GPS, UPI, Triangles - One Rule to Bind Them All? ft. Sanjay Purohit | #3TBPodcast
In this episode of 3 Techies Banter, Sanjay Purohit, CEO and Chief Curator at Centre for Exponential Change explains Societal Thinking as designing for society by combining design thinking and systems thinking across government, civil society, private sector, communities, and people. He argues that for population-scale challenges like education, healthcare, climate action, justice, and gender equity, it’s better to measure progress than success, and to start with the right scale-defining question.
He describes scaling as a network problem requiring multiple “Avengers”-like actors and emerging “system orchestrators,” and distinguishes context-free elements that should scale (like core rails and protocols) from context-aware and context-intensive work where change happens locally.
If you care about public infrastructure, social innovation, startups, policy, or simply thinking differently about big problems — this one is for you.
