The Great Tech Game with Anirudh Suri

A venture capitalist and author decodes the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and global business for leaders and policymakers.

The brief

A podcast exploring how technology is reshaping global power dynamics, economics, and national destinies. The show operates in a dual format: long-form English interviews with high-profile global leaders (like Nobel laureates, VCs, and former national security advisors), and shorter Hindi-language recap episodes where the host and a co-host analyze the key takeaways from those interviews for a different audience.

Its dual-format structure—deep-dive English interviews paired with analytical Hindi recaps—is unique, making complex geopolitical topics accessible to a wider audience. The host's specific lens as an India-based VC with a US education and global policy background provides a perspective distinct from typical Western-centric tech podcasts.

What you'll be asked on this show

How the host interviews

The podcast has two formats. The main show features long-form, one-on-one interviews in English. A secondary format, "TGTG Hindi Recaps," consists of shorter, co-hosted analysis episodes in Hindi that break down the preceding English interview. The evidence provided only covers the recap format, so a detailed analysis of the host's direct interview style is not possible.
