The world is full of fascinating stories, but they're rarely told with the depth they deserve. I'm here to fix that.

I'm Nelson John, and welcome to my show. You might know me from "Top of the Morning" at Mint/Hindustan Times .

Each episode, I take one topic and go deep. Whether it's geopolitics, innovation, the future of our planet, or simply a story that restores your faith in humanity. I don't just tell you what's happening. I explain how and why it works.

If you're curious about the world and want to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, you're in the right place.

  • Is India's Tech Dream Ending? What Oracle's Layoffs Really Mean
    Apr 2 2026

    On March 31, 2026, Oracle executed the largest layoff in its 48-year history. Up to 30,000 employees worldwide were terminated via a five-line email at 6 AM. India was the hardest hit, losing an estimated 12,000 workers 40% of Oracle’s Indian workforce in a single day. Engineers, architects, senior managers, and 20-year veterans were all let go. Performance was not a factor. In this episode, Nelson John unpacks the financial logic behind Oracle’s decision: $58 billion in new debt, a $156 billion AI infrastructure commitment, a stock that’s lost half its value, and a company that still managed to post $6.13 billion in quarterly profit.

    We explore what this means for India’s five million strong IT sector, why the traditional outsourcing model is under threat, and how the AI economy is reshaping who gets hired, who gets fired, and who gets left behind.
