At the start of 2025, we made bold predictions about technology, geopolitics, AI, regulation, and global power.
Now, we’re holding ourselves accountable.
In this episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna and Harinda revisit their 2025 predictions and break down:
What actually played out as expected
Which assumptions failed — and why
How power shifted across tech companies and governments
What surprised even us
What these outcomes signal for what comes next
From AI acceleration and regulatory pressure to U.S.–China tensions, Big Tech strategy, and geopolitical realignments, this episode isn’t about hindsight — it’s about learning how the system really moves.
If you want to understand why 2025 unfolded the way it did, and what it teaches us about predicting the future of tech and power, this is the episode.
