Story
My name is Abishur Prakash. I work with companies and nations, helping them deal with geopolitics.
My journey to this point, like many others, is unorthodox. I was born in New Zealand to parents from India. I had my childhood in Australia, and have grown as an adult in Canada. From the get-go, my DNA was global.
​
Little did I know, but this type of upbringing, encompassing multiple cultures and time zones, would influence the direction of my life down the road. During my time in university, I gravitated towards a deeper understanding of how the world worked. A short entrepreneurial stint later, and it became clear to me that my passion lay in geopolitics.
​
Since 2013, geopolitics has been my specialization and forte.
My focus is on the big macro transformations, starting with "Next Geopolitics" (my expression for geopolitics+tech) to "Vertical Globalization" (the new design of globalization) to "The Metamorphosis" (the new era of geopolitics underway).
​
For almost a decade, I worked as a Geopolitical Futurist at Center for Innovating the Future (CIF), a strategy-foresight firm, advising clients on what's next for geopolitics. Today, I work as a Geopolitical Strategist at The Geopolitical Business, Inc, a strategic advisory firm in Toronto, Canada, where I keep organizations competitive and profitable as a new era of geopolitics begins.
​
Since 2016, I have published multiple books on geopolitics, including "Next Geopolitics: Volume One & Two," "Go.AI (Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence)" and "The World Is Vertical." Some of my titles have also been published in other languages.
​
I am based in Toronto and very much enjoy meeting new people. If you are ever in the city, it would be great to meet (abishur at nextgeopolitics dot com).
