🎉 Bidding Adieu to 2024 🎉 What a whirlwind of a year it has been—filled with exploration, learning, and endless adventure! As I look back, I can’t help but feel a mix of gratitude and excitement for the journey so far. At The Digital Economist, I delved deeper into operational challenges and opportunities. The learning curve? Steep. But the rewards? Worth it! The most fulfilling part has been meeting brilliant minds from diverse backgrounds—each conversation and collaboration added new dimensions, and I absolutely loved being in the middle of innovation and impact. A special shoutout to Navroop K. Sahdev and Jose Carvalho for being incredible companions on this journey! At RIEDU, I took a leap of faith (and out of my comfort zone!) by stepping in front of the camera—something I never imagined doing. A big shoutout to my amazing team for giving me that push! From webinars to Instagram Lives, sessions at The Young Editors Program, and RIEDU’s vibrant book club, every moment has been a celebration of creativity and passion. Working with like-minded dreamers who share the same crazy aspirations is nothing short of magical. Gratitude for the amazing humans who surround my life: Bhavya Paruthi, Riya Pruthi, Ayushman Harlalka, @Aahana, Surbhi Arora, Radhika Khosla Walia, Jim Tharakan and Gopika Karol. You all make the journey so much brighter! 🌟 ✨ As the year closes, I cherish the learnings gained and memories made. But here’s to 2025—a new chapter to learn, grow, and dream even bigger. The journey of learning, unlearning, and relearning never stops, and I’m ready to embrace it all with open arms. 💫 Cheers to the new year, to new adventures, and to all of you who’ve been part of this incredible ride. Let’s make 2025 extraordinary together! 💫 #Goodbye2024 #Hello2025 #Gratitude #Innovation #Growth #LearningJourney

🎄 Merry Christmas Eve!!!! Here's my 11 Predictions for 2025! (See Forbes for more details: https://bit.ly/49UZVWN ) Predictions are hard, and fun. What do you think? (You can see I have a broad set of interests!) 1️⃣ Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Expand: Expect at least five Fortune 500 companies to allocate over 5% of their reserves to Bitcoin, creating a ripple effect that stabilizes crypto markets and fuels mainstream adoption. 2️⃣ Next Practices Take the Lead: Businesses will abandon outdated "best practices" in favor of forward-thinking "next practices." These strategies will prioritize innovation and create entirely new markets. As I’ve said, "Next practices focus on anticipating opportunities, not imitating past successes." 3️⃣ Micro-Dramas Will Dominate Entertainment: AI-driven, hyper-personalized stories will transform how we consume content. 🎥 “In the future, stories will find you, not the other way around,” shares Anina Net, Founder of 360 Fashion Network. 4️⃣ AI-Native Startups Redefine Business: Companies built entirely around AI capabilities will emerge as leaders. “AI-native businesses set new standards for adaptability and innovation,” says Navroop K. Sahdev , CEO of the The Digital Economist. 5️⃣ Explainable AI Becomes the Standard: Transparency in AI decision-making will reshape how businesses build trust. Hassan Sawaf, CEO of aiXplain, puts it perfectly: “Explainability unlocks AI’s full potential and bridges the gap between technology and people.” 6️⃣ Emotion Marketing Takes Center Stage: AI will analyze micro-emotions in real time to craft marketing campaigns that connect deeply with customers. A. Lee Judge, co-founder of Content Monsta, notes: “Emotion marketing is the ultimate storytelling tool, creating personal and unforgettable experiences.” 7️⃣ Branded TLDs Transform Digital Identity: Web3 domains like .BRAND will create secure, immersive ecosystems for businesses. Matthew Gould, CEO of Unstoppable Domains, says: “Custom TLDs will redefine loyalty and trust in the digital age.” 8️⃣ Crypto’s Regulatory Moment Arrives: Clearer regulations will attract conservative institutional investors, making the market more stable and less speculative. 9️⃣ Tokenization Unlocks $16 Trillion in Real Assets: Fractional ownership of real estate, art, and other assets will become mainstream. Nina Fabbri, CEO of PropyKeys, sums it up: “Tokenization is unlocking doors for investors everywhere.” 🔟 Quantum Prototypes Take Shape: Quantum computing will focus on niche use cases, such as optimizing pharma research and financial modeling. Though full-scale applications are years away, 2025 will lay the groundwork for transformative progress. 🎯 The Convergence in Predictions: These shifts aren’t just trends—they represent the convergence of technology and opportunity. The organizations that embrace these innovations with a human-first mindset will define the future.

Thankyou for the opportunity The Digital Economist and Dr Maha Hosain Aziz. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in Wikistrat’s NYU Riskathon 2025.
