Medium bio

Ankur Pancholi works at the intersection of industrial automation, technology adoption and business leadership. His professional experience connects technical possibility with the people, relationships and decisions that turn it into practice. He is the creator and host of Beyond the Battlefield, a podcast exploring the Bhagavad Gita through modern leadership and human experience, and the creator of India Unwritten, an inquiry into India’s consciousness and civilisational memory.

Alongside his professional and creative work, photography offers another way of paying attention to the world. His inquiry is grounded in working life and in the question of what remains human as technology becomes more intelligent.

His professional focus includes industrial operations, digital transformation, customer relationships, partner ecosystems and leading teams through technological change. That experience informs his interest in the less visible dimensions of leadership: fear, attachment, ambition and the identities people feel compelled to defend.

Beyond the Battlefield approaches the Bhagavad Gita as an invitation to examine how people live. India Unwritten extends the inquiry into ideas, rituals and living traditions. The book, still in development, explores these questions through story. Across these forms, Ankur is interested in how understanding becomes lived experience.
