Nobody has taught Nicolai as much about investing as John Armitage. First as his largest client, later as his boss for five years at Egerton Capital.

हम वाकई कितने करीब हैं हमेशा के लिए जीने के? लॉन्जेविटी (लंबी उम्र) आज दुनिया के सबसे चर्चित विषयों में से एक बन गया है—इसमें भारी निवेश हो रहा है और ज़्यादा जीने के तरीकों को लेकर राय की कोई कमी नहीं। विज्ञान को हाइप से अलग करने के लिए निकोलाई टैंगन बात करते हैं सर वेंकी रामाकृष्णन से—रसायन विज्ञान के नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता, रॉयल सोसाइटी के पूर्व अध्यक्ष, और Why We Die के लेखक। दोनों समझते हैं कि बुढ़ापा असल में है क्या, क्यों इंसान की अधिकतम उम्र में मुश्किल से ही कोई बदलाव आया है, सेल्युलर रिप्रोग्रामिंग की संभावनाएं और उसकी सीमाएं, और लंबी उम्र वाले समाज से जुड़े नैतिक सवाल। वेंकी उन आसान आदतों के बारे में भी बताते हैं जो सबसे ज़्यादा मायने रखती हैं: नींद, संयम और व्यायाम। जीवन, मृत्यु और उनके बीच की हर बात पर एक साफ़-नज़रिए वाली बातचीत के लिए ज़रूर सुनें! —— Venki Ramakrishnan: The Science and Hype of Living Longer How close are we, really, to living forever? Longevity has become one of the hottest topics in the world, drawing huge investment and endless opinions about how to live longer. To separate science from hype, Nicolai Tangen turns to Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate in chemistry, former President of the Royal Society, and author of Why We Die. They unpack what ageing actually is, why the maximum human lifespan has hardly moved, the promise and limits of cellular reprogramming, and the ethics of a longer-living society. Venki also shares the simple habits that matter most: sleep, moderation, and exercise. Tune in for a clear-eyed conversation on life, death, and everything in between! Hosted on Acast.

Together with Nicolai Tangen, he unpacks how his team unmasked Navalny's poisoners and tracked the downing of flight MH17 using nothing but publicly available data. Eliot explains the discipline at the heart of his work: never prejudge a situation, follow the evidence before forming an opinion, and guard against your own biases. The conversation also explores why speed matters when truth competes with lies, how AI gives people "permission to deny reality," and what disinformation means for democracy.

This live recorded episode of In Good Company features Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, the world's leading open source investigative collective — a self-taught college dropout who began tracking the Syrian war from his kitchen table. Together with Nicolai Tangen, he unpacks how his team unmasked Navalny's poisoners and tracked the downing of flight MH17 using nothing but publicly available data. Eliot explains the discipline at the heart of his work: never prejudge a situation, follow the evidence before forming an opinion, and guard against your own biases. The conversation also explores why speed matters when truth competes with lies, how AI gives people "permission to deny reality," and what disinformation means for democracy. Tune in for a fascinating conversation! In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management.

निकोलाई टैंगन बात करते हैं Snowflake के CEO श्रीधर रामास्वामी से। Snowflake एक डेटा प्लेटफ़ॉर्म है जो दुनिया की आधी सबसे बड़ी कंपनियों को चलाता है। इस बातचीत में वे समझते हैं कि डेटा और AI की दुनिया में असल में क्या हो रहा है। दोनों इन बातों पर गहराई से चर्चा करते हैं: Snowflake सिर्फ़ इस्तेमाल के हिसाब से पैसे लेता है (कंजम्पशन-बेस्ड प्राइसिंग), और यही बात इसे आम सॉफ़्टवेयर कंपनियों से अलग बनाती है। श्रीधर अब मानते हैं कि AI मॉडल बनाने वाली कंपनियाँ टेक इंडस्ट्री में सबसे बड़ा ख़तरा हैं—बाक़ी किसी से भी ज़्यादा। और AI एजेंट अब हर चीज़ बदल रहे हैं—डेटा पाइपलाइन से लेकर सॉफ़्टवेयर इंजीनियरिंग तक। श्रीधर अपनी कंपनी Neva के बारे में भी बात करते हैं—उसे शुरू करना और फिर उसका नाकाम होना, और इससे उन्होंने क्या सीखा। साथ ही वे उन मूल्यों के बारे में बताते हैं जिन्होंने उन्हें तमिलनाडु से टेक इंडस्ट्री के शिखर तक पहुँचाया: मेहनत, हर हाल में ढल जाना, और हार न मानना। यह दिलचस्प बातचीत ज़रूर सुनें! —— Snowflake CEO: How AI Agents Will Transform the Workplace Nicolai Tangen sits down with Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake, the data platform powering half the world's largest companies, to explore what's really happening at the frontier of data and AI. They dig into how Snowflake's consumption-based pricing sets it apart from traditional software models, why Sridhar now considers AI model companies a bigger competitive threat than anyone else in tech, and how AI agents are transforming everything from data pipelines to software engineering itself. Sridhar also reflects on the lessons learned from founding and failing with Neva, and shares the values of hard work, adaptability, and resilience that have shaped him from Tamil Nadu to the top of the tech industry.
