He served in the Prime Minister's Office under successive governments, was India's Ambassador to Russia and High Commissioner to Bangladesh, and from 2018 to 2021 was Deputy National Security Adviser under Narendra Modi. He has sat in closed-door summits with Vladimir Putin, was inside the PMO through the 26/11 attacks under Manmohan Singh, and saw up close how differently Modi and Manmohan ran the same office. Today he runs NatStrat, one of India's few serious strategic affairs think tanks. Blunt, precise, and completely uninterested in the myth-making around how power actually works.Follow Pankaj Saran on:X: https://x.com/PankajSaran11NatStrat: https://natstrat.orgTimestamps:00:00:00 – Coming Up00:01:37 – Meeting Putin Face To Face00:03:29 – Putin's Note-Card Method00:04:03 – What Putin Is Really Like00:05:34 – Manmohan Singh Up Close00:11:01 – 26/11 Hits The PMO00:13:20 – Modi Versus Manmohan Singh00:18:35 – Modi The Delhi Outsider00:19:49 – Modi The Bold Risk-Taker00:20:57 – Do Global Summits Actually Work00:24:24 – Trump's On-Camera Deal Style00:25:40 – Will
