In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Dr. Velumani Arokiaswamy in Conversation with Raj Shamani. He is the founder of Thyrocare, India’s leading clinical laboratory. It has 7000+ centers all over India. But this conversation is not just about Thyrocare but about a person who was born poor but ended up building a billion-dollar company and exited it with a 5000 crore cheque.
In this episode, we talked about how he became the leader of his family at the age of 10. How he started earning at the age of 11 to how he went to a college and chose Bcom over BSc to save money, how his teacher funded his BSc, how he got rejected from 50 companies after his graduation and how he came to Mumbai with 500 rupees, slept on the railway station for 3 days until he got selected in BARC. His journey and stories between these struggles and wins will motivate you to the core. We talked about how his father-in-law persuaded him to marry his daughter and how his wife became his first employee at Thyrocare. He shared the story of building thyrocare.
Towards the end, we talked about business and entrepreneurship and he gave tons of advice and tips for entrepreneurs. He also shared why he exited his company and his life post the exit. We ended our conversation by talking about industries that have a huge scope in the coming days. This conversation was one of a kind with constant punchlines and learnings shared by Dr. Velumani.

#Podcast #FiguringOut #RajShamani
I have worked for 3 years in Thyrocare
They hired me as a fresher, I am very proud of you Sir
Do they hire freshers now?
Dear I left Thyrocare in 2019 and sir also sold his company, hence don't have any idea.
What was your salary there?
Since I was fresher they offered me LPA 2.8
Lpa 2.8 means?
Best line for me and many young Indians was " Poverty gives you the power to take fast decisions" 💪
💯
I am also a 68 yrs old young man.Rebuilt my 34 yrs old business at the age of 63.But i have learnt alot after watching this podcast.This interview will inspire many new comers in near future.Also i Salute Dr.Velumani sir for his courage and his punch lines.
Why does our schools not teach about this person..
Such a fantastic person with vast knowledge❤
Bhai sahab, itna maza to movie dekh kr bhi nhi ata hai, jitna is podcast se aya, inke upar movie banni chahiye❤
Right😊
Exactly
Tru
That’s True !
Rajnikanth should play his role
My favorite punch line is
1. Keeping the price low
2. Let your competitors do marketing for you
3. You can never take decision when you discuss be independent and take decision alone.
4. Freedom is the biggest blessing.
5. Fortunately born poor
6. Take risk when you feel you have nothing to lose. ( Count this as blessings)
7. When his wife said "i want to be the greatest person of a struggling family rather then a mediocre person of a established family"
8. Hire more freshers and train them by your self it's better then hiring experienced persons.
And on the lighter note
"Everyone wants an experienced employee but no one wants an experienced wife 😂😂" very Halirous ☺️☺️
Thanks to u too bhai .. 😁
Thankyou for summarizing
Idea's are like sperms ,in millions only one works😂
good one
You missed one punch line.. For a successful man, wife becomes secretary. And for failed man, secretary becomes wife
Here are some key lessons from the podcast:
1) Avoid complaining about your situation; always take responsibility for your life.
2) Take risks in life, but calculate them properly.
3) Never fear to upgrade yourself.
4) A product of better quality and lower cost can go viral with minimal marketing.
5) The value of giving exceeds that of taking.
This podcast reflects on the importance of continuous self-improvement in life
We make such insightful podcast summaries in our channel .
Personally, Enjoy It.
He's actually a Storyteller and his punches are Mindblowing..
Never saw this type of Entrepreneur..♥️
A Man With Simple Mind..
His sense of Humour is too high 👌👌👌
I started my business after watching DR. Velumani sir in 2020 .. a big thank you 🙏.. FOCUS-LEARN-GROW-ENJOY..
Thank you for sharing 🎉,can you suggest as I am planning to start this year
What kind of business and may I get some of your blessings and advice
Hlo from where are you
how is it going bro?
Kon kon reels dekh ke aya he ?? 😂😂
Bro is cooking!
✋
✋
I...
Present sir 🤚😂
Best punch line"if you don't love your spouse your neighbour will,if you don't train your employee your compdeter will.
either you can discuss or you can decide you can't do both because once you discuss you cannot decide."
Best podcast ever, when he told "there are Tamil audience across the world unko happiness aana chahiye" proud as a tamilian ❤ such a great man
Mumbai❤ changed many people life in bharat ❤...!! North to south people came to Maharashtra to get job do career ...Mumbai - city of dream ❤...!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we are super proud of our Indian brothers from south
@@hindu-rashtra8215absoluetly per karcha jyada hota bhai
Hey can you type the tamil phrase
😊 Good content
First time I saw Raj has no questions to ask. He's just stunned. Velumani sir is genius because of his background he learned many things in early age. Understanding of things, decision-making is the best way.. Loved it❤
One of the best podcasts I ever heard. Kudos to Dr. Velumani Sir and Raj Shamani.
Every Punch line said by sir has deep meaning.❤❤
He remembers every incident of his life so vividly...Only some one who is fully involved with life can do so
I found the real definition of alpha male😮😮😮
Hats off to you sir..❤
Thankyou very much raj bhaia.
This is best Indian podcast page because shamani invites his Guest to speak not like other's to listen.
Right🎉
Yes exactly...
Thank you @Raj Shamani for the wonderful podcast.
There are many things to learnt from your podcasts but today Dr. Velumnai has given many punchlines which are very important if we took it in best positive way.
1. Ideas are like Sperms, only one in a million works
2. If you don't love your wife, your neighbor will, if you don't love your employee your competitors will
3. Romance with Risk, High Risk High Rewards which I also follow in my life.
4. For every successful man the wife becomes the secretory and for every failed man the secretory becomes the wife
5. If the costing is wrong, the pricing is wrong
6. The standing machine is liability and running machines are assets
7. No one open the Syringe unless the customer opens the purse
8. For job everybody wants experienced, but they only get freshers but for marriage ..........................
9. Underpaid Assets and Overpaid liabilities
Waoo, this is the first time i saw this man's face, and the impression he has left on my mind is that he is beyond genius... he has shaken my veins... Their is a punchline pa punchline.
"He is one of a kind of a man, who you begin to love in the first impression.
Waooo
6:43 poverty and power 7:43 concept of minimalism 8:33 importance of freedom 10:40 11:06 11:33 minimmalism again 12:14 nice mindset 13:09 excelling despite having very minimal resources 28:05 28:24 31:20 smtgh on risk 32:50 what real freedom is 33:34 46:39 49:10
Thank you so much
Thank you ❤
So Nice of you...
Thanks 😊
Thanks
Velumani sir 🎉youngster need a person like you to guide u 😊😊😊😊
Indeed, he is a brilliant leader and a mentor 💯
But he doesn't want to guide anyone personally.😁
Raj Shamani, sir, you or your staff made a wonderful choice in selecting the guest.
Ask yourself you want to have 15000 in age of 80 or 90 or you want to have 1-2cr in 23-24 ?
@@rajshamaniwilling to join as intern ..ready to quit my existing job... kindly guide with point of contact ji
One Rare Thing I learn from Dr. Velumani sir Is That If You Have patience "every Thing, That Is Unfortunate Become A FORTUNATE"❤❤
The way he acknowledges Dr. Kartikeyan and says " Agar woh nahi hota to main aaj Raj Shamani ke samne baitha nahi hota " is the epic moment of this interview. Simple line but deep meaning ❤
Grandpa is more savage then today's teens 😞🤣🤣♥️🔥🔥
Dr Velumani Sir The great Personality.
First Time in 2014 I listen him on my freshers party in college .
Wish , I had the opportunity to know about Dr VELUMANI 20 years ago ..My life would have been different , easy and comfortable..
The success what he got is the result of his clarity on the idea he had..A poor child who fought for daily meals now got 5000cr in his pocket... His journey is of freedom, a man of gut and decision making phenomenon 🙂
200 out of 200 without text book
and from totally maths student to build empire in Medical sector wow
and calculated risk taking mind set
Great to invest my break time in this podcast
Truly inspiring. In a world that is running behind the exploitative and toxic corporate culture, man chose to stick to his words of recruiting only freshers! Mad respect ! Raj, get more such iconic people.
Thanks 🙏🏼❤️
Shamani accha handle kiya. Ye admi to hira hai. Overload of experience, storytelling, comic timing.
I love this men. Lot's of respect for sir. Or inke punchline are jo dil me sidha andar tak ghus jaye
Raj's happyness in this podcast was another level. He really loved talking to him.
Truly a teacher with no conditions....Only wisdom full of punch lines😂❤❤❤

Raj I'm from tamilnadu, I was badly waiting for him to be a guest absolutelyy loved it

In 1982 i did not know where is thrid Was,
In 1992 I finish a PHD in Thyroid in Chemistry
In 2002 i am running a world 's largest Thyroid laboratory
Here Comes the Punch Line
If You do what you have studied you will survive
But
If you do what you have not studied You will be the Leader !
such a brilliant person ...NO words for his intelligence just fantastic maza aa gya ... maan to kar rha hai bohot kuch likhne ka lekin bs itna hi kahunga ki bohot bohot mza aaya to knowledge mila ise kehte hai asli teaching mze mze mae pura concept clear kar dena watched on 21st april 2024
....
What a person my GOD😮 every punchline is superb...thank you Sir for sharing your story.
Ye podcast mene Spotify pr suna h Amazing 🎉
Favorite punch line
1. जीना है या जीतना है ।
2. बड़ा बनना है या बूढ़ा बनना है ।
❤️
जीना है या जीतना है.
The end was a shocker when he told us about why he exited. What a man ! Thank you for such a great podcast. A lot of takeaways, will have to listen to it again ! Keep on going!
punch line is ''everyone want experienced employee but during marriage time no anyone want like that ''
super line
Certainly the BEST episode which has helped me in figuring out few key aspects for a planned business in family wellness! Thanks Raj for bringing in such genuine and amazing people like Dr Velumani!
It is true that his exit from Thyrocare is best case scenario.. Dr. Velumani has exited when the stock price was 1200.. the company's stock has never seen that price ever again. He knew his business and he could forecast it so well, exiting the business that time was perhaps the best decision one could make....
This has to be the best podcast in the globe. Goosebumps.. Hands down Sir... "Jeena hein ya Jitna hein?" 💪🏻 If I become someone in this planet, I will always remain grateful to this man's journey and risk taking abilities and down to earth attitude. God bless all. ❤️
I fall in love with this person. his punch lines are really amazing. Salute Sir.
Thank you so much, One of the best Podcast ..loved it , enjoyed it.
Wonderful Human being and great inspiration.
Thanks to both of you.
One of the best videos i have ever seen. Learnt a hell lot of business lessons from it. Thanks for doing such videos Raj !
Me too ❤
I love the way he keeps throwing in his punchlines (and telegraphing them beforehand) - very inspirational
on one side he is good motivator to each young person. on the other hand i feel uneasy with his strong act or ethics, removing old people bluntly from job (25k employed only 2.5k remain), got idea in govt organization but started his own private company. Thanks raj for such good podcast.
Man,what a wonderful podcast. Keep up the good work. TBH I didnt knew Dr Velumani Sir , what a wonderful person. Inspiration for upcoming Indian Generation. Thank you.
8:36. Very powerful line... Awesome 🎉
Dear Raj, I'm writing this comment just before watching the episode. Thanks a lot, Raj, for bringing him to the show. He was my first employer and remains my inspiration. Excited to watch and gain some new insights.
True...many legends just tell like they achieved this etc....but how and what exactly happened behind the success story..today I got complete motivation.. thoroughly .
I want to request to call the pharma industries related to renowned people...
One of the best podcast on this channel starting to end was amazing and some much of learning from the punch lines ... we want one more episode from Dr. Vellumani sir so much motivation so many business strategies so much planning and he has so much to tell about his journey .. such a lovely and truly inspiring story ❤ more power to you to bring us this episode and Dr. Vellumani sir ..❤❤ looking forward for more information..
I'm just half way through n I haven't met a more dynamic and visionary Man like u ....d way u laugh ur heart out brings Joy...God bless you Raj u can't do better than this.... awesome
In life either you can discuss or you can decide , you can not do both because once you discuss you can't decide 💯
Just amazing, the best podcast i have ever listened to.Thanks a lot for the valuable podcast.
Sir your story telling and ur real story is just amazing but the thing re- listened was Mam's answer 'ek unchi Ghar me ek choti bahu mujhe nahi rahnaahai ek chota ghar me mujhe ek unchi Bahu rahna hai' u r made for each other
Another Brilliant podcast Raj... Velumani Sir is the best story teller I have heard till date. His punchlines will not let you skip a single second of what he is saying...
My fav punchline : For every successful man the wife becomes the secretary and for every failed man the secretary becomes the wife...😂😂😂

Love you Velumani Sir... Very Inspiring and thought provoking punchlines...Am Amazed... You built the business for the comman man... you detached from your business like Buddha... let all the good energies of the universe bless you and your family... Thank You Raj ❤
One of the best interviews so far , enjoyed every punch line and business lessons
Woah it was the best podcast i ever watched.🤩 I wasn't sure I'd have time, but I'm so glad I squeezed it in. It was so engaging and informative - a total win
Dr. Velumani's narrative underscores the essence of calculated risks, disciplined workforce training, and unwavering motivation driving sustainable business growth.
A film biography about the life of Dr. Velumani ought to be produced. which will undoubtedly motivate a particular group of others who are facing the same dilemma.
N.B.Don't forget to add the punch line, whatever he said.
Totally agreed
*OPTIMISE* The word itself is beyond the boundary... A very inspiring story with the best outcome on TH-cam for generations together to build entrepreneurship, just by spending one hour possible, KHUDDHOS to Sri Velu sir and Mr sha to helping real business minded people on this earth.... Humble salutes.🎉😅❤
Best podcast ever ❤❤❤. He is ausome. ❤❤
I loved Useful punchline is ,
❤ EITHER U DO DISCOSSION OR MAKE A DECISION. ❤
With calculated risk. By securing family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
❤🎉THIS PUNCH made me a free to have my space and aslo teached me IMPORTANCE OF BEING INDEPENDENT to take decision 🎉❤❤❤❤
Thanks bro . To have a such a wonderful❤ man❤. Dr. Velumani ❤
What A Lovely Lively Personality...A Living Legend ...Not Only Business... He Taught What A Life Is And How To Live It....Amazing🎉
Behind every successful man, there is a wife turned secretary,behind every failed man is a secretary turned wife😂
This line is very true
@@amittyagi5756 🤣

So basically all hard work planning execution is not but ...ahem
Woow sir life me first aisa podcast dekha ....bahut kuchh mila sikhne ko
Mja.. inspiration... emotion.. communication
And lovely punchlines❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best personality and best podcast ever heard.
Best punch line ‘’either discuss or decide’’
Thanks from bottom of my heart for having this podcast... I can't tell in words how valuable this is ❤❤
I personally met dr. Velumani sir in chennai in a function, it a delight to met him ,what a fantastic personality
AAYA TO PAHAD, GAYA TO BAAL was inspiring...❤❤
Loved the man,loved the show.
Though each and every line I loved by Dr. Velumani Sir,my most favourite was "Dene wala jitta hai,lene wala nahi".
Thank you Raj Sir for bringing such personality infront of us through your show.
Best wishes to you and your team 👍
I wish good health and happiness to Dr. Velumani Sir 🙏Vanakkam.
Really very much encouraging & valuable punch lines... A big salute to Velumani Sir. Expect sime more episodes with him🙏🙏
Learnings
• Positive outlook on everything
• If you don't love your spouse neighbour will
• Unrealistic expectations are problem
• Intelligance makes you powerful
• How you do is more important than what you do
Bada Bano bhudhha nahi
• Take calculated risk
Don't discuss take decisions if you are independent
• Never copy exceptions
Ideas are like sperm, only in million work
Jeenei ke liyei nehi ayeiii jitnei ke liyeii ayeiii... one of the best content i would say ... great tribute to Velumani Sir.
I have searched...Now Watching....
U both of you made me do it ...real gems
Best podcast ever man kudos🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Please bring more storyteller people like him❤
Awesome teachings... Thanks for sharing ur experiences ... நன்றி
parents will give you everything but not the freedom to take decision ...that is what most of us face
definitely not disrespecting parents , but parents must understand the freedom of taking decisions
love u raj this is the only full podcast and first podcast which i seen on ur channel, velumani sir love u , love at first sight osho is my spritual guru and velumani sir is my business guru jab tak todega nahi tab tak chodega nahi
It's been a year now, every weekend I used to listen to your podcast while cooking food and washing utensils! By the way, I love to cook! It has become a habit now; I've listened to each podcast that you've uploaded, and it really helps me a lot, more than pursuing an MBA admission after graduation.
Kudos to the entire team @figuring out 👏
this is indeed the best podcast I have ever listened to. The insights about entrepreneurship and his life journey are mind blowing. Raj please do have Dr. Velumani again on your show.
Best podcast I ever came across. Gem of a person ❤
Thank you so much for this broadcast ❤
I have worked with Sir..in starting days...lucky enough..gratitude..
He was destined to follow this journey and he did what God had planned for him. He IS AN INSPIRATION for others to follow. The podcast was really good. Thank you Rajji🙏
The best podcast ever . There is no one such best punch line every word he spoke touched the mind n heart equally. I was wondering how could somebody be so happy.
One of the best podcasts. Enjoyed every moment from start to end. Thank you Raj Shamani.
He has done great decisions in his success journey. But what I saw is his ability to start a company in right age and exit at the right age. Many people begin business and siezed to it cannot come out of it so easier as he told when his children were not more enthusiastic... We could see his clarity in his thinking..
Again as he says punchline mode... He had Plan B when Plan A didn't work and he was so inspirational in his thoughts...
Nice we got see your thoughts
Very well done interview ….enjoyed Velumani sir’s life experiences, punch lines. My salute to his wife who is the rock of his life & RIP.
Inspired.
This one is an amazing podcast, one of the best I've streamed on your channel. What amazing punchlines and stories to share...
Continuously two times I watched it. I'll watch again and again.
