Virtues required to build a business today seem to have become a cliché. What often gets lost in the cracks are the subtle nuances that actually make or break a business. The importance of risk-taking and the power of a contrarian mindset in running a successful venture requires far more than mere intellect. Founders of OYO, Mama Earth, and Rare Rabbit open up about what makes them tick, from the impact of their upbringing on their ambition to the drive towards financial independence. Their experiences remind us that the real ‘secret’ to building a successful business is learning from every challenge and opportunity one encounters We break down traits that seem to persist in high-performing individuals, not all of which come from a happy space. Financial insecurity and childhood traumas shape much of how we act and operate as adults. Watch this episode to learn about how when it is channeled the right way, it can prove to be the building blocks of the traits needed to build a successful business. #Nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...

Building an EV company isn’t easy. For context, assembling battery packs requires companies to adhere to manufacturing standards even higher than 6 Sigma. But that's not all; it also involves sourcing resources like lithium and cobalt, developing charging infrastructure, addressing range anxiety, and much more. In this episode, we delve into the world of electric vehicles with industry pioneer Chetan Maini from Sun Mobility, whose inspiration came from his university days racing an EV across Australia in the 1990s, leading to the inception of Reva. Now at Sun Mobility, Chetan is all in for battery swapping. Tarun Mehta of Ather has a 1000-member R&D team, the largest for two-wheelers in the world. Punit Goyal of BluSmart, who has an illustrious career in the renewable energy space, studied renewable energy in the UK to revolutionize ride-hailing with BluSmart, and Suruchi Rao of Ossus Biorenewables shares her insights on climate change and green hydrogen.

Roughly 60% of the Indian population is under the age of 30 and hence the coolness funnel tends to be top-down. This is the segment that everyone will be building for. The consumption trends and behavioral patterns we hear here from these 4 accomplished people will likely remain relevant over the next decade. We have Navya - who's an unlikely grounded person one usually wouldn't assume, the precocious Zepto Brothers - where what stands out more than everything else is the bond 2 guys who met in the 6th-grade share with each other, and Tara - an outsider who paved her way into the very inside world of Bollywood. The transient nature of younger folks when it comes to housing/transport/ownership/vocation/fashion/shopping and the shorter attention spans are very different to someone like me who spends 8 hours watching a cricket match for example. Biases aside, there is so much to learn here!

A few years ago, who could've guessed where we'd be with algorithms, platforms, or the explosion of short-form content? Today, we've got some of the top content creators to help you navigate the ever-changing world of content creation. In this one, Tanmay Bhat returns to the podcast for the 3rd time! He's worn many hats over his long journey, from a TV writer to a comedian to an ad maker, integrating all those skills across his social media platforms. Ranveer Allahbadia, aka BeerBiceps, started off by educating people about fitness and has evolved to having deep discussions about topics he’s curious about through his podcast. He’s a natural at making people feel comfortable and getting them to open up (as I’ve experienced on his podcast). We're also joined by Prajakta Koli, who's carved out her own unique space in the world of content creation, with her work extending from social media to OTT platforms and even Bollywood! And Nuseir Yassin of Nas Daily, known for making 1,000 one-minute videos in 1,000 days, is now also transitioning into the offline world with events, experiences, & businesses for his community. Skills, tools, or nuances, we got it all covered. #NikhilKamath: Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon & Gruhas Follow Nikhil here: Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Koo https://www.kooapp.com/profile/Nikhilkamath #TanmayBhat: Co-Founder of AIB, Comedian, Content Creator, & Investor Follow Tanmay Here: Twitter https://twitter.com/thetanmay Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tanmaybhat/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tanmaycomedy/ Linkedin https://in.linkedin.com/in/thetanmay Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/tanmay316 #RanveerAllahbadia (Beer Biceps): Content Creator, Podcast Host, and Co-Founder of Monk Entertainment, Level Supermind, and BigBrainCo.

It’s easier to set up an arms factory than to sell a sandwich or a drink. This reflects the hidden complexity the restaurant world possesses. As Indians we are culturally inclined to want options when it comes to our food, we go to multicuisine restaurants with our families, cafés with our work friends, fine dining for our dates, and pubs with our friends! We judge the AC temperature, the music, the food, the waiter, the cutlery, and everything in between. This involves not only recipe building but also mastering technology, marketing, interior design, and much more. With this episode, we will walk you through a checklist of crucial decisions to start and thrive in this space. We have with us Riyaaz Amlani, best known for his brands like SOCIAL, Smoke House Deli, & Boss Burgers; Zorawar Kalra, famous for his appearances on Masterchef and his brands like Farzi Cafe, Masala Library, & Pa Pa Ya; Pooja Dhingra, renowned for Le15, known for their macaroon; currently a judge in Masterchef India and an author.

Data suggest that young folks under the age of 30 are spending a lot more time on social media and gaming and less time on TV and physical sports. In this episode, we have the CEO of Nazara Technologies,Krafton India and Lila Games, leaders in the Indian gaming space. We also have Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), a protagonist of the Indian gaming Industry,turning gaming into a full time career in india Given that gaming for young kids today is what cricket was for Indians back in the day, we explore how one can prepare to become a part of the gaming industry: By either becoming a gamer, understanding specific skills needed and channels of monetisation or by developing and publishing games, knowing how hiring in the gaming industry works and so on.In both of these cases, what remains common is specific skills and knowledge Given that the industry is still in its nascent stages in India, we compare and contrast the climate of the gaming industry across geographies, break down what physiological aspects and latent human desires which makes certain games tick. It could be chasing emotions, status or making progress along with the opportunities that we are primed to capitalise based on the current landscape of the gaming industry. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #AnimeshAgarwal l - CEO of 8bit Creatives Twitter: https://x.com/8bit_thug/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/8bitthug Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/8bit_thug/ #SeanHyunilSohn - CEO of Krafton India Twitter: https://twitter.com/hisohn?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-hyunil-sohn-1670216 #JosephKim - CEO of Lila Games Twitter : https://twitter.com/jokim1?lang=en/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jokim/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jokim1/ #NitishMittersain - CEO of Nazara Technology Twitter: https://twitter.com/mittersain/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mittersain/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nitishmittersain/
