India has long been a tea-drinking nation, but in recent years, a new wave of craft beverage brands has started reshaping the way the country drinks. Specialty coffee, kombucha, and premium mixers are carving out space in an industry dominated by mass-produced options. While the demand for high-quality, homegrown beverages is growing, breaking into this space isn't as easy as it looks. Import duties drive up costs, fragmented supply chains make scaling difficult, and price-sensitive consumers often hesitate to pay a premium. Unlike mass-market beverages, where marketing muscle can drive sales, craft brands have to build awareness, educate consumers, and create demand from scratch. In episode #22 of “WTF Is” Podcast, Nikhil Kamath sits down with some of the biggest names in India's craft beverage industry—Rahul Reddy (Subko), Matt Chitharanjan (Blue Tokai), Aneesh Bhasin (Svami), and Adithya Kidambi (Mossant). They share their journey of navigating regulations, shifting consumer habits, and competing with legacy brands to bring high-quality, locally made beverages to the mainstream.

Could a tyrant lurk within the recesses of your own mind? Prepare for a philosophical odyssey that explores the descent from democracy to tyranny of the soul. As your guides, Eddie and Aneesh navigate the intricate passages of Plato's Republic, where Socrates himself wrestles with the shadows of unnecessary pleasures and the dark, lawless drives that threaten to unseat reason. This episode dissects the generational metamorphosis from the oligarchic individual to the democratic and finally, the tyrannical person, revealing how societal and familial pressures sculpt our inner despots. Together, we unravel the emergence of tyranny within, pitting it against the virtue and reasoned control exemplified by the philosophical king.Imagine living under the dominion of your basest desires, a life devoid of true contentment. That's the stark reality of the tyrannical soul, a theme we dissect as we traverse the murky relationship between forms of governance and individual character. We juxtapose the chaotic inner world of a tyrant with the ordered existence of the philosopher-king, diving into the Socratic response to justice and the intricate nature of dream states. By drawing parallels to the Buddhist concept of Maya, we invite you to question the illusion of control and the nature of happiness, stirring a philosophical banquet that satisfies the most curious of intellects.Join us as we ponder the hierarchy of pleasures and the pursuit of happiness, challenging the notion that sensory delights offer the summit of human joy. Instead, we propose that the true peak lies in the realm of rational thought and learning. We pause at the precipice of a profound conclusion, setting the stage for a future episode that promises to unveil the life of the philosopher king in comparison to that of a tyrant. Embark on this insightful journey with us into the philosophy of governance, self-governance, and the essence of what it means to be truly human.
Could the very freedoms we cherish in democracy unwittingly lead us into the hands of tyranny? In this episode Eddie and Aneesh traverse the philosophical landscape of Socratic thought, unraveling the complex threads between unbridled freedom and the rise of tyrannical power. We dissect the democratic allure of liberty and how it can, ironically, enslave us to our basest desires. This is a thought-provoking examination of the transformation from democracy to tyranny, spotlighting the vital role of civic education and the perils of demagoguery in this precarious shift.As we navigate the intricate relationship between personal desires and societal structures, the ensuing discussion scrutinizes the dichotomy of democratic participation and the health of the individual psyche. We scrutinize the consequences of a democracy that fails to educate its populace, allowing influencers and pundits to shape public opinion unchecked, potentially paving the way for a tyrannical usurper. This examination leads us to question the practicality of education in molding well-rounded citizens and the wisdom behind the checks and balances system, drawing parallels between the individual's quest for internal harmony and the structural integrity of a just society.Finally, we confront the psychological depths of the tyrannical mind, pondering the innate human nature that seeks honor, wealth, freedom, or power. The episode wraps up with an introspective look at the progression of intellectual maturity and the imperative of dialectic conversations in the pursuit of truth. We leave you with an uplifting reminder: democracy, with all its complexities, offers the means to correct our missteps and progress toward a more enlightened governance. This deep dive into the philosophies of Socrates and Plato is not just an exploration of political systems but a reflection on our collective journey towards intellectual and moral maturity.
Could your cherished democratic freedoms be the very seeds that grow a tyrannical overlord? We pull back the curtain on Socrates' view of political evolution, dissecting the paradoxical journey from democracy to tyranny. Amidst the hustle of personal freedoms, we often neglect the virtues that safeguard our society, inadvertently paving the way for despots. In this episode, Eddie and Aneesh describe the bustling 'supermarket of constitutions' that is democracy, and the vulnerabilities it harbors. Listen to the Socratic description of democracy's ironic downfall, where an excess of choice and the relentless pursuit of wealth foster conditions ripe for a tyrant's rise.Our compelling narrative doesn't just stop at the societal level; it dives into the human psyche. We explore the transformation of the oligarch's son, torn between the rational discipline of his upbringing and the appetites stoked by democratic society. It's a tale of internal struggle mirroring the external chaos, where the balance between individual pleasure and communal responsibility teeters precariously. Our conversation doesn't shy away from asking tough questions, challenging listeners to reflect on their own values and the potential consequences for the collective.Lastly, we pose a philosophical quandary that has puzzled great minds for ages: is it better to live a simple life of contented ignorance or to wrestle with the complexities of self-awareness? As we ponder the individual's place in a democracy, the specter of tyranny emerges, warning of the dangers when personal gain overshadows common good. Join us on this winding path of philosophy, where examination of your own convictions might be the compass needed to navigate the stormy seas of democracy's future.Addendum: This is an AI generated summary of an all too human conversation!

Welcome back to Episode 39 of First Principles!A few weeks ago, you heard the first part of our conversation with Aneesh Reddy, the CEO and Co-Founder of Capillary Tech, a software company offering products and services in the customer experience space.And you might remember that in that episode, Aneesh took us through the journey of Capillary in instalments – because as he explained, Aneesh dreams in instalments. The second instalment was the years 2013 to 2018 – which Aneesh called “Capillary's confusing years.” They were particularly difficult years for them. Having raised a massive amount of venture funding at an expensive valuation, Capillary started burning cash as they expanded ambitiously beyond India. The leadership had to justify their valuation, Aneesh said. During this time, Aneesh's co-founder Krishna Mehra, or KK, had moved to San Francisco in the US. Communication between the co-founders started breaking down even as the pressure on Capillary Tech started mounting.Eventually, both of Aneesh's co-founders left within months of each other. But before leaving, KK was upfront with Aneesh. He told Aneesh that he had become a bully. He wasn't workable anymore.Aneesh went to the Capillary board and told them he wanted to quit. In this second part, you'll hear the two things that Aneesh ended up doing to bounce back. The first was executive coaching. A difficult process, because Aneesh, in his own words, ‘was a hard nut to crack.' Eventually, the coaching process proved to be so transformative for Aneesh, that Capillary today offers coaching to not just its entire leadership team but also down to first-time managers. The second, very interestingly, was Vipassana. And again, as Aneesh explained, it was very difficult at first. But it changed him. He calls it a process of self-discovery and self-purification that every entrepreneur should experience.In this episode, Aneesh talks to me about how these two interventions transformed him and Capillary. He takes me through both processes – day by day, in the case of Vipassana — and how it made a difference to his temperament, leadership style, and his approach to managing.We also talk about Aneesh's fitness journey, finding a purpose in working, and the future of Capillary. This is episode 39 of First Principles—The Ken's weekly leadership podcast.
