In this episode, Simi sits down with a familiar face, Seema Mody, CNBC Global Markets Reporter.

A leading business journalist, Seema is CNBC’s FIRST South Asian on-air personality. She joined the network in 2011 and currently focuses on the intersection of foreign policy and Wall Street, as well as the travel industry. She also hosts European Close, a daily segment that keeps U.S. investors informed on European market happenings.

Seema has appeared on several additional CNBC shows including Street Signs, Closing Bell, and The Kudlow Report. In 2014, she spent a year in London, co-anchoring Worldwide Exchange as well as other live reports for CNBC Europe. Her journey in journalism actually kicks off with CNBC-TV18 in Mumbai, India, where she covered the country’s economy and co-anchored programs like Power Breakfast and After the Bell. Her reporting to date spans COVID-19, biotechnology, Brexit, Indian elections, and more. A graduate of the University of Washington, Seema initially began her career at Accenture. And beyond the newsroom, she is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations — the prominent American think tank. In this episode, Seema reflects on her return to India as a reporter and the intricacies of covering global markets in today's fast-paced world.
