Can Bollywood's Big Boys Play The Microdrama Game?
India's biggest production houses are moving into micro-drama — but entering a format is very different from mastering it. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury, ET's in house film journalist and critic Rajesh Naidu and AI-native micro drama platform Dashverse founder Sanidhya Narain examine three defining tensions in the micro-drama space: whether the format can genuinely serve as an IP testing ground for films and series, whether legacy studios have the structural DNA to compete in a high-volume, low-cost game, and whether China's ad-dominant revenue model can work in India's marketListen in:You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like:ET Deep Dive: Swipe Left on Reality,India wants manufacturing at 25% of GDP — will AI in factories help?, Tanay Kothari Wants To Kill The Keyboard, From Doer to Director: The LinkedIn Playbook for the AI Agea, Semaglutide Goes Generic: Big Pharma’s Moat Breaks and much more.

Can Modi Halt India’s Gold Rush?
When a Prime Minister asks a billion people to stop buying gold, something has already broken. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury sits down with Suvankar Sen, MD and CEO of Senco Gold, Atmadip Ray, Senior Editor at The Economic Times, and Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist at Bank of Baroda — on what actually happened to consumer demand the moment Modi spoke, why India's ₹16 lakh crore gold loan market is now under RBI's scanner, and whether a rupee at 95, a crude bill of $123 billion and a $38 billion drop in forex reserves adds up to a crisis — or careful management. The numbers are stark. The question is whether the policy response is early enough.You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like:ET Deep Dive: Swipe Left on Reality,India wants manufacturing at 25% of GDP — will AI in factories help?, Tanay Kothari Wants To Kill The Keyboard, From Doer to Director: The LinkedIn Playbook for the AI Agea, Semaglutide Goes Generic: Big Pharma’s Moat Breaks and much more.

Parachute to Popcorn: Marico CEO on Acquisitions, Ambition & Attrition
Marico went on a shopping spree — three deals, 700 crores, three weeks. But is it swiftly reinventing itself for the TikTok generation, or a legacy FMCG giant papering over a slowing core with shiny digital acquisitions? MD and CEO Saugata Gupta makes his case to host and ET’s FMCG editor Ratna Bhushan — a 28-year-old average workforce, founders left to run free, and a digital business he promises will hit teens EBITDA by 2030. He also gets unusually candid about the bloodbath in FMCG boardrooms, why CEO tenures are shrinking globally, and what it really takes to build a succession plan that outlasts the boss.

The Chinese Cancer Fix
A quiet revolution is underway in Indian oncology. Chinese-origin cancer drugs, brought to India through a growing number of pharma partnerships, are dramatically cutting the cost of immunotherapy — making treatment accessible to patients who previously had no options. Doctors are prescribing them, patients are responding well, and Indian companies — from Glenmark to Dr Reddy’s to Intas — are signing billion-dollar deals to expand access further. Western immunotherapy can cost up to five lakh rupees per session. Chinese-origin alternatives are bringing that down to fifty thousand. This episode explores how the India-China pharma axis is reshaping who gets treated, and how.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mythos and the New AI Cyber Panic
When an AI system can autonomously find and exploit vulnerabilities at scale — who controls the risk? In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury sits down with Gary Marcus, AI expert, scientist and author to examine Anthropic's Mythos — a frontier AI system built for defensive cybersecurity that has rattled governments, central banks, and security researchers worldwide. The conversation unpacks why the dual-use dilemma at Mythos's core is so difficult to resolve, how India's financial and digital infrastructure sits squarely in the line of fire, and what RBI, MeitY, and Indian banks are quietly preparing for. From Anthropic's Project Glasswing to the limits of regulatory readiness, the episode probes whether the institutions meant to protect us are moving fast enough — and whether a defensive tool, in the wrong hands, is a defensive tool at all.Listen in:You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: X and Linkedin Check out other interesting episodes like:ET Deep Dive: Swipe Left on Reality,India wants manufacturing at 25% of GDP — will AI in factories help?, Tanay Kothari Wants To Kill The Keyboard, From Doer to Director: The LinkedIn Playbook for the AI Agea, Semaglutide Goes Generic: Big Pharma’s Moat Breaks and much more.

India's Biggest Trade Partner Is China. Now what?
China just surpassed the US as India's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $151 billion and a trade deficit that has ballooned to an all-time high of $112 billion. Beijing has also rolled out sweeping new supply chain rules that could penalise companies moving manufacturing out. So what does this mean for India? John Quelch, American President, Executive Vice Chancellor and Distinguished Professor of Social Science, Duke Kunshan University argues the deficit isn't the real story. China plays a long, calculated game — on tariffs, on technology, on geopolitics. India needs to learn to read that game, not react to it. From the Trump-Xi summit to robots, rare earths, and the untapped potential of two ancient civilisations — this conversation reframes everythingListen in:You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like: How Will a Volatile ₹ Impact You in 2026?, How Quick Commerce is Triggering a Health Crisis for Gen Z, Two Women Fought to Change India's Maternity Laws...and Succeeded, Can India Truly End Naxalism?, Semaglutide Goes Generic: Big Pharma’s Moat Breaks and much more.

Polls on my Pod: Bengal Flips, Vijay Disrupts, Kerala Resets
A political script has been torn up across India’s key states. Tamil Nadu sees actor Vijay’s TVK disrupt decades of Dravidian dominance. West Bengal delivers a stunning power shift as BJP ends a 15-year Trinamool rule. Assam doubles down on continuity, handing Himanta Biswa Sarma a third term and deepening BJP’s hold. And Kerala returns to its classic anti-incumbency cycle, giving Congress a crucial win. In this episode of Polls on My Pod, Nidhi Sharma and ET's Dia Rekhi, Kumar Anshuman and CL Manoj decode the deeper story—fracturing vote banks, new social coalitions, and what these mandates signal for national politics ahead.
