In this heartfelt conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Shabana Safdari, yoga therapist, teacher, and founder of Yoga with Shabana, based in Bangalore, India. Shabana's journey into yoga began with a deeply personal health scare when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Faced with anxiety and fear, she turned to yoga—first for her own healing, and eventually as a lifelong path of service.Shabana shares:How a health crisis transformed her relationship with her body and inspired her to take charge of her wellbeing.Her experience of nesophobia (fear of illness) and how yoga helped her move from anxiety to resilience.The life-changing impact of yoga therapy on her vertigo, and why she committed to making it her profession.The importance of intention in yoga practice and teaching, and how acts of kindness are integral to true healing.Her philosophy of simple, sattvic living—fresh food, fresh breath, and fresh thoughts—as the foundation of wellness.The role of prāṇāyāma as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science, and why she believes it is the most powerful tool for transformation.How she combines yoga therapy, prāṇāyāma, and sound healing in her signature Rest Reset Method to help clients manage stress, recover from burnout, and rediscover joy.Throughout the episode, Shabana emphasizes that yoga is not just postures—it is a holistic system of mindset, lifestyle, compassion, and self-regulation. Her clarity, kindness, and lived wisdom shine through, offering listeners a reminder that true yoga begins with simplicity and intention.Connect with Shabana: Find her on LinkedIn at Shabana Safdari (search Yoga with Shabana).

Vänner, bekanta eller totala främlingar. Resesällskap kan skifta, men hur vi betraktar dem kan förändra hela resandets natur, menar Henrik Nilsson. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Likt solrosor som vänder sig mot ljuset står resenärerna med sträckta huvuden under skärmen på flygplatsen. Blicken letar efter rätt avgång, och sedan försvinner vi åt olika håll. Om jag har en stund över går jag inte direkt till gaten, utan slår mig istället ned bland människor som väntar på ett helt annat flyg. Där njuter jag av att befinna mig i början av en resa som aldrig kommer att göras, på ett sätt som påminner om när jag var barn och drömde mig bort till avlägsna länder. Det händer att jag letar jag upp avgången till en stad som spelat en särskild roll i livet, som Lissabon eller Bukarest. Andra gånger väljer jag istället en destination som är helt okänd för mig. Ibland tar jag då fiktionen ett steg längre, och börjar småprata med någon intill mig om platsen dit jag egentligen inte ska: Har du hört hur vädret är i Tirana? Det ska bli skönt att komma tillbaka till Marseille!Innan förklädnaden faller återvänder jag till mitt riktiga liv. Men det korta mötet dröjer kvar, och väcker tankar om samtal och sällskap längs vägen. Att resa ensam eller tillsammans – det är ett av de första besluten som måste tas innan man ger sig av. Med ett resesällskap kan man dela intryck och skapa minnen att gemensamt återkomma till efter hemkomsten. När man reser på egen hand för man istället en dialog med sig själv; lägger ibland märke till andra saker, hamnar kanske i samspråk med andra människor.För det finns också en annan sorts resesällskap – människorna som man träffar under färdens gång. Dessa sammanträffanden kan vara korta och till synes oansenliga, men påminner om Hjalmars Gullbergs rader: ”Om i ödslig skog ångest dig betog, / kunde ett flyktigt möte vara befrielse nog … Byta ett ord eller två / gjorde det lätt att gå.” I andra änden av spektrumet finns bekantskaperna som förändrar livets gång, kanske början på en lång vänskap eller kärlek. Efteråt återkommer vi då till slumpens roll. Tänk om vi inte hade hamnat i samma tågkupé, eller fått bord långt ifrån varandra på restaurangen?Med tiden har möten och samtal under resans gång kommit att bli minst lika viktiga för mig som berömda katedraler och museer – just eftersom de inte kan förutses och inte står med i några guideböcker. Frågan är om man inte kan se sådana oväntade bekantskaper som de sista vita fläckarna i en värld som redan har kartlagts i minsta detalj.En som förstod värdet av tillfälliga resesällskap var Franz Kafka. I dagboken kan man läsa om den semester han åkte på mot slutet av sommaren 1911 med vännen Max Brod. Knappt har tågresan västerut börjat förrän en hatt ramlar ner från hyllan, vilket blir en förevändning för Kafka att tala med den flicka som senare dyker upp i inledningen till den oavslutade roman som de båda vännerna arbetade på efter resan. Så fort Kafka hamnar i en tågkupé skildrar han medresenärernas alla förehavanden och personligheter, och när han och Max Brod färdas till Zürich, Milano och Paris kommer de i kontakt med allt från en judisk guldsmed och grekisk läkare till en handelsresande i vykort och ett ungt kyssande italienskt par.Världslitteraturen rymmer också många fiktiva resesällskap. Vad vore Dante utan Vergilius? Och Don Quijotes äventyr utan hans vapendragare och resesällskap, den fattige bonden Sancho Panza, som med jordnära humor och ironi balanserar husbondens storslagna visioner? Nog hade det varit sorgligt om Don Quijote var ensam om att få se havet för första gången när de kommer till Barcelona. I slutet drabbas riddaren av svårmod och klarsyn. Tårarna Sancho Panza fäller vid hans dödsbädd påminner läsaren om att detta, bland mycket annat, är en roman om en mycket speciell vänskap. Och om att resa tillsammans.Resesällskapet kan också fylla berättartekniska funktioner i litteraturen, som ett sätt att öppna en intrig eller introducera romangestalter. Den ryska 1800-talsprosan vimlar av möten i tågkupéer eller på ångbåtar som hjälper handlingen på traven. I den indiska författaren Anita Nairs roman Kvinnor på ett tåg fungerar en nattlig resa från Bangalore till landets sydspets som en förevändning för sex olika kvinnor att berätta sina dramatiska livshistorier för varandra och läsaren.I reseskildringar finns två diametralt olika sätt att närma sig människor man möter längs vägen. Många författare använder sådana möten och samtal för att teckna ett större skeende; illustrera den politiska situationen i ett samhälle eller den kulturella egenarten hos ett land. Själv tilltalas jag av en annan, något mindre vanlig sorts reseskildring, där författaren avstår från att göra sina resesällskap till verktyg och istället låter dem framträda i sin egen rätt. Som i spanjoren Julio Llamazares bok Trás-os-Montes, där författaren under några dagar reser i den glesbefolkade portugisiska regionen med samma namn. På ett anspråkslöst sätt talar han med en äldre barberare i staden Bragança och fruktförsäljare vid landsvägen. Han överger sökandet efter huset där upptäckaren Ferdinand Magellan eventuellt föddes, och hamnar istället i samspråk med några brandmän som vilar i skuggan utanför stationen. Det enkla men känsligt tecknade mötet gör att de under en kort stund överskuggar betydelsen av sjöfararen som gjorde den första världsomseglingen för över fem hundra år sedan.Liksom romankonsten har resan dödförklarats många gånger. Den amerikanske författaren Paul Bowles menade att resan tynade bort samtidigt som ångfartygen försvann, och att snabbare transportmedel bara resulterade i en ytlig form av turism. I weekendresornas tidevarv, då vi regelbundet får ta del av listor över årets hetaste och mest överskattade resmål, kan det vara lockande att hålla med honom.Men även om resan som en väg till fördjupad förståelse av världen och det egna jaget är hotad, påminner författare som Julio Llamazares om att det aldrig är för sent att skärpa blicken på främmande platser och länder. Kanske skulle en renässans för att resa på djupet kunna gå genom en omvärdering av resesällskapet som fenomen. En sorts kopernikansk revolution, där destinationerna och sevärdheterna inte längre är det viktigaste – utan där medresenären som utan förvarning dyker upp längs vägen står i centrum. I så fall är en sådan renässans inom räckhåll för var och en av oss – bara några ord och en människa bort.Henrik Nilssonförfattare och essäist

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we speak with Ishan Shanavas — a nature photographer, author, and founder of EcoInspire, an environmental education initiative that has already reached over 20,000 students across 70 schools in five Indian states. Through engaging storytelling, dynamic school sessions, and vivid wildlife photography, Ishan is helping shape how young people understand and appreciate biodiversity and the natural world.Growing up on road trips through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve and studying at a school nestled in the forests of Andhra Pradesh, Ishan's early experiences surrounded by wildlife sparked his lifelong passion for conservation. His bestselling book The Lighter Wilder Things became the foundation for Mission EcoInspire, a project dedicated to promoting biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness among students. Realizing that online conservation messages often remain confined to a small, like-minded audience, Ishan set out to bring these conversations directly into classrooms. His approach emphasizes the need for early biodiversity education and environmental education as essential tools to nurture empathy, understanding, and curiosity about wildlife and ecosystems.In the episode, Ishan discusses the origins of his conservation journey and the goals of EcoInspire. He reflects on the power of face-to-face interaction in conservation outreach and conservation education, sharing how simple, accessible communication can inspire students to take interest in biodiversity management and wildlife conservation. He explains how schools across cities like Bangalore, Mysore, Trivandrum, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Gulbarga have welcomed his sessions, with both teachers and students showing overwhelming enthusiasm. The program's success demonstrates that hands-on environmental engagement remains one of the most effective ways to build lasting connections with nature.Ishan also explores the role of social media in spreading environmental awareness. He highlights how platforms can amplify meaningful conservation stories when used responsibly, but also cautions against misinformation and sensationalism. He shares valuable advice for conservationists aiming to improve their communication — simplifying complex topics, avoiding technical jargon, and using creativity, humor, and visual storytelling to reach wider audiences. He mentions innovative communicators like Rohan Chakravarti (Green Humor) and the Dhole Project in Kerala, both of whom effectively use art and media to connect people with Indian biodiversity.The discussion underscores that conservation is not just about protecting species but about building emotional and cultural bridges between people and nature. Ishan's message is clear: the success of wildlife conservation and biodiversity management depends on reaching beyond scientific circles and inspiring collective action. Through EcoInspire, he is demonstrating how passionate individuals can make conservation accessible, engaging, and relevant to younger generations.By sharing his journey, Ishan shows that the heart of biodiversity conservation lies in empathy, education, and communication. Whether through a classroom presentation, a book, or a digital post, his work reminds us that protecting India's natural heritage requires inspiring the minds and hearts of those who will shape its future.Tune in to learn how one individual's commitment to conservation outreach and environmental education is inspiring thousands of young Indians to rediscover their connection with wildlife and work toward a sustainable future.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

Insider accounts from political aides, bureaucrats, and diplomats have long illuminated the workings of power—but even more enigmatic were the lobbyists. Operating in the shadows, often invisible to public scrutiny, they were intimately privy to clandestine negotiations, back-channel discussions, and subtle bureaucratic skirmishes. In his new roman-à-clef For No Reason At All, Ramjee Chandran shines a light on this hidden world. Chandran—well‑known in Bangalore as a journalist, publisher, and podcaster—has, until now, remained silent about his time as a lobbyist in 1980s New Delhi, a pivotal era just before major economic reforms took hold. Drawing from real events, the novel charts the journey of a young lobbyist caught in a high-stakes conflict over silicon metal—a material deemed strategically vital. Central to the drama is Metkem Silicon, which, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, devoted 17 years to developing indigenous silicon metal technology. Yet their efforts collided with a rival scheme spearheaded by the Department of Electronics, which wanted to bypass local innovation and import U.S. technology. What ensued was a four‑year bureaucratic war: media leaks, secret memorandums, and the covert involvement of the Soviets and other intelligence agencies—culminating in a final decision placed in the hands of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Set against the backdrop of Cold War Delhi on the cusp of liberalisation, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a nation—and capital—torn between ideologies and ambitions. The Soviet Union may have vanished, lobbyists have receded from public corridors, and few can claim first‑hand knowledge of that era. In Confessions of a Lobbyist, Siddharth Raja—a lawyer, historian, and bibliophile—sits down with Ramjee Chandran to peel back the layers of this story, offering an insider's glimpse into a world that feels at once distant and disarmingly relevant. In this episode of BIC Talks, Ramjee Chandran will be in conversation with Siddharth Raja. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

In this episode, Raution Jaiswal reveals how he built InsuredMine from $40,000 in funding to $5 million ARR, competing against giants like Salesforce in the US insurance agency software market. Starting as an immigrant founder with no insurance background, Raution bootstrapped his way through the brutal early days, moonlighting while building his first product, pivoting from a consumer app to B2B CRM, and eventually capturing 17 of the top 50 insurance agencies in America. He shared the journey in this candid conversation with host Akshay Datt. Raution breaks down his "Trojan Horse" go-to-market strategy, positioning InsuredMine as a friendly add-on to legacy systems before becoming the central hub of agency operations. He discusses why modern product architecture is his secret weapon, how he's embracing AI to move from automation to prescriptive intelligence, and why he chose to return to India after 18 years in the US to run his American business and give back through his foundation. This is a masterclass in vertical SaaS, capital efficiency, and contrarian company building in a massive but overlooked market. Key Highlights:

This episode features Hema Mandanna, history teacher and administrator at Mallya Aditi International School, Bangalore, in conversation with host Philippa Wraithmell. Hema reflects on her 27-year teaching journey and the evolution of education technology in India's tech capital. The discussion covers key themes of teacher autonomy, professional development, and the integration of iPads and accessibility tools that transformed learning for students with diverse needs.

The episode also examines the school's proactive engagement with AI in education, ongoing teacher training, and how a culture of openness and collaboration fosters confident, critical thinkers. Hema's story stands as a testament to how innovation and equity can coexist when educators lead with trust, creativity, and compassion.

In the bustling city of Bangalore, a young woman named Aarushi moves into a seemingly perfect PG — cheap rent, Wi-Fi, and comfort. But her landlady warns her about one strange rule: “Always cover the mirror at night.” When Aarushi forgets, she begins seeing someone inside the mirror — someone who isn't there. As the nights pass, the line between reflection and reality starts to blur… until the mirror claims her completely. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Journalism. Politics. Justice. One fateful evening in 2017, journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot outside her Bangalore home. Her death sent shockwaves across the country. But the story didn't end there. This evening with journalist and author Rollo Romig, as he explores in his powerful new book, I Am on the Hit List, offers new insights into the life and assassination of Gauri Lankesh.

SummaryIn this SPOTLIGHT episode, Abhay shares a conversation with Abhijit Bansod, an award-winning designer, discusses his journey as a cultural designer, emphasizing the importance of storytelling, the influence of Indian culture on design, and the continuous evolution of a designer's mindset. He explores the complexities of defining Indian design, the balance between nostalgia and innovation, and the impact of design on identity and confidence in cultural narratives.Learn more about Abhijit's work here:Studio ABDTigoonaMUBHIIntroduction:We talk a lot these days about the soft power of India and the effect it has on a global stage. It seems more and more like that cultural power has had a profound impact on hearts, minds, memories, and markets throughout the world. I often have wondered about how this all has been designed, about the vision it takes to create the ideas, and about the execution required to bring tradition to life in a way that both feels new and has lasting impact.  Thankfully, to help guide us, I shared a conversation with Abhijit Bansod, a visionary  designer who has been orchestrating a beautiful harmony between so many elements of everyday Indian life with thoughtful, modern design. Growing up in Nagpur in India, he drew inspiration from daily sights and stories, eventually shaping his path through the National Institute of Design and a decade at Titan Industries, where he helped bring Indian storytelling into watchmaking. After launching Studio ABD in Bangalore, Abhijit committed to creating products that aren't just functional but tell rich, poetic stories—whether it's a lamp inspired by street culture or accessories that celebrate Indian craft or offering mobility solutions to local street entrepreneurs. His studio's philosophy is to blend humor, emotion, and local culture with innovation, making even the simplest objects reminders of Indian tradition and joy. With many honors and accolades, Abhijit is widely respected for work that connects deeply with users and he also serves as a decorated ambassador of contemporary Indian design. He believes that products aren't just consumable but that they're animated anecdotes to help connect everyone to a holistic design experience.  As we caught up to chat about everything from trends and nostalgia to thinking like a designer and optimism, I was curious to know how he, as a designer, approaches something as simple as how he first introduces himself to people?Shout out to Deepa Prahalad Abhyankar for the spark!

Michael Cremo's book Forbidden Archeology, coauthored with Richard Thompson, caused shock waves in the world of science, It exposed evidence for a human presence on this planet going much further back in time than the current dominant consensus in the world of science allows.In Extreme Human Antiquity, Cremo builds on the foundation of Forbidden Archeology, introducing explosive new cases from all phases of archeological research, from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on his knowledge of the history and philosophy of science, he documents how evidence for extreme human antiquity has been subjected to a process of knowledge filtration, by which this evidence is ignored, forgotten, set aside, or dismissed on flimsy grounds.Evidence for extreme human antiquity includes human bones, human footprints, and human artifacts. Cremo's understanding of what counts as human includes discoveries that have previously been attributed to Neanderthals and other hominin species. Cremo presents for each case the pros and cons for taking it as evidence for extreme human antiquity and lets readers make their own decision.MICHAEL A. CREMO is an independent historian of archeology. He is a member of the World Archaeological Congress and the European Association of Archaeologists. Cremo is the principal author of the book Forbidden Archeology, a comprehensive historical survey of archaeological anomalies. Cremo examines the history of the archeology from the standpoint of alternative worldviews, particularly worldviews with foundations in ancient Indian thought. He has given invited lectures on his work at the Royal Institution in London, the anthropology department of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, the archeology department of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and many other scientific institutions. He has also lectured on his work at universities throughout the world. He is a frequent guest on radio and television programs, and has a wide presence on the web.

Carlo Pizzati"Il fuggitivo"Sulle tracce di un prigioniero di guerra fra l'India di ieri e di oggiNeri Pozzawww.neripozza.itTra Mumbai, Bangalore e Dharamsala, tra archivi segreti e ricostruzioni dei piani dell'intelligence britannica per “rieducare” i prigionieri italiani, un dialogo intimo con il passato che intreccia l'India di oggi, proiettata verso un futuro sempre più potente, con quella degli anni Quaranta, in bilico tra colonialismo e indipendenza.Nel dicembre 1940, un giovane ufficiale degli Alpini, Ottone Menato, viene catturato in Egitto durante la sanguinosa battaglia di Nibeiwa. La sua incredibile odissea inizia con una fuga attraverso il deserto del Sinai al fianco di beduini. Dopo l'arresto nello Yemen, viene trasferito nei campi di prigionia britannici in India. Ma Ottone non si rassegna: evade dai reticolati di Bangalore con tre commilitoni. Braccato nella giungla infestata da pantere, serpenti e altri animali feroci, è aiutato da pastori e contadini indiani. Riacciuffato, questa volta viene internato nel campo di Yol, alle pendici dell'Himalaya, dove pianifica subito l'ennesima evasione e dove scopre un microcosmo inaspettato: teatri con attori che recitano in abiti femminili, cinema sotto le stelle, dibattiti culturali e una comunità che, dopo l'8 settembre 1943, si spacca tra antifascisti, con più possibilità di movimento, e la cosiddetta Repubblica fascista dell'Himalaya, i non-collaboranti rinchiusi nel campo 25. Ottant'anni dopo, Carlo Pizzati, discendente di Ottone e scrittore che vive in India da quindici anni, si mette sulle tracce del prozio seguendo un romanzo dello stesso Ottone sulla sua ricerca di libertà. Carlo Pizzati è autore di saggi, romanzi e memoir in italiano e in inglese su temi transculturali, storici e contemporanei. Nella sua carriera giornalistica internazionale ha vissuto a New York, Città del Messico, Buenos Aires, Madrid e Roma, insegnando in università prestigiose. Dal 2010 abita in India e collabora con la Repubblica e La Stampa. Tra le opere più recenti, La tigre e il drone (Marsilio 2020), Una linea lampeggiante all'orizzonte (Baldini&Castoldi 2022) e A History of Objects (HarperCollins 2022). IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "Ryan Valasapali's story is a fascinating one. He came to Sheffield from India to study for an MBA — and when he arrived, the whole city was covered in snow. He'd never seen snow before, and it was quite a shock! Just three months into his new life in Sheffield, his dad — who had been helping support him financially — told him over the phone, ‘That's it, son. No more money. You're on your own now.' So Ryan went out to find work, and that's how he ended up joining Home Fundraising. His first week was tough, and he was ready to quit. In fact, he was on his last door of the day, planning to hand in his kit after that… but that final door completely changed everything for him. Seventeen years later, Ryan is back in India, living in Bangalore, working as a director at one of the country's major fundraising agencies. I really enjoyed hearing his story — how that one pivotal moment shaped his whole career — and I think you will too."

This week, Monika takes on the headline-grabbing claim that Indians need just ₹3.5 crore to retire, based on HSBC's Affluent Investor Snapshot 2025. She explains why a survey of only 1,006 people cannot give us a one-size-fits-all number for something as deeply personal as retirement. Using her three-bank-account system, Monika shows how to calculate expenses, adjust them for inflation, and arrive at a realistic corpus — one that could be far higher than the study suggests.Monika also shares practical milestones to track: 3x your annual income by age 40, 6x by 50, and 8x by 60. She stresses that retirement planning depends on lifestyle, healthcare needs, and investment choices, not arbitrary averages. With tools like SEBI's calculators and the worksheets in her book Let's Talk Money, she urges listeners to run their own numbers and avoid being misled by simplistic estimates.This week's listener questions include Raghavendra V B asking how to map multiple mutual funds to different goals without creating overlap, Amit Gujral seeking the right strategy to build a long-term portfolio for his newborn daughter, and an anonymous listener from Bangalore debating whether to prioritize home loan repayment or SIP investments.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) The Problem with “Rs 3.5 Crore to Retire” Headlines(00:00 – 00:00) How to Estimate Your Retirement Corpus the Right Way(00:00 – 00:00) Mapping Mutual Funds to Goals Without Overlap(00:00 – 00:00) Planning for a Child's Future While Securing Your Own(00:00 – 00:00) Home Loan vs SIP: Which Should You Prioritize?https://amzn.in/d/6gbEbrMIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠@MonikaHalan⁠Production House: ⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠Production Assistant:⁠ Anshika Gogoi

Welcome to Paisa Vaisa In this incredibly insightful episode, we sit down with a true titan of the Indian retail sector, BS Nagesh, the founding employee (not founder, as he humbly corrects) of the iconic Shoppers Stop. From being the first employee in 1991, even before the economic reforms came in, Mr. Nagesh takes us on a fascinating journey of how he helped shape how India shops. He shares the incredible story of launching the first Shoppers Stop in just 90 days before Diwali from a converted theater in Mumbai. Learn about the crucial early focus on experience with self-service and the challenges of convincing both customers and suppliers. Discover how the Indian consumer has evolved, the aspirations behind their choices, and the surprising lessons learned during the expansion across metro tier two three cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. Mr. Nagesh also delves into the impact of e-commerce, revealing that Shoppers Stop was one of the first ecom companies in India. He shares his perspective on the future of omni channel retail, the role of shopping malls, and the crucial metrics for evaluating retail companies, emphasizing cash flow and margin per square foot. Beyond his legendary role at Shoppers Stop after 34 years, Mr. Nagesh passionately discusses his current venture, TRAIN (Trust for Retailers and Retail Associates of India), and his mission to give back by empowering retail associates and persons with disabilities. This is a must-listen episode packed with invaluable business wisdom, personal anecdotes, and a deep understanding of the Indian market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ravi Madabhushi finds that all of the stops along his professional journey were accidental. He grew up in a tiny village in the south of India - so small, it would take you 10 minutes to sprint across it, end to end. His goals back then were common - get a job, get married, etc. - but after he moved to Bangalore post school, he got acquainted with startups... and was hooked. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 kids. He enjoys playing tennis, badminton, and squash. He got introduced to squash when he was playing tennis, it started raining, and they were forced inside to play "inside tennis"... IE squash.Ravi and his team had a successful exit from their prior company, and decided to give startups another go. They wanted to solve the authentication problem for builders wanting to focus on their product - not building auth. What they found was a new arena in the world of AI, agents, and authentication of everything in between.This is the creation story of ScaleKit.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchMailtrap.TECH Domains (https://get.tech/codestory)Linkshttps://www.scalekit.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravibits/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Asad Rehman about the allegations levelled by Rahul Gandhi on the Election Commission. He talks about the press conference conducted by the Leader of Opposition last week where he alleged that over a lakh votes were stolen in the Mahadevapura constituency in Bangalore and the EC colluded with the BJP to make this happen. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Sukalp Sharma about the fact that even though the US has threatened to impose extra 25% tariffs on India as we continue to import Russian oil, it was actually the US itself which played a major role in India ramping up its oil imports from Russia. (19:13)Lastly, we talk about the CBSE introducing open textbook assessment after a pilot study for class 9, from the next academic session.

For years, driving by the Inner Koramangala Inner Ring Road from where I stay to Indiranagar, the Ultraviolette showroom would always catch my eye on the left. I used to constantly wonder about those really cool bikes hanging from cables in the double-ceiling office, intrigued by what kind of bikes they were.Coincidentally, Ultraviolette was founded in the same year that The Ken also started. We've both been in Bangalore, both in a similar part of town, for most of that time. And yet, this was our first time meeting in the ninth year of our respective journeys. As Narayan himself beautifully put it, when you're chasing larger goals, time truly goes by incredibly quickly. We'll delve into what that means for a founder and how they perceive the passage of time when building an organisation from the ground up, because, as Narayan notes, time is the biggest limiting factor for a startup, encompassing money and talent, as founders are always trying to "buy time".We explored Ultraviolette's foundational vision, how his engineering education laid a strong foundation, and how it fostered a passion to build things from an early age, even tinkering with electronics and DIY systems, their early funding challenges when VCs deemed their ambition "a little too risky" in the early stages, as they were trying to compete with entrenched players.Narayan is also the head of design at Ultraviolette, so naturally, the conversation went in the direction of him defining the Ultraviolette brand's core pillars as design, technology, and performance, with the promise of "bringing you the future faster than the competition".He shared Ultraviolette's ambition to expand to Europe this year and address a significant market gap for compelling electric mid-segment motorcycles at price parity with internal combustion engines.Narayan also revealed that his colleagues often describe him and his co-founder and childhood friend, Niraj, as "paranoid," driven by a deep attention to detail. He constantly pushes his team to ask, "Have we found the optimal solution after discarding all other possibilities?"The journey of Ultraviolette is one that defies conventional wisdom.Welcome to First Principles. -This episode was produced by Hari Krishna, with mixing and mastering by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

On this week's episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we kick things off with the glorious meltdown of two of our least favorite Bond villains: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Not only is their public pissing match tanking Tesla's market cap, but now Trump's launching a crypto wallet to… fund freedom? Or at least funnel it straight to his latest shell game. Meanwhile, someone at DOGE admitted the U.S. government wasn't entirely incompetent, so naturally, they got fired. Efficiency is un-American, after all.In the news, Ukraine leveled up with an unprecedented drone blitz on Russian airbases using—you guessed it—open source software. GitHub just became a geopolitical weapon. Back home, Nebraska wants to unplug your kids, Florida's trying (and failing) to legislate dopamine, and Tesla's panicking that their crash data might expose how their “Full Self-Driving” is really just short bus autopilot. And because the AI dystopia train never stops: OpenAI's bot is recommending meth to recovering addicts, Meta's replacing humans with risk-assessing algorithms, and one “AI startup” turned out to be 700 dudes in Bangalore with a decent VPN. Cue the dramatic zoom on Diabolus Ex Machina.Media Candy this week is a buffet: Downton Abbey finally closes up shop, Stranger Things 5 sets a date, and Foundation still sucks. Marc Maron's locking the gates for good, Garbage drops a surprisingly optimistic album, and Hollywood's quietly been using AI like it's a studio intern who doesn't need sleep. Over in The Library, Jason's back with Hitchhiker's Guide and Brian dives in to Michael Palin's Python diaries—because reading actual books is still a thing, damn it. Plus: Dave Bittner wants to “go antiquing” with Amy Sedaris with a Ben Franklin playbook. Closing shout-outs go to the legendary Loretta Swit—Hot Lips forever—and yes, we finally answer the question nobody asked: what is under a Jawa's hood?Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
