This Round Is On Me with Gauri Devidayal episodes

  • The Business of Hospitality ft. Yash Bhanage & Sameer Seth, Co Founders- Hunger.Inc
    The hospitality industry was badly hit by the pandemic. With most of the staff leaving for their respective hometowns owing to the lockdown, and a responsibility to those staying back, combined with low business; restauranteurs like our host Gauri, and our guests- Yash & Sameer had a big challenge in front of them. From opening up deliveries to setting up cloud kitchens, and at the same time being accountable to both staff & consumers- they have lived through it to tell the tale. This round, Gauri is joined by Yash Bhanage & Sameer Seth, cofounders of Hunger.Inc- the company behind 'The Bombay Canteen', 'The Bombay Sweet Shop', & 'O Pedro'. They talk about managing the business in the pandemic, experimenting with different cuisines, the future of the industry post unlock, bulletproofing against other such incidents, coping with the loss of friends and family, the flip side of aggregator apps, and Veganism. If you are a budding/established restauranteur, this one's surely a masterclass on building an organization that can sustain most challenges.

  • Staying Safe in an Online World ft. Pankit Desai, Co-Founder & CEO- Sequretek
    Starting 2020, the world more or less entirely moved online. And for most of us, we check emails in the same system as we browse Twitter or conduct transactions. The same system has multiple personal and professional data stocked up and all of this lies at a huge risk of being wiped out in a single click. You read that right. Remember those lottery emails that gave us joy for precisely one second before our rationale kicked in? Or a random call asking for OTP? If this is the case on an individual level, imagine the risk on an organizational level. We have heard of apps that collect personal information of individuals signing up on their platform, having their data leaked into the open web. There have been cases where huge servers are broken into by hackers and data has been 'kidnapped' so to speak with an amount asked for as ransom in exchange. And now with just every service finding online presence, there is a need for cybersecurity experts, managers, and portals that address issues that are beyond the usual antivirus. One such company is Sequretek and we have its co-founder and CEO, Pankit Desai on the show. He talks about how an organization is made of People, Processes, and Technology. If people stay vigilant and put processes in place; if processes are followed with the help of technical aid, and if technology is guarded well by the people, the circle is a fortress that no malware can conquer. So if you want a rundown of how to have a safe presence online, tune in!Some links to understand this better: 1. ABIDE EXPLAINED: https://bit.ly/3fpkwa92.

  • First Impression is the Last Impression ft. Archana Jain- MD, PR Pundit

    Brands personify a product but PR grooms them, makes them presentable and spotlight-ready. It connects the brand to the public, builds and maintains those connections, protects its image, and is one of the pillars of its standing.

    PR in India and the world has seen massive growth and maturation. It started as press conferences, press releases to newspapers and journals, to digital presence, to making it big on social media, and to now- the influencer and digital content creation and trends age. Some brands have stood the test of time and technology, all thanks to a strong PR that evolved with the consumer.

    To talk about all this and more, Gauri was joined by Archana Jain, MD of a 23-year-old organization- PR Pundit. An industry expert and veteran, she has seen the industry right from its humble beginning to the blazing field it is now and has contributed to the success of multiple brands. She talks to Gauri about how she got into the industry, how did brands perceive it back then versus how does it work now, how to find the right channel for communication, how to choose the right celebrity/influencer, paid PR, and so much more.

  • Revealing the Secrets to Brand Success ft. Shreya Soni, Founder- DSSC
    Not every product is a brand but can be. For that, the business must think like its target audience and offer them a piece of their personality as well. People not only look for quality and/or quantity but also how does it add value and flavour to their lives?

Also, businesses need to keep a tab on trends and evolve along with the customer to stay relevant. And to help with that, we have multiple agencies offering solutions to various business problems and our guest for the episode belongs to one of the best of them with a beautiful message of how these agencies can be an extension of the client, and that a sense of co-build and ownership can create magic!Please welcome, Shreya Soni, founder of DSSC- Delhi Secret Supper Club who ran the agency in incognito mode for 4 years which is now a full-fledged brand and marketing solutions agency based in Delhi.

  • An Uphill Climb featuring India's Ski Champion Arif Khan

    He has represented India in 105 international events over the past 16 years. He has 13 medals at the national level, and two golds at the international stage. With these credentials, ideally, most of us would have been able to recollect who this person might be but we don't because- what happens in Kashmir, stays in Kashmir!
    The person in consideration is Arif Khan- professional Alpine skier from India, now looking forward to representing India at the Beijing Winter Olympics scheduled for February 2022.
    A 26-year-old boy from Gulmarg, Kashmir; Arif has been skiing since the age of 4. He initially pursued it as a seasonal sport played in the hometown and eventually took it up professionally. Khan races in two categories: the slalom and the giant slalom. Both involve skiing downhill, crisscrossing through pole gates at speeds nearing 90km/hr.
    Just like every other sport, this one too requires funding. It involves the cost of his kit, the coach, dietitian, gym facilities, travel, registrations, etc. Arif's father runs a ski kit shop and a small homestay business that was initially supporting his conquest but owing to Kashmir's turmoil, the changes in laws and administration, and the lockdown, his business suffered and it has been a roadblock ever since. A few friends and supporters did pitch in back in 2018 when he tried to run for the Olympics but fell short at the last moment, he is trying his best again now. And we can certainly help him achieve this dream.

    Vasundhara and Zulfiqar Khan- friends and supporters of Arif in his journey to the Beijing Winter Olympics (February 2022) have started a crowd-funding campaign at:
