Payal Arora: “If you’re not looking at the Global South, you’re putting your business at high risk”

On my travels as an author and speaker, I encounter many interesting people. For this series I took the plunge to invite them into my hotel room and interview them. And it all starts with the question: “What have you binged lately?”

The first person on my bed in Amsterdam is Payal Arora. She is a digital anthropologist from India and she teaches as a professor in technology, values and global media cultures Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Her book ‘The Next Billion Users’ made me realise that our western-centric worldview is blinding us from an inevitable and interesting truth: the world is changing fast and the west is not setting the tone anymore.

Discover what we can learn from Payal Arora from only one question: “Was it a surprise that this series was such a succes?”
