In this episode of The AI Advantage, Matt Brown sits down with Arjun Parameswaran Iyer, co-founder and CEO of Alpha Direct, one of Africa’s most innovative insurance companies. Arjun shares how his team revolutionized insurance by literally putting it in a box, making protection affordable and accessible to over 100,000 previously uninsured people across Africa.
They explore what the rest of the world can learn from African innovation, from creating tech that works without internet access to redefining how AI could empower developing economies. Arjun also discusses the potential of AI-powered governance, the future of robotics, and why Africa’s youthful population could be the biggest driver of global tech adoption in the next decade.
