She’s also the author of the award-winning book “The Next Billion Users” from Harvard Press, and her new book “From Pessimism to Promise: Lessons from the Global South on Designing Inclusive Tech” will be released in this fall by MIT Press.

Payal joins Robb and Josh for a frank and eye-opening exploration of technology and innovation in the Global South. The conversation examines the reasons why pessimism is a luxury of the privileged, how generalizations can fail designers, and the problematic relationship between innovation and excess.
