ABISHUR PRAKASH BIOGRAPHY
Abishur Prakash is one of the world’s leading authorities and keynote speakers on geopolitics. For over a decade, Abishur Prakash has guided leaders through world affairs, providing businesses and governments with unparalleled insight, foresight and strategy.
Born in New Zealand to parents from India and raised in Australia and Canada, his upbringing spans multiple continents, enabling Prakash to provide unique perspectives on how the world works, from economy to culture to power and influence.
Abishur Prakash is a geopolitical strategist and the founder of The Geopolitical Business. A strategic advisory firm in Toronto, Canada, that helps businesses play geopolitics smartly. Abishur Prakash also publishes the internationally popular “Mr. Geopolitics,” a daily insight for leaders to understand what is happening in the world.
In 2023, Prakash was honored with an invitation to Sandor Palace, the official residence of the President of Hungary, to give a talk on the “Post-War Future,” the new world that is forming out of the Ukraine- Russia conflict. Shortly after this, Prakash coined the concept “Geopolitics first,” writing in an opinion piece that every organization must put geopolitics at the heart of their operations and strategy.
Prakash is a captivating and provocative speaker, able to engage with diverse audiences on topics ranging from Trump 2.0 to the US-China fight to the changing nature of global trade to the fusion of geopolitics and tech. His thoughts have also been cited in some of the world’s most viewed media outlets, including CNBC, Yahoo News, CNN, BBC, Nikkei Asia, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, the South China Morning Post, and the Economic Times, among others.
For over a decade, Abishur Prakash has been authoring books at the cutting edge of geopolitics, shedding light on what is coming and why it matters.
In 2016, Abishur Prakash wrote the first book on geopolitics and tech, titled “Next Geopolitics.” In quick succession, in 2019, he published the first book on geopolitics and AI. In 2021, Prakash wrote the global bestseller The World Is Vertical,” proposing that the world is fragmenting as nations establish barriers toward one another. Some of Prakash’s books have also been translated into other languages, expanding his ideas to millions across cultures.
Abishur Prakash is one of the key voices that leaders turn to when a global change or shock takes place. He can communicate with clarity and confidence about what is happening, why it matters, what’s next, and what an organization should do, regardless of sector or time zone. Prakash’s ideas, analysis, and perspectives demand attention, ensuring that audiences walk away with an intimate understanding of what is happening in the world and what it means for them.
As geopolitics disrupts the world, Abishur Prakash is more than just a speaker. Abishur Prakash is an “oracle of geopolitics,” leading stakeholders through a new era of change that is quickly knocking on the doors of every business and nation.

Abishur Prakash Speaking Testimonials
A must read book Next Geopolitics: The Future of World Affairs (Technology) by Abishur Prakash with many realistic scenarios of the future. While to many it might seem that the scenarios painted are extreme, I would take the position that the envelope could have been pushed even further still. For example on the topic of embryonics, one could imagine scenarios where in jurisdictions with universal health care, families being forced to have designer babies, just as vaccines are being mandated in states like California. Another scenario could be reproductive restrictions like we see in the GMO seed industry. Look forward to more from Abishur Prakash.
