FIFA World Cup 2026

The biggest sporting event on the planet is finally here — and as a cricket and football fan who grew up watching World Cups with the family, this one feels different. Hosted across USA, Canada, and Mexico for the first time, 48 nations, and the question everyone’s debating: who gets past the knockouts.

The analytics side of me can’t help but follow the data stories too — player tracking, expected goals, how teams are using AI-assisted scouting. Sport is one of the best places to watch data actually change outcomes in real time.

Wimbledon 2026

Wimbledon is a fixture — the one tournament where tradition and elite performance sit together in a way that feels genuinely different to every other Slam. With my son playing junior tennis competitively, I watch the game differently now. The mental side, the pressure management, the way the best players reset between points.

We make it a family event most years — up early, match schedules on the screen, strong opinions about who should have gone to the net.

Embedding AI into life and work

The thing I keep coming back to: AI isn’t a project you deliver, it’s a habit you build. At work, that means moving the organisation from AI curiosity to AI capability — with the right governance and data foundations underneath. At home, it means experimenting with tools that actually save time or spark better thinking, not just adopting AI for its own sake.

The question I ask constantly: “Does this make the decision better, or just faster?” The answer changes a lot about how you deploy it.

What matters most

Making memories every day

This one is less a task and more an intention. With two kids growing fast, I’ve become more deliberate about the small things — being present at the dinner table, making it to the Saturday match, taking the long way home occasionally. The memories that stick aren’t usually the planned ones.

Kerala will always be home in the way that only a childhood home can be. Melbourne is where we’re building ours. Both matter, in different and complementary ways.
