In today’s episode of Figuring Out, Raj is in conversation with the Indian Historian and the bestselling author - Dr. Vikram Sampath. His work includes the biographies of the infamous ‘Gauhar Jaan’, the forgotten hero of Indian freedom struggle - ‘Veer Savarkar’ and ‘Bravehearts of Bharat’. Hailing from Bangalore, Samapth grew up disliking History and a certain serial about the Wadiyars of Mysore intrigued him to know more about the History. The fascination led him to an intensive research and eventually he released his first book named ‘Splendours of Royal Mysore’. 

Sampath discusses how Indian movies need to be more realistic when it comes to the adaptation of Historic figures and how history textbooks need to paint a wider picture of our past that is inclusive of the whole of India. He explains why our history is taught in the way it is and reveals some hidden stories of the Indian past that only a handful of us might be aware of. 

He explains who Veer Savarkar really was and introduces us to the heroics of this man. He elucidates on the ideological war between Gandhi & Savarkar and mentions the need of celebrating other freedom fighters as well. Sampath gives us a holistic view of the Indian past and explains why it is necessary to look back at Indian History as a critique and not hide uncomfortable details under the carpet.

In today’s episode of Figuring Out, Raj talks with Anand Neelakantan, one of India's top selling authors of over 10 books including the famous ‘bahubali.’ Anand Neelakantan wrote the official prequel series of novels for the Baahubali film series. Anand is also a columnist, screenwriter, and a public speaker. He is known for writing mythological fiction for TV & shows. Hailing from Kerala, Anand resides in the city of Mumbai owing to his passion for writing. 

Being well versed with multiple editions of the ancient Indians epics, Anand shares with us some unheard stories from Rsamayan & Mahabharat and compels us to view them from a fresh lens. He sheds light on how the visualisation in TV has made us see the our epics from a restrained perspective and broadens the horizon of what all can be learnt from Ramayana & Mahabharata. 

He discusses the cyclic nature of life and explains how karma has given its boon and bane to even the gods of our epic tales. He helps us understand the different ways of lives that Lord Rama & Lord Krishna have led and what are the outcomes of the two. This episode will be extremely enlightening for you, so make sure you watch it till the end!

In today’s episode of Figuring Out, Raj talks with Rajesh Dembla, an Investor & Entrepreneur having companies like Dunzo, Decentro out of many others in his portfolio. Hailing from Bangalore, Dembla has personified the idiom ‘Rags to riches’ and is a self made man in true sense. 

Dembla shares his heart out about spending nights sleeping at railway platforms and rising from doing odd jobs to earn bread & butter for himself & his family, and what went behind the journey of becoming a successful investor & an entrepreneur. 

Having built a successful career at Yellow Pages & Just Dial, Dembla discusses the business models of the two and sheds light on what worked for both of these companies and what did not. How investors in the startup ecosystem are willing to 
make the companies spend at the cost of a risky burnout of funds.

How Indian customers & Indian employees are different from the West, how consumerism is changing in India and breaking down sales step by step is what you’ll get to watch in this podcast!

Make sure you watch this video till the end!
