Samiran Ghosh

Dr Samiran Ghosh has one credo: make technology fun for everyone. He has spent three decades across technology, business and public policy — as chief digital adviser at Microsoft, senior adviser at McKinsey, Asia technology leader at Dun & Bradstreet, and in 14 years of leadership roles at IBM. He also worked on India's Aadhaar digital identity programme in its formative years, and holds a doctorate in business administration.

He advises technology and AI ventures, serves on the Forbes Technology Council and is on the editorial board of Springer Nature's AI and Ethics journal. He is a TEDx speaker and has written for the Mint. He co-hosts the award-winning “funtech” podcast 3 Techies Banter, writes the newsletters Oh My Ghosh and Paws and Reflect, and co-authored the tech-fiction series Thuldrun.Sunya.

In his Hindustan Times column, he explores how technology changes beyond technology itself — across economics, geopolitics, business and society — and ensures serious ideas never become unnecessarily serious reading.
