From idea to IPO and beyond. What does it take to back a company for nearly two decades?There are no written rules to navigate one of the most important relationships in a startup. One between a founder and an investor.This episode is an inside look at how one of India's longest founder-investor relationships was built and tested, between Yashish Dahiya (Policybazaar) and Sanjeev Bikhchandani (Info Edge).In 2008, a ₹20 crore cheque was signed for 49 percent of the company, based solely on a powerpoint idea.What followed were regulatory challenges, shifting business models, new investors on-board, and moments of disagreement. But through 17 years, six funding rounds, and an IPO, they stayed aligned.These are two entrepreneurs who built their first ventures a decade apart; Sanjeev in 1997, Yashish in 2008 and have seen the Indian startup ecosystem evolve from the ground up.If you are building or funding startups this conversation will resonate with you for its honesty and give takeaways for your own journey.0:00 – Infoedge Ventures X Policybazaar1:08 – Sanjeev's first memories of Yashish before Policybazaar5:33 – Pitching of the Policybazaar idea 11:08 – How Info Edge almost didn't invest in Policybazaar15:56 – What shaped Yashish as Founder & Sanjeev as Investor25:14 – How the founder–investor bond evolved 27:08 – The Boardroom Dynamics at Policybazaar31:08 – Moments of Disagreement: ₹840 Cr raised, ₹700 Cr still in the bank34:38 – What makes an investor-founder relationship work?46:02 – What We've Learned after 17 years of building together49:03 – How India can build Long-term founder-investor bonds-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast! Today's guest is Dr. Amir Baluch, wealth strategist, private fund manager, and international best-selling author of Make It, Keep It. Dr. Baluch has helped professionals build lasting wealth through strategic passive investments, overseeing over $700M+ in projects through Baluch Capital. In this episode, we chat about… Dr. Amir Baluch's journey from aspiring doctor to semi-retired anesthesiologist and full-time wealth strategist, including early failures and lessons learned from losing his life savings in an electronic payments business and his father's bankruptcy. Why alternative investments are essential for real diversification and risk reduction The difference between real estate, private equity, and private credit and where they fit in your portfolio What it means to be a Limited Partner (LP) and why it's ideal for busy professionals Real-life tax advantages: depreciation, capital gains exemptions, opportunity zones, and more Key Takeaways: Diversification is Key: Don't put all your money into one asset class like the S&P Index, diversify across multiple uncorrelated asset classes to significantly reduce risk. Beyond Stocks: Explore alternative investments like real estate, private equity, and private credit for potentially higher returns, cash flow, and tax advantages not typically found in public markets. Understand Risk, Return, and Liquidity: Every investment has these three profiles, and while return and liquidity are easy to grasp, understanding and underwriting risk is crucial. Tax Efficiency Matters: Strategic investing can offer substantial tax benefits through depreciation, capital gains exclusions (like IRC 1202 for private equity), and other incentives. Investing is a Team Sport: Don't try to go it alone. Partner with experienced mentors and consider starting as a Limited Partner (LP) to learn the ropes and leverage expertise. Continuous Learning: Always be on the lookout for new asset classes and knowledge, never assume you know everything.

In today's episode:
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.Jet-Lagged in Kerala, may finally leave for home Jet-Lagged in Kerala, may finally leave for home A $115 million British F-35B stealth jet has been grounded at Thiruvananthapuram airport since June 14 after bad weather forced it to divert from the HMS Prince of Wales. While engineers work on repairs, the jet has turned into a social media sensation. Kerala Tourism joined the fun with a viral post: “Kerala is such an amazing place, I don't want to leave.” Cartoons have popped up showing the jet enjoying chai and snacks under palm trees. The UK Defence Ministry has dismissed rumors about dismantling and flying it back via cargo. The aircraft is expected to take off again as early as next week. Nipah Returns: Kerala on Guard Kerala is back on high alert after two confirmed cases of the deadly Nipah virus—one fatal. An 18-year-old girl from Malappuram died, while a 38-year-old woman from Palakkad is undergoing treatment. Nearly 500 people are on the contact list, with 29 in the highest-risk category. Despite this, no new cases have been reported, and containment zones in Malappuram have been lifted. A central health team is on the ground coordinating efforts. Nipah is a zoonotic virus with no vaccine, but Kerala's public health system has managed past outbreaks with early detection and isolation. Vedanta Called a ‘Parasite' in Explosive Report In a scathing 87-page report, US-based Viceroy Research accused Vedanta Resources Ltd (VRL) of draining its Indian arm, Vedanta Ltd (VEDL), through aggressive dividend extraction, shady internal loans, and dubious brand fees. The report calls VRL a “parasite” with no meaningful operations of its own, relying on the Mumbai-listed company to survive. It highlights over $8 billion in dividends paid by VEDL despite falling cash flows, unexplained interest costs, and $1 billion in suspect loans. Viceroy also flagged flashy project announcements with little follow-through, a revolving door of senior execs, and 107 legal disclosures since 2022—far more than peers like Tata Steel. The takeaway? A pattern of poor governance and financial engineering. Tax Relief for Green Investors The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) just received a big push from the finance ministry. Its bonds are now classified as ‘long-term specified assets' under Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act. Translation: investors can save capital gains tax by investing up to ₹50 lakh annually in these bonds. The proceeds will be used exclusively for revenue-generating renewable energy projects. IREDA chairman Pradip Kumar Das hailed the move as a “pivotal moment” for green finance. The company posted a strong Q4 profit rise but saw a dip in Q1 earnings. Nonetheless, its stock ended 2.26% higher. Glenmark's $700 Million Global Leap Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has struck gold with the biggest outlicensing deal in Indian pharma history. Its US-based unit, Ichnos Glenmark Innovation (IGI), has licensed a breakthrough blood cancer drug to AbbVie for $700 million upfront, with total potential payouts of $1.93 billion. The drug, ISB 2001, is a trispecific antibody targeting multiple myeloma—an aggressive blood cancer that resists conventional treatments. The therapy is still in early trials but has already received orphan and fast track designations from the FDA. Glenmark will retain rights in India and emerging markets, while AbbVie takes it global. “This puts India on the world map,” said Glenmark MD Glenn Saldanha. Learn more about your ad choices.

Infometrics' Principal Economist says the Government's not entirely ignoring the lack of budget funding allocated for lifting KiwiSaver employer contributions. The Greens say the Government hasn't accounted for the cost to public services, which could cost more than $700 hundred million. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says that's being worked on - and will be in next year's Budget. Brad Olsen says the hole wasn't costed, but hasn't been forgotten. "There is a cost - it will have to be met, but it's not being directly disclosed in the Budget figures." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Esplanade development project planned for the North Side is inching closer to fruition, but it could be 10 years before the multi-phase plan — including everything from a Ferris wheel to a marina — takes its final form in Chateau.

Federal tax incentives and a growing wind industry helped draw LS Greenlink's factory to America. The Trump administration has taken aim at both of them.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Amir Baluch, a semi-retired anesthesiologist and founder of Blue Capital Partners, about alternative investment strategies for healthcare providers. Dr. Baluch shares insights on creating passive income streams, the importance of diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds, and how strategic investments can "buy back time" for busy practitioners. While much of his financial advice offers valuable perspective for healthcare providers looking to reduce clinical hours and focus more on business development, we also provide important context regarding his comments on real estate investment and political policies that may contradict current research on housing affordability and economic impacts. Episode Highlights: The Power of Passive Income: How investing in alternative assets can create freedom in your schedule and reduce dependence on clinical hours Diversification Strategy: Why relying solely on traditional investments like stocks may not provide adequate returns in the coming decade Risk-Adjusted Returns: Understanding how to evaluate investments beyond just the stated return percentage Time vs. Money: Creating a strategic plan to gradually reduce clinical hours through passive income Marketing vs. Sales: The critical differences between creating awareness and converting leads Building a Sellable Practice: The importance of treating your practice like a business that could someday be sold Producer's Notes: Two topics discussed in this episode warrant additional context: Single-Family Home Investments: Institutional investor ownership of single-family homes has grown significantly, with just 32 institutional investors collectively owning 450,000 single-family homes by 2022. Research indicates non-individual investor ownership of single-family rentals increased from 17% in 2001 to 25% in 2021, with projections suggesting institutional investors could control 40% of U.S. single-family rental homes by 2030. This trend is contributing to the housing affordability crisis in many markets. Policy Impacts: Despite Dr. Baluch's enthusiasm about certain administration policies, current evidence suggests recent tariffs, immigration policies, and cuts to housing programs are adversely affecting housing affordability. Housing experts note that deportation plans could severely impact the construction industry, as immigrants make up approximately 30% of the construction labor force at a time when the National Association of Home Builders projects a need for 2.2 million new skilled construction workers.

Notable Quotes: "If you diversify across enough asset classes, you could reduce your risk by 80% and still get the same returns." - Dr. Amir Baluch "When people don't write it down on a piece of paper, it never happens. They throw money here and there and a couple of investments. But at the end of the year, okay, how much time did that buy you back?" - Dr. Amir Baluch "Just imagine every dollar bill you have is a little soldier. You just want to put it to work out there." - Dr. Amir Baluch "If you're not measuring it, it doesn't get managed." - Dr. Amir Baluch "I think that's the key. Take your time and energy so that you can work on the business instead of being in it all the time." - Host Bio: Dr. Amir Baluch is a Wall Street Journal and international bestselling author who retired from anesthesiology in his early 40s to focus on transforming wealth management for healthcare professionals. After experiencing his father's bankruptcy and personal setbacks in 2001, he developed alternative investment strategies that have since helped numerous medical professionals achieve financial independence. As founder of Blue Capital Partners, Dr. Baluch manages over $700M in projects, specializing in creating passive income through real estate, private equity, and private credit investments. His expertise has been featured on ABC News, Business Insider, and Forbes. He's dedicated to empowering 10,000 healthcare professionals to secure financial freedom through recession-proof investment opportunities that provide not just wealth accumulation but also tax reduction and lifestyle flexibility.

The $5 billion San Francisco Center Mall death spiral continues—yet another example of politicians refusing to face reality while businesses flee in droves. This video exposes how misguided "compassion" policies have transformed a once-thriving shopping destination into a half-empty ghost town, with nine new store closures just announced. While luxury retailers like Rolex, Coach, and Bloomingdale's pack their bags, Mayor Lurie unveils another predictably useless five-point plan that fails to address the root causes: rampant drug use, street crime, and mental illness plaguing downtown. And who pays for this spectacular policy failure? Taxpayers watching their property values plummet and city revenues collapse. Why do city officials keep implementing the same failed strategies while expecting different results? Subscribe for more unfiltered coverage of local government incompetence that mainstream media won't show you.
This week, the Geeks wade into a swamp of tech meltdowns, governmental facepalms, and the usual Elon-flavored absurdity. Kicking things off, protesters take their beef with Tesla to the streets while Proud Boys decide this is the hill to vroom and die on. Meanwhile, Elon's privacy prayers have finally been answered—thanks to new FAA rules, he and Tay-Tay can jet around untracked like it's 1999. Oh, and while Earth dodges a killer asteroid, the Moon might be signing up for an unplanned smackdown. Sorry, Luna.In the news, Signal's reputation as the go-to encrypted app takes a nosedive thanks to Republican Senate drama and an Inspector General with receipts. The NSA warned us. Nobody listened. Now it's “SignalGate” season. Elon continues his narcissist Voltron strategy by having xAI buy X (from Elon). Trump, meanwhile, is moonwalking into a $2.3B Truth Social payday, while his meme coin tanks post-tariff tantrum. OpenAI flexes with new AGI funding and 700M AI-generated images (probably 699M of them cursed), while the first therapy chatbot actually helps someone and a brain-voice interface starts sounding a lot like Skynet: The Prequel. Oh, and in shocking news: Trump's war on “information silos” is code for “your personal data is about to be someone else's business.”Media Candy serves up a grab bag from punk docs (Turn It Around) to jungle pulp throwbacks (Tales of the Gold Monkey), and yes—Stephen Collins is still problematic. Apple's prepping new AI-powered health apps, emoji drops, and a food tab for News+, because why not. WhatsApp now wants to be your phone, Alexa+ disappoints, and Zuckerberg tries to make Facebook usable again with a “Friends-only” feed. Meanwhile, Bill Gates pulls a nostalgia flex by dropping OG Microsoft source code like it's a rare vinyl. In other dark corners: Kermit the Frog is now giving commencement speeches, Val Kilmer sadly exits stage left, and Elon fails in his bid to buy a state supreme court. Hands off, Elon. Just… hands off.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Interview with Justin Reid, President & CEO of Troilus GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-binding-lois-change-everything-6626Recording date: 14th March 2025 Troilus Gold stands at an inflection point as it advances its flagship copper-gold project in Northern Quebec toward production. With a recently secured $700 million debt financing package and gold prices reaching $3,000 per ounce, the company represents a compelling investment opportunity in the precious metals sector. The Troilus project boasts impressive scale and economics, including a 22+ year mine life producing over 350,000 gold equivalent ounces annually, an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, and potential for $350 million in annual free cash flow.Troilus has systematically addressed key developmental risks, creating a clear pathway to production. With $700 million in debt secured with favorable terms, permitting in final review stages, and an experienced development team assembled, the company has positioned itself for success. Pre-construction activities include detailed engineering with BBA (engineers behind Detour and Malartic) and active site preparation including pit dewatering.Management has crafted a sophisticated financing approach that minimizes dilution while ensuring adequate funding. Using a 70-30 debt-to-equity structure on the $1 billion capital requirement, finalizing offtake agreements for concentrate sales, and strategically positioning to monetize a new royalty or stream for up to $400 million, Troilus has created multiple funding options beyond traditional equity raises.With a current market capitalization of approximately $165 million against an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, Troilus presents a compelling valuation opportunity. CEO Justin Reid draws comparisons to similar-stage peers that have seen significant revaluation upon financing completion. Several macroeconomic factors further enhance the investment case, including rising gold prices, global copper concentrate shortages, the expanding margins created by Canadian dollar weakness, and increasing focus on secure critical minerals supply chains.The next 12 months present several potential catalysts that could drive revaluation, including finalization of offtake agreements, completion of royalty/stream financing, financial close on the debt package, final permitting approvals, and ultimately a construction decision. As Troilus Gold transitions from developer to producer, investors have a rare opportunity to participate in a gold-copper project that combines scale, economics, jurisdictional advantages, and strategic relevance in today's commodity environment.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
Can you believe it? Even The New York Times: yep, that New York Times... published an investigation calling out Planned Parenthood’s shocking negligence and dark underbelly. In this episode of Trending, Timmerie chats with Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OB-GYN and VP at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, detailing this bombshell report. Major Red Flags Revealed: Botched Abortions: A woman in New York thought she had an abortion, only to give birth 12 weeks later to a baby who sadly passed away. She’s now suing. Horrific Malpractice: Misplaced IUDs, failed procedures, and even birth control implants causing nerve damage. Sickening Conditions: One clinic had a sewage leak so bad it made patients vomit. Neglected Patients: Positive STD results never passed on, leading to untreated infections. But... Where’s the Money Going? $700M in taxpayer money. $500M in private donations. $90M in COVID loans. Yet, clinics are underfunded, staff are poorly trained, and turnover rates hit 50% a year. The article makes it clear: Planned Parenthood isn’t about women's health; it’s about abortions and lobbying. What’s the Real Choice? Dr. Skop mentions that there are 3,000+ pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. offering free services: ultrasounds, counseling, material support, you name it. These centers are powered by people who actually care about women and their babies. Timmerie and Dr. Skop emphasize this: Planned Parenthood markets "choice," but real choice means support, love, and options, not pressure and pain. Bottom Line: Even the NYT couldn’t sweep this under the rug. It’s time we help shine more light on the truth and support real women’s healthcare that values both moms and their babies.
