I’m Sameer Dhingra, and this is my personal blog where I write about the shifts shaping Retail & Consumer, AI and technology across Asia.
By day, I work at the intersection of Retail & Consumer, technology and business transformation. But this is my space to step back — just as someone trying to make sense of what’s next. It’s a place to spot signals from a technology lens, share frameworks and document what I’m seeing in the field
AI is naturally becoming a bigger part of what I write about, not just the technology itself, but where it creates value, how it gets implemented, and how it is changing the way businesses operate.
But the lens remains broader: technology, innovation, commerce, platforms, business models and the shifts reshaping Retail & Consumer across Asia.
If you work in technology with a focus on retail, consumer industries or simply think about how technology creates business value, you’ll probably find something useful here.
