What does digital independence really look like—and why does it matter who controls your online identity?
In this episode of the Exitfund Podcast, we sit down with Sajan Nair, founder of Agaamin Technologies, to unpack the story behind India’s homegrown answer to the global web. From his early days in advertising to building a decentralized, vernacular-first Internet for India, Sajan’s journey is about questioning what we take for granted: Who gives us our digital “citizenship”? What happens when the Internet itself becomes local? And why is privacy about more than data—it’s about owning your name?
Sajan reveals:
How Agaamin is building a “Bharatiya Internet” with domain names in every Indian language
The hidden power dynamics of today’s Internet—and why the rules are overdue for a rewrite
How a non-tech founder built a deep tech startup, and the pain of convincing engineers to follow
What digital sovereignty means for individuals, governments, and the next wave of creators
The challenges (and opportunities) of going against the global tech status quo
Why the future of social media might not need platforms at all
If you care about technology, language, privacy, or just building something that outlasts the next trend, this conversation will change the way you look at your digital world.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
