I’m Sameer Dhingra, and this is my personal blog where I write about the shifts shaping technology, retail, and digital innovation across Asia.
By day, I lead Retail & Consumer industry at Google Cloud for Asia Pacific & Japan. 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
If you work in tech, retail, SaaS, consumer industries, or just think about how digital creates value — you’ll probably find something useful here.
