Special Appearance - #SeemaKamath, Director at Zerodha 

#wtfiswithnikhilkamath #PeoplebyWTF

There seems to be a preconceived bias about the real estate ecosystem in India. With this episode, we aim to dive into the nuances that explain the complexities of the business.

And who better to explain it than Irfan Razack from Prestige Group, Nirupa Shankar from Brigade Group, and Karan Virwani from WeWork & Embassy. We deep dive into family businesses, passion versus wealth, new-age real estate, and much more.

For those who know me, I’m not the biggest fan of real estate (as an asset class), but I may also not know enough. This episode will give you insight into what really happens in the world’s biggest asset class.

Psychology believes that you start telling yourself you’re passionate at something when you realise you’re better at that something - same logic for talent? How important is it to be talented but also be “relevant” in the industries that seem cool to be in? In this episode of ‘WTF is’ Podcast, we have Kriti Sanon, KL Rahul, & Badshah - who chose career paths which are quite offbeat. Is it sheer talent..? Is it discipline to achieve excellence despite the element of talent? or is it merely good luck? - being at the right place at the right time? ⁠#NikhilKamath⁠ Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/⁠ Instagram: ⁠  / nikhilkamathcio  ⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...⁠ Facebook: ⁠  / nikhilkamathcio  ⁠ ⁠#KritiSanon⁠ Acclaimed actress, model, entrepreneur, and producer Instagram: ⁠  / kritisanon  ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/kritisanon⁠ Facebook: ⁠  / officialks10  ⁠ ⁠#KLRahul⁠ Star cricketer, brand ambassador, and entrepreneur Instagram: ⁠  / klrahul  ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/klrahul⁠ YouTube: ⁠   / @klyoutube  ⁠ Facebook: ⁠  / klrahul  ⁠ ⁠#Badshah⁠ Rapper, singer-songwriter, music producer, and entrepreneur Instagram: ⁠  / badboyshah  ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/Its_Badshah⁠ Facebook: ⁠  / officialbadshah  ⁠ Timestamps - ⁠00:00⁠ Introduction ⁠05:25⁠ Kriti’s introduction ⁠08:55⁠ Kriti on perfectionism and validation ⁠14:28⁠ Kriti’s attachment style ⁠17:58⁠ Kriti on being an outsider ⁠27:45⁠ Kriti in 10 years from today ⁠49:20⁠ X factor ⁠57:05⁠ KL Rahul introduction ⁠59:31⁠ Playing multiple sports = Better Athlete? ⁠01:01:25⁠ KL’s love of cricket as a kid ⁠01:03:18⁠ How imp is talent to become a better cricketer? ⁠01:10:15⁠ Importance of data analysis ⁠01:13:22⁠ KL’s early memories with cricket ⁠01:33:47⁠ How does one become a Cricketer? ⁠01:39:48⁠ Badshah’s Introduction ⁠01:50:13⁠ Entrepreneurs & The Next Big Thing ⁠02:01:23⁠ Badshah’s success story ⁠02:14:35⁠ Plan B? ⁠02:29:51⁠ Boys Chat: Dating, Business & Life ⁠02:40:12⁠ How long does it take to build a successful biz in india

This could be one of those episodes. 

Stay tuned to find out!

India has had a long, colourful, and mixed history with Liquor over the centuries, with ancient fermented drinks and traditional liquors like feni and toddy. India today, holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally, which is remarkable given the challenging business environment of red tape-ism, varying excise duties across states and much more.

In episode #18 of “WTF is” Podcast, we have Founders of different sectors in the Liquor Industry of India. Abhishek Khaitan, MD of Radico Khaitan, One of the oldest and largest manufacturers of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) in India; Minakshi Singh, Co-founder of SideCar, India’s only entry in the top 100 of the World’s Best Bars; Shuchir Suri, Co founder of Gin Explorer’s Club, India’s biggest gin festival with a footfall of over 100,000 people per edition; and Suraj Shenai, Founder of Goa Brewing Co, crafting ‘non-conformist, modern’ beers that challenge the traditional dominance of German and Belgian flavours.

If Euphemism for patriotism is outrightly sold to people, across the world in different pockets, can the same brand-building tactics work for Indian Products too?

​​India holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally. Despite it being such a big market, it is said to be one of the tougher industries to enter and sustain, given the complexities. 

There is also this misconception that making a lot of money in the liquor industry is easy, but what seems to be less apparent is the red tape-ism.. varying excise duties, distribution challenges across states, and more… which is true in some form while entering any industry. 

In this episode, we have Abhishek, Minakshi, Shuchir & Suraj, who will attempt to take us through the A to Z of building businesses in the Liquor Industry in a tangible manner; From building an International Brand, owning a Bar, to creating an influence through passion and finally, a unique identity in a competitive market.

Data suggest that young folks under the age of 30 are spending a lot more time on social media and gaming and less time on TV and physical sports. In this episode, we have the CEO of Nazara Technologies,Krafton India and Lila Games, leaders in the Indian gaming space. We also have Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), a protagonist of the Indian gaming Industry,turning gaming into a full time career in india

Given that gaming for young kids today is what cricket was for Indians back in the day, we explore how one can prepare to become a part of the gaming industry: By either becoming a gamer, understanding specific skills needed and channels of monetisation or by developing and publishing games, knowing how hiring in the gaming industry works and so on.In both of these cases, what remains common is specific skills and knowledge

Given that the industry is still in its nascent stages in India, we compare and contrast the climate of the gaming industry across geographies, break down what physiological aspects and latent human desires which makes certain games tick. It could be chasing emotions, status or making progress along with the opportunities that we are primed to capitalise based on the current landscape of the gaming industry.

Virtues required to build a business today seem to have become a cliché. What often gets lost in the cracks are the subtle nuances that actually make or break a business. The importance of risk-taking and the power of a contrarian mindset in running a successful venture requires far more than mere intellect. Founders of OYO, Mama Earth, and Rare Rabbit open up about what makes them tick, from the impact of their upbringing on their ambition to the drive towards financial independence. Their experiences remind us that the real ‘secret’ to building a successful business is learning from every challenge and opportunity one encounters We break down traits that seem to persist in high-performing individuals, not all of which come from a happy space. Financial insecurity and childhood traumas shape much of how we act and operate as adults. Watch this episode to learn about how when it is channeled the right way, it can prove to be the building blocks of the traits needed to build a successful business. ⁠ #Nikhilkamath⁠ Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter ⁠https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamat...⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio⁠

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have surged from 290 ppm in the 1870s to 421 ppm in 2022, exceeding the safe limit of 350 ppm and reaching the highest levels in millions of years.

Featuring insights from experts like Sunita Narain, Mirik Gogri, Bhumi Pednekar, and Navroz K Dubash, we explore the impacts of climate change and the implications of a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide levels, as well as the looming threat of a 3-degree temperature rise. We also discuss the opportunities and incentives for building low-carbon economies, the evident trend in energy transition, the importance of net-zero emissions, renewable energy, and much more.

We discuss this on both the macro and micro levels, covering everything from tackling climate anxiety to implementing policies at an intergovernmental level for climate change mitigation.
