[00:00:15.370] - Darshan Doshi

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Swatantra. This is a podcast series where we simplify investing. This is a podcast co-branded by Dasar and Proinvest Nirmiti. You know, the last time we did a sector deep down analysis with Rushabh, and today we are going to do another one with him on banking and financial sector. So, Rushabh, welcome. We're going to cover, again a sector analysis with you today. I have some big data points before I kind of ask you a question, and that is, India, almost 40% of the Indian population, that is almost about 400 to 500 million people, according to the World Bank, do not have sufficient access to finances or access to capital. And the government of India has been focusing, the central government has been focusing on financial inclusion for a very long time. But it looks like we are still further away. What financial inclusion does is it brings more rounded holistic, economic development, economic growth, and it really uplifts the poor. According to another report, 20% of India's population lives below poverty. That's over 200 million people. I mean, these numbers are just mind-boggling. Financial inclusion sounds great. A lot of people, a lot of PR has been talking about it, but really it just comes down to banking and financial sector. So can you just set the context, the macro view of what is this like? How big is the banking and financial sector?

 [00:01:55.190] - Rushabh Doshi

 

Yeah, so let's just take a step back. So from an investor point of view, if you take banking and financial services, it's the largest part in the Nifty 50. It accounts for around 38% of weight in the Nifty 50. So it's an important aspect for an investor if he's investing through an ETF from direct equity or from a mutual fund. It's a big sector. And you know what I like about it is that it's well regulated. So everything is organized. We have many industries where there's unorganized or organized, but in this sector, everything is organized and well regulated. And as you just said, we are under-penetrated. So if we take mortgages, which is a big part of banking, in developed countries, it's around 80%. In USA is around 52%. In India, it's just around 10% to 15%. So there's a lot of room there left for growth if we take household leverage to GDP even there, India is almost at the lower quarter, where we are just around 19%. And certain developed countries have even cost 110%. So there's a long way to go in this industry. And as you said, there's a lot of need. And at the end of the day, what I believe is that you take whichever industry, banking is the backbone for that industry, and it drives economics and it actually magnifies gains or whatever could happen in ten years. Banking and easy access to credit makes it possible to do that journey in just five years.

[00:03:37.430] - Darshan Doshi

 

So another data point is around the Pandemic. Just before the Pandemic, there were a lot of reports around India touching $5 trillion economy by 2025. The updated same research report says that India is likely to now become a $5 trillion economy by 2027. Now, what I find is whether it's 2025, 2027 or 2030, I think it doesn't matter very much because we are almost talking about a 30 or 40% growth in our total GDP economic activity, which means there is money to be made. And if there is a bigger pie, then everybody who's living in it gets a bigger piece of the pie. And so it's natural flow of money going down to the masses. And those numbers are scary. The numbers that you shared right. Are very scary. I wish there was a way for us to put a nitro boost on this. But let's take one step back. Let's go into the history of banking. So what is the history of banking, really?

[00:04:43.090] - Rushabh Doshi

 

So it all started in Italy. So what used to happen, like traders used to come with their ships to trade, but at that time, the problem was that

[00:00:08.650] - Darshan Doshi

Hi, everyone. Welcome to DASAR. Today's podcast is on fitness. It's on running, it's on health. And I have an awesome podcast guest with me, Shajan Samuel. He's a runner. He's an Ultramarathoner. He's a business leader. And so we are going to talk a lot of things today. This might be a long podcast. Just like the others, we're going to cover fitness. How do you get fit? How do you maintain fitness? Everybody has a busy life. Everybody wants to have a great social life. But how do you keep fitness as a key parameter in your life? We are also going to cover injuries, sickness. We are going to cover nutrition, sleep, and a whole lot of things related to fitness in this podcast. So, first of all, welcome. This is an absolute pleasure to host you here. I've been an avid fan, a follower of your tweets. And the moment I kind of reached out to you, you said, all right, let's do this, right? And so I'm super excited about this. Thanks a lot for joining us on DASAR.

[00:01:17.570] - Shajan Samuel

Yeah, I'm very much thrilled and delighted to be on this podcast. And I look forward to sharing my limited wisdom with all your listeners.

[00:01:26.360] - Darshan Doshi

Brilliant. So let's get started with the basics. How did your fitness journey start? Were you unhealthy at any given point of time? And then how did you build that momentum towards fitness?

[00:01:37.990] - Shajan Samuel

See, it all started off the fly. I had a very busy traveling job. I used to travel around more than 20 days a month. And while I was in Kerala, I worked in Kerala for a year. I used to have a lot of oily parathas and chicken and stuff like that. So I put on a lot of weight when I was 32. So at 36, 37, one fine morning off the fly, I just went for a short jog and I was surprised to utter dismay. I could not even run 100 meters. I was panting and gasping for breath. And I told myself, this is not fair, this is not done. This is absolutely ridiculous. And that is the day I realized that, what's this? So I came back home and I said, next day, again, I went out and I could run 150 meters. So I realized that there's something wrong with my health. Fitness.

[00:02:38.810] - Darshan Doshi

So that's how you got started. I'm going to set the context for our audience. Today, you're an ultramarathoner. You are in the Limca Book of records. You won other Indian records as well, maybe better than me explaining. Maybe you can help us understand what is ultramarathon. And just a quick overview of the records and the work that you do in the fitness space across India. Because it's not just running for passion. You're making this a cause. This is a cause for living for you. So maybe just some more thoughts on this.

[00:03:16.380] - Shajan Samuel

Yeah, I was 92 kg, and definitely I was not in control of my life. I was like a ship without a rudder. And my life was wandering aimlessly. So when I was 37, I started to jog. I was able to do 10 km with a lot of struggles. I was running five, then walking 2 km, then slow walk. So this saga continued for four years. So till 40 years I was doing 10k with lot of effort and struggle and discomfort. I was still 92, so I was not losing weight. I was still not losing weight. So 40 years I made this audacious plan that, look, I want to transition into a long distance runner. And I did not know how and what, but this is a commitment I made to myself. So the difference between the promise and the commitment is that promise you make to others, commitment you make to yourself. So I knew that if I had to become an ultra runner, I have to make things very, very difficult for me. The best place to hang around is the comfort zone. But nothing radical happened there. So I moved to Mumbai. I stayed in a slum, absolute slum, devoid of all amenities. I slept on the hard floor. No TV, no television, no refrigerator, nothing. Just the floor. And at 07:00 p.m., I used to go off to s
