[00:00:08.530] - Darshan Doshi

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Dasar. We have an amazing podcast today. I have with me Indraneel Chitale. Welcome, Indraneel.

[00:00:16.090] - Indraneel Chitale

Hi, Darshan. Good evening and pleasure to be here.

[00:00:18.810] - Darshan Doshi

Brilliant. So let me do a quick round of introduction of what you can expect in this podcast. Indraneel Chitale is the fourth-generation family business entrepreneur. We are going to talk about family business entrepreneurship. We are going to talk about digital transformation. We are going to talk about D2C brands. We are going to talk about how do you position the brand positioning, brand creation, distribution and a whole lot of other things including family business structure, ownership. So stay tuned. Feel free to it's going to be a long podcast. I hope you're going to enjoy it. But let me introduce very quickly, Indraneel is the managing partner of Chitale Group based out of Pune. If you ever think about one brand, if you've grown up in Pune, it is Chitale Group, right? For me personally, this brings back nostalgia from my childhood, going back to Bishop's school days, to engineering days, to be able to celebrate family functions, to be able to celebrate all the lovely birthdays with sweets, the Bhakarwadi. Even when I was traveling to Boston, studying at Babson Bhakarwadi was the first thing that I would pack when I'm traveling to Boston. So we're going to talk a whole lot of things Indraneel. And one of the things that I want to first start with is the story. Because it is such a powerful brand, it is a legacy, it is something which has touched the globe just based on very simple principles and some great but authentic food. So can you just give us a quick overview of how did Chitale Group start, how did the business start and your fourth generation? And so how has it transcended over the generations? We'd love to quickly hear about it from your point of view.

[00:02:22.080] - Indraneel Chitale

That's an important part of why we exist today. So it started in the year 1939. My great grandfather, Late B.G. Chitale started the company and that time it was B.G. Dairies as it was known as. And that is the brand name that still continues to exist for our milk business. So what he did was he started working out of a place called Bhilawadi that is on the banks of Krishna river in Sangli district. And this place, it was something that he was sure about or he bet on this because it was having a railway line which was at times owned by the British Railways. But that connected Bhilawadi to Mumbai, which was a big marketplace. And that ensured that whatever he was trying to make or the milk products that he was producing, they could reach a marketplace like Mumbai and actually have a market or a potential to be sold. So he tried doing that as a B2B business where this product was sold as a B2B product to other brands in Mumbai. And these brands sold it as their own product, sort of a white labeled activity in Mumbai. What used to be issue is that this was an era where there was no telephone, forget internet, no electricity as well at that time in Bhilawadi. So those were diesel fire, electrical generators that used to exist. So keeping a control on what was happening in the market was something that he did not get an idea of and he could not do because there was no system to do that. So very often he used to be cheated and people used to complain that your product was not up to good and they used to sell it and hive off all the profit and not give anything to him. So that's when he called his eldest son, Late Bhausaheb Chitale who is my grandfather's elder brother, to come in from he was that time working in Gujarat as a mill worker. And he asked him, you better come to Mumbai and start looking into this, because I can't keep attention in what's happening in Mumbai. So business continued and they realized that Mumbai is no

Hi everyone. Welcome back to Swatantra. I have with me my partner, podcast partner Jaydeep Doshi from Proinvest Nirmiti and I am Darshan from Dasar. At Swatantra what we aim to do is to simplify investing so that you can be financially independent by investing at the right time, with the right knowledge, with the right partners. So today what we are going to do is we are going to talk about global investing. And this is a topic which is of very high interest to me personally. And so I'm going to ask a lot of questions to you Jaydeep, which are kind of very relevant to me and many of the people that I know and I'm talking to today. So quickly, what is global investing? I am an Indian citizen living in India, working at a job, earning money and now wanting to invest in the US market, the European market, or Australian market, right? But I don't know how to do this. I don't know what this means from a taxation standpoint. Am I even allowed to do this? How would I do this? How would I choose? How would I research stocks and then why would I do this? So we want to cover all of these topics in this podcast today and we are going to simplify global investing as an Indian citizen living in India. So the first and the most basic question, why should anyone invest in global stock markets when you have sensex, when you have Nifty 50 doing so well?

[00:01:52.670] - Jaydeep Doshi

Yeah, so I mean, first thing is, while investing, the basic rule is to not have any kind of biases. So first thing is, whether you're in India or you're in the US, you must always consider the right investment opportunity for you. India being just 3% of global GDP, there's like immense opportunities globally. There are a lot of listed companies who are trading and doing very well. To give an example, everyone of us use Amazon, we use Netflix and company and directly-indirectly we know that we are going to be associated with them for the years to come. And I think why shouldn't we think of these businesses also, india being a developing market, we should also, as a part of diversification, have some exposure to developed countries also where there's more transparency, data is more efficient and information flow is more transparent over there or at the same time everybody gets the information. So it makes a lot of sense in terms of diversification and identifying good business and investing in them and having no biases also.

[00:03:01.500] - Darshan Doshi

Okay, so basically, if I am investing Rs 1000 anywhere in any instrument, as an investor, I'm trying to maximize my returns. At the same time, I don't want to lose that Rs 1000 that I have earned by working hard. And so diversification portfolio management becomes important and this is where maybe we can even discover some great businesses like Amazon, like Apple, like Netflix, although it has taken a bit of a beating recently. So, okay, what are my options? I want to invest abroad outside India. What are the best places and what are the various options that I have to invest globally?

[00:03:49.210] - Jaydeep Doshi

So the most common or most easy option these days is investing in the US markets. So Motilal Oswani way back in 2009 had introduced NASDAQ 100 ETF. And as you know, the last decade has been for the developing countries, developed countries like US. And they've done better than the emerging countries or developing countries like India. And we have these ETFs which we can buy through mutual funds. We can buy stocks also now and buy them in fractions. We can buy an Indian mutual fund which has small part of it invested only in the global market. It's more to do for the taxation purpose. So, yeah, we have these ETFs, we can buy stocks, we can buy infractions. And this is all about these are the options that we have. But most options that we have are directed are more for the US markets. And we don't really have a lot of choices to

[00:00:09.130] - Darshan Doshi

Hi guys. Welcome to DASAR. Today we are going to talk about health and wellness. They say good health is wealth. And this topic today that we are going to talk about is something that's very, very dear to me. And it's about nutrition, it's about chronic diseases. It's about well-being, it's about preventive health care or simple things that you could do to remain healthy for as long as you can live, right? And I could not think of a better person than Mugdha Pradhan. I've known Mugdha for a few years now. She has been through a personal experience, which I'm hoping we'll be able to talk through in this podcast. But a quick introduction. Mugdha is the founder of iThrive. She's a TEDx speaker. She has been or is a nutritionist. She works with a lot of people of different ages on managing their nutrition, their health, their well being, overcoming, curing, chronic diseases, and a whole lot of things that we are going to get into. So in this podcast, it's going to be a long podcast, we go deep on the topic of nutrition, of chronic diseases. So stay tuned if you have any questions. If you think we should cover anything more, drop in a comment. So, Mugdha I have given a quick overview of who you are. I would love to. First of all, thank you for coming on DASAR. It's such a pleasure to have you here. And my first question to you, Mugdha, is how big is this problem, the wellness problem, the health care problem? We are 1.3 billion people nation and growing. We have one of the youngest population in the world, but we also have a very large number of elderly people facing some massive health challenges. So can you just give a context of what is the problem, the size of the problem, what is the problem in healthcare that we are dealing with today?

[00:02:05.580] - Mugdha Pradhan

For sure, before I answer that amazing question, thank you so much for inviting me. I always keep looking for opportunities where I can actually talk about this because it's like I do this day in and day out. I see people who get sick for such simple I mean, you can just prevent and reverse so many things from happening, right? And I'm like, if I could just talk about this more. So, thank you so much for inviting me. I do have a master's degree in nutrition and I've been doing this work, like working with people, reversing diseases, helping them with their chronic health conditions for the last five years now. So, lots of insights that we've seen. So, in India, what happens with research to answer that big question, right? Like, what truly happens with chronic health conditions, at least abroad? When we go into research, we have so much data around the overall chronic health problem. In India, it's all fragmented. So you'll have data about diabetics and then it's shocking data, right? So, for example, as of 2020, I'm sure the numbers become worse because of how people ate during the lockdown. As of 2020, there were 77 million diabetics in India.

[00:03:15.290] - Darshan Doshi

Wow.

[00:03:15.760] - Mugdha Pradhan

Yeah. The number of cancer cases have been going up and the predictions are pretty bad for cancer. And again, people think cancer is something that just happens. But if you look at it deeply, if you go down deep, the way we look at the body and nutrition, it actually is another lifestyle disease. I was looking at the numbers for cardiovascular because so many young people are just passing away with heart attacks, and that number is scary as well. It's around 55 million people who suffer with some sort of a cardiac ailment. And the worst, though, is currently there's an estimate of 190.7 million people with mental health problems, which is not even spoken about, at least diabetes, you get like a diagnosis saying your blood sugar levels are high, and then there's a little degree of compassion around it. People say, don't eat sugar. And all of that happens. Mental health is, again,
