Crazy adversarial interviewer, and Aravind frankly killed it with a calm and conscious answers through this new era of technology. Was in the room and you can tell the tech community’s energy is very behind him.

Agreed! Omg.. I like TechCrunch less now because of this. I mean what’s right or wrong is up to the judge, but if they don’t like them, don’t have them there, is that hard?!

@ they threw a great event this week and I think this was still very engaging conversation all withstanding. Seems like the interviewer may have had some personal grievance coming from a journalism background, but I think it brought about a very candid conversation which is welcomed.

My god, this interviewer is an a-hole..
the quickfire round on acquisition offers? Why do a few lame tech journalists treat those transactions like tabloid gossip – and expect that he would divulge non-public info, heavily tied up in paperwork with third-parties.. what’s even the point?

On my last search in Google (my search bar default is now GPT Search),
there were:
top-4 results – SPONSORED
4 YT videos (full of Google ads)
next 3-results – SHITTY LISTICLES
bottom-3 results – SPONSORED
Google USED to be about finding the most apt and useful info. I guess that was a long time ago. They can just generate $150BN/year with these shenanigans instead..
And this interviewer finds so many problems with someone who tries to offer something better????

It sounds pretty adversarial, but it’s kinda good for reporters to ask tough questions, and hopefully he keeps the same energy when talking to other leaders in the space. Also, wonderfully handled by Arvind tbh.

Hehe Will this editor have the same body language and questions to Elon M?

The questions actually reveal more about the interviewer than Aravind. Admire the patience and well thought out answers from Aravind. Inspiring.
