It's 27 years of knowledge in 2 hours from China to India and global economy and compounding journey. Worth every minute of it. Just amazing. Thanks Shantanu for brining Adi the legend of FMCG.
Barbershop is one of the most real podcasts. Where you focus on asking meaningful questions, instead of clickbaity stuff. Love the host and the people that come in.
This was two hours of my mind going “Boom” every once in a while. I would pause and process that thought and move to the next section. Loved this one! A Saturday Morning Well Spent.
Wow. Before start watching, I was not sure if can really watch 2 hrs long Podcast. That also for me very first on BarberShop. Aditya Sehgal really made my day and sure for many others as well. It was one of very genuine portray of professional life. Very detailed but upto point answers, 27years journey in fantastic 2 hrs. Perfect example for executives and managers, how one can work in job with true entrepreneur mindset. Thanks @ Barbershop and Aditya Sehgal
As a ex-nielsen all of this retail insights are so nostalgic. For more such stories get prasun or prashant ex-nielsen guys to come and share their insights with you😊
Shantanu this is by far the best episode / podcast that you have ever done. So much factual insights on what China is, where we stand wrt China in 2008 and how we should not the demographic dividend go waste. Hats Off. Pls try to get such guests who have exposure to / experience in China or similar countries to get more insights. Plus the insights about strategies deployed by RB to beat HUL were also super cool. Finally, Adi Sehgal fairly humble and down to earth.
Just purchased Bombshaving comp razor for my dad the entire series has started creating an affinity towards this brand - good going w content marketing Shantanu
Hey shantanu, what i love about these conversations is that you let the person drive it and this lets some great thoughts out of that person like what he values, how he functions and we as a listener get a lot to learn from it. Thanks for the series. Keep podcasting 👍🏻
Off all the guests on your podcast, this one impressed me very much... Very strategic, very well experienced, very good view of world.... U need to call more experienced executives of well established companies so that we can look into the business stories
This was so helpful. I am running an ecommerce company and was creating packaging and started optimising website. Since the last month I have been stuck into this only and for the time being descaled the business. One thing that struck me in the conversation is that I should test fast and should not look for perfection, which I started doing. This is something that I have heard many times but then also I got struck into this. Thanks for putting this amazing show.
Hi Shantanu! It's been a great insight as to how things work... Your podcasts are almost as if we are in a premier B Schools hearing to some great case studies of businesses and success stories in India... ❤
Just came across Shantanu's podcasts recently. This episode with Mr. Sehgal is just a fire side chat with your favorite uncle who has chosen to enlighten you with his experience and wisdom. Doesn't dissapoint in the slightest! Great work Shantanu 🙏
Absolutely wonderful. Great host, Shantanu ! the depth of each and every conversation in the podcast is amazing and mindblowing. Lot of learnings from this one.
What an episode. Kudos to Shantanu and whole team to bring guests like Adi Sehgal. This is the best podcast channel. Keep it coming. Barbershop to the moon
Hi Shantanu, I am an avid follower of your interviews and I wish you more power... One request: Could you bring in leader(s) from insurance world and interview them... The topic is so complex and even practitioners sometimes have difficulty to think about solutions to the problems that the insurance industry in India may have...
Every time I am looking for some inspiration I look towards one of your videos, Shantanu. I get to learn so much from the experience of people like Aditya Sehgal. It is a like an amazing masterclass and awe inspiring.
i've been very averse towards podcasts just because of my terrible attention span, but damn. this is the first one that kept me HOOKED till the very end. 2 hours of immense, expansive knowledge broken down and connected so seamlessly, worth every minute. i'm probably converted :)
Fantastic podcast! Shantanu, I have a request please make a podcast with Rohit Chennamaneni from Darwinbox! It would be great to listen a SaaS Unicorn story built out of India!!
27 years of learnings shared in 2 hours! Amazing episode, enjoyed each minute of this and will definitely watch this again in future to refresh the learnings! Thanks Shantanu for this and all other episodes of the Barbershop.
For India to do perfectly or even better than previous similar cases like china and usa. We need to innovate and find solutions for : 1) Food security - (hydrophonic & vertical farming, etc) 2) Energy - (hydrogen, nuclear, etc) And then other supplementary industries like making sustainable cities and converting metro cities into a better designed cities.
Actually barbarshop is great shop where you actually serve lot of knowledge free. As a student I see my bright future for all of these Senior guys. I am very thankful to you for this amezing conversation.
Best ever no-nonsense insightful, enriching interview of Adi. I need to rehear this to cement my learnings Absolutely brilliant- hope Shantanu brings such speakers more often (other interviews have too much gyan - not actionable)
Hi Shantanu - Good podcast but please bring startup founders, while this was insightful, podcasts you have done with Mukesh Bansal, Albi and OfBusiness guy was awe-inspiring to say the least. Corporate folks build very linear careers so they’re less interesting tbh. My recommendations: 1. Another OG - VSS 2. Sachin or Binny Bansal (they keep so low profile) 3. Kamaths 4. Meesho founders 5. Amod Malviya 6. Sameer Nigam
3 entrepreneurial advice given by Aditya Sehgal in conversation with Shantanu Deshpande , on The Barbershop with Shantanu podcast :- 1. Until you start, it's zero. The faster you start, the faster you start your compounding journey. So, start your compounding journey early; don't aim for perfection. 2. When needed pivot as soon as possible BUT always with the goal in mind and be sure what that goal is. 3. While starting, rather than asking can I climb that ladder, ask am I climbing the right ladder, which wall is this ladder leaning against; don’t build it for next 5 years, build it for the next 100 years & the way to do that is not to worry about your exit, not to worry about short term success, you need to create something that is going to be true and enduring value.
When I hear him say great culture and great people, I dream of working in a company where I can say this. My current company sucks. Hanging onto this job just until I grab the next opportunity i.e. pursuing an MBA.
It's 27 years of knowledge in 2 hours from China to India and global economy and compounding journey. Worth every minute of it. Just amazing. Thanks Shantanu for brining Adi the legend of FMCG.
Very true... "Worth every minute". Was not off for a minute
No, not 27 years. He was for 27 years at his first company. His tenure at his own company is another decade or more

Thanks Shantanu & Adi
Please bring more people like this ... More POVs more brains... More knowledge ...also waiting for the Sohail Sameer one 🙏🙏😭
