In Good Company with Nicolai Tangen - Mala Gaonkar - SurgoCap Partners की Founder (Hindi version)
Episode Date: February 6, 2026सच में बेहतरीन बिज़नेस को बाकी कंपनियों से अलग क्या बनाता है? हेज फंड SurgoCap Partners �...�ी 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.

Hi, everybody.
I'm Nikolai Tengen, Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund's CEO.
And today I'm quite much
because I'm with Mala Gavkar.
We've got a lot of the same
from one point eight billion dollars
and now he's $6 billion to come back.
This is the first,
he had three years in Lone Pine Capital
in founding partner to work
which up-tacred from the most successful hedge funds
from the end up.
You're coming from here.
Here, I came up to be very much.
Thank you.
You know,
You know,
And this
what's the
work is?
Yeah,
Sergo Cap
is the way
can't do
that he
who many
investment firm
are the
this year,
it's a
market's
risk with
market to
market to
make sure,
risk is
risk,
not that
volatility.
And we
this
has made
this
kind of
that we're
that
the
in the
world in
the
much
business
from
very much
business
and we
have
And we're a product, actually, our process is.
A very transparent process, which in very
factors to look at all.
You actually, as well you've said,
my seeked-whoed-whoed-saback, my many
glitions and seeked-whoe subac of the
people who I've been three years' business's
good people in Lone Pine in my
poor staffed with invest and seeked.
So, this is distillation to Sir Goulda.
A great business to paychant-carned to make-carned
many different factors
are.
But,
my case
shan-dard business
is that
who has
who have been
long long time
to go to
moits are.
And this is
our actual differentiation
is the same.
So,
it's the
way to come
to work.
How many
great companies?
As I said,
it's a lot
is it's a lot.
I'm not like,
that's a lot
we're just
focus on,
where I'm
like,
that's age
is a very
very high-fackard
so.
So, now,
now,
the investing
of investing
onupupup
, we're
a technology
business is,
So if you're an aerospace company
or made tech business
or financial data business,
so you're in your backbone
in a technology company
if you're in a big paymone
and quality with deliver
to deliver to you,
then you have a tech business
and I think that
business's a tech stack map
to understand a
thing is which we're
a lot time bettap
especially in non-tech business
this is the first point.
The second is
how many technologies
are in time in
different ways
disruption lairre
like if you look at
auto industry
who takes
who tech industry
to
employing
that
is a
a
technology
which
which
in 1970
which is
this
I'm
much
when we
we've
used
that we're going to
is one.
It's very interesting that
the new technologies
are new ways
are disruptions
and we're
we're in
non-tech businesses
in these opportunities
do not even
we're going to
but when you
you've set
then you
have put up
you have some
kind of
kind of
some of
there's a
one is
focus, so we
decided I
I'd say I
I'd
keep to make a
thing,
one is focus
so we're
so I'm just
I'm going to
I'd
want to be
that I'm
team's shorty
he's the
same consistent advice
and I'm
many of the
podcast on the
podcast on
you're all right
you're doing
or chutey
businesses'
founder.
Main part
the main part
the same
thing is
not only
a U.M.
Yeah,
one dollar
to multiply
billion dollars
is easier
easy to be
but a lot
but you
keep in
working and
collaborative
cross-border
thinking
environment
to make sure
that's
creative ideas
generate
to make
important
is the
important
was the
How many small?
We're a investment team
which in data science team
also we're in regular basis
on the same
table's all the table
so we're
a proper roundtable
discussion can't.
You know,
you've seen as
Jeff Bezos,
we talk about
but we're
but we're just a
pizza box-to-
team size
but we're gonna
I'm...
I'll say this per-person
is a per-pitsa
not a pizza-in-re-
We're things to
we're the
we're the most
pizza-caning people
are said we
we're about
we're about 11 kilo per person
can't
Yeah, yeah.
It's quite interesting.
I've been
not thought.
But when you
have a company
do you're
looking at least,
then you know,
so, uh,
you know,
what's the answer?
We're seeing,
we're seeing,
we're doing
and as I'm saying,
and as a
new technology,
uh,
new ways,
how bad-lap,
so it's a angle
we're,
we're a
, we're a
same check-in-
check-list, be
I'll say,
and you're,
and you're,
how you're,
and you're,
how you're,
how you're,
as we're
in the investment
career
in the start
in the
making we're
making sure that
now we're
now that's
very much
you're able to
you're not
you're not
that's much
much much
party data check
can't
which in
which made
and take adoption
and take adoption
and across
other data points
of automated
tracking
which we
we're in
90-the-dash-
in the
career
in the
career in
can't be
in.
How you
you can't
how you
can't do you?
So,
very specificly,
if you
if you're
product adoption
to track
to track
to do.
When we
were in
in 1998 in
in Lone Pine
in the
early
adoptions
looking at least
Adobe products
about
when they were
when they were
they were
a lot of
a lot of
a lot of
a lot of
service
would be a
service is
often
to find
to be
tricky
would be quite tricky
but
but now
now in
these
work
we actually
survey bots
use
we can't
we both
we're
we're
augmented human
surveyors
and
other
deeper dives
we can't make
we can't
we're using
we're used
track and we're
we've got to
say we've got to
say that's a scale
and scope not
that's not that
the product adoptions
they can't
get to know
who can't
who can't
and who can't
so it's not.
So this in take
stack mapping,
product adoption,
customer adoption,
and yet
even the
common consumer
adoption data
there's
many things
share things
share of
which now
can't be
so chacked
can't be
you?
I think it's
that it's
small
and
maybe they're
small to
need to be
because
human
collaboration
is the
best that's
the
good at the
same
important
things that
things that
are the
industries
borders
across to
like
AI how
may
influence
or how
air or
space
in
whether it's
how much
it's
I'm
that I
look at
the angles,
uh,
I'm
so much
it's just
AI
to see
technology
in AI
in AI
in technology
any of those
some of the
other,
or some
other things
that you
are the most
that's the
,
I'm the most
the medical technology
in the
thing that's
that's not
much much
a lot of
much than
it's not
to be a
very special
and roachic
other.
If you
you're a
imaging space
look,
like MRI,
CET,
scan,
and PETT
scan,
so in
medical image
the
satiquity,
clarity and
speed and
speed to be
being,
it's,
it's the
like 70%
the rate rate
from the
just a lot of
years.
It's a lot of
a lot of
the world of
the ability of
the ability to
be very much
very much more
much more than
and this
type of obviously
it's a care
more quality
to make a
so I'm
that it's a
area is a
area and
it's a
this is a
pooran
being
how are being
and you
know, and you
know, I
think that
these bimaries
to stop
in the
big part to
stop to
a big part
has
a big area
is that
surgery how
do you
think that
people
in the
manufacturing
sector in
AI and
robotics
about
about
what
people
people
never
can't
be
that
the
the
whole
world
there is
there
and
they are
and they are
now
robotic
surgery
are
very
especially intuitive surgical
like companies
so I'm
I think it's a
more big category
where you're
you're a real
innovation
is looking
where you're
where haptic
feedback mapping
software and
surgery
and surgery
kind of
technology's
combination
such in
some
can't
go back
to be
making.
Medical students
for
easy
training and
all together
a better
mahal
that this
therapeutic
elage
can't
can't be
can be
made
and as you
know,
health care
costs to control
on a
big churts
and I'm
umed
I'm not
that you
need to be
a lot of
it's a
so yeah
I think
this idea
that's
how technology
non-tech
businesses
intersect
and how
we're using
and how we
can't use
we're
de-bias
can't
be able to
be able to
is that we
have we
very interesting.
Now,
you're in
a concentration
in a
when you're
you're going to
you're quite
a lot of
so you're
so,
so let's
you know,
how do you
I'm
I'm just
I'm just
these four
verticals
on the
focus on
which are
enterprise
data like
broadly tech,
financial services
health care
services and
industrial
technologies
because I
think it
that are
that are
where emerging
technology
disruption
that themes
are the
same
relevant
and where
where you can
market leaders
see who
have very durable
modes who
are incremental
returns for
work for
you're in incremental
return on
the capital
you can't
make the
way, it's
way,
so we're
so we're
just in
four areas
focus on
and we're
we're the
thematic
exposure about
and we
think that's
a reason why
it's a
reason, I think
it's a
offense
gives you know,
because
some or some
some kind of
market
structure's passive
nature of
a little odd factory rotation
can disrupt
this portfolio can disrupt
can't be.
It's a time
and we're in the
four sectors
in all each in
many of many
different investment ideas
where we're
we're not going to
we're just
other name for
we have long-term
thesis of
and much more
and you're
back back to
talk about
so you're back
so you
so you're
how do you
do you guys
I'm a quality
spice up to
we're like businesses
on those businesses
on who has
modes
are
and who
long duration
take away.
And we're
we're in
we're very de-biased
are the way
and we're
just my or team
intuition on.
Based not
not the
basic not really
systematic
thinking on
not that's
the siloid thinking
per.
This is
it's really
very exciting
because it's a
bigot-cutting
thing is.
And it's
actually to
actually is a
really
and I'm
like it's a lot of
more back
and Nicolai, you
have to put a
investment process
student
but you're
You know, we both
Kahneman, Twersky, and Thaler's
kind of love.
I remember,
that one of my papa
had me a Bertrand Russell
a great quote
which was,
manushy could do
just he doesn't
want to think.
And it's very simple.
Like Kahneman System 1
and System 2 thinking
about about
about the system 1
thinking is intuitive gut feeling
which is such in positive
it.
It's insaniette
to doze and fluid
reactions to give me
and it's bachhoo
work hard to be
but it's really
to thinking,
which is very
much difficult
which is
which is in
really in
and methodically
and logically and
logically
think to be
I'm always this
I'm always
this thing and
my team and
our portfolio
system to
thinking so
here I'm
here I'm
here I'm
one I'm a
first I'm
a master's thesis for
that's right
in the
fesslele
in which
actually
in this
about it
so let's
you, you
you're when
you're
when you
you're using
and when you're
you're using?
So
you're
your career
career
during
pattern
recognition
of your
use in
how much
how much
I'm
my pattern
recognition
in my
pattern recognition in
I think that
the
bad
badlaw
is that
now
I'm
not
individual
analytical
viewpoints
but
I'm
about
I think
I'm
and
I'm
maybe
I'm
person
or CEO
or leadership
or
hero
model
to
the
same
in the same-samage context
in the
companies and businesses
were doing
he was a
lot of time.
And this
I've done
done to be a
hard-learning
I've seen
many failures
did you know.
My first
work in World Bank
in junior
analyst as
Russia and Mongolia
to work
I'm going to
this is a
poignant example
I'm in
I was a
think that
we're going to
if we're
if we're
we'll be the
government
bank branch
to try it
can't be
stock market
can't
capitalism,
liberal democracy
everything,
everything's
very
would be the
history of
the end
end of the
what was
a little
different from
it's not,
it's
instead of
many many
many people
and there's
many
there's
a lot of
uphacy's
uphous
and all
news headlines
in
all things
all things
you're
you're
you're
just
just a
not
not over
and you
can't
and you
umed
not even like
that people
can't be
the way
to think
I'm not at a
same thing that's
you're going to
see the same
you're going to
be able to
be a lot of
there's a
you know,
you know,
to be a
microscope so
you can't
you're
sort of
think that
these businesses
in the
context in
that's in
how can't
how we
can't be
so that I'm
so much
I'm
that I'm
how much
we're going to
these specific
failures
how
can't
right
right
right
you're
you can
invests
can't
you?
Yeah.
So then
you're
a lot of
why you
do you
think we're
we're
obviously
know that
private
area and
private
areas and
we're
we're not
the public markets
in the
first any
companies not
but they're
some
in some
in some
there's
some time in
some
the
other reason why
the
other reason why
it is a
often the
the most of
the most of
substs
disruptive
are not
bad-law
core on
but the
other
it's the
not,
this is my fundamental
view is.
And the
corner of the
businesses,
private
companies,
unsung founders
who are
that's
there's
there's
there's
there's
not,
so much,
not the
globally in
these four
shetroes.
These four
big industry
which we're
focus
we're,
it's our
responsibility
is a
private companies
to back
is a
piece of
just it
just it's
it's a
easy?
You're
how you
like,
you know,
like, do you
think, bang,
I'm going to
this is a
so,
it's not,
it's a
long,
it's a
long-in-
process is a
long incubation process
so I'm
so I'm
and then
and then
and then
and the
broader networks we
have, I'm
discussed,
but then,
but then,
on the world is it is a field
is about it.
It's an obscure industry
trade show to go to
do that automation
new robotic systems
feature can't
where I'm a new idea
may be able to.
It could be a ongoing
survey who we're
we're doing
we're doing
we're doing
to see to bea
what they're doing,
what are doing,
what are trying,
who are doing and
who not doing.
So,
this isal in, I
say, I'm going,
it's a lotcure
where from
I'm the bests
ideas
is the other than it's
that I'm just
the
bad players
talk to
although it's
obviously important
so then you
you're going to
what you're
a little
other thing.
As you
first you
first, you know
first,
system one and system two
thinking
about the
was that
that's a
fine filter
to gozger
which is
overall investment
checklist is
I very
I'm very
I'm very
I'm very
I'm
should be
we're
we're going
we're
we've been
before I've
said that I'm
We see that we have
theses to track
to track-c-cred-a-trika-h
and it's
that we're in
that's the reason why
I think we're
we're going to
many colorful
names of biases
are you
like,
like confirmation bias,
availability bias,
or sunk-cust bias.
When I'm
my many
investment glotties,
then they're
all these biases
one or two
or other of
these kinds of
this is a
natural and
it's in some
positive aspects
but,
but in investing
to maybe
maybe maybe
I'm just like
that we have
a data point
which we have
invests
we're in
unbiased
way to
join us to
make a
team and I
this is a
track can't
and make
we're not
nother end up
so I'm
this way to
I'm a lot
time
I'm going to
make sure that
we're not
we're talking about
we're talking about
about
about we're
but I
also want to
we're
that we're
so much
so my time
to think about
this part but
what assumptions
are made
that's probably
is going to
which are
wrong.
Things are
where are
going to be
wrong,
where market
disruptions
are such.
And this
is a
thing I'm
there's a
big thing.
So I'm
my team
say,
let's go more
from
Tomo's
more
more than
thoughtfully
missing out
this
we're sure,
we're
we're doing,
we're
we're doing,
we're
we're trying to
make sure
we're going to
make sure sure
But if not can't do it,
then we have to make sure
to make sure that
our circle of competence
what is,
but keep
so I'm
so I'm
I'm going to
my ideas that
too much the team
as far as
specific stocks
you?
How do you
do they?
Do you?
They're
doing or they
have a lot of
and my team is
good and I
this chute's
group with this
group of the
stock-making and
have a lot of the
stock making
and I'm
in my
collaborators
to use
I'm
such in a
people who
are the
decision making
process
for the
important
are very important
and I'm
a lot
team support
is a
strong team
need to
I'm a
coach and
mentor
to look
I think he
a
big driver
is that I
can I
can't
make sure
investment
talent
to act
and
they can't
mentor can.
So
someajdery
to let me just
to
let's go to
the red flags are,
who you're going to
do you?
Yeah, so
my
nazard in
the first is
compromise.
If you're
just valuation
because
you're going to
a business
in a business
in vesting
or then
you're
you're
saying,
but you're
doing that
other
some other
are you
are you
are you,
so this
a red flag
is.
Investment
decision
to be
much much
emotional
when.
When I
it's ever
I'm
when I'm
I'm, I'm
quite a lot of
upstahed
so I'm
this a red flag
mantey.
We're just
we're just
we're doing that we're
being used to be able to
work and thought to
just a lot of
focus on.
And I'm
like that he's the
where bias
subhavavoc
root is, because
we're human selfhavoc
from the big
and romantic
point to
find out of
this is we're
weqas
we're trying to
we're trying to
who who was a
but we're just
I think it's
that it's a
world in
fact it's a
very difficult
and it's very
factors are
that are really
and there's
some things to
and I'm
do you know that's
that I'm doing.
This not
I'm going to
I'm going to
make the
emotions to
not easy.
I'm not
you know,
I'm not
you have a
methodology and
process
to be
which it's
you're
to thinking
may and
such tools
can't
which you and
your team
in this
direction in
to make a step-in'
you know, as we
we're not going to
talk about the market's
that's the same
narrative on the
number's on.
So you're not
you need,
and you're going to
say, and that context
the end of the end up
the end uprored
and I think it's
balanced to make
it's a balanced-crued
you're a long-term
moit,
a definitional quality
to do you're up.
So,
what kind of quality signs
you're looking?
So, when I'm moit
to make a matter of
a matter of money, I mean, it's a
matter of high incremental RICs
on work is,
because, after car,
it's a business value
that return per
nearer to the
incremental invested capital
and that capital.
And that capital
you can't pay
they,
on them, you're
to payers,
so you're going to
drive-and,
and then it's
multiple types of
but,
actually the best
the things,
if it's the best
if it's just price
is that I don't want to
make it.
But if you're
price
bad to add
future innovation,
market growth,
new geographies
or new products
to do you're
so it's show.
So, R.O.C.
could drive
multiple levels
is a big part.
The other
you can't
how can't
capital can't
pay that.
Some businesses,
especially
best are the
high incremental
returns are.
But in which
they're going to
get any
the capital
amount to
that's not there.
That's the growth market
is that they're
kind of business
and if they're
there.
And if they're
and we're
today technology sector
in the sector in the
execution risk
is a lot of
so I'm
look that we're
seeing we're
that we're
looking at a
capital level
of the result of
the current
the new business
sales and size
to make,
because it's
this is
execution risk
has,
which I'm
much I'm
much need to
need to be
incremental return
combination,
the capital
which you can
make up in
the return in
the one
in a positive
and other in
the other in
execution
risk of
negative
things to
manage to
how we
we're all
things about
So,
now,
in the portfolio
you have
what you have
about about
but you know,
but a
bestere investment
of the
you doggard
did you,
and who you
may be
some things on
up on.
Yeah,
I'll say
that,
uh,
a,
uh,
on the
other part,
we've been in
these
investment
have,
and this is
the business's
bests'
bad is,
I'm the
thing that's
that's actually
that is,
that is the
chip stack
with what is
we're going to
we're going to
So you have TSM
like business who are
who are known-me-am-en-h
who are actually
this cornered-one.
This is Taiwan-Chi-Neh-Kornered
in.
Especially in process
engineering in
the whole thing.
So it's in a
thing about
about the
but it's the
way that's the
systematic mode
that's not a
easy, where there's
a small,
an easy thing
not that's
not that's
only that's
only the
money is
that's
the process is
the right
to the
kind of
can't be able to
how to
who are the business
are
which
are the
type of
dynamics
have to
I'm in
I'm a
I'm a
real deal with
there's a
little bit
there's
there's a
lot of
talking about
about
about
but I'm
that's
training is
but influence
is a
real currency is
a real
kind of
we're going to
work work
and we're
and they're
especially
LLM
in B.
Google's
appenference
stack
would be
open AI
Anthropic
and other
and I'm
and I'm
I think that it's
Google's
TPU's
what is the
kind of thing,
it's a lot of
realchance.
So, Essex or ASEC chips,
application-specific
chips,
which are the
workload for design
and which
it's because it
very long time
to make
the way to
and so we
this type of
theme on
very much
the theme of
we've been
talking about
but I'm
I thought that
go-to-market
modes of
combination and
and long-to-mark
process innovation
and the world
and the world-bher-
doctors and
nurse practitioners
of the group
in the system in the actual
it's executing
are they're going to
it's a lot of
it's a lot of
it's a lot of
area where big business
such in uphering and
been made sure.
So chip stack layer
that's what is
there's probably
these two big packets
and mad tech layer
which is going to
it's new, not.
I think it's a
other different category
here where there's
a new know that
AI shabre than
it's a lot than
it's a lot more
disrupting are
and it's the real-time
data and data
analytics
in
some
proprietary data
provider
have.
I think
it's really
really shaned
business is
really shaned
business
where they're
they're
they're
both of
workflow
both are
both
these three
and they're
a very basic
innovation engine
with
often much
modes
made.
So they're
kind of
companies?
So they're
such business
would
for example
financial
data
data do you
so
so think you
your
portfolio
for you
for XX
Clarence
or fixed
income
or equity
market
for
all real time
pricing
about
I think it's real-time data
which, like,
any LLM for,
it's ever to be
much difficult
because it's real-time nature
are.
But it's trading and
compliance-upas-to-as-
the actual workflow
embedded are,
which are
that's difficult
so that's
that people can't
be able to
them can't be
but I think
it's a look to
see or
understand,
me really
look-mugged
much much difficult.
When you
you invests are,
so you're
how you're the time
horizon how to
how it?
As a time for the
Zahir, shots are
are different catalyst driven
and they're often
nine-mahean-a-combe catalyst period
but on the long side,
as I said, I'm saying,
I'm just in the duration
to look at least,
we're in factors' combination
to look at least,
which incremental return and capital
go ahead-biddle.
Which is on incremental return
can lay-as-as-a-you-all
from our valuation horizon
to see three-five-sail-scycle in
but ideally,
we're in this-a-buevers
lookers.
Yeah, so
shorting
to the long
investing
can't be
can't be a
one of the
one way?
This is a
very good
question.
Because it's
a lot of
the last time,
as well,
it's the
about it's about
to think
so,
sometimes you
can't
you can't
that longs
too-hut-
-hut-hut-
-h-er-
-h-h-
-h-h-
I-h-
I'm-
I'm-l
I'm-
and they're
much-to-m
and it's-
often-the-of-a-
I think that
it's the other
you have to
you have to
they're
when they're
going to
they're
this
combination
are you
like clear price
competitive pressure,
clear share competitive pressure
which are
those pricing pressure
and then they're
other factors
together, like
management by
the management by
the wrong
execution, you
have a
quite a good
shot
but you're
but the problem
is that
those factors
combination
you for you
for you're
a very time frame
in front of
a difficult
work.
And then it's
all the
factor rotation
and the
current of the
market's
positive
project to join
which are
quite the
other funds
do you're
you're going to
you're doing
which are
you're doing
you need to
think about
you need to
do you?
We're short
are.
This is
very stressful
are.
I'm just
I'm just
I'm just
because you
because you
you're both
long time
and when you
are the
so you're just
in bursts
like it's
and they're
very longs
You don't even till
you're not.
You're probably
a week for
you're not?
And then you're
for the
you're not?
Yeah, but you
still are the
absolute profit dollar
shots
tauts.
Do you?
Do you?
What do you
look that
valuation is very
mind-reacted
we're not
we're going to
stock-based
comp, we're
all the
different ways
and things are
and things are
very conservative
way.
And it's
the reason I
that I've
that I've
I've said that
I've said
I've said that
I'm thinking
I'm going to
I'm going to
risk-adjusted
return to be
And I think that you
I think that valuation and you
in the first
how you're
it's a lot of
and you're
in the
information
as amount of
important
let's go and
let's
and you
and you're
you mean you
you've got it
you've got
you've
some important
things,
yeah,
I think it's
many things that
I'm really
I'm really good
I'll say that I've
the best
best of the
one of the
one of the first
we've got to
talk about
I'm a very
good idea of a
very special
talk about you
we're talking about
we're short
we're shorted
we're going to
one of the
one Kno Kina
was shot
and I had
Nokia to shot
did.
This is
this is interesting
thing.
So, I thought
I was really
I'm really
so I'm
and then obviously
in 2014 in
Microsoft
came and he
he got to
$7 billion
in $7 billion
to buy.
And that
he was
it was a very dardnark day
and then
after 18 months
back
Microsoft
made it's
right off
did it
and it's
you're not
you're not
and you're
all you're
too much
as you
have said
on the
short side
so you're
so what
all the
sook he is
if you
if you're
a single
business to
think
yeah
you're
right
you're
very
you're
really
you're
you're
you're
you're
you're
not really
so you're
so you're
not so you're
alone in
only,
but
it's a
systematic
way to
think that's
a lot of
different
different things
that's a
thing that's
that I'm
that's not
that's not
not really
not really
and that's
one is,
and Nokia
the
one is
and
another is
balance
sheet leverage
from
like public
LBO
and I'm
much
difficult
to see
that I'm
maybe it
maybe he's
maybe he's
maybe he's
I'm
I'm a
business
in invest
which I'm
over leveraged
they're
very good
business
were over
leveraged
But as a result, when
much time and
very macro tension
I'd,
then they'd
to them to
work to be able to
work to be
a lot of
a lot of
there's got to
like Alte's
business in
like the third
I think that's
most interesting
AI chip stack
on our
chat up as
and how
how can't
technology
new ways
can't work
out out
such is
NVIDia.
So,
NVIDia is
a pretty
type of a GPU
business
to work
see, which he was
that was.
But then
2015 in
we had
we have deep
reinforcement
learning,
deep mind
papers came.
And it
very interesting
and exciting
and you
see how you
did not really
how much
how do you
would be
the GPU is
the parallel
computer
machine learning
to turn to
work to work
to work
to work.
We didn't
know.
We didn't
know that you
have been
but you
definitely
saw that
machine learning
in early
stage in
what was
later in
generative
AI
and it.
And the
The truth is that that time, video game for GPU
to other, a big crypto component
was the same gaming and crypto
he had been in Vidaeco.
And I said, yeah, but this AI
thing would, and it was a big thing.
And they got, and they'd
look, to, quite a lot of
crypto in one-sacrash
and in China, permit-mendery
because gaming in gaming
which business's video gaming
history of demand of the driver was,
that time. So, I made it sell to it.
which I didn't
do it
but the big
bad thing is
that's a
but a big
guilty was a
big thing that
that's the
back in VEDIA
What you have
come
on the same.
You know
back to buy
it.
Yeah, but I'm
right in,
this is a
way in,
this is a problem.
And I'm like,
I'm like,
because it's a
important and
interesting offer,
when you're not,
you're a lot of
and you're often
me the way to
it's a lot of,
then it's a
thing, it's a
thing, and I'm
a lot of
things,
other,
financial leverage
about,
saavhany beratning
about,
versus leverage
the other driver
which we're
we're all
happy
and the
bias
about we've got
we've been
we've been
first talked
which in
the sunk
cost bias
also I'm
I'm going to
you're
some personal
nature
are you
have,
I mean,
I mean,
I mean,
you know,
I mean,
you know,
you're a
time in India
in India
made,
and you
think,
this multicultural
background
the world,
and
investment
to look to
you're
a lot of
,
I'm going to
India in
India in BAD
on,
something that was with me
had been brought
and this
all the same
and I'm
like it's a lot of
that's a
which has been
who's the
way to
give and I'm
really much
a lot of
and I'm
like it's
my family
my partaddy
in jail in
because they're
they're in
Gandhi's against
a jadey
in aandoling
in
and I'm
and I'm
like that's
someajab and
you're
how you
back back back
this,
this vachachachachach
being being
someasawes
more bansupto's
more than a
more bansbuthed up.
Now,
this up
this thing
in the
many times
it was
a lot of
because
there's a
local
social
and local
dynamics
were much
and a
much much
rich literature
and
and it's
such a
that's the
that was
much much
bad that was
and so I
think that
I'm just
I'm really
this part of
that I'm
this thing
for what
it's going to
what it's
what will
you're
you're
you're going to
you're
you're a role
model
and I'm
I think that when you
when you've launched
to any
the first big launch,
the biggest big hedge fund
launch, is not?
This is a lot of
great thing.
Investment in the
world in a
manh of being
any way.
I'll say,
first, I'm
first, I'm just
that this record
very soon
will be a
and I'm sure.
There,
some really
really talented
men are.
I'm just
I'm not,
but I'm just a
investment community
and maybe
maybe a philanthropic
community
to be a role model
will be my
work and my
and my
my own
and my
kind of a
important part
is a very important
part is a
business is a
very much a
business is a
way you're
any way that
is a very
meritocracy
business is
that I
think that I
mean I
I'm at a
sign of
high-mongal
grhhh
but if I
if I
investment return
then I'm
then I'm
therewasment
out there's
there will be
the law
who my
product
chri'd
want to be
So I think it's a very meritocracy-wally industry
and I'm just ummeded
that's a sergo-jay-hage-hap-hrued and the platform you're running
they're in this industry in the industry
for the value-jording to the way
because I'm really think that it's
a great place that's an endowmentally curious
and all kinds of people,
who are and upy-of-y-who-you-all-you-all-kind-a-kind-old-a-old-gut-a-old-gut-a-old
good
are
because
you're
a lot of
different things
in different things
there's
you're
a lot of
you're
a lot of
a lot of
a lot of
you're
how do you
do you
do you?
I'm
like,
uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
I'm a lot of
two main
things are.
I'm...
two main things are
one, the
two main things
kind of
you can't
you can't
talk about you.
So,
Philanthropy
morchee, I had been very
july
shirwate
so I'm
in the first
year I'm
back to do you
and you're
like I'm a
investor to work
to work and you
actually he's
really good social
entrepreneur and
to support
and he's
that we're
we're going to
see that we're
so I'm
really lucky
that you
met you're at
that time you're
in health to be
starting to
the time.
But they're
they're
a very good
mentor and they
and he's
he's a lot of
people who's
hathiered bant
dacety just a
It's better it's
to beaughty
women to
cross-past
to make,
things to
do it's not
and it's actually
that's the
and it's not
to make,
so much
to do you need to
do anything,
for example,
in a gramean maternity
clinic in,
I've had
other people,
and I've seen
and other's
I've seen,
who I've
worked with,
and this
same,
the same,
Gates Foundation in
work were doing,
and I'm
Sergo Health
should be,
and this
This is the part of one dash of the same
more than a far
and our
the idea of
much had to
how much
we're able to
how we're
better better
and we're
targeted data set
with such
in the
data and data
and data
not but
behavioral data.
So I'm
think that
AI in somebabil
things of
things of
one is one of
AI in
why join to
AI in the
question
to help
to help
to help
that
that will
click can't
click
click can't
but why
and I'm
and I'm
like this
badee behavioral
data
to join
which you can you can use a basic Bayesian networking math
and use using to tell me that
any way not going to do not.
Or, why is community, XYZ, Garbh, Neroadhaq,
why not are not doing?
It is a such that we're both time
are having.
And data to a public good to our
and data science to a public good to look
it, it's something that we're
a lot of time to have.
So this philanthropy effort is a big hyssa
and we help to help for Bill and Melinda Gates,
Camp Foundation, and other ones as groups
and local governments,
with them with them with them
and a different
part, we've been
in the maternal mortality
for a lot of
so that's a
country to target
to get a lot of
that's a lot of
money, who's
every year is a billion
dollars
and it's a
and then we're
going to come and
there's a
mattern't really
is a real problem.
We're in US
in the technique
how can't do you
can't use how
and then it's
with an actual program
should have
Dara's with
who has been
who had you
have you've got a
interview you have
moms for
rides to do it.
Samosia maternity plan
and it made sure
to make sure
to make sure
not that
the men's really
a real
in a real thing
should be
interesting thing.
This was
transport was not
that's a
so,
why do you
need to be
so I'm
here.
But I'm
think it's a
important side
where technology
and philanthropic
both are.
Creative work
about really
interesting
about it is
that I'm
really that we
think we're the
people's the
best that we
think we're
whether we're
whether we're
whether it's
if they're
creative work
and so I
this way I'm
so I'm
so you're in
college
from the same
from the
little bit of
you know,
I'm not
I'm not,
I'm not,
and I'm
and we're
we're all
different ways of
many different things
people of
a group
and then
then you
do you're
dinner are
and we're
and we're
and we're
and we're
some of
they're a
there's a
lot of
prediction
So this narrative self
and I
how I see
it's a
between between
there's a
versus social self
and social context
and so I think
that conflict
is a thing
which I'm
like to write and
think about me
and it's actually
amazing.
Teller project
about about
about the
yeah, so
theater of the mind
this is a
realoscience
experiments
of a series
on a series
I'm
I'm
what was
what was
what was
what we're
in which
we're
talking about
we're
talking about
Tverski's
work in
Tverskii's
for example.
A game
which is the dictator game
where the game
where the
people who
can't be a
people who can't
they're all the
they're all right
and they're just
and I'm sure
I'm just in
I'm going to go
and I'm going to
want to go to
the world's
one of the world's
one of the
but I'm
there's a new, it's
there's a lot of
he's made
he's a different
context in a
experiment about
thinking about a
sensory, pro pro preoception
with the sameercepsion with
and this is a
godiard's share in
this work,
this work in a Swedish lab
Aerson Labs'n't
and when we met
to we thought,
it's true,
it's actually a
theater piece.
This is a case.
This is a
kind of a other
life is who
a lot of life
is living in
these experimental
pathos with
yeah, it's
this is never
very successful
and now.
And now it's
Chicago's
good man theater
in just,
so he's really
really much much
it's really
new and tazard
the wayne and it
make sure of
it's a lot of
kind of a lot of
sort of thought
you're going to
how you
do you know,
I think that all the
idea back back to
how it's all
just all the mind
in narrative
and actually
context of the context
about
and this
notack of allagic
other characters
how powerful
and they're
all together
and they all right
and they're all
this is a
full systemic process
about about
I'm thinking it
it's all
common point
is.
Two is
curiosity.
I think
in these
every time in
every time in
the same
need to
help to help
or some bad
investment
to do not and
it's just
how much
to make a
great,
creative work
work.
I think that
second is
unhhhh
.
Lickna
Vinnamrata
is a
exercise is.
Mere Baking
other come
other can
without,
it's
really can't
make a
more short
story or not.
Dunya in
any other
many.
there's
I think it's a good chakr
because if you're from
from the first from curious and humble
you're looking at least
you're more than what is
it's more than what is
how much is the
but you're
you're not even
you're just a
so I'm just a
chakr is a good chakr
in the first wheel
to get to
and I'm like that
it's a lot more
more amazing
more than what is
how is what is?
You're when
up?
I'm every day
I'm like 6'bages
up at least up at
I'm a lot of
I'm a lot of
I'm a lot of
I'm just
just thinking
time bittal
and then
I'm just
sometimes I'm
sometimes I'm
sometimes I'm
know, I'm
need to be able to
work just
you're doing,
usually walk
and you're
going to work,
uh,
gohmed away.
Do you?
Do you?
Or just
cuth, you're just
cuth and
things are
looking right?
No,
my day
other parts of
I'm
my past
I'm a lot
stuff had
so I'm
just my
