Future Unplugged | Ep. 9 - If it matters, it shouldn't be a "good to have" with Nishant Arya | Jist

Every company keeps a "good to have" list. It's where the things you'll fund later go to wait: sustainability, new technology, spare capacity, honest feedback. Nishant Arya built a career on transforming a "good to have" list into non-negotiables. In 2010, he bet a stable, profitable auto components business on electric buses, before the policy, the infrastructure, or the belief existed. It was a way of deciding what's actually non-negotiable long before the market forces everyone else to catch up. On this episode of Future Unplugged, Sanjeev Krishan speaks with Nishant Arya, Vice Chairman of JBM Group, on conviction ahead of the curve, complexity as a competitive moat, the one thing AI will never take off the factory floor, and why the leaders who treat the future as optional are the ones who end up late. A conversation for anyone building something that has to outlast the way it works today.
