On a warm day in June, Swati and Vijay Advani hosted an evening of heated engagement on the lawns of their home in Atherton, California. Gathered in their backyard were 50 of Silicon Valley’s brightest minds to listen to Milan Vaishnav, a senior fellow and director of the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Vaishnav is also host of the Grand Tamasha podcast and author of ‘Institutional Roots of India's Security Policy’ and ‘When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics’ (Yale University Press and HarperCollins India, 2017).

The topic of discussion was the results of the 2024 general elections in India where the ruling party came back to form the government but with a reduced number of seats. Vaishnav gave an overview of what happened in the Lok Sabha elections in India.
