What If War Hits Your Cloud | EP08

In this episode of We Make Heroes – Unfiltered Talks with the People Who Make India Move, we sit down with Dr. Hemant Adarkar, Technology Advisor, Public Interest Director and Tech Policy Researcher.

We use the cloud every day for -banking, payments, communication, and AI-driven services.

But what if the cloud is not as “virtual” as we assume?

In this episode, Rohan Patil speaks with Dr. Hemant Adarkar, Tech Policy Researcher & Public Interest Director, to explore a critical but often overlooked reality: the cloud is built on physical infrastructure — data centres, power systems, and global networks.

As digital adoption accelerates, these systems are becoming increasingly important and increasingly vulnerable.

From geopolitical conflicts to power disruptions, this episode examines how real-world events can directly impact digital services.

It also raises an important question for India’s growth story:

Can a nation scale digitally without strengthening the physical backbone behind it?
