This week, we bring you Johanna’s discussion with Anirudh Suri, Managing Partner at India Internet Fund and author of the new book, The Great Tech Game: Shaping Geopolitics and the Destinies of Nations.

The pair canvass what it’s actually like being a venture capitalist, Anirudh’s motivation for writing the book, and how the rules of the “great tech game” differ from the rules of the “great game” that dominated colonial era geostrategic competition. Anirudh challenges us to think beyond bipolar (West/China) perspectives and to take a broader view of the forces shaping the technology that is shaping our world.
