Beautifully moderated and great conversations about geopolitics, finance, and tech. A must listen
What a joy to listen to rich conversations with some of the world’s top economic and geopolitical thinkers. And it’s brilliantly navigated by Taimur — who neither talks down nor gets too far in the weeds, and allows his guests room to air out big ideas without unnecessary interruption. Here’s to many more!
A very thought provoking podcast. Extremely interesting to hear first hand from Asia’s leaders on the currents moving through our society.
I love this podcast. Gives a great insight into topical and interesting economic themes with a focus on Asia but with global relevance. Some brilliant guests all expertly marshalled by Mr Baig. Acts as an interesting lens on key macro developments such as digitalisation, COVID and the growing focus on ESG and sustainability. Am embarrassed to say I was about 30 episodes in before I realised Kopi is Malay for coffee!..
