3 Techies Banter #3TB

What if the India we know today was only a fraction of the India that existed a century ago?

On this episode of 3 Techies Banter, we sit down with Sam Dalrymple — Scottish historian, author and co-founder of Project Dastaan — to explore the forgotten histories, borders and cultural connections that shaped modern South Asia.

Sam's book Shattered Lands looks beyond the familiar story of Partition in 1947 and explores the multiple ruptures that transformed the subcontinent. From one Indian Empire passport becoming 12 different national identities to the forgotten separation of Burma in 1937, this conversation challenges the way we have been taught to understand India's history.

Sam also shares the deeply personal story of reconnecting his friend Sparsh with his ancestral village in Pakistan — and with the family of the man who had protected his grandfather during the violence of Partition.

This is a conversation about history, identity, technology, memory, borders and the stories that disappear when we only look at history through today's map.

The Mother-in-Law, the Balcony and other Weird Canine Requests | ft. Shirin Dhabhar

On the 3 Techies Banter podcast, founders Karantaj Singh and Shaayak Chatterjee of Breathe ESG discuss how their sustainability software emerged from consulting and on-ground CSR work where ESG data was fragmented across departments, spreadsheets, and even paper registers.

They explain there was no single “aha” moment - more perseverance and ambition to build an India-based solution that helps large companies become more sustainable - while narrowing focus from an early “Breathe Impact” idea to ESG management and later “Zero” for Scope 3 and net zero. They outline how they convince skeptical leaders by highlighting reputation, operational efficiency, and financial incentives like sustainability-linked loans, and address misconceptions that ESG is a small subfunction or only for manufacturers.

The episode covers solving data ingestion via integrations, OCR/LLMs, mobile workflows, and handling multiple global regulations with overlapping metrics, plus a quick rapid-fire round.

The ESG Alphabet Soup: BRSR, CSRD and WTF Is My Hotel Bill Doing Here? ft. Karantaj and Shaayak

In this episode of 3 Techies Banter, Sanjay Purohit, CEO and Chief Curator at Centre for Exponential Change explains Societal Thinking as designing for society by combining design thinking and systems thinking across government, civil society, private sector, communities, and people. He argues that for population-scale challenges like education, healthcare, climate action, justice, and gender equity, it’s better to measure progress than success, and to start with the right scale-defining question. 

He describes scaling as a network problem requiring multiple “Avengers”-like actors and emerging “system orchestrators,” and distinguishes context-free elements that should scale (like core rails and protocols) from context-aware and context-intensive work where change happens locally. 

If you care about public infrastructure, social innovation, startups, policy, or simply thinking differently about big problems — this one is for you.
