MUMBAI/NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 – Bloomberg New Economy today announced the launch of Emerging, a new podcast series exploring the challenges and opportunities facing some of the world’s most exciting, rising economies. The six-episode limited series will run in the lead-up to and following the Bloomberg New Economy Forum (the Forum) held in New Delhi this October, and will span both audio and video. Emerging premiered on July 9.
Hosted by Bloomberg News Senior Editor Menaka Doshi and Bloomberg TV Anchor Haslinda Amin, Emerging offers a guide to the new economies shaping the future of everything from AI to entertainment. In each episode, Doshi and Amin sit down with influential decision-makers, innovators, and thought leaders for deep-dive conversations
on critical topics impacting the superpowers of tomorrow.
Kicking off the series on July 9, the debut episode shines a spotlight on the AI haves and have-nots among emerging economies. Doshi is joined by two leading voices in India’s AI industry: Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-Founder, Group Chief Executive and Executive Vice-Chairman of Fractal Analytics, India’s first publicly listed pure-play AI company; and Ganesh Ramakrishnan, professor of AI, machine learning, and natural language processing at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Together, they will explore how India can gain an edge in AI when the technology is heavily dominated by the U.S. and China.
Subsequent episodes of Emerging will be published on the first Thursday of each month from August to December, and will tackle diverse themes including whether Singapore is truly the best model for rapid economic development, and the importance of soft power in a country’s rise. Future guests include Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Power Company Limited, one of India’s oldest and largest integrated power utilities, Mohit Bhargava, Country Director of the India Energy & Climate Center at UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy, and many other experts and leaders.
The podcast series draws inspiration from the theme of the eighth Bloomberg New Economy Forum, “A World in Play: Defining the New Levers of Power.” Convening for the first time in New Delhi from October 13-15, 2026, the Forum will bring together over 500 public and private sector leaders from around the world. Delegates will examine the changing state of geopolitics, identify the risks and opportunities presented by this period of uncertainty, exchange ideas, and collaborate on a roadmap toward future prosperity.
Emerging is available in both video and audio formats, and can be found on Bloomberg.com, Bloomberg TV, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app and Spotify.
