“$10,000 Russian drones wiped out $10 million US tanks”

Welcome to War 8.0.

Raj M. Shah – former F-16 fighter pilot, ex-Director of Pentagon's Defence Innovation Unit, and Managing Partner, Shield Capital – shares the moment he realised, mid-mission, that consumer tech had stripped military hardware and software. Battle stories of how he "hacked" the Pentagon to save it – and delivered mission-critical technology. The new landscape of war. The next-gen guerrilla startup technologies subverting conflict and power. And how India and the US can partner together to strengthen defences.

In an eye-opening conversation with Ritika Passi, Executive Editor, Lucid Lines & Shoma Chaudhury, Founder of Lucid Lines & Founder-Director, SYNAPSE.
