Fika with Uma Subramanian and Skipper Chong Warson

How would you like to cut your commute time from hours to minutes? How would you like to say goodbye to traffic forever? What if we said this is possible today, but you’d have to swap your car (or train or bus) for a helicopter? And you’d be able to do it all for the cost of a car service. Sound too good to be true? Well, on-demand helicopter service (think the Uber of the skies) is now available in São Paulo, Brazil, and soon may be coming to your congested city, too. In this Fika episode, we talk to Uma Subramanian, CEO of Voom, about the future of urban mobility and the on-demand helicopter service she’s building today.

Om Podcasten

Named for the Swedish custom that eschews the ‘on-the-go paper coffee cup’ routine in favor of slowing down and catching up with colleagues and friends, the Fjord Fika podcast features unscripted conversations with key luminaries and thought leaders in technology and design. Sometimes strange, but always interesting, each Fika conversation offers a fresh, honest look at all sides of innovation – the good, the bad and the ugly – and the impact on society. Fjord is a design and innovation consultancy, part of Accenture Interactive.
