ABISHUR PRAKASH BIOGRAPHY

Abishur Prakash is one of the world’s most respected voices on geopolitics and the forces transforming global power. He helps leaders interpret disruption, anticipate global shifts, and act strategically in an era of uncertainty.

He has become widely recognized for connecting geopolitics with technology, innovation, and global affairs, offering a forward-looking perspective that reshapes how organizations make decisions.

Born in New Zealand to Indian parents and raised in Australia and Canada, Abishur Prakash’s diverse upbringing gave him a unique understanding of how nations, cultures, and economies interact. This background enables him to provide analysis that is both globally informed and locally relevant.

Known globally as “Mr. Geopolitics,” he provides daily and long-term insights on emerging geopolitical issues to leaders and decision-makers. His ability to translate complex international dynamics into clear strategic guidance has earned him recognition across multiple industries and sectors.

Abishur Prakash’s work focuses on how global power structures, technological disruption, and political realignment are reshaping the future. His insights guide organizations in adapting to a new era where geopolitics influences every decision.

His perspectives have been featured in international outlets such as CNN, BBC, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal, reflecting his global influence and credibility. He is regarded as one of the youngest authorities redefining the field of geopolitical foresight.

Abishur Prakash has authored five influential books that explore the relationship between geopolitics, technology, and global change. His ideas have shaped new thinking about artificial intelligence, economic competition, and the fragmentation of globalization.

His book The World Is Vertical introduced the idea that nations are building new forms of separation—physical, digital, and psychological—that are redefining how the world connects. It has become a key reference for understanding modern global fragmentation.

Abishur Prakash also developed the concept of “Geopolitics First,” which emphasizes that political dynamics must guide innovation, investment, and economic strategy. He argues that leaders must integrate geopolitical intelligence into every decision to remain competitive.

He has presented at global forums and policy gatherings, where he has been invited to share insights on the evolving balance of power, technological sovereignty, and the emergence of new global alliances. His work bridges strategy, policy, and foresight to prepare leaders for what lies ahead.

In his sessions, Abishur Prakash examines key issues such as the competition between the United States and China, the future of artificial intelligence, and the shifting nature of globalization. His approach connects these developments to practical implications for business, government, and society.

Audiences appreciate his direct and analytical style, which focuses on clarity rather than commentary. He enables participants to identify the patterns shaping international relations and apply this understanding to strategic decisions.

His frameworks help organizations navigate uncertainty with greater confidence and purpose. By linking global forces to local realities, Abishur Prakash demonstrates how leaders can transform disruption into long-term advantage.

He continues to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersection between technology, economics, and politics. His insights provide a blueprint for how leaders can succeed in a world defined by rapid change and shifting influence.

Abishur Prakash remains committed to advancing a global dialogue that emphasizes informed decision-making and strategic foresight. His expertise empowers leaders to think beyond borders and position themselves effectively in an evolving geopolitical landscape.
