62nd birthday pilotAug 2, 2026
What should we call this thing?
WHY
The point is to enjoy the conversation now and leave an honest record of what two builders noticed, misunderstood, tried, and changed their minds about while AI was moving underneath everyone’s feet.
WHAT
We follow the parts of AI, technology, entrepreneurship, and human progress that are already making us curious. We explain difficult ideas in ordinary language, compare what we’re seeing, and keep the focus on hopeful possibilities without pretending the hard questions aren’t there.
Sudarshan brings
Curiosity, creativity, conversational instinct, and a tonne of questions.
Monish brings
Pattern recognition, technical depth, lived insights, ambitious bets, and the delight of starting again.
FORMAT
We test and experiment, keep the bits that create energy, and kill the bits that feel like homework.
Still figuring it out…
HOW
The week naturally supplies the material. Before the call, we share only the titles of possible topics, not the punchlines, so the reactions stay real.
Save what you were already reading, trying, or arguing about.
Choose titles before the call. Keep the specifics secret.
Meet on Zoom for 45 minutes and follow the live curiosity.
Trim logistics and dead air. Keep the human edges.
Publish before polishing the life out of it.
Rate a reveal after each segment. Over time, other playful scores can emerge naturally.
