Daybreak

This episode is a look back at four Daybreak, The Ken stories that stayed with us in 2025.

After three years of making the show, a few episodes each year stand out because they captured something shifting beneath the surface. These four did exactly that.

Host and producer Snigdha Sharma revisits a conversation feat. Waterfield Advisor's Soumya Rajan about why even India’s wealthiest women still fight for financial control, how China’s rare earth dominance exposed the fragility of India’s EV push, the global silver crunch that linked AI, clean energy, and everyday prices, and India's AI future.

Tune in.
