In this telugu podcast episode, we explore the story of Y. Guruswamy Naidu, a seasoned entrepreneur who built Celkon, one of the largest mobile brands in India, and later reinvented it into a multi-vertical empire. The podcast begins by shedding light on Celkon's rise, its initial success, and the unexpected fall of many Indian mobile brands. Guruswamy Naidu reveals the truth behind the failure of over 110 Indian mobile companies, discussing how factors like LC rule changes, the Jio revolution, and GST disrupted the industry. Despite these challenges, Guruswamy's strategic vision allowed him to transform Celkon and navigate these rough waters, achieving ₹2600 Cr turnover in 2023—a feat that's both inspiring and instructive for aspiring entrepreneurs. A major highlight of the conversation is Guruswamy's bold ₹100 Cr land acquisition in Kokapet. This decision to enter real estate was part of a larger vision to diversify his business, and it exemplifies his ability to see opportunity where others might see risk. The discussion also touches on the current state of India's manufacturing sector, where Guruswamy provides an honest analysis of the obstacles faced by Indian manufacturers in competing with global giants, especially China. He emphasizes that while initiatives like Make in India have garnered attention, real structural changes are still needed for India to become a manufacturing powerhouse. Guruswamy also shares his perspective on the Product Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, offering insights on how India can compete with global players by improving infrastructure, policy support, and innovation. In addition to his expertise in manufacturing, Guruswamy delves into the mobile industry's evolution. He reflects on the rise and fall of Nokia, explaining how the brand's inability to adapt to changing market trends and the rapid shift to smartphones led to its decline. He compares this to his own decision to pivot from mobile manufacturing and diversify Celkon into various sectors, including technology, real estate, and government supplies. A key moment in the podcast is Guruswamy's candid admission about the challenges faced in the retail sector. He discusses the decline of mobile retailers, from a high of 12,000 stores to just 2,000 today, and how brands need to adapt to the new digital-first reality. He also shares his predictions on whether the future of retail will be driven more by online sales or offline presence, with insights drawn from his experiences in both domains. The conversation also touches on future trends in technology, with Guruswamy reflecting on mobile phone features, particularly the slow-down of phones with newer models. He offers his views on whether this is a deliberate move by manufacturers to encourage upgrades and whether the hype surrounding new phone models is actually just clever marketing rather than true innovation. He also talks about his experience at Daos, the future of electric vehicles (EVs) in India, and his thoughts on green hydrogen as a potential game-changer for the country's energy sector. When asked about India's potential to build companies like Apple, Guruswamy shares a balanced view, acknowledging the challenges but also pointing to the immense potential India holds in terms of talent, innovation, and market size. He emphasizes the importance of fostering innovation ecosystems, improving funding access, and leveraging India's strengths in sectors like software development and manufacturing. Finally, Guruswamy reflects on his business philosophy, sharing valuable lessons about delegation, the importance of focusing on the business, and managing time effectively. He believes in the power of delegation—embodying the 70% rule—allowing him to manage multiple ventures while maintaining growth and innovation. His story is a testament to the value of resilience, adaptability, and the importance of thinking long-term in business.

For many young professionals working night shifts or the “graveyard shift,” Dr. Reddy warns about the toll irregular eating schedules and unhealthy food choices take on the gut and overall health. He underscores the need to adopt sustainable eating habits that align with our body's natural rhythm. The conversation then transitions to a global health concern: obesity. For the first time in human history, more people are obese than undernourished, with nearly 38% of the world's population classified as obese. Dr. Reddy predicts that by 2035, half of the global population will fall into this category. He explains how body mass index (BMI) alone is insufficient to gauge health and stresses the importance of measuring body fat percentage and understanding fat distribution. In India, the misconception that a chubby child is a healthy child has contributed significantly to the growing obesity epidemic. Dr. Reddy discusses the dangers of overfeeding children and highlights the importance of instilling healthy eating habits during adolescence—a critical period for long-term health. Gut health becomes a central theme of the conversation as Dr. Reddy demystifies common yet often misunderstood topics. He explains why we burp, how spicy foods and substances like black pepper affect the gut lining, and why conditions like lactose intolerance are far more prevalent in India than many realize. Delving into a topic that is often avoided in polite conversation, Dr. Reddy shares insights on farting, explaining why some farts smell and others don't, and how flatulence is a normal and healthy bodily function. Perhaps one of the most eye-opening discussions revolves around stool and its significance as a marker of health. Dr. Reddy explains how the color, texture, and frequency of bowel movements can reveal much about a person's gut health. He highlights the importance of recognizing warning signs such as blood in the stool, which could point to serious conditions like colon cancer. Constipation, another common complaint, is discussed in depth. Dr. Reddy provides a nuanced perspective on its causes, ranging from diet to lifestyle, and even touches on conditions like fecal incontinence in women, which often manifest years after childbirth. The conversation takes a personal turn as Dr. Reddy shares stories from his career, including cases that moved him to tears and reaffirmed his commitment to medicine. He talks about the emotional and physical toll of being a healthcare professional and the importance of maintaining a work-life balance. His advocacy for organ donation is particularly poignant, as he highlights the lack of awareness in India and calls for systemic changes to make the process more accessible. This episode is more than a discussion—it's a call to action. Dr. Reddy urges listeners to question long-held beliefs, prioritize their health, and advocate for systemic changes in healthcare. His insights remind us that health is not just an individual responsibility but a collective effort to build a healthier society.

In this Telugu podcast, we discussed aspects of personal finance, societal expectations, and the ever-evolving relationship between money and happiness. The conversation begins with a critical look at the 100-crore FD, questioning whether it was a strategic move to deal with big financial sharks or simply a stroke of luck. This leads into a broader exploration of money's role in happiness. The treatment of men who aren't financially established in their youth is dissected, with examples from movies like Jersey and insights from Garikipati Venkata Rao, who challenges these rigid societal norms. The discussion uncovers how these external pressures influence men's mental health and self-worth. From here, we dive into the practical side of personal finance. The common mistakes Indians make with savings and investments are dissected, with a close look at volatile SIP returns and the concept of “too much money.” We emphasize the importance of being financially disciplined, starting with understanding the basics, like building a credit score and the significance of CIBIL. Many people don't realize how their spending habits, like paying off credit card bills, can influence their financial future. Next, we discuss the polarizing topic of credit cards: Are they a burden or a useful tool? We explore how credit card companies generate revenue and why they push for EMI options. We also highlight the potential dangers of fast loans and rapid credit card usage, explaining how they can lead to financial instability if not managed properly. The conversation touches on the ways credit institutions extract money from consumers and why one should approach these financial tools with caution. A significant portion of the episode addresses the collapse of Yes Bank, using the crisis to highlight the importance of choosing a bank with a strong reputation. We explain the role of FD's, DICGC insurance, and the importance of maintaining stable financial practices. The episode goes on to provide insights into how banks function, how they make money, and how they impact individuals. We also delve into the concept of stable money, breaking down how inflation affects our savings and why investing in things like gold, which is a major asset in Indian households, can be both advantageous and limiting. As we move further into the podcast, we discuss why financial literacy is so crucial, especially in India, where money matters are rarely discussed openly within families. The lack of financial education can lead to poor decision-making, as evidenced by the rise in unclaimed deposits in Indian banks. The conversation here emphasizes the need for greater awareness of financial topics and the importance of teaching children about money from a young age. The podcast also touches on the dangers posed by influencers promoting gambling apps to young, impressionable audiences. With the rise of such deceptive advertising, we explore how these influencers contribute to risky financial behavior, especially among younger generations. The discussion closes with some lighthearted yet important rapid-fire questions on financial literacy, offering the best and worst advice the hosts have ever received, as well as insights into their own financial journeys. The episode ends with a compelling reminder about the value of time—how investing in skills and personal growth can yield greater returns than the fleeting satisfaction of consumerism. Throughout this insightful conversation, we dissect complex financial topics in a way that is accessible and engaging. Whether you're new to the world of finance or looking to refine your existing strategies, this episode provides valuable lessons on managing money, understanding economic forces, and making smarter financial decisions. It's a comprehensive guide to navigating the modern financial landscape and securing a stable, prosperous future.

In this telugu podcast episode, Dr. Pavan Mamidi delves into the fascinating and thought-provoking concept of Death Economics, an area of study that examines the livelihoods tied to death, particularly in the context of Varanasi's iconic Manikarnika Ghat. This ghat, a central location for cremations in the city, serves as a platform for understanding how death becomes a part of the local economy. Dr. Mamidi shares his unique experiences conducting seminars on Death Economics at this revered site, providing a rare perspective on how livelihoods and death intertwine, particularly within the Dom community, the caste historically tasked with cremation duties. Through these discussions, Dr. Mamidi explains how such a community has managed to develop sustainable livelihoods from death rituals, despite societal challenges and opposition. One of the more profound themes discussed in this episode is the general societal reluctance to talk about or even think about death. This avoidance, Dr. Mamidi argues, can lead to a disconnect with the natural process of life. By exploring the practices at Manikarnika Ghat, he provides an eye-opening look at how death is normalized in this community. He shares that many cremations occur here daily, but this becomes almost a routine, something the people have learned to cope with over generations. Dr. Mamidi also reveals his personal experience of living among the Dom community and reflects on the cultural ignorance surrounding death in broader society. He discusses how this ignorance has significant consequences, including the common reluctance to write wills, which often causes additional complications for families when someone passes away. The podcast also clarifies the difference between Kashi and Varanasi, often misunderstood terms that refer to different aspects of this ancient city. While Varanasi is the bustling, sacred hub of life and death, Kashi is often considered the spiritual essence of the city, transcending the physical world. This distinction forms the foundation for discussions on the economy of death, touching on stories like that of the abandoned woman who highlights the intersection between poverty, gender, and death. One particularly fascinating part of the episode dives into the rituals that are central to Indian society. Dr. Mamidi shares how many rituals originate as coping mechanisms for life's uncertainties, and how an intercaste wedding led to the rise of a particular ritual. He delves into the psychological underpinnings of why people pray, often only when they need something, and offers his personal perspective on karma and God. The final section of the podcast delves into Dr. Mamidi's professional journey as a behavioral scientist, highlighting his work in policy making and nudge theory. His experiences with social campaigns such as the Mask Campaign, tackling toxic masculinity, and working on policies for child nutrition are shared in great detail. Dr. Mamidi examines how small behavioral changes can have a huge impact on societal norms, citing numerous examples such as the Swacch Bharat campaign, the Pepsi case study, and the Ketchup example. In the end, the podcast encourages listeners to think critically about social norms, and the impact of media on behavior change. Dr. Mamidi also reflects on the importance of recognizing loss aversion, and how it shapes our decisions. Ultimately, he challenges listeners to reconsider their views on life, death, and the rituals that shape our culture.

He shares numerous examples of patients who have benefited from combining the strengths of both systems, highlighting how a personalized approach can lead to better overall health outcomes.

This episode of Raw Talks with VK is one of the most personal and meaningful conversations I've ever had. Sitting across from me is a guest unlike any other—a woman who has shaped my life in countless ways, my mom, Manjula Kurapati. This isn't just an interview; it's a heartfelt dive into the bond between a mother and her child, filled with honesty, laughter, and deep reflections. Mothers are the silent architects of who we become. They lead by example, often without recognition or applause, pouring their love and sacrifices into the foundation of our lives. My mom is no exception. Her story is not only a testament to her strength and resilience but also a celebration of motherhood itself. This episode is my way of saying thank you to her and to all the mothers who give so much without expecting anything in return. We talked about the values she instilled in me from a young age—discipline, empathy, and self-discipline—which have become guiding principles in my life. My mom has always led by example, teaching me not through words but through actions. Her loving nature has inspired me to create a work environment where my team feels valued and supported. It's a quality I've tried to emulate in every aspect of my life, and I owe it all to her. This episode isn't just about parenting; it's about the sacrifices that mothers make for their children. My mom shared stories from her own life that I hadn't heard before, including the challenges she faced growing up in a joint family and the sacrifices she made for our family's happiness. Her tales of resilience and selflessness are a reminder of the silent strength that mothers embody every day. We also reflected on the evolving dynamics between parents and children in today's fast-paced world. The bond my mom and I share has grown over the years, transitioning from a traditional parent-child relationship to one based on mutual respect and open communication.

Through this conversation, I realized how much I've taken her support and love for granted. It was a humbling experience to hear her talk about the sacrifices she's made and the dreams she put aside for the sake of our family.

These are the questions that this episode hopes to inspire. This conversation with my mom is one of the most special I've ever had, and I'm so excited to share it with all of you. It's a reminder of the importance of family, the power of love, and the beauty of simple, honest conversations. Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Raw Talks, we dive deep into the remarkable journey of Prasad Chalavadi, the visionary behind Kalamandir. Known for transforming the saree retail industry, Mr. Chalavadi shares his story, starting from his earliest days as an entrepreneur in a pre-digital world. Long before the internet and modern resources, he developed a passion for sarees, gathering insights and developing a vision from the ground up. His journey took shape as he left a promising stockbroking career in Dubai to pursue his dream back in India, a path marked by resilience and self-belief. Through stories of personal sacrifice and immense dedication, Mr. Chalavadi's narrative highlights the unique challenges and moments that defined Kalamandir's rise. A key theme throughout this episode is Mr. Chalavadi's drive to succeed without the backing of a prominent family name. He recounts the early days of starting Kalamandir alongside friends from Vijayawada, eventually branching out independently and launching his first showroom in Ameerpet with a modest team of 50 employees. His unique vision went beyond selling sarees; he understood that a powerful business must rely on more than just numbers—it needed a “science” of connecting with customers. This insight inspired Kalamandir to become the first Indian fashion retail brand to operate on a fully indigenous software platform. Valued at 8 crore, this software gave Kalamandir a cutting-edge advantage, analyzing customer preferences and driving each decision. For Mr. Chalavadi, innovation was more than just technology; it was a tool to build connections and deliver unforgettable customer experiences. A significant part of Kalamandir's appeal lies in its ability to evoke tradition and cultural pride. Mr. Chalavadi shares his passion for bringing India's heritage to life in each showroom. He describes how the store architecture and decor—including floor seating, temple-inspired interiors, and the presence of a divine idol—help create a sense of devotion and pride among customers. This experience is not just about shopping for sarees; it's about immersing in a cultural ritual. It's clear that for Mr. Chalavadi, business isn't just about selling; it's about creating spaces that allow customers to connect with their roots. Mr. Chalavadi's commitment to culture is also evident in his views on sarees and their role in Indian society. He reflects on the emotional value sarees hold for Indian women, emphasizing that each saree is more than a garment—it's a piece of heritage. Despite evolving fashion trends, he sees sarees as central to India's identity and is passionate about keeping this tradition alive for future generations. His perspective offers a refreshing take on how heritage and modern retail can coexist, fostering pride in India's sartorial legacy. For aspiring entrepreneurs, Mr. Chalavadi provides practical advice for entering the saree business with limited capital. He outlines a roadmap for building a brand within a competitive industry, stressing patience, strategic investment, and a deep understanding of market dynamics. This advice resonates beyond business; it's a lesson in resilience and adapting to changing circumstances. Throughout the episode, Mr. Chalavadi reveals a personal side, sharing humorous and sentimental anecdotes about family, relationships, and cultural identity. With moments of laughter and reflection, he describes his family as his strength, providing a candid glimpse into the man behind the business. Whether recalling his wife's first saree purchase or the lighter moments of family life, these stories bring warmth and relatability to his inspiring journey.

Known for his deep-rooted faith and savvy business acumen, Krishna garu takes us through the inspiring story of how Ambica Agarbatti grew from humble beginnings into a symbol of trust and devotion for millions. Starting with the brand's foundation in the late 1960s, Krishna garu reflects on the legacy his father built. Driven by the motto "Bhagavanthundiki Bhakti Ki," which translates to "Devotion to God," Ambica Agarbatti set out to embody purity and spirituality in every product. Running a family business of this scale comes with its own set of challenges, and Krishna garu shares the unique dynamics of managing a large joint family business that spans across 30 family members and employs over 2,500 people. He reveals how he maintains a close bond with long-term employees, some of whom have worked with Ambica Agarbatti for more than 15 years, fostering a culture that intertwines family values with corporate principles. Krishna garu firmly believes that faith and fate play integral roles in the journey of Ambica, a sentiment that he holds deeply as he continues his father's legacy. Despite a growing wave of atheism and a societal shift away from traditional practices, Krishna garu reflects on how Ambica Agarbatti has adapted. He observes that people, particularly the younger generation, no longer follow the traditional practice of visiting temples; instead, their approach to spirituality has transformed. While some see this shift as a challenge, Krishna garu views it as an opportunity to preserve and present the spiritual values embedded in Ambica Agarbatti's products to a new audience. The marketing legacy of Ambica Agarbatti is as unique as its inception. Krishna garu shares memories of how his father began with Doordarshan ads and created taglines like "Ammakam Ante Nammakam" (Faith Means Trust), which resonated deeply with the Indian audience.

He recounts the days when their humble van roamed the streets, drawing in curious onlookers and slowly building brand recognition one stop at a time. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a traditionalist at heart, or simply interested in the spirit behind Ambica Agarbatti, this conversation is filled with insights and inspiration.

In this telugu podcast with Shobu Garu, the mastermind behind *Baahubali* and co-founder of Arka Media, we dive deep into the complex world of TV serials, movie production, and the rise of OTT platforms. Drawing from his vast experience, Shobu Garu offers invaluable lessons on understanding audience behavior, managing production challenges, and making strategic investments. This conversation unveils the realities of working in the entertainment industry while also providing a glimpse into the nuances of startup investments. Shobu Garu begins by shedding light on the TV serial industry, explaining how producers capture and retain audience interest. He elaborates on how they monitor market trends, determine which characters are resonating with viewers, and adjust scripts based on TRP (Television Rating Points). He mentions that TRP, tracked by multinational agencies, is crucial for channels to assess a show's success. While TV remains a passive medium, Shobu Garu explores the possibility of responsive, interactive shows becoming popular in the future, though he notes that audiences are still comfortable with conventional passive storytelling for now. The conversation takes a deeper dive into the making of *Baahubali*. Shobu Garu recalls how the film initially received negative reviews on the first day, but the perception gradually shifted as more people watched it. He explains that fan-based audiences come with specific expectations, which can lead to early criticism. However, the involvement of Karan Johar in promoting *Baahubali* across North India played a pivotal role in establishing its pan-India appeal. Reflecting on a past project, *Eega*, Shobu Garu points out that while it struggled in Hindi theaters, it performed exceptionally well on TV, showing how different platforms affect audience reception. Budget management is another key aspect that Shobu Garu touches upon. With over 5,000 people working on the *Baahubali* crew, controlling costs was a daunting task. Despite the challenges, the team decided to increase the budget for the sequel to meet public expectations. Shobu Garu emphasizes that a bold vision sometimes requires financial flexibility. He also explains how the team resolved disagreements over budget decisions, ensuring the creative vision remained intact. The discussion then shifts to the complexities of large-scale movie releases. Releasing *Baahubali* across 8,000 screens was a groundbreaking move, and Shobu Garu provides insights into the logistics involved, including managing regional taxes and distribution strategies. He explains how postponing the sequel's release was a strategic decision that allowed the hype to build, ultimately contributing to the film's massive success. Beyond filmmaking, Shobu Garu delves into his investment strategies. He shares his approach to startup investments, explaining that he evaluates businesses across different stages—seed funding, pre-evaluation, and post-launch. Media-based startups, he believes, hold significant potential, and if given ₹1 crore, Shobu Garu mentions he would likely invest in a media venture. He also discusses the qualities he looks for in founders, valuing passion, adaptability, and long-term commitment over age or experience. Towards the end of the conversation, Shobu Garu offers practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. He cautions against blindly following trends without understanding the depth of a business. Success, he says, requires consistency, persistence, and a genuine passion for the craft. Shobu Garu warns that constantly shifting focus can be a red flag, and instead, one should work steadily toward achieving well-defined goals. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a media enthusiast, or someone interested in startups, Shobu Garu's insights offer practical knowledge and inspiration.

In this powerful and historically rich podcast episode, we dive deep into the untold stories of Hyderabad's past, featuring the iconic Pasham Yadagiri Sir. Known for his extensive knowledge of the region's history and his fearless critiques of modern society, Yadagiri Sir sheds light on many hidden aspects of Hyderabad, the Nizams, and their rule. We begin by revisiting the famous “Bandi Venaka Bandi” song, which leads us into a detailed discussion about Hyderabad's Nizam era, particularly what transpired on September 17th. This was a turning point for many, especially for farmers and certain communities like the Brahmins and Padmashalis, who faced brutal killings. Yadagiri Sir unpacks the complexities of the British taxation system and how the Nizams acted as allies to the British crown. He touches on significant events such as the hanging of 1,000 Gonds in Nirmal and emphasizes the need for a 'mosaic vision' to truly understand the British rule in India. We explore how the Nizams first came to power in India and whether there is any confusion between the Nizam army and the notorious Razakars. Yadagiri Sir breaks down the difference between the regular and irregular armies, drawing parallels to contemporary cases like Disha and Nayeem, showing the long-lasting impact of these historical systems on today's society. We discuss infamous cases such as Belle Lalitha's death and the mysterious ways in which these deaths are often brushed under the rug. Yadagiri Sir raises concerns over critical thought in journalism and why cases like Nayeem's death were never properly filed. The conversation also takes a turn towards Operation Polo, the military action that led to Hyderabad's annexation into India. Yadagiri Sir speaks passionately about the massacre that occurred afterward, often referred to as the second Jallianwala Bagh, and the forgotten figures like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Chaakali Ellamma who played crucial roles during this period. He shares insights into the once-wealthy regions of Hyderabad, such as Vagul and Adilabad, which were richer than Kashmir. Yadagiri Sir also discusses how the oppressive 'Dhora' taxation system and violent events like the Puligiri massacre shaped Telangana's fight for survival. The podcast delves into intriguing questions about Belle Lalitha's death and its connection to Nayeem, exploring the larger political context that led to her tragic end. From the closure of all CBM factories, including Asia's largest sugar factory, to the Charminar cigarette industry, Yadagiri Sir points out how these economic collapses affected common people. He argues that certain political parties, like TRS, TDP, and BJP, have ultimately put an end to the vision of Graama Swaraj, leaving us in a cryptocracy rather than a democracy. Moving on to caste dynamics, Yadagiri Sir explains the historical origin of caste titles like Reddy and Choudary, clarifying that these were originally professions rather than social hierarchies. In the case of Reddys, they were land contractors, while Choudary referred to tax collectors. With his trademark candor, Yadagiri Sir also delves into human evolution and how the rise of industrial economies disrupted natural societal progress. With the rise of social media, Yadagiri Sir ponders whether YouTube could become the next mainstream platform for journalism. Citing the example of Dhruv Rathee, who has reportedly influenced up to 20% of voters, he discusses how mobile phones have become the new 'AK47s' in the hands of the people, reshaping political discourse and the flow of information. Finally, Yadagiri Sir shares his thoughts on the Emergency of June 25th, 1975, revealing the harsh conditions of the time, including mass sterilization and the draconian actions of Sanjay Gandhi. In a thought-provoking discussion, he touches on the long-term changes to India's Constitution and the rise of systems like HYDRA that continue to influence the nation today.

In this podcast episode, we explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of psychiatry, mental health, and brain function, with our esteemed guest, Dr. Virinchi Sharma, a renowned psychiatrist and Director of Manasa Psychiatric Hospital in Hyderabad. Dr. Sharma's extensive experience as a consultant psychiatrist at institutions like BITS Pilani and Sleep Therapeutics, combined with his role as an Associate Professor and TEDx speaker, allows him to bring a wealth of knowledge to this conversation. With a background that includes speaking at over 1,000 television debates and delivering keynote addresses at prestigious conferences, Dr. Sharma is exceptionally equipped to guide us through some of the most pressing mental health issues of our time. We begin by delving into the world of psychiatric hospitals, a subject that often sparks curiosity but is widely misunderstood. Dr. Sharma explains the key differences between outpatient and inpatient psychiatric care. Outpatient services, he notes, provide therapeutic consultation and treatment without requiring a patient to stay overnight, whereas inpatient facilities offer more intensive, 24-hour care for individuals needing close monitoring and treatment. He emphasizes the need for mental health treatment to be normalized and explains when inpatient care is necessary for conditions like severe depression, schizophrenia, or when someone is at risk of self-harm. The conversation then moves into the importance of language in psychiatry. Dr. Sharma highlights how the words used during consultations can either create a safe, supportive environment or alienate a patient. He talks about the importance of being mindful, avoiding terms that may seem judgmental or stigmatizing, and the role that compassionate communication plays in mental health care. He also touches on a common question—whether everyone needs a psychologist. According to Dr. Sharma, while not everyone requires continuous psychological care, we could all benefit from a mental health check-up, just like we do with physical health. He stresses the importance of seeing mental health support as preventive care rather than a last resort. One of the most striking parts of our discussion revolves around technology addiction, a modern-day epidemic. Dr. Sharma provides insights into why so many people are glued to their phones and screens, describing it as a symptom of a deeper neurological issue. He explains how the human brain, particularly the "monkey brain" that deals with impulse control, struggles to adapt to the overwhelming stimuli of today's digital world. He references studies that suggest over-reliance on gadgets may even be shrinking certain parts of our brains, particularly those responsible for attention and impulse regulation. This leads to an exploration of our increasing need for dopamine—our brain's reward chemical. Dr. Sharma breaks down why we're constantly seeking multiple sources of stimulation, such as binge-watching shows while scrolling through social media. He explains how our dopamine system, designed to reward healthy behaviors, is being hijacked by fast-paced digital experiences, leading to an addiction-like cycle of craving and dissatisfaction. A relatable example is given through Dr. Sharma's analysis of VK's experience, where working non-stop for 15 days led to extreme boredom on a rest day. This, according to Dr. Sharma, can be attributed to excessive dopamine spikes that make periods of downtime feel unfulfilling. Wrapping up the episode, Dr. Sharma leaves us with valuable takeaways on how to protect our brains, manage our mental health, and stay resilient in the face of modern-day challenges. From stress management to understanding how dopamine shapes our behavior, this podcast is a comprehensive exploration of the mind, brought to life by the expertise and wisdom of Dr. Virinchi Sharma.

In this episode of Raw Talks, we dive deep into the fascinating journey of Rohit Chennamaneni, the co-founder and CEO of Darwinbox, a billion-dollar company transforming the way businesses manage their human resources. Rohit's path to success is nothing short of inspiring. It's a story that begins with his time at McKinsey, where he discovered the importance of surrounding yourself with the best talent. McKinsey's secret to producing so many successful entrepreneurs like Rohit? They only hire the best, those who aren't just academically excellent but also bring unique perspectives beyond textbooks. According to Rohit, while McKinsey teaches you to break down complex problems into simple, actionable steps, the art of influencing or convincing people wasn't something learned in training—it came from his experiences outside the firm. Rohit opens up about the origins of Darwinbox, how the HR function in India is fundamentally different from the rest of the world, and why this disparity led him and his co-founders to create a tool that caters specifically to these unique needs. His perspective on whether an HR tool is necessary is clear: it's a must in today's business environment. But it wasn't always easy. He shares the challenges of closing their first sale, the internal discussions, the late nights, and the pressure of competition. Yet, in those early stages, the market was less crowded, which allowed Darwinbox to establish itself as a frontrunner in HR tech. A key part of Darwinbox's culture, Rohit says, is deeply influenced by his background in sports. He believes that sports teach you there will always be someone better than you, and this mindset drives a culture of constant improvement and resilience within the company. The win-lose strategy from the sports field translates well into business, where each failure is an opportunity to learn, grow, and refine your approach. Rohit's leadership has taken Darwinbox to over 12 countries, a journey that is far from over. But what about the challenges of scaling globally? Rohit discusses the complexities of expanding internationally, the IPO landscape in India, and how Darwinbox is leveraging AI in product development to stay ahead of the curve. One of the most interesting parts of our conversation is Rohit's take on the future of work. He talks about the current state of hiring and firing in organizations and offers advice to young professionals on which sectors they should consider as they plan their careers. Drawing from his extensive experience, Rohit sheds light on the shifting dynamics in the job market and how businesses are navigating the challenges of cost-cutting while still trying to innovate. In a candid moment, Rohit reflects on how not knowing everything has actually been a huge advantage. He believes that having too much information can sometimes make you overly cautious, preventing you from taking the necessary risks to achieve success. This philosophy ties back to his love for the Ramayana and Mahabharata, which, according to him, offer valuable lessons on embracing the grey areas in life and business. Sales, often seen as a mundane or downgraded job, is another topic Rohit is passionate about. He believes sales is one of the most critical functions in any business and should be seen as a valuable career path. In his own words, it's time we reframe how we think about sales—it's not just about door-to-door selling, but about relationship-building and creating value. The episode wraps up with a look at the global vision for Darwinbox. Rohit is determined to build not just a successful company, but a world-class brand that puts India on the global map. His love for Hyderabad and commitment to creating something meaningful from India for the world is a testament to his passion and dedication.
