Thanks Raj, Earlier I had negative mentality for sales and salesman this podcast taught me the importance of sales. Now I am going to read more about sales, leadership and I really appreciate that nowadays you are inviting senior guests their podcasts are really insightful. My favorite quote ''Anything that works is a style''.
Good, getting such a senior successful personality to speak candidly is not easy and respect to Ajai Sir for sharing his rich experience and building such a massive company

Excellent Podcast, Kindly have more and more Similar Podcasts.
P.S: I can relate a lot on Right to Repair Law, i have VU TV, called them for service, they visited and said we need to replace PCB i asked why can't you repair he said it cannot be repaired and only Part replacement is possible with a charge of 18K, i got it repaired from Local Technician/Service engineer for 6K. Hopefully it changes Soon!

Hey Raj
U r too junior to me...
I am basically a professor in English in a university...
I started watching your videos recently as I used to avoid your videos seeing your face,thinking too young... what would I learn from you..
One fine day I watched your video casually and found it very informative...
I have gone through your book too...
Too practically u have written the things...
God bless you...Good luck for your future endeavours...
