The government of India recently announced a direct cash transfer program called the eRUPI (or e₹UPI), if you want to be pedantic). So, what's this all about and how is it different from all the other cash transfer benefits in the past? As with many such ideas, it sounds great on paper but it all depends on implementation. Naren leads the way as he's the only one among us who read up on this, and we talk about its potential. As a bonus we also have a little discussion about the evolution of currency itself. And we discuss ideas to release a Simblified Coin. Maybe.

Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.

A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humour (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humour", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

Started in 2016 as a creative outlet, Simblified now has over 200 episodes, including some live ones, and some with guests who are much smarter than the hosts. Welcome to the world of Simblified!
