Whole that conversation i am stuck between modern house together part of that (GHAR KE PURANE WALE SWITCH) jo peeche laga hai.✊🏽✨

[@tikeshwarpatel3824]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed that 'switch'

[@abhijin]

Glad this conversation is documented 🙌

[@debajyotibhowmick9391]

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. I for sure was looking out for some true affordable juniper based gin and there was none , except for those imported and expensive ones or the flavored local ones that are available in West Bengal. And then came "Greater Than", of which I am a fan ever since it was launched. Introduced to my friends and they are into it as well. All the Best.

[@shreyaslahoti7542]

To be honest, I didn’t like the greater than.
While hapusa is a good gin, Jaisalmer is still my favourite.

[@supriyakumarmishra9177]

Was that 800k or 800-1000 bottles.

I like his template 1) pandering godi bhakts and getting views 2) once in a while peppering the template by podcasting with entrepreneurs or influencers. Repeat the cycle !!
