You rarely meet someone who has built and sold five companies. Sachin Aggarwal is now building his sixth, Stackgen. The depth of lessons from someone who has been through that journey five times and still chooses to build again is simply unmatched. Even after five successful exits, he still builds like a first-time founder. He studies every new domain from scratch, speaks to 60 or 70 people before committing to an idea, and surrounds himself with people who are smarter than him. What stood out most is his mindset. That is what truly sets him apart. We have always been told that time is money, but he believes timing is money. Founders should time everything, including their exits because the best startups are always bought, not sold. From building his first company during the Asian Financial Crisis in Indonesia, to creating a healthcare startup that grew with Obamacare, to pioneering cloud security before it became mainstream, Sachin has mastered the art of timing. 0:00 – Trailer0:46 – From KPMG to becoming an entrepreneur2:05 – Why the best startups are bought, not sold4:30 – Does luck play a role in repeated success?5:24 – Why is timing money?6:46 – Exit at $8M ARR in just 18 months8:10 – The first exit that gave financial freedom10:14 – 26-year-old who bought an Indonesian Co.12:42 – What drives repeat founders?13:53 – Co's are either Born secure or they're not19:40 – Founders must master timing21:24 – How tech-savvy should a tech founder really be?22:35 – The right way to time your exits27:07 – How to observe new markets to build?28:30 – The process behind starting a company29:32 – How to find the right co-founders?31:53 – What really builds trust?33:05 – What founders learn building across industries35:25 – How Stackgen's founders met43:36 – Industries with the best Timing today44:41 – Where should young founders build?48:06 – Winning InMobi as a customer51:11 – What AI agents are doing at Stackgen55:14 – How Stackgen could be a billion-dollar opportunity?=-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

India is the 2nd largest startup ecosystem now. But, can it be at par with Silicon Valley?With 37 years of experience in the valley, Avanish sahai believes it can.

YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann has decided to put his money where his mouth is and made a horror flick. “Shelby Oaks”, the latest NEON release is hitting the theaters hard and critics are split, but, what do they know?

What makes a great venture capitalist — luck, timing, or the ability to see what others miss?Brij Bhushan (Prime Venture Partners) and Pratik Poddar (Nexus Venture Partners) talk about the long game of venture capital; the waiting, the lessons hidden in mistakes, and the emotional ride of backing founders through years of uncertainty.With Pratik, we dive into some of the biggest names in the Nexus portfolio: his first meeting with Rapido's founder before he even joined Nexus, the Meesho pitch that became a big miss, and his first call with Zepto's founders. Nexus was one of Zepto's earliest investors and has backed the company in every round since. Pratik speaks with great clarity about conviction, timing, and what truly defines great investing.Brij reflects on his decade of building Magicpin, what it means to “build the same company three times,” and how that journey reshaped the way he now works with founders. Having lived through the chaos of scaling, near-failure, and reinvention, he brings the founder's perspective back into venture capital.Together, Brij and Pratik capture the essence of the VC game — how the industry is evolving, why consensus rarely creates outliers, how real decisions are made inside funds, and why the best founders often seem “too early” rather than too late. We talk about everything that shapes a VC's everyday life, and above all why Brij and Pratik believe it's still the best job in the world.0:00 – Trailer01:59 – Biggest learnings from 10 years as a VC05:00 – Rapido as a counterintuitive bet06:49 – Meesho was a big miss10:20 – Why Venture capital is the best job?12:35 – Every meeting could be life-changing14:54 – Knowing you are NOT in an Operating role16:55 – How often are VCs wrong about market size?18:58 – Where to invest in Consumer companies?25:33 – How consumer VCs bet on behavior change27:12 – Is e-commerce truly built for young users?28:10 – How do Investors deal with Bias?30:04 – Are VCs only remembered for success stories?37:45 – Why good deals rarely come from Consensus?39:24 – The first call with Zepto's founders41:10 – How often do you meet truly exceptional founders?43:45 – Should VCs react to market shifts?46:42 – How long VC's take to make an investment decision?50:53 – How founders should approach fundraising54:27 – Can India produce 50 decacorns in the next few years?55:51 – Best way to play VC game is to have right fund size56:42 – Not Knowing is a pre-requisite for a VC1:00:41 – Exceptional founders have this superpower1:02:02 – Where Indian founders have a real edge1:05:14 – Building AI in India: local maxima or global maxima?1:09:00 – When will Indian Co's acquire Indian startups for $Billions?1:11:55 – Why Zomato & Swiggy aren't true Consumer Co's?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Introductions to your Ghosts Hosts with the Most - Lonely of Lonely Horror Club and Projectile Varmint aka Suzie Introductions to our Cagematch cohost Mike aka That Horror Teacher The Cagematch Bracket & Rules Bracket: To create the brackets, we pulled a total of 22 horror films from the NEON filmography which were placed into "seeds" based on their IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes ratings. After ranking all of the films, we used a bracket creator, like people do for fantasy football or March madness, which generated our full NEON Cagematch bracket. Check out the full bracket here.  Rules: For scoring and advancing, each host will rate the movie from 1 to 10 on the following metrics: acting, storytelling, scares, and cinematography. We can't give zeroes so the lowest possible overall score will be 12 and the highest possible overall score will be 120. In the event of a tie - the film with the highest Rotten Tomatoes score will advance. Each host will also have one wild card which will allow the host to rescore any film that has advanced to another round. Rounds - All reviews contain spoilers!

Happy Halloween! Chris Stuckmann raised more money for a Kickstarter than any project in history for his directorial debut. Then, Neon acquired the film and gave him the resources to do even more with the film, and give it a wide release a week before Halloween. We're here to give our thoughts on the final product and discuss if this is worthy of the film's inspirations. Come back next episode for our review of Conor's birthday pick, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere!

At 250 miles an hour, Clarence is about to pop off the window of the hovercraft- because apparently that's a plan. Vehicles crash all around them. The tunnels tremble. Somewhere ahead waits Clutch Hyper Star, the racer to beat… if they can even stay alive long enough to reach him.Meanwhile, Doc is back on the Crush, mutating into something between a surgeon and a sea god. Tentacles, ice, chaos - and maybe just enough madness to turn the tide.PLAY THE DUST WORLD RPG NOW:We've released the epic RPG Dust world and we want your help.

Earth's Mightiest Critics get "Stuckmannized" with a roundtable review of Shelby Oaks!OG YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann makes his feature debut with a horror movie about a woman's desperate search for her long-lost sister. The quest becomes an obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real.The film debuted at 2024's Fantasia International Film Fest and, after some retooling under the guidance of horror producer extraordinaire, Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck), Shelby Oaks recently opened in wide release under the Neon banner.How does this found footage-inspired throwback play in the modern horror marketplace?

“El futuro ya no es lo que solía ser.” decía Arthur C. Clarke. Nadie sabe cuándo empezó exactamente, es una línea de tiempo difusa, si tratas de aferrarla con las manos se te escapa en una infinidad de futuros que nos acechan con clamor desesperado... Todas las épocas parecen propicias para el desconsuelo... Todos los presentes se nos antojan preludios de una agónica destrucción o un lamento desesperado... Y entre todos ellos, llegan mensajes inconexos desde la distopía de nuestras ficciones... Voces que se amontonan intentando sobrepasar tanto ruido y transformar toda esa desesperación en algo más humano. Neon Noodles es un relato de José R.

When RateGain went public, it made history as India's first SaaS listingFounder Bhanu Chopra talks about what went into that call, how investors saw it, and what it revealed about the Indian capital market. He shares how RateGain built its global presence before turning to India, and why he bet big on a $250 million acquisition.Today, travel is changing faster than ever with travellers planning differently, hotels pricing dynamically, and APAC leading the global recovery. Bhanu breaks down how RateGain powers this, from AI that talks directly to hotels and travellers, to India's hospitality industry that aims to grow 100% every year.Valued at nearly $1Billion with over $120 million in annual revenue, RateGain counts some of the biggest names in travel among its customers including Airbnb, makemytrip, Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, Expedia, and Booking.com. From taking RateGain from zero to IPO and growing revenue tenfold in a decade, Bhanu's journey offers a grounded view of what it takes to build companies that last.

How do the best CEOs think, prepare, and leave a lasting legacy? Shiv Shivakumar, former CEO of PepsiCo and Nokia reflects on decades of leading some of the most iconic companies. He shares insights on what makes a great leader, from the mindset required to the qualities that define people with a fighter's instinct.Shiv explains why commitment and curiosity often matter more than degrees or pedigrees, and why only about 7% of those who aspire to be CEOs actually become one. He also discusses how to navigate co-founder disagreements, knowing when a company needs you, and how to hire the right people for lasting impact.Through stories from his own journey leading companies across sectors, Shiv highlights why unit economics, honest market sizing, and investing in innovation rather than cutting prices are critical for founders. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding culture, asking the right questions, and building trust in shaping a company's success.Whether you are an aspiring founder, a manager, or simply curious about how leadership works in practice, this conversation with one of India's most experienced CEOs is for you.0:00 – Trailer0:55 – 3 qualities of people with a fighter's instinct2:40 – The biggest sin of a CEO: Past forward5:51 – How a CEO of 20 years prepare using data?7:56 – Why the information pyramid today is upside down8:55 – If it doesn't surprise competition, it's waste of time9:53 – The art of asking great questions10:28 – Brands shouldn't age: keep your core, but stay relevant12:28 – Why Shiv calls himself a Brand person?13:40 – Rich buy brands for vanity, poor for security15:03 – Manyavar: Nationalism reflected in buying choices17:15 – The Suta story18:10 – Clothing Industry is waiting for innovations19:28 – Brand person vs. Manufacturing person21:27 – Why only 7% become CEOs23:08 – CEOs Shiv admires23:47 – Be the best prepared person in any room24:09 – Always stress-test your assumptions25:04 – Sending letters to great professors of the 90s29:32 – Opportunities in India vs. abroad36:59 – Understand culture before joining any company40:11 – What young people should expect from work?41:04 – People who leave a legacy42:49 – How to hire the right people?45:43 – Be a full-number, not decimal-point manager46:25 – Never hire for degree or background48:54 – Building relationships for the company's interest51:07 – How co-founders should handle disagreements?52:56 – Be honest about your addressable market54:00 – Founders overestimate idea, underestimate rigour54:30 – ID Fresh: Founder & Opportunity57:06 – The business model in publishing needs to change58:58 – Is ghostwriting alright?1:02:00 – The old model of distribution: Nokia Story1:04:09 – Why CEOs should work across industries?1:09:12 – When you need the company vs. when it needs you1:15:31 – Future hiring: soft skills first, train hard skills-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

It stars Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Robin Bartlett, and Michael Beach. Expanding upon an online found-footage series centered on a paranormal investigation team called the Paranormal Paranoids, which also featured Durn, the film follows a woman (Sullivan) desperate to find her sister (Durn) after she vanishes while exploring the eerie, abandoned town of Shelby Oaks. The film premiered at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival in 2024, where it earned mostly positive reviews, with critics praising Stuckmann's direction, the film's haunting atmosphere, and Sullivan's standout performance.

From a last-minute YC application to a $5 billion Company built on deep technical insight.In this episode, Viral Bajaria, Co-Founder and CTO of 6sense, takes us back to the very beginning. He recounts his early days at Hulu, where managing massive data systems during the Super Bowl taught him how data could drive real business decisions.Joining one of Y Combinator's early batches, Viral recalls being interviewed by Sam Altman and Garry Tan, and how the team quit their jobs after getting in, moved into a small townhouse, and began writing code. While most startups begin with small customers, 6sense started with some of the biggest enterprise logos. Viral explains why repeatability and implementation are harder when selling only to large accounts, and how those lessons shaped their approach to building sustainable growth. He also reflects on the difficult years when growth stalled, when the company had to rebuild its product, and when they learned that great technology means little without strong go-to-market execution. It is a story about timing, conviction, and the patience to build for what will not change.0:00- Trailer 02:26- First job at Hulu & exposure to big data06:36- YC interview by Sam altman & Garry tan08:22- Quitting job for YC11:07- First version: Big data analytics platform12:12- Getting in YC batch that downsized from 130 to 4713:27- The need & opportunity for a Merger15:49- Why Founders should learn to let go & avoid slow death16:07- Why everybody at YC advised against the merger?18:16- A VC next door that chased 6sense20:18- Rebuilding the product for B2B20:57- How this startup started with the biggest logos?21:59- Repeatability is hard when selling only to enterprise22:47- There were lot of startups, with lot more money23:32- How to build for things that won't change in 10 years?29:24- Ad platforms only targeted People, Not companies32:02- Why did 6sense get a new CEO?33:50- Funding rounds that led to $5Billion37:20- What 2013 Co's were doing can be done with 1% today38:39- When competition raises a $100M round39:40- If you build a company on LLM, there is no data moat42:02- What is the extent of guard rails for Agents?43:59- Viral's Investments in India & US Companies54:44- Co's should raise money to appear bigger than you are56:55- Vibe spending: People are spending money to try AI59:52- Is there a right time for vibe mode for every industry?01:02:00- Service as a software is selling agency to customer01:03:58- Why co's in the US-india corridor will succeed?01:17:27- Why Viral invested in Neon?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

"It Was Just An Accident" is a thriller film written and directed by legendary Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. The film is a co-production between Iran, Luxembourg, and France, the latter selecting it as the country's official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards. The film explores political repression in Iran and morality as a group of former political prisoners kidnap their torturer and decide what to do with him. Panahi, who is critical of the Iranian government and has been imprisoned several times, made the film without official filming permission from the Iranian authorities. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where it received universal acclaim and won the prestigious Palme d'Or. Panahi and editor Amir Etminan were kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
