In this episode, Host Anirudh Suri and guest Helen discuss the significant global elections in 2024, including those in the US, UK, and India, and analyze how current geopolitical disruptions might impact these elections. Additionally, they explore how the outcomes of these elections, particularly in the United States, could shape global geopolitics by the end of 2024.
