sum Game: Crafting India's Win-Win Global Tech Strategy - Dr Badri Narayanan

      Ep 009 - Infinite Sum Game: Crafting India's Win-Win Global Tech Strategy - Dr Badri Narayanan
      Nov 27 2025
      How does an economist view the complexities of the semiconductor supply chain? While engineers build the chips, it is economics, policy, and geopolitics that determine who leads the industry.

      In this episode of Chai & Chips, I sit down with Dr. Badri Narayanan Gopalakrishnan, a seasoned economist and Fellow - NITI Aayog. We move beyond the technical specs to discuss the macro-level levers India must pull to transition from a service provider to a global technology architect.

      From the "snowball effect" of India’s electronics exports to lessons learned from Taiwan, China, and Vietnam, Dr. Badri provides a unique "30,000-foot view" of the ecosystem. We also dive into the symbiotic relationship between AI and chip manufacturing, the future of work, and why we need to move from "Zero-Sum" geopolitics to "Infinite Sum" geo-economics.

      Topics Covered:
      • India’s shift from "doing nothing" to multi-billion-dollar exports.
      • What India can learn from Taiwan’s education system and Vietnam’s investment policies.
      • Why AI needs chips, but chip manufacturing needs AI even more.
      • Navigating the "unknown unknowns" of global trade wars.
      • Vision 2047: India as a Global Technology Architect.
