Long-form conversations with the founders, operators and investors building India's harder companies — robotics and silicon, credit and insurance, supply chains and studios.
The engineer behind four decades of landmark silicon says the CPU-versus-GPU debate is over: soon there will be AI computers and deterministic computers, collaborating like cortices in one brain. Tenstorrent's bet — a graph-shaped data-flow chip and a clean-slate RISC-V team in India — aims at the 80% of world compute Keller says goes AI within ten years.

The Upstream Life is a series of long-form conversations with the founders, operators and investors building India's harder companies — robotics and silicon, credit and insurance, supply chains and studios. We go upstream of the headline, to how the thing was actually built.
Every episode ships with a listening lab: a sixty-second brief, the ideas worth carrying into your own work, the lines worth keeping — and for the flagship dives, the numbers drawn out and the hour mapped chapter by chapter.
