Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journey from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys.
Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.
We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.

Thank you all for showing love towards our podcast with Vishu Sir! Please keep us informed if there are any guests who are actively addressing such issues. We'll make an effort to feature them on the show. :)
Can you please share some contacts of Well diggers in Sarjapur/ Bengaluru?
I hope that the next government would make a stringent national policy towards protecting potable water seriously and Vishnu sir take part in it.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What a fantastic episode!!! Vishwanath Sir nim efforts ge dhanyavaadagalu ❤
Thanks, man. We have more social worker podcasts coming your way. :)
Eastern parts of Bengaluru hosts millionaires who built IT companies but did not do any due diligence before buying their homes and offices if they are in flood zones. East Bengaluru from Marathahalli to Bellandur was swamp region. The migrants even today ask for homes near to their offices. This has resulted in chaos.
We should kick these companies out for ruining our city
😂😂😂😂😂
So who wants to travel in a traffic jam with such narrow roads.
@@janetgreen3553who allowed these people.
This isn't a problem in Noida or Gurugram😂
@@janetgreen3553it's the migrants that made the metropolis u converted piglet
The tragic thing about India is that it's all individual driven. It's not the system. It's an individual in the system that makes the difference. - Vishu Sir :) 🙏🇮🇳
It's an individual in the system that makes the difference :)
We Indians bet a lot on an individual. Should change this attitude
Cohesive thinking is what drives a society. Community thinking is what makes it livable and sustainable. Individualistic thinking will kill everything and also hurt the selfish individual in the long run. Ironically it’s the short term benefits that the narrow minded ppl now prefer.
@rthsriram2685 So by your Logic, Israel being a Religious Statei is a Failed Nation that is miserable. Yet, They seem to have solved all problems especially water problems by having de-salination plants setup and Israeli's capital - Tel Aviv is rated one of the best liveable cities in the world.
If Tel Aviv has desalination plant why not Karnataka state have one. Instead of simply planning on another Dam on kaveri. We don't know when there is rain.
Very diplomatic answer on loosing Bengaluru lakes for greedy BDA and builders.
Earlier generation after generation one person used to stay in one place. Now one generation stays in 3-4 houses in one lifetime.
Materialistic goals :)
What a truly remarkable and insightful guest Mr. Vishwanath is. I didn’t have a clue such wise and knowledgeable people existed in our own city let alone our country
Nervin, it's cool to see young people like you engaging with such content. Wishing you a bright future ahead. :)
And they are mostly called urban naxals until they start working on issues that concern us. 😂
What could have taken months of research and analysis is summed up in this 97mins video, this kind of awareness is a must for a better future. And the guest is no less than a visionary, his understanding of wide variety of subjects, thoughts about common peasants, farmers and reasoning, solutions, inferences are just revolutionary.
Sai, thanks! Our team works seamlessly to deliver enriching content.
One of my favourite guests that we have hosted on the Neon Show 🙌🏾
@siddharthsriram2685 bro why are you focusing on that part. You left all the good discussion. Please appreciate also. You are a very Aggressive social reformer 😂😂😂
@siddharthsriram2685 Then answer me this question - How did Bharat survive for so many centuries if not for our culture, traditions, religion, etc? The constitution came in 1947 or so, was there no development before the invasions in the subcontinent?
My favourite episode of the Neon Show so far, guests like these should be brought more who have such clear thoughts and rich knowledge to provide!
Indeed! Vishu Sir was loud and clear in his message.☺
and they need to be brought in not only when we have water crisis but during other times as well@@TheNeonShoww
Am from Whitefield watching this. Thank you for bringing this person.
This is THE BEST 97 minutes i could ever spend to learn so much about Water as a precious resource for humanity... thank you so much for this podcast.
Thanks, Pooja. More podcasts on social issues are coming your way. Stay tuned! :)
So good to hear to such deep insights about water crisis around India.
Thanks, Shubhangi. We have more social worker podcasts coming your way. Stay tuned! :)
just talk..nothing will happen, you need to hear such things from POLITICIANS
This is an Eye Opening episode.. The things that we shrug off as humans, is unbelievable.
Thanks, man. We have more social worker podcasts coming your way. Stay tuned!
very intriguing episode, didn't even realize the 1 and a half hours go by
Mediocrity is the problem. "chalta hai", "ho jayega", "kar lenge", "aayitu bidi maadona", "aamele nodona" - Indian mindset, absolutely zero pursuit of any kind of perfection, we always keep chasing the bare minimum which itself keeps growing.
Procrastination :(
So much knowledge I gained from this episode, wonderful guest
Loved recording this episode
Excellent elucidation by the guest.
More preparation required by the host.
Proud that we have such intellectuals in our country. Pray that soon we realize and implement these ideas to sustain ourselves and the planet. Thank you Vishwanath Sir.
More podcasts featuring social workers are on the way, Shilpa. Stay connected through Instagram. :)
Govt need to work on restoring hundreds of lakes all around Bangalore. Once called city of lakes is now encroached by malls, Apartments and IT parks....
Yes :)
That is a moral statement, what is the economic plan or incentive structure to set the ball rolling?
Poachers don't do conservation.
@@rutvikrstry running a city on dry taps.
@@TheGuruNetOn buzz words, moralizing and nostalgia are not concrete actions. We are pushed away from understanding the tradeoffs and start assigning blame.
Serious solutions to water crisis:
1. No more 5 rupees borewell RO. If water is not ecologically cheap, it shouldn't be economically cheap. Let water be 75/- per can.
2. We can no longer restore the lakes as critical public infrastructure such as the metro, power grid stations, sewage treatment, ring roads and even govt offices are built on them. Time to create a new topography.
3. Spread philosophy is a serious challenge to water preservation, rw harvesting and creating STP Infrastructure. Ban all private layouts and incentivise living in apartments.
4. Plan for a growing city not efficiency, we wasted most of our time trying to "preserve pockets of BLR".
5. Stop growing non native water guzzling soft wood trees where they are not supposed to. They need to be watered even at maturity.
@@rutvikrs can I DM you? Your thoughts might be valuable to an initiative
i live in kerala untill 2020 we used to get water almost everyday through water authority which was fit to drink directly from pipes even for kids (i got it checked for fun actually ) but in the last few years the water comes at max 3 days a week and the water quality got bad (its still drinkable but not good as before and its not recommended to kids) the only thing that improved is the leakage of water through the pipes laid by the authority which has drastically reduced
One borewell is good for irrigating a plot of 1acer . In 1 acer you can build 24 houses ( with road and other things) . Imagine 24 houses each having an individual borewell . Within a few years all borewells will become dry. 5rs RO drinking plant takes out 20Ltr to give 2-4ltr of fresh water. So , what the govt does to curb these ?
-Build more RO. Paste a gaudy image of neta, 5 passport size Gunda, 22 stamp size chela on the board.
-Water is a human right ninakkan. 5 rupees is already too much for your face.
-akchualy the problem is migration. Outside people ruined my town I moved into 8 years ago. 😭
- Tankers bisnis is entrepreneurship and job generator ok?. My shoulder hurts, call that boy from Jharkhand/Bangladesh. Ok?
-from this Sunday register your tanker bisniss with government. If you don't pay ShibaCoomer-Pedda 10k a week, no water supply ok?
Afterwards they move to hefty water tankers!!!😂
Bangaluru has the right of kaveri water due to population and GDP and consuming 6.6 % water good episode .
This person should be called 'Water man'....Such a wonderful podcast!!! Hope authorities listen to his wisdom and implement it at the earliest!!!
Stay tuned, Pramod; more podcasts featuring social workers are on their way.
Why dont netflix or prime vedio create a web series on this type of issues. Vishwanathan can give number of stories which can be built in entertainment and at the same time as eye opener. Most of the times what we feel > what we see > what we hear.
Recently I watched poachers series in prime. Many people watch web series rather than documentaries
Pitch them your idea who knows they'll make you the head writer of that
It would be exciting if Netflix tackled such topics.
It should be heard by the authorities and get pitched in election bro!!! However awareness in any manner is always welcome!!!
if you are interested to make it make them they will buy from you
They may be interested to do some negative series on India.
Ground water retention is extremely low, concrete jungle, all ponds water bodies are encroached for apartments, rain water harvesting/ drain water is not recirculated into bores etc for perculation to improve ground water ...
Due to unhealthy poltics we drink unhealthy water
This is so far the best ep from us on this topic
This video should be shown in geography class in Bangalore schools..
Thanks, Raghav. We'll make sure to share it with the relevant educators. :)
Super knowledgeable guest and expertise in the subject and postive approach...
A talk on something serious and outside the startup ecosystem. Really kept me on the line❤
Thanks, man. More social worker podcasts are on the way. Stay connected on our Instagram for regular updates :)
banglore is lot better than delhi , in delhi its unlivable pollution every where , too much noise , every one has car , and they are not car pooling insted each member of family drive its own
Please stop comparing, every city is shaped by circumstances.
all cities are huge shoitholes, where urban governance gets the LEAST priority..Mumbai corporation is riches, but look at the potholes and waterlogging that happens there
Stop calling the city Bangalore ... It is Bengaluru
Phenomenal Guest! Top notch interview. Thank you for this podcast.
Thanks, we have more podcasts on this topic in the pipeline. Stay tuned!
Best!! 🇮🇳🙏
🤟
What a podcast, Vishwanat S sir is so calm while answering questions, very inspiring and insightful.
loved the episode
Green revolution introduced Fertilisers, Pesticides, Hybrid seeds in 1970s and Farmers around Bangalore and specially Kaveri were the first users of all these.. I have personally visited the villages near Shri Rangapatna, Malavalli, other places where Kaveri flows.. Farmers say that even Grass won’t grow near the banks of the river unless we put Urea or some kind of fertilizer.. If it becomes irreversible, Chemical companies will rule the world in coming years.. Please share your thoughts on this
Hearty Congrats!!
This is one of the best "purposive" conversations I ever heard on TH-cam.
You richly deserve to diversify big way!
Thanks, Samanta. Stay tuned for more podcasts on similar topics soon. :)
Bangalore's water crisis was predicted(probability projected) long long back. Its clearly mismanagement from governance's part that its not resolved.
Due to elnino , which doesnt happen only in elnino years , and it effects Bangalore bcoz ,cauvery catchment area depend on monsoon and .
SW monsoon as well as se were effected due toel nino
We need to restrict growing population
Content quality getting better this podcast will go long
Feedback like yours keeps us going strong. Shukriya for your support!
Brilliant Episode! This is how you raise awareness! Bringing the right people to talk about it so well
Thanks, we have more podcasts on this topic in the pipeline. Stay tuned!
Thank you Vishwanath sir for educating us about Bengaluru. I have stayed with Garre vaddas, would like to associate with you and work with Bhavi vadda community.
Wonderful! Send a direct message to his team on Instagram. :)
One of the most enlightening talks i have heard in a long time, with actual facts and a pragmatic approach to search for solutions
Thank you, Arpita. Please keep us informed if there are any guests who are actively addressing such issues. We'll make an effort to feature them on the show. :)
43:13 this is a nice take on individual responsibility.
Bottoms up solutions that don't burn a hole in your pocket are the best and most effective ones, structurally speaking
I am so exited to hear, not get bored, every minute get lot of unknown facts, many many thanks to you, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻sir,
Thanks for this podcast, it's good briefing on overall situation, probably need one more podcast to dive in deeper to Vishawanath's expertise
Kudos to the whole team for this wonderful episode... Special mention to editors and graphic designers. Great work
Thanks from the team. :)
Excellent podcast.... Wish professors taught us like this in universities
Loved watching it!
What a fantastic show... Learnt so much from this discussion....I hope the Government officials, administrators & citizens like us are able to leverage the knowledge of such individuals & learn and rectify from the mistakes being made....Thank you 🙏
Came here with little interest about the topic, but now hooked till the end of the episode. Kudos to both the host and the guest. This was such an insightful conversation.
Thanks, man. We have more social worker podcasts coming your way. Stay connected on our Instagram for regular updates :)
It's always a great pleasure to hear Vishwanath Sir. !!! So many insights.

An eye opener

I am from Bangalore there is a huge crises in this summer ... I am aftraid things way becomes worse in the coming days 😢😢
Subscribed to your channel after listening to Vishwanath sir…
We value your support. Thanks for joining us :)
Given the escalating water scarcity issues in Bangalore, investors are advised to reevaluate their current and future investments in the city. Shifting focus to Hyderabad could be a strategic move, as this city does not currently face such severe water challenges. This relocation might offer more sustainable operational conditions, potentially leading to better long-term business stability and growth. Furthermore, Hyderabad's growing infrastructure and business-friendly environment make it an attractive alternative for investors seeking a more reliable and resource-abundant base for their operations.
this is one of the all time best podcast across the domains and across the world! A must watch for aspiring Product managers
Share it within your network, Shubh, and raise awareness. :)
Very Insightful.
Its always lovely to listen to you Vishu Sir. A very informative interview!
Thanks, Ramyam. We have more social worker podcasts coming your way. Stay tuned! :)
wonderful , This is what the wisdom can bring in to a show . Thanks a lot Vishwanath Srikantaiah sir to enlighten us 🙏
Must watch for every Indian specially govt of bnglr
Very high value conversation! Thanks for this.
Shukriya! :)
Amazing facts and the best video on water crisis. Please make shorts and push this video as much as possible people need to see it and especially politicians should see this first.
Great interview and I can consider myself lucky that my knowledge base has gone up. Thank you .
What a great conversation of this podcast and I'm amazed by the in depth knowledge of Vishwanath Sir. Perhaps more and more of these types of conversation will enlighten more audiences about the water conversation steps. Glad to hear such conversations
Stay tuned, Shetty sabh; more podcasts featuring social workers are on their way. :)
Great conversation on diverse topics and visionary leader
We are Working on the River restoration projects for several nala and streams in Maharashtra urban areas.
The Major difficulty with river management is unauthorised domestic and industrial waste discharging into river
As a Kannadiga, i can say samething with Bangalore 😢

This guys vision is eye opening. Please please have him in very important role in the Government.
Beshak :)
So much to learn from this episode 🙌🏾
Thanks, man. :)
Fantastic conversation. Very useful to bring such guests.
Yes, we believe it's our responsibility as Indians to focus on such topics.
Thank you for this conversation! This is such a deep conversation and has so many directions and dimensions it opens up, from policy making, to polity's culture to migration. Wow! More power to you...perhaps this conversation itself can open up getting into solutioning zones in so many dorections. What may help is actually touching upon some solutions in the upcoming podcasts.
Absolutely, Abhijit. More podcasts featuring social workers are on the way. Stay tuned! :)
Thank you very much to the Neon Show, for this very informative podcast and thank you very much S Vishwanath Ji, for your selfless service to humanity 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It was awesome watching him talk. He has such a balanced mindset and is someone who walks the talk.
And someone who assures you that it might not be all doom and gloom if we start putting in the efforts now.
Thanks, Rohit! More podcasts like this on the horizon. Stay tuned!
Seriously sensible. Thanks
Rapid urbanisation,encroachment of lakes in Bangalore has been led to water crisis .only solution is stop construction of apartments, restaurants
Great insight Sir. Sadly many people don't realize or concerned about this problems.
Please bring these type of guests for discussion which is very informative
Shukriyah, Juliet! More podcasts like this on the horizon. Stay tuned! :)
People spoiled the lakes cleaned by governments😢 Imagine if we preserve our lake water and if they are drinkable. It is like that in developed world
This video to be shown to all ministers of both tamilnadu and Karnataka and should learn the mistake they made by predicisors.
Great way of Explanation, Calm & Composted in clear thought process !!!! fantastic episode!!!
Thank you, stay tuned as more podcasts on such topics will be coming in the future. :)
absolutely fascinating podcast.. thanks for bringing such an intellectual speaker who understands the issue at it's core & explains it with logical reasoning precisely..
kudos to Vishwa sir, we need such minds at the heart of policy making..
also the onus is on us the "people" to look beyond at the larger picture
More podcasts featuring social workers are on the way. Stay connected through Instagram.
Fantastic episode!! Such a knowledgeable man!! Vishwanath sir 🫡🫡
need more professors on show. Enjoyed every bit of this man!
Excellent Podcast Viswanath avare, simple kannadiga presenting in simple English to one all.I think this should be heard by those who sit in Vidhana Soudha issue complex solutions brought out clearly,Do we see a day when in forties and fifties we use to drink water directly in Bangalore from school Tap or Tap at home , far cry now ,another point is we should be prepared to pay full cost of water per litre we consume to Water Board..Well done both of u
Beautiful and informative video 🤩
This conversation has Immense value in terms of exposing systemic issues and the lack of urgency in policy making.
Thanks for the episode!
Ganapathy, it's awesome to see your interest in important topics! More social issue podcasts are coming soon. Stay tuned on our Instagram. Keep it up!
FANTASTIC AWARENESS INITIATIVE... thanks A Ton 🙏 Mr. Vishwanath & The Neon Show 🌸🌈
Stay tuned for more social worker podcasts coming your way! Follow us on Instagram for updates.
If all our tax is taken up by centre and used by bimaru states.
Bangalore 3rd largest city dont have suburban train.metro train system not completed.dedicated frinking water project not completed.
Our tax our fair share ourrights
Such a great knowledge and wisdom. All we need is to implement it with people's support and government's policy changes.
Thanks, Bharath. More podcasts on social issues are coming your way. Stay tuned! :)
Very eye-opening episode, Would have been nice if you could also throw more light on how exactly citizens can get involved, whether it is by taking charge of ground water in the apartment complex or pressing the Govt and real estate builders to do more.
Very wise and knowledgeable guest...
Bangalore is sitting on an errupting volcano. There is no restriction on digging the borewells. The traditional lake system is destroyed. Unplanned and unsustainable growth of the city.
I hope serious course correction is made. With harvesting rain water to the maximum. Eliminate consumption of single use plastic in FMCG.
Reintroduce Milk booths like ATMs. Removed plastic packeging for edible oils, food products, improve good quality.
I am optimistic and hopeful of a positive change.
Optimism is contagious, Bhargav. :)
Digging borewell on your own is not legal, you need to get permission but strict enforcement of the law shud be brought everyones view...
Nice one... How about developing other cities and decentralizing the companies moving to other places... Why everyone have to come to bangalore for a job... Which is the main source of the prob?
Such a wonderful and insightful conversation. We need more such people to be there at the helm of our cities infrastructure and resources
Dhanyawad, Dhiman! More podcasts like this on the horizon. Stay tuned!
Other cities will face same crisis. Residential areas are blocking water percolation into ground. People need to be made aware.
Superb information
Amazing interview...kudos to both the participants....hats off....
Dhanyawad, Anil. More podcasts featuring social workers are on the way. Stay tuned! :)
Vishwanath Sir was fantastic, very interesting points put forth and we all citizens should strive to make our country liveable for future generations.
Shukriyah! More podcasts like this on the horizon. Stay tuned! :)
In Chennai, there are two desalination plants plus one more in pipeline plus Krishna water supply plus many rain water harvesting at homes done as a drive by TN govt recently have kept water issues at bay. Bangalore has no desalination solution available but rainwater harvesting should be made compulsory in all homes.
Very insightful podcast. Thanks for this
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the podcast insightful. :)
