In this episode of the Innovators and Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Amar Bakshi, founder of Shared Studios and Noro, to explore how Amar’s visionary work is redefining human connection through immersive technology. Amar shares the evolution from his original art project, which connected strangers worldwide via life-size video portals installed in locations from New York to Tehran, refugee camps, and universities, to creating Noro’s cutting-edge video conferencing solutions that bridge the gap between virtual meetings and face-to-face interaction. They discuss the inspiration behind his projects, including his personal experiences as a journalist and his grandmother’s story of displacement, highlighting the emotional and cultural impact of authentic human connection. Amar explains the challenges of building a global network in complex political environments, the importance of community-led curation, and leveraging technology to enable deeper trust and collaboration beyond traditional video calls like Zoom. The conversation also covers insights into building company culture, navigating the transition from art to business, raising capital, and how AI and future tech innovations could enhance multilingual communication and intimacy in virtual settings. Amar closes by sharing lessons learned as a founder about balancing commitment with perspective and fostering inclusive, purpose-driven teams. This episode provides a thoughtful look at how technology can create meaningful, serendipitous human connections across borders and industries.
