I would like to see a session on WTF Stock Market. So many young people have wrong expectations of stock market returns. Nikhil and Nitin being masters in this game, they should guide with do'es, don'ts and tools. As usual, I love Nikhil's questions, calmness and curiosity
2.5 hours == 2 years of business education + 1.01 crores committed to helpful cause - And all this comes for financially no cost to the viewers, just there dedication and curiosity. Love it!
One of the most important lesson that i learnt from this Podcast is that Successful People are damn good listeners 💯 When one person is speaking then there's a pin drop silence in the whole room Just wow 💯

As someone from Pakistan. Loved this. We’re still too far to catch up with the tech revolution in India and startup scene. But this is such an insight to learn from people who’ve done that in relatively near to similar conditions if not exactly similar conditions. Loved that. To everyone striving to succeed from both parts of the country, my prayers are with you. And Nikhil, keep going man.
I really liked Nikhil's style of interviewing. Why? I think for the first time I saw VC being so open when having conversation, hats off to all the three VCs to open up and share their insights...to end my comment in a fun note, the two VCs finally folded their hands...bus bhai nikhil we surrender...😅
Honestly I'm in awe of Nikhil. If i would take up a course of a lakh it would be Nikhils. There's a charm he has and that's impeccable. His voice is promising and I would love if he takes sessions and the world will know what actually money making and finance. Those content creators who teach FINANCE without knowing anything must learn.
I guess he is well spoken and raises same questions that arises in our mind and accept the answers only he is completely satisfied. That's why we relate to him and find amusing
2.5 hours of pure gold. This podcast is BEAUTIFUL. The panel with such diverse experience is mesmerizing to listen to. Its better than my 2 years of MBA at a tier 2 college.
I have no words to describe how powerful the podcast is. Thanks to Nikhil for delivering such premium content. It's very hard to believe that something like this is available on TH-cam for free. This is a real gem. Pls keep up the good work, and all the best.
OMG, I watch lot of podcasts, but this is the one i hooked to... content, knowledge, philosophy, nuances, intricacies, insights and so on... too much into it... the best high quality podcast in India... this video will become true treasure of knowledge... no drama,no exaggeration,no playing to galary, no intention of getting more and more subscribers
This podcast is better than any 2 year MBA. Learn from the experts and delve in their experience that is global in nature but have localized that to be successful in Indian companies. Great pod as always Nikhil! keep going WTF!!

Nithin: Zerodha started in 2010, all our success came in 2016 - So today of course we can have all the 5 days a week but it took them 6 years of excruciating work Nikhil goes on to add: I lived in my office for 6 years, like literally lived there, my bedroom was my cabin Thanks folks and Nikhil / Nikhil's team, please keep these coming.
I just need to comment: Thank you Nikhil for this podcast. No matter what you do, please don't stop making more episodes. I hope you enjoy these and will continue to enjoy making these
Karthik reddy has a great journey to share,,his articulation & clarity is amazing, hopefully we can hv a solo podcast with him by nikhil or by any other podcast host
This is the only podcast channel I watch without speeding it up to 1.5x. 👍 It's a plethora of knowledge all in one place. 🧠💡 Thanks Nikhil for sharing!
You should consider adding a UPI link for the audience to contribute to the Foundation as well. Small amounts directly to the foundation. We need more contributors, whether through financial means or by offering their services, such as teaching.
KARTHIK REDDY IS AMAZING!!! his knowledge,insight , such well articulated perspective is a knowledge platter for anyone seeking. HIGHLY REQUEST TO GET A SOLO SESSION WITH KARTHIK SOMETIME...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm just blown by the fact of nikhil's knowledge at the age he is and not just about market about any other sector and his thriving nature to learn something new just shows how adaptive he is and surely the future fortune of country
I am a 24 year old, and this video is the most perfect, unscripted, useful, engaging and educational video I have EVER seen !!!! Nikhil sharing his feelings in such a perfect yet diplomatic way is the thing I desire the most :) ~Big Fan of @NikhilKamath
This is pure gold. I really like this new trend where phenomenal entrepreneurs are using their personal network to democratize such great insights which historically only a handful of folks have had access to. First, it was Shantanu from BSC, and now Nikhil.
I was and am still clueless about the VC.. but the last 30 secs of this podcast was truly amazing..we got introduced to the 'inner child' of these dignified speakers and of course that genuine smile on their faces made my day already!! Guess only when you have a pure intent+ sheer passion+ commitment to your identity + direction from the universe + hunger for knowledge & exploring human side of the business you can produce a TRULY perdurable content like this. Kudos to this fantastic team. Lots of love & respect. God bless.
I am an average IT employee and a kid when it comes to knowledge on entrepreneurship and investments. But I am trying to learn through these podcasts. Some topics goes above my head but some do stay.
This right here is gold. The amount of knowledge I got from just watching 2 and a half hours of this podcast is insane. Please keep doing such episodes Nikhil.
Usually, stock market traders are not calm when they talk or do things (even other than trading). Trading makes them restless. It's surprising to see Nikhil, being so calm and composed in his conversations
I love watching both the brother's sitting together nd talking, laughing nd working together in a business in a majority of the times its somehow nowhere happens in today's days.... I'll pray to God that both of u live together nd show the brotherhood to the world❤❤
18:39 I like to add a quote here -“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” - Michael Hopf , it's a cycle and history always teaches this one lesson repeatedly !!
Really loved your ability to ask questions to bring out the clarity. Already the guests are extremely eloquent, but still extracting clarity from their responses by the virtue of simple questions is a great superpower to have .
It's like a masterclass to listen to these high quality minds every week and with the curiosity which Nikhil brings to the table is truly phenomenal. Kudos to Mr.Kamath! 🎉
Liking it without seeing, I know it'll be a great podcast! Been a big fan of Nithin Kamath, but Nikhil Kamath is arguably the best Podcaster I've watched! Cheers 🎉🎉🎉
I began watching Nikhils' channel and gradually fell in love with it. What a wonderful thing to discover.!! Nikhil's intelligence and sense of humor are exceptional. Rajan A., Prashanth P. & Karthik R. with expertise have excellent vision.
I can't believe I have seen all the podcasts of Nikhil Kamath and looking forward for many more. Must admit Nikhil with your simplicity and honesty you are setting the new standards for podcasters around the world. No wonder you will have Elon, Jeff, Sundar and Satya soon at your podcast. Also how about having world leader's of G20 summit😊
I have started watching some of these "WTF pods/talks" recently. I love the much-needed intellectual honesty in these talks. Love the way Nikhil facilitates these discussions.
You guys are not only successful and rich, you all are super intelligent, knowledgeable, highly risk taking and on top of all extremely generous (with your contributions to charity). Probably the greatest discussion in the world, I don't know if anything like this is there on youtube from any country in the world. Hats off.!
I love these brothers .. they are very open and they make others to understand business as well.. Being Billionaires they run youtube channel and help to learn others , so humble guys! .. I am kite user too :)
I just had to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible podcasts you've been hosting. such a diverse range of guests and facilitate engaging conversations is truly remarkable It's not just entertainment it's a source of education and inspiration. The group discussions you curate are exciting, and I find myself eagerly anticipating each new episode. Keep up the fantastic work, and please know that your efforts are deeply appreciated.
Amazing vid as always Nikhil! One small suggestion I have is while choosing the charities, don't make the guest say out the amount to be donated. Just combine the total amount (for eg 25+10+25) and in the community post say that we are jointly going to donate 60L to XYZ charity. Everyone has a different background and may also be already be engaged in other philanthropic endeavors.
Kamath Bros are the closest one can get to the Tatas when it comes to honest polite capitalist. Nobody else comes close, nobody. The icons we need the icons we have.
Such great Insights and so much value add. Unfortunately hardly any views or comments to people who create business, employment and livelihood for hundreds if not thousands of people. Honestly you entrepreneurs have to be celebrated in this country and not those celebrities, who entertain for 3 hours and then its forgotten. Salute
As an early 20's youth, I just love listening to such amazing people , accomplished so much and just the amount of attention to detail, I'm from Pakistan, do write on Indian startups and would some day enter the entrepreneurship world hopefully!!
I have been listen to these WFT of yours for hours now. Watched 2 today (Saturday, so its an off for me) and that means around 5 hours of listening. These 5 hours have really opened my brain up and changed the outlook for me on Global economy and business side of the human existence. In other words, how money works on a larger scale. This is a great way to learn many things for a budding entrepreneur in his initial years. I wish it was there when I was in college completing my BBA. I am currently working in a U.K based Asset Management Company.
I don’t normally comment but this is bloody gold mine. Thanks Nikhil Sir. Ironically I think I should have had a troubled childhood to atleast think at the levels at you guys have ! Thanks again Nikhil sir for this series!
If u ur building your company and wants to understand investment eco system this is atleast 100 $ subscription knowledge available for free ,I am listening this second time now so that I don't miss anything ,Thanks Kamath brothers, this is absolutely fantastic education in easy conversation.
Karthik is the most brilliant man in Indian Vc space. I personally met him and his knowledge and composure is incredible. Kudos to NIKHIL to bring him here and giving him a rightful place on a vc podcast! U cannot have Indian vc without men like karthik who didn’t even have any legacy names
nikhil i dont know how to much grateful everyone is to listen to insights of all the guests and yourself. It gives direction to many. There are literally several parts where you express your thoughts on human virtues, you really express them well. It is really nice to listen to you. Thanks once again.
I am truly amazed by the profound impact of this podcast. My gratitude to Nikhil for consistently delivering top-notch content. It's almost surreal that such high-quality material is accessible on TH-cam without any cost. This podcast is undoubtedly a hidden gem. Please continue the excellent work. I'm currently settled in San Francisco and moving back to India in about a weeks time, what a mental boost this has been!
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
Many people minimise the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm solvent. I looked for licenced advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Big shoutout for launching this amazing podcast! I've heard a lot about VC before, but this episode truly simplified everything. It actually explained how, who, and why VCs decide to fund certain startups. Nikhil Kamath, you are amazing moderator! One burning question though: you dropped out of school, yet you have knowledge on EVERYTHING! How do you manage to stay so informed across so many topics? Any wisdom to share on your personal knowledge-building routine? You are inspiration to many for every age age group, Your answer on the question can help everyone to excel in their life.
Nikhil, Thanks for bringing such amazing individuals from the industry. I have just one request though, sometimes its better to let the other panelists complete their arguments instead of interrupting them with doubts/questions. We're missing on great points because of that.
Came through WTF brand and now watched this . I am from Nepal but this channel is best for Indian subcontinent if you want to know business whether you aspire to be a founder or highly successful business service personal . Thank you and btw Nikhil’s concept of equality is what I have been carrying with me from my childhood. Totally agree
human nature, yes. but there are systems that force inequality (hierarchical systems which are too reductionistic), and those which force equality (like agile start-up environments).
@@Nishandh_Mayiladan you can say that for any system, capitalist system, communist system, democratic system, caste system etc.... Why system is like this because human nature was always like that due to pure biological/ survival needs.
Great Work @Nikhil Kamath, I am just one of the comments on the million people here, However the kind of information and education these guys are distributing is Gold. I used to work for a PE fund, and if I would have been aware of all these at early of my career. i would have been at such better place. Thanks again for this Video.
There's hardly any financial podcasts/ videos I find that are informative because half of those people sound to have mugged up a book and have no real insight into the market. It's seldom I find people that are worth listening to. Throughout the session I was just awestruck at the amount of knowledge just casually thrown around. Just thank you!
I really appreciated the part where he spoke aboout trauma in life and about how you can either be grateful or hateful. I too recently went through my own trauma in life and i think i have become a bit of both. Yes, i am hateful in the sense that nothing really matters to me and I can at times be incorrigible to people close to me. But, I am also grateful and trying to break out of my shell in my own way Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Truly helpful to know you're not alone.
Loved the podcast, gold-mine. One of the worthy podcast episode from India. Please maintain the quality of content, if not raise it even further. Amazing job.
I have never watched a 3 hour video(except movie/series) in one go till now.......Extremely helpful, to the point and full of knowledge .....although i felt some of the points i have missed may be because being from non financial background its hard to collect all the points, but to some extent they have explained few topics in textual format which is good and easy to understand. Thanks Nikhil for educating INDIA for free !! Respect ++
What I have realised is Nikhil has its own narrative around the topic before discussion and tries and forces conversation around that narrative. One shouldn't focus on a outcome of discussion and should explore others beliefs instead.
As Nithin mentioned - most of the discussions happened here are not available on internet, I have watched multiple VC interviews nobody is dared to ask such direct or core queries. Super amazing podcast and really useful for all startups in the nation. Hatsoff to you Nithin and offcourse I really liked your authentic nature.
1:14:35 Such has already started in the Indian Bamboo Industry. So, with respect to Bamboo Industry, it has not just been about imposing higher duty on certain bamboo product categories, but also incentivizing potential & existing industries in those exact categories through schemes (subsidy, low loan rates, ease of business, certain areas of e-governance etc.) to upgrade the production capacity & quality as per current domestic & global needs. . . . Post spending 15000+ hours in Entrepreneurship & learning how can the Unorganized & Under-commercialized Indian Bamboo Industry could be transformed in favor of India, I MUST SAY, IT'S A WONDERFULLY POWERFUL SESSION ❤ Kudos! 🎉
To the point Nikhil mentioned about capitalism, I feel every nation should have their own perspective on capitalism, if they don't then it's sad. I believe Bharat has a unique perspective on it. Remember, Chanakya, he was a master strategist and a king maker, wrote ArthaShastra - Knowledge and wisdom on making and managing Money. Btw, we divided money in to 8 parts and also created a devotional hymns and named it Ashtalakshmi. I think Nikhil should next interview Radhakrishnan Pillai and others experts who have digested Chanakya's work across Education, Politics, Philosophy, Environment, Nation building and Business
It's so inspiring to see Nikhil give back to the society in this way. I run a small business in Dubai that creates very little impact on making people's lives better ;) Always think to myself about ways in which I can meaningfully contribute to the society but get distracted. This podcast is bringing me back on track :)
for me this podcast is - Upar se gaya :) but the best part is I've noted many points which I need to learn and get knowledge on various things ...Thanks Nitin for such podcast for which we need to learn and come back again to know more :)
I am a little late to discover Nikhil's podcast but I absolutely find the sessions too insightful. I am learning a lot from Nikhil, especially the way he speaks, the soft and slow tones and the audacity fused with the patience towards his guests. Asking follow-up questions from the finest VCs of India, keeping the three actively engaged in meaningful conversation is brilliant! Not to forget that Zerodha never raised a single penny from any institutional investors as they are completely bootstrapped so Nikhil for sure do not have experienced that journey from a founder's perspective still his questions, follow-on points are just incredible!!
The most high quality podcast out there on Entrepreneurship in Indian context. I feel smarter after listening to this podcast. Kudos to the panel for being so much genuine and patient. Also learning so much from Nikhil's way of expressing and asking soo good questions.
It's been a while since something on TH-cam has me hooked for 2 hrs (actually even 10 min+). I think the topics, pacing, relevance, de-cluttering, focus on the real issues, everything was spot on!! Great job!!
I love the way Nikhil talks and especially when he interrupts and dumbs down the question with options and then asks again. I wish I could meet him and learn from him
Hey Nikhil, I really love what you do. Thank you! I'd recommend not revealing how much each person is willing to commit to charity, but only reveal the total to audience. While this strategy might receive lesser money, panellists are more likely to leave with a sweeter aftertaste.
This is fantastic; Nikhil's questions represent an average individual trying to understand the basics of the systems built around us for decades and the future. A great learning experience in total.
Something which I have to watch twice or thrice to understand the concept on a whole. An absolute gem of knowledge heads out there. Thanks to Nikhil and Nithin for this.
Your brother is like your twin brother .......... speaking in synchronisation ....... he makes conversation richer ...... kudos to Kamath brothers .........
Hi Nikhil ! From a youngish 1st generational entrepreneur in Goa I thank you so much for all your podcasts, they are extremely informative and I wait for each one to be released! You ask the right questions and truth be told even if a podcast was 6hrs long it would feel like a 5 min watch ! If and ever you are in Goa next I would love to meet you and hope we could discuss the next big thing.
Imagine a podcast with Shashi Tharoor, Nitin Gadkari, Subramanyam swami, and raghav chadha. It would be interesting to see Indian politicians talk to each other with some sense for once
To hear it from such respectable personalities in their calm, collected and clean language is absolutely wonderful. Short content wins over? Not Really, valuable 2.5hrs like this! Please do more of these.
I would like to see a session on WTF Stock Market.
So many young people have wrong expectations of stock market returns.
Nikhil and Nitin being masters in this game, they should guide with do'es, don'ts and tools.
As usual, I love Nikhil's questions, calmness and curiosity
and also WTF Trading.
Couldn't agree more on both these topics
Yes
true that!

Just combine the total amount (for eg 25+10+25) and in the community post say that we are jointly going to donate 60L to XYZ charity. Everyone has a different background and may also be already be engaged in other philanthropic endeavors.
yeah agree, It may not be appropriate to put them in lime light and ask to spell out the amount :D
Agreed. Please dont make them commit the amount.
Kamath Bros are the closest one can get to the Tatas when it comes to honest polite capitalist. Nobody else comes close, nobody. The icons we need the icons we have.
Credit goes to their PR
Maybe true. But you will be shocked to know Tata's built their wealth in the opium trade to China. Google it
@@natejacobs8716very well said, that's correct, the PR team
@@sarthakbiswas2201 if its really the PR team, what stops people richer than Kamath brothers to poach their PR teams and use them (Ex: Adani).
Kamaths compared to Tatas ..pls don't demean Tatas
Such great Insights and so much value add. Unfortunately hardly any views or comments to people who create business, employment and livelihood for hundreds if not thousands of people. Honestly you entrepreneurs have to be celebrated in this country and not those celebrities, who entertain for 3 hours and then its forgotten. Salute
As an early 20's youth, I just love listening to such amazing people , accomplished so much and just the amount of attention to detail, I'm from Pakistan, do write on Indian startups and
would some day enter the entrepreneurship world hopefully!!
When its Saturday, you feeling lazy to get out of the bed and you get up after seeing this notification...... Lol
The reason these guys are leaders is because they got out of their beds.😅
So true 😂🎉
you can watch this while lying down too
can relate to.that 😂
ARE MY PLEDGE HOLDINGS SAFE IF THIS GUY DATES RHEA CHAKRABORTY? PLEASE REPLY😢😢
Nikhil makes more sense than everyone else. His insights on capitalism and income inequality are absolutely fascinating
❤Nikhil please keep leveraging your connections to make these mini MBA podcasts keep it coming ❤
I have been listen to these WFT of yours for hours now. Watched 2 today (Saturday, so its an off for me) and that means around 5 hours of listening. These 5 hours have really opened my brain up and changed the outlook for me on Global economy and business side of the human existence. In other words, how money works on a larger scale.
This is a great way to learn many things for a budding entrepreneur in his initial years. I wish it was there when I was in college completing my BBA. I am currently working in a U.K based Asset Management Company.
Nikhil is so humble, he definitely knows what PE is, but still asks what is PE. Truly humble
ARE MY PLEDGE HOLDINGS SAFE IF THIS GUY DATES RHEA CHAKRABORTY? PLEASE REPLY😢😢
Asking for the audience bruh
Thanked him for doing it 😂😅
I don’t normally comment but this is bloody gold mine. Thanks Nikhil Sir. Ironically I think I should have had a troubled childhood to atleast think at the levels at you guys have !
Thanks again Nikhil sir for this series!
Nikhil leveling up the game...halfway in to this sesh..its super interesting and highly knowledge gaining!!
If u ur building your company and wants to understand investment eco system this is atleast 100 $ subscription knowledge available for free ,I am listening this second time now so that I don't miss anything ,Thanks Kamath brothers, this is absolutely fantastic education in easy conversation.
Very useful. I have started developing so much respect for Nikhil's way of conducting this.
Actually, this is the best form of charity. Successful people sharing their perspectives and knowledge are much more valuable than donating money.
but how to know if they are not misleading us?
Karthik is the most brilliant man in Indian Vc space. I personally met him and his knowledge and composure is incredible. Kudos to NIKHIL to bring him here and giving him a rightful place on a vc podcast! U cannot have Indian vc without men like karthik who didn’t even have any legacy names
nikhil i dont know how to much grateful everyone is to listen to insights of all the guests and yourself. It gives direction to many. There are literally several parts where you express your thoughts on human virtues, you really express them well. It is really nice to listen to you. Thanks once again.
The synergy between Karthik, Rajan and Prashant is absolutely a treat to watch !!
I am truly amazed by the profound impact of this podcast. My gratitude to Nikhil for consistently delivering top-notch content. It's almost surreal that such high-quality material is accessible on TH-cam without any cost. This podcast is undoubtedly a hidden gem. Please continue the excellent work. I'm currently settled in San Francisco and moving back to India in about a weeks time, what a mental boost this has been!
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
Many people minimise the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm solvent. I looked for licenced advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Big shoutout for launching this amazing podcast!
I've heard a lot about VC before, but this episode truly simplified everything. It actually explained how, who, and why VCs decide to fund certain startups.
Nikhil Kamath, you are amazing moderator!
One burning question though: you dropped out of school, yet you have knowledge on EVERYTHING! How do you manage to stay so informed across so many topics? Any wisdom to share on your personal knowledge-building routine?
You are inspiration to many for every age age group, Your answer on the question can help everyone to excel in their life.
Nikhil, Thanks for bringing such amazing individuals from the industry. I have just one request though, sometimes its better to let the other panelists complete their arguments instead of interrupting them with doubts/questions. We're missing on great points because of that.
Came through WTF brand and now watched this . I am from Nepal but this channel is best for Indian subcontinent if you want to know business whether you aspire to be a founder or highly successful business service personal . Thank you and btw Nikhil’s concept of equality is what I have been carrying with me from my childhood. Totally agree
Yup inequality is not because of the system but because of human nature, and has always been like this.
💯💯
human nature, yes. but there are systems that force inequality (hierarchical systems which are too reductionistic), and those which force equality (like agile start-up environments).
@@Nishandh_Mayiladan you can say that for any system, capitalist system, communist system, democratic system, caste system etc....
Why system is like this because human nature was always like that due to pure biological/ survival needs.
Great Work @Nikhil Kamath, I am just one of the comments on the million people here, However the kind of information and education these guys are distributing is Gold. I used to work for a PE fund, and if I would have been aware of all these at early of my career. i would have been at such better place. Thanks again for this Video.
This is the most OG episode on VC ever from an Indian podcast community!
There's hardly any financial podcasts/ videos I find that are informative because half of those people sound to have mugged up a book and have no real insight into the market. It's seldom I find people that are worth listening to. Throughout the session I was just awestruck at the amount of knowledge just casually thrown around. Just thank you!
One of the very few podcasts I have seen from start to finish without getting bored. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciated the part where he spoke aboout trauma in life and about how you can either be grateful or hateful. I too recently went through my own trauma in life and i think i have become a bit of both. Yes, i am hateful in the sense that nothing really matters to me and I can at times be incorrigible to people close to me. But, I am also grateful and trying to break out of my shell in my own way Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Truly helpful to know you're not alone.
Loved the podcast, gold-mine. One of the worthy podcast episode from India. Please maintain the quality of content, if not raise it even further. Amazing job.
I have never watched a 3 hour video(except movie/series) in one go till now.......Extremely helpful, to the point and full of knowledge .....although i felt some of the points i have missed may be because being from non financial background its hard to collect all the points, but to some extent they have explained few topics in textual format which is good and easy to understand. Thanks Nikhil for educating INDIA for free !! Respect ++
What I have realised is Nikhil has its own narrative around the topic before discussion and tries and forces conversation around that narrative. One shouldn't focus on a outcome of discussion and should explore others beliefs instead.
For example he was so fixed about broken childhood makes people do phenomenal work
I agree
He does get caught in his web
I think these are just set of questions who common people like us would have asked.
As Nithin mentioned - most of the discussions happened here are not available on internet, I have watched multiple VC interviews nobody is dared to ask such direct or core queries. Super amazing podcast and really useful for all startups in the nation. Hatsoff to you Nithin and offcourse I really liked your authentic nature.
1:10:17 - great to know Nikhil also likes saving 5%
I laughed so hard at that😂
1:14:35 Such has already started in the Indian Bamboo Industry. So, with respect to Bamboo Industry, it has not just been about imposing higher duty on certain bamboo product categories, but also incentivizing potential & existing industries in those exact categories through schemes (subsidy, low loan rates, ease of business, certain areas of e-governance etc.) to upgrade the production capacity & quality as per current domestic & global needs.
.
.
.
Post spending 15000+ hours in Entrepreneurship & learning how can the Unorganized & Under-commercialized Indian Bamboo Industry could be transformed in favor of India, I MUST SAY, IT'S A WONDERFULLY POWERFUL SESSION ❤
Kudos! 🎉
To the point Nikhil mentioned about capitalism, I feel every nation should have their own perspective on capitalism, if they don't then it's sad. I believe Bharat has a unique perspective on it. Remember, Chanakya, he was a master strategist and a king maker, wrote ArthaShastra - Knowledge and wisdom on making and managing Money. Btw, we divided money in to 8 parts and also created a devotional hymns and named it Ashtalakshmi.
I think Nikhil should next interview Radhakrishnan Pillai and others experts who have digested Chanakya's work across Education, Politics, Philosophy, Environment, Nation building and Business
It's so inspiring to see Nikhil give back to the society in this way. I run a small business in Dubai that creates very little impact on making people's lives better ;) Always think to myself about ways in which I can meaningfully contribute to the society but get distracted. This podcast is bringing me back on track :)
for me this podcast is - Upar se gaya :) but the best part is I've noted many points which I need to learn and get knowledge on various things ...Thanks Nitin for such podcast for which we need to learn and come back again to know more :)
I am a little late to discover Nikhil's podcast but I absolutely find the sessions too insightful. I am learning a lot from Nikhil, especially the way he speaks, the soft and slow tones and the audacity fused with the patience towards his guests.
Asking follow-up questions from the finest VCs of India, keeping the three actively engaged in meaningful conversation is brilliant! Not to forget that Zerodha never raised a single penny from any institutional investors as they are completely bootstrapped so Nikhil for sure do not have experienced that journey from a founder's perspective still his questions, follow-on points are just incredible!!
Production quality is increasing day by day ... Thanks nikhil mic quality is top notch in this episode as compared to others
The most high quality podcast out there on Entrepreneurship in Indian context.
I feel smarter after listening to this podcast.
Kudos to the panel for being so much genuine and patient.
Also learning so much from Nikhil's way of expressing and asking soo good questions.
Thank you nikhil because of you i found my new favorite subject- economics 🙏
ARE MY PLEDGE HOLDINGS SAFE IF THIS GUY DATES RHEA CHAKRABORTY? PLEASE REPLY😢😢
It's been a while since something on TH-cam has me hooked for 2 hrs (actually even 10 min+). I think the topics, pacing, relevance, de-cluttering, focus on the real issues, everything was spot on!! Great job!!
Shorts and reels have reduced the attention span crazy. We always find more satisfied after watching 2 hours of podcast than 2 hours or reel
Nikhil please don't keep beard! 😂
U have sanest voice and composure...whatever comes out of your mouth is a masterclass 👌 👏 🙌 💯
My 10,000 hours of learnings in last 10 years summarised in 2 hours. Incredible.
Why am I so excited for this episode? 😂
I think I have grown up now😢
I love the way Nikhil talks and especially when he interrupts and dumbs down the question with options and then asks again. I wish I could meet him and learn from him
Stop wishing.
Hey Nikhil,
I really love what you do. Thank you!
I'd recommend not revealing how much each person is willing to commit to charity, but only reveal the total to audience. While this strategy might receive lesser money, panellists are more likely to leave with a sweeter aftertaste.
This is fantastic; Nikhil's questions represent an average individual trying to understand the basics of the systems built around us for decades and the future. A great learning experience in total.
It would be awesome to do a podcast focused on research and development by startups especially on space tech and battery tech
Something which I have to watch twice or thrice to understand the concept on a whole. An absolute gem of knowledge heads out there. Thanks to Nikhil and Nithin for this.
One polite request to Nikhil,
Please allow guest to complete their thoughts.
Your brother is like your twin brother .......... speaking in synchronisation ....... he makes conversation richer ...... kudos to Kamath brothers .........
Nikhil really loving these WTF pods, keep them coming. Great personalities on the pod . Thanks for all the information
Hi Nikhil !
From a youngish 1st generational entrepreneur in Goa I thank you so much for all your podcasts, they are extremely informative and I wait for each one to be released!
You ask the right questions and truth be told even if a podcast was 6hrs long it would feel like a 5 min watch !
If and ever you are in Goa next I would love to meet you and hope we could discuss the next big thing.
Who wants to watch 'WTF is Indian Politics'?
No one
😂😂😂😂coz we already know all about it@@benz4399
Imagine a podcast with Shashi Tharoor, Nitin Gadkari, Subramanyam swami, and raghav chadha.
It would be interesting to see Indian politicians talk to each other with some sense for once
No one
@@jasraajpuri7161 Never happening.
To hear it from such respectable personalities in their calm, collected and clean language is absolutely wonderful. Short content wins over? Not Really, valuable 2.5hrs like this! Please do more of these.
