August 30, 2023 AI in Healthcare; can chatGPT replace Doctors? Here's what you should know before AI takes over!
Anaesthetics and ICU doctor by training, CEO of SomX (a healthtech and biotech-specific communications group) and host of the Healthtech Podcast, Dr James Somauroo had a lot to share on the future of AI in the Healthcare & Healthtech space. While most talk about their fascination with AI and how it can revolutionalise the way things are done from using ChatGPT to plan your holiday, getting that school essay written for you or sensor-driven production improvement, we attempted to explore how AI can risk disrupting the Healthcare space if its application is banalised.

June 29, 2023The Reality of the Bollywood Industry; Her mother-in-law supported her decision in keeping her maiden name after marriage
**Trigger warning: This conversation references death and some cases in the Accident & Emergency ward.
International actor model, Shiksha Matabadul, reveals she was messed around as a non-lead character, on an Indian tv show set. Bold and vocal, yet her views may shock some. Feminist or not feminist? She calls it a Generational Curse. She did not take her husband's family name after she got married and interestingly enough, it was her mother-in-law who supported her.
A former A&E nurse for NHS UK, Shiksha shares the dark hours spent in ward, often dealing with life & death situations. In this conversation, we also discuss the current NHS crisis, how stretched staff are and yet underpaid when nearly 40% of the UK population go to A&E every year!
