In this episode, Swamiji concludes his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 6, by addressing a deeply personal and universal theme: why human relationships often fail. Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna contrasts fleeting worldly attachments with the soul's eternal bond with the Divine, offering a path to lasting fulfillment through spiritual love.  Swamiji explains that human love, rooted in expectation and impermanence, inevitably leads to disappointment.

This episode invites seekers to reframe their emotional experiences and redirect their longing toward the only relationship that never breaks: the soul's connection with God.  Building upon our previous episodes on divine timing and the purpose of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of love as a spiritual force and reveals how the Gita gently guides us from heartbreak to wholeness. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for eternal love, clarity, and divine fulfillment.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a world-renowned spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) organization.

Ambi Parameswaran discusses the four essential ingredients for marketing success, comparing it to mixology. Marketing success is like mixology, requiring a careful blend of essential ingredients.Branding isn't reserved for companies with massive ad budgets. As Ambi Parameswaran says: “Whether you like it or not, you are a brand.”A Bhopal spice maker thought branding was “too expensive.” The fix? • Pick the name customers already use for you • Put it boldly on packaging (no extra cost) • Focus on your top-selling product • Test with local posters before expandingBalaji Wafers started the same way — one cinema in Gujarat, expanding town by town.For a kid toy startup, the playbook changed. They sold B2B kits to schools while targeting mothers online through “mom bloggers.” Their pivot to B2C delivered faster returns.B2B players like Thermax learned that branding matters even for industrial boilers. Independent research revealed customers rated them nearly as high as L&T.Non-negotiables before launch: • Know your customer vividly • Define your brand's job • Set guardrails to avoid trend-chasing chaosAI now plays a key role — Nestlé even mandates AI in brand presentations. But overpersonalization can backfire, as Tesco's infamous pregnancy-targeting case proved.The myths that branding is expensive, complicated, or slow to pay off are just that — myths. Done right, it starts delivering from day one.Ambi Parameswaran is a brand coach and founder, brand-building.com, a brand advisory. Ambi has spent his forty-year career in corporate India working across diverse sectors, such as pharmaceuticals/consumer products (Boots Company), media (UDI Yellow Pages) and advertising (Rediffusion). He spent over twenty-five years with FCB Ulka Advertising, helping transform a struggling ad agency into one of the top five marketing communications groups. Ambi is a guest faculty at IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad, MICA and an Adjunct Professor of Marketing at SPJIMR Mumbai.Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra.

Almost every ancient culture believed that human civilization and consciousness has progressively declined since an erstwhile Golden Age or Satya Yuga till the current age of greed and lies, discord and strife, called the Iron Age or Kali Yuga. Unfortunately, during our long passage through the darkness of the Kali Yuga, the original formulation of the Yuga Cycle was lost.In this extensively researched book, Bibhu Dev Misra has delineated the common threads that run through the Yuga Cycle doctrines of multiple ancient cultures, taking the aid of scientific discoveries from various disciplines. His reconstruction of the original Yuga Cycle framework indicates that the end of the Kali Yuga is just around the corner - in 2025!Within a span of just 15 years, by the year 2040, the Kali Yuga civilization is likely to collapse due to a combination of global wars, environmental catastrophes and comet impacts. We are living in the end-times that the ancient prophecies had warned us about. The survivors of the impending cataclysms will inherit a renewed earth, bathed in the divine light of the Central Sun.There is compelling evidence from many sources that the Yuga Cycle is a valid scientific doctrine, and is perfectly aligned with the earth's precession cycle. It explains the periodic collapse and re-emergence of civilizations across the world every 3000-odd years, and the progressive decline in our physical size and cranial volume over the past 11,700 years of the descending Yuga Cycle.Why does our consciousness fluctuate in a sinusoidal manner over the course of the Yuga Cycle? What are the triggers for the cataclysmic obliteration of civilization during the periods of transition between the Yuga? What is the significance of the end-time prophecies which tell of a Savior or Avatar returning at the end of the Kali Yuga? How can we navigate through the upheavals and chaos of the Yuga-ending period?These are some of the key questions addressed in this book. This riveting and thought-provoking work contains one of the most important messages of our time.Bibhu Dev Misra has been actively researching and writing on ancient civilizations and ancient mysteries for more than a decade. He is a regular contributor to many international magazines and websites such as New Dawn, Nexus, Mysterious Universe, GrahamHancock Forum, Science to Sage etc., and has appeared on podcasts and online conferences on Earth Ancients, Portal to Ascension, OSOM, Watcher's Talk and more.Bibhu lives in Kolkata, India, with his family. When he is not researching, writing, or traveling to ancient sites, Bibhu plays cricket with his son, strikes up a tune on his keyboard, reads books on ancient mysteries and esoteric subjects, goes for long walks and practices yoga.By profession, he is an Engineer from IIT Kharagpur and a MBA from IIM Calcutta, and worked as an Information Technology Consultant for nearly two decades, providing technology solutions to various global organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations. A few years back, he gave up his full-time job as a Technology Consultant in order to devote more time to his research and writing interests.This is Bibhu's debut book, based on one of his earliest articles.

Artificial intelligence or AI is quite the buzzword these days. Many of us would not have missed the news pouring in about AI - sometimes it is promising and at times, it isn't reassuring. But Ankush Sabharwal, founder and CEO of CoRover, believes AI is more than a buzzword. It is here to stay - simply because an average human is already relying on AI in ways that they don't realise. CoRover is a platform for conversational AI. The kind of AI Chatbot-as-a-service (CaaS) that we encounter through customer support with organisations.

In this conversation with TV Narendran, CEO & MD of Tata Steel, he talks about the transformation journey of the steel behemoth, from being a traditional, ‘old economy' steel-making company, that is today more digitally savvy, and a more efficient producer as well. He also dwells on how he gets his inspirations and ideas to bring about change in the conglomerate. Narendran also talks about the Indian consumption story for steel and the China impact on world steel production and prices. The Tata Steel chief also elaborates on the ‘greening of steel making' with the company looking to engender sustainable practices by recycling scrap steel through the electric arc furnace route which is less polluting than coal-fired plants. He also touches upon how he ended up as a lifer in Tata Steel which he joined soon after his MBA from IIM Calcutta.

“And it is really hard, I think, especially when imposter syndrome sort of plays on your mind saying, do I deserve to be so audacious with my dreams. And actually, for some time, I think I used to say the right thing, so I used to say that I'm playing a go big strategy, but when it came to actually making decisions, I would take a slightly safer route. And in fact an investor actually called me out on it and he said, you know, you're saying you want to go big, but your dreams do seem to be limited by some sense of restraint in your own mind.” Across the world women's participation in labour fell dramatically during the pandemic and India was no different. Except that numbers of women in the workforce had been steadily declining since 2010.  Women entrepreneurs fair no better in the country - just 14% of women own or run businesses(IMF2019). So, it is no great surprise that women account for just 17% of GDP in India, less than half the global average.  The barriers to entry for women are numerous - socio-cultural expectations, risk aversion, unequal access to finance and collateral, absence of support networks …. The list is endless. So, it is always good to meet with women who step out of their comfort zone to make their dreams come alive. In this case, it is my guest Anusha Bhushan, a young entrepreneur who left her career in investment banking to set up a wellness beverage brand Smoodies.  In this episode of The Elephant in the Room podcast we talk about her journey to becoming an entrepreneur,

With one of the world's largest ageing populations, the eldercare market in India is estimated to be worth $5 billion. But still, a substantial chunk of this sector remains disintegrated and unorganised.   In this edition of Founder Thesis, Akshay Datt talks with Vaibhav Tewari, Co-founder and CEO of Portea Medical. He is an alumnus of IIM Calcutta with more than two decades of experience in building new businesses across different industries.   In India, many corporate hospitals provide top-class health care services but post-discharge care for patients was left an untrodden path. To address this gap, Portea Medical was started in 2013. It is a first-of-its-kind in providing affordable in-home medical services for patients, with a presence in over 30 cities across the country.   Tune in to this episode to hear Vaibhav speak about how Portea is leading the home healthcare segment with its unique bouquet of services.  What you must not miss!  Portea Medical's go-to-market strategy.   Customer acquisition strategy.  Virtual engagement with patients.  Challenges faced by Portea.  ----- If you want to be a podcaster, then check out Zencastr.com which is also the generous sponsor for this episode.

Among the many problems in Indian agriculture is the absence of quality standards in the farm-to-fork food chain. The lack of standards means farmers have no incentive to innovative and produce qualitatively better food. It also takes away from the consumer the option of buying better. Even globally, determining the quality of farm produce is a largely subjective exercise, often involving conjecture. Usually, farm commodities are put though physical parameter tests using touch-and-feel, visual appeal, smell and taste. As a result, the ability of farmers who grow higher quality, or pesticide and chemical-free produce, to command a premium is rather limited. AgNext, a Chandigarh-based agritech start-up, could well be among the first in the world to crack this conundrum in a manner that is scalable even in a vast and diverse agri commodities market such as India. Using computer vision (a field of engineering that deals with computers analysing information using digital images and videos), spectral analytics, internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, AgNext's devices and technology platform can analyse produce quality from milk to grains to tea in about 30 seconds. It is like an MRI scanner for food. TR Vivek speaks to Taranjeet Singh Bhamra, the 42-year old founder of Agnext. Taranjeet is an IIM Calcutta and IIT-Kharagpur alum who chucked up a career in consulting and investment banking in 2015 to pursue his ambition of starting a business that could help Indian farmers.

In our 8th episode, we speak to Komal Agarwal, Co-founder at Pebble. In 2013, fresh out of IIM Calcutta, Komal saw the opportunity that would come about because of the smartphone boom. She identified Power Banks as a product that would grow tremendously and launched Pebble with 5 SKUs. Fast forward to today, Pebble has 100+ SKUs and present Pan-India, and Middle-East/Africa. It's been an exciting journey, one filled with a lot of learning for anyone who wants to build a consumer brand in India. We talk to Komal about how she scaled across different distribution channels, their focus on quality and how some key decisions in 2016-2017 helped the brand grow sustainably by keeping the long term vision in mind. She is extremely articulate and has candidly shared the blueprint of building a consumer brand in India. We had a lot of fun recording it, and I hope all of you have as much fun listening to it.
