Today on Figuring Out, we have Vaibhav Vardhan in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is the founder of Inc42 Media, a tech media company that has over 20 million monthly reach in the business space. 

In today’s episode, we discussed the ongoing problems in BYJUS and how it is hampering its business. We talked about the importance of relationship building and networking in business, how the perspective of Indians has changed, and how it is leading to overall growth. We dive deeper into the difference between traditional media and the new-age media, and how new-age media is filling the gaps. Vaibhav also shared what made him start Inc42 and what made his company so successful. We also talked about startups in India and recent statistics around them. Further, he talked about the process and breakdown of story building at his company and how most media companies work.

In the end, we discussed why media companies aren’t earning big figures and what they can do to earn up to their maximum potential. We also shared the secret sauce to building a successful brand in India.
