We have no intention to defame or harm any individual, brand, product, country, or profession mentioned in this video. Our aim is to provide information to help the audience make informed decisions. In this telugu podcast episode, Dr. Pavan Mamidi delves into the fascinating and thought-provoking concept of Death Economics, an area of study that examines the livelihoods tied to death, particularly in the context of Varanasi's iconic Manikarnika Ghat. This ghat, a central location for cremations in the city, serves as a platform for understanding how death becomes a part of the local economy. Dr. Mamidi shares his unique experiences conducting seminars on Death Economics at this revered site, providing a rare perspective on how livelihoods and death intertwine, particularly within the Dom community, the caste historically tasked with cremation duties. Through these discussions, Dr. Mamidi explains how such a community has managed to develop sustainable livelihoods from death rituals, despite societal challenges and opposition. One of the more profound themes discussed in this episode is the general societal reluctance to talk about or even think about death. This avoidance, Dr. Mamidi argues, can lead to a disconnect with the natural process of life. By exploring the practices at Manikarnika Ghat, he provides an eye-opening look at how death is normalized in this community. He shares that many cremations occur here daily, but this becomes almost a routine, something the people have learned to cope with over generations. Dr. Mamidi also reveals his personal experience of living among the Dom community and reflects on the cultural ignorance surrounding death in broader society. He discusses how this ignorance has significant consequences, including the common reluctance to write wills, which often causes additional complications for families when someone passes away. The podcast also clarifies the difference between Kashi and Varanasi, often misunderstood terms that refer to different aspects of this ancient city. While Varanasi is the bustling, sacred hub of life and death, Kashi is often considered the spiritual essence of the city, transcending the physical world. This distinction forms the foundation for discussions on the economy of death, touching on stories like that of the abandoned woman who highlights the intersection between poverty, gender, and death. One particularly fascinating part of the episode dives into the rituals that are central to Indian society. Dr. Mamidi shares how many rituals originate as coping mechanisms for life's uncertainties, and how an intercaste wedding led to the rise of a particular ritual. He delves into the psychological underpinnings of why people pray, often only when they need something, and offers his personal perspective on karma and God. The final section of the podcast delves into Dr. Mamidi's professional journey as a behavioral scientist, highlighting his work in policy making and nudge theory. His experiences with social campaigns such as the Mask Campaign, tackling toxic masculinity, and working on policies for child nutrition are shared in great detail. Dr. Mamidi examines how small behavioral changes can have a huge impact on societal norms, citing numerous examples such as the Swacch Bharat campaign, the Pepsi case study, and the Ketchup example. In the end, the podcast encourages listeners to think critically about social norms, and the impact of media on behavior change. Dr. Mamidi also reflects on the importance of recognizing loss aversion, and how it shapes our decisions. Ultimately, he challenges listeners to reconsider their views on life, death, and the rituals that shape our culture.

In this Telugu podcast, we sit down with Ambica Krishna garu, the driving force behind the legacy of Ambica Agarbatti, for an intimate look into his life's journey, the evolution of his family business, and his multifaceted roles in public life. Known for his deep-rooted faith and savvy business acumen, Krishna garu takes us through the inspiring story of how Ambica Agarbatti grew from humble beginnings into a symbol of trust and devotion for millions. Starting with the brand's foundation in the late 1960s, Krishna garu reflects on the legacy his father built. Driven by the motto "Bhagavanthundiki Bhakti Ki," which translates to "Devotion to God," Ambica Agarbatti set out to embody purity and spirituality in every product. Running a family business of this scale comes with its own set of challenges, and Krishna garu shares the unique dynamics of managing a large joint family business that spans across 30 family members and employs over 2,500 people. He reveals how he maintains a close bond with long-term employees, some of whom have worked with Ambica Agarbatti for more than 15 years, fostering a culture that intertwines family values with corporate principles. Krishna garu firmly believes that faith and fate play integral roles in the journey of Ambica, a sentiment that he holds deeply as he continues his father's legacy. Despite a growing wave of atheism and a societal shift away from traditional practices, Krishna garu reflects on how Ambica Agarbatti has adapted. He observes that people, particularly the younger generation, no longer follow the traditional practice of visiting temples; instead, their approach to spirituality has transformed. While some see this shift as a challenge, Krishna garu views it as an opportunity to preserve and present the spiritual values embedded in Ambica Agarbatti's products to a new audience. The marketing legacy of Ambica Agarbatti is as unique as its inception. Krishna garu shares memories of how his father began with Doordarshan ads and created taglines like "Ammakam Ante Nammakam" (Faith Means Trust), which resonated deeply with the Indian audience. One quirky story involves a van Krishna garu used for advertising, which locals mistook for a cigarette van, adding to the product's unique appeal. He recounts the days when their humble van roamed the streets, drawing in curious onlookers and slowly building brand recognition one stop at a time. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a traditionalist at heart, or simply interested in the spirit behind Ambica Agarbatti, this conversation is filled with insights and inspiration.

In this podcast episode, we explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of psychiatry, mental health, and brain function, with our esteemed guest, Dr. Virinchi Sharma, a renowned psychiatrist and Director of Manasa Psychiatric Hospital in Hyderabad. Dr. Sharma's extensive experience as a consultant psychiatrist at institutions like BITS Pilani and Sleep Therapeutics, combined with his role as an Associate Professor and TEDx speaker, allows him to bring a wealth of knowledge to this conversation. With a background that includes speaking at over 1,000 television debates and delivering keynote addresses at prestigious conferences, Dr. Sharma is exceptionally equipped to guide us through some of the most pressing mental health issues of our time. We begin by delving into the world of psychiatric hospitals, a subject that often sparks curiosity but is widely misunderstood. Dr. Sharma explains the key differences between outpatient and inpatient psychiatric care. Outpatient services, he notes, provide therapeutic consultation and treatment without requiring a patient to stay overnight, whereas inpatient facilities offer more intensive, 24-hour care for individuals needing close monitoring and treatment. He emphasizes the need for mental health treatment to be normalized and explains when inpatient care is necessary for conditions like severe depression, schizophrenia, or when someone is at risk of self-harm. The conversation then moves into the importance of language in psychiatry. Dr. Sharma highlights how the words used during consultations can either create a safe, supportive environment or alienate a patient. He talks about the importance of being mindful, avoiding terms that may seem judgmental or stigmatizing, and the role that compassionate communication plays in mental health care. He also touches on a common question—whether everyone needs a psychologist. According to Dr. Sharma, while not everyone requires continuous psychological care, we could all benefit from a mental health check-up, just like we do with physical health. He stresses the importance of seeing mental health support as preventive care rather than a last resort. One of the most striking parts of our discussion revolves around technology addiction, a modern-day epidemic. Dr. Sharma provides insights into why so many people are glued to their phones and screens, describing it as a symptom of a deeper neurological issue. He explains how the human brain, particularly the "monkey brain" that deals with impulse control, struggles to adapt to the overwhelming stimuli of today's digital world. He references studies that suggest over-reliance on gadgets may even be shrinking certain parts of our brains, particularly those responsible for attention and impulse regulation. This leads to an exploration of our increasing need for dopamine—our brain's reward chemical. Dr. Sharma breaks down why we're constantly seeking multiple sources of stimulation, such as binge-watching shows while scrolling through social media. He explains how our dopamine system, designed to reward healthy behaviors, is being hijacked by fast-paced digital experiences, leading to an addiction-like cycle of craving and dissatisfaction. A relatable example is given through Dr. Sharma's analysis of VK's experience, where working non-stop for 15 days led to extreme boredom on a rest day. This, according to Dr. Sharma, can be attributed to excessive dopamine spikes that make periods of downtime feel unfulfilling. Wrapping up the episode, Dr. Sharma leaves us with valuable takeaways on how to protect our brains, manage our mental health, and stay resilient in the face of modern-day challenges. From stress management to understanding how dopamine shapes our behavior, this podcast is a comprehensive exploration of the mind, brought to life by the expertise and wisdom of Dr. Virinchi Sharma.

In this episode, we are joined by Mr. K.R. Nagarajan, the visionary Culturepreneur and Founder & Chairman of the Ramraj Group of Companies, whose passion for tradition and innovation has redefined Indian ethnic wear on a global scale. From his humble beginnings in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, Mr. Nagarajan's relentless pursuit of excellence has transformed Ramraj Cotton into a cultural symbol of pride and quality, known particularly for elevating the dhoti to iconic status. The podcast delves deep into Mr. Nagarajan's journey, starting from the foundation of Ramraj Cotton in 1983, with the mission to offer high-quality men's ethnic wear to South India. What began as a small store has now grown into an empire of over 300 outlets worldwide, supporting more than 50,000 weavers and families. His efforts have not only preserved traditional Indian attire but also infused it with modern conveniences, making it relevant and appealing to today's youth. Through innovative branding, including partnerships with celebrities like Venkatesh and Shreyas Iyer, Mr. Nagarajan has made Ramraj synonymous with style, tradition, and quality. One of the standout moments in Mr. Nagarajan's story is how he turned an instance of being denied entry to a five-star hotel because of his traditional attire into a defining moment for Ramraj. This experience inspired him to promote the dhoti with a renewed focus on pride and dignity, further establishing Ramraj Cotton's identity in the market. His vision for the brand was never just about selling clothes but about building a cultural movement that honors Indian heritage while embracing modernity. As Mr. Nagarajan shares in this conversation, his journey is also a story of passion and perseverance. From running a small store to creating a network of over 300 outlets across the globe, his leadership has turned Ramraj into a global phenomenon. His commitment to preserving traditional weaving techniques, providing economic opportunities for weavers, and championing social causes like education and environmental conservation exemplifies his belief in holistic community development. In this episode, you'll learn about: The evolution of traditional wear and how Ramraj has made the dhoti fashionable for the modern generation. The power of branding and how Mr. Nagarajan created a unique narrative that connects with people from all walks of life. The journey from a small village in Tamil Nadu to building an empire, with over 300 stores across the globe, and the deep values that drive Ramraj Cotton forward. But it's not just business that drives Mr. Nagarajan. His dedication to empowering 50,000+ weavers and supporting traditional craftsmen is a testament to his belief in economic empowerment and social responsibility. His efforts go beyond the fabric of Ramraj, as he advocates for education, supports yoga, and even founded the TENEERA initiative, which helps coconut farmers thrive. Mr. Nagarajan also reaches communities through Venmai, a monthly magazine that touches over 18,000 subscribers with stories of culture, inspiration, and self-betterment. His influence extends beyond fashion into fostering connections, uplifting communities, and advocating for sustainable living. The conversation with Mr. K.R. Nagarajan is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, leadership, and cultural preservation. He offers invaluable lessons on the importance of staying grounded in tradition while embracing change and innovation. For anyone looking for inspiration or practical business insights, this episode is a must-watch. Mr. Nagarajan's journey reminds us that true success comes from passion, perseverance, and a deep commitment to values. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a business leader, or simply someone interested in stories of cultural pride, this podcast will leave you feeling inspired and motivated to pursue your dreams.

Xclusive Knights Podcast: RAW Talk & NXT Review (9-17-24)

Kenny and Fin are back to talk about the big happenings from Raw, what they want to see from the Mr. McMahon documentary series on Netflix and more. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this Telugu podcast, we sit down with Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder and CEO of ASBL, to unravel the complexities of India's Union Budget and its far-reaching implications. Our conversation kicks off with an intriguing question: Are our taxes genuinely being used for public welfare, or are they just filling government coffers and funding luxuries? Ajitesh sheds light on the staggering statistic that many citizens essentially work four months a year solely to pay taxes, which raises significant concerns among the middle class about the efficacy and fairness of our tax system. The issue of India's national debt also comes under scrutiny. With a jaw-dropping debt figure of 50 lakh crore rupees, Ajitesh explores the implications of such a massive financial burden. He questions whether we are inadvertently setting up future generations for financial instability and whether the government's borrowing practices are sustainable in the long run. This segment of the podcast provides a comprehensive overview of how debt is accumulated, managed, and its potential impact on India's economic future. One of the most thought-provoking segments of our discussion centers around the special welfare budgets for SC/ST/BC communities. Ajitesh offers a candid assessment of these initiatives, questioning whether they are genuinely beneficial or merely political strategies to secure votes. He discusses the effectiveness of these budgets, their implementation, and the real outcomes they have achieved. This conversation leads to a broader discussion on the role of welfare programs in addressing social inequalities and their potential for real societal change. Ajitesh also raises concerns about the lack of economic literacy in India's education system. Despite the critical importance of understanding economics in everyday life, this subject is often neglected in schools and universities. He argues that a more robust economic education is essential for preparing young Indians to navigate the complexities of the financial world. Ajitesh emphasizes the importance of integrating economic literacy into the curriculum, ensuring that future generations are well-equipped to make informed financial decisions. Another critical area of discussion is the manufacturing sector's expansion under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration. Ajitesh offers a balanced view, acknowledging the achievements while also questioning whether the focus on manufacturing is as beneficial as it appears. He delves into the nuances of government policies, the challenges faced by the sector, and whether these initiatives genuinely contribute to long-term economic growth or serve as a distraction from other pressing issues. As the conversation progresses, we explore the role of India's youth in driving economic growth. Ajitesh passionately discusses the potential of young Indians to break free from economic illiteracy and actively contribute to the nation's development. He emphasizes the importance of acquiring new-age skills and staying informed about economic trends. This segment serves as a motivational call to action for young viewers, encouraging them to take an active interest in economic matters and participate in shaping India's future. This podcast is packed with valuable insights and critical discussions that challenge commonly held beliefs and encourage viewers to think more deeply about India's economic policies and their implications. Whether you're a student, professional, entrepreneur, or simply a concerned citizen, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and perspectives that can help you better understand the current economic landscape.

 In this comprehensive video, we dive deep into the complex and often controversial topics surrounding cosmetic procedures. Dr. Rajasekhar Gollu, a leading expert in cosmetology, joins us to shed light on various aspects of the industry that are rarely discussed. Why are so many women opting for vaginoplasty, and what drives this choice? Dr. Gollu delves into the motivations behind this procedure, including societal pressures and personal desires. He explains the differences between surgical and non-surgical options like HIFU and the crucial role of counseling. We also discuss the distressing issue of partner harassment that often influences these decisions. Breast implants continue to be a popular choice, but they come with their own set of risks and maintenance requirements. Dr. Gollu provides a detailed overview of the reasons people seek breast implants, the potential side effects, and essential precautions to take. Understanding these factors is crucial for making informed decisions about undergoing such procedures. Botox and fillers are often misunderstood. What exactly are these treatments, and how do they differ? Dr. Gollu clarifies their benefits and risks, offering a clear perspective on how these procedures fit into the broader realm of beauty enhancement and their impact on overall health. Gynecomastia, or surgery for 'man boobs,' is becoming increasingly common. We explore why men are turning to this surgery and how Dr. Gollu determines whether it is necessary. This segment highlights the underlying insecurities and societal pressures that contribute to the decision to undergo gynecomastia surgery. Personal hygiene and dietary habits play a significant role in skin health. Dr. Gollu discusses essential topics such as managing PCOS, maintaining personal hygiene in teens, and the impact of diet on skin conditions like dandruff. He also provides practical advice for spreading awareness about good hygiene practices. Celebrity cosmetic surgeries often make headlines, but what is the real story behind these transformations? We examine high-profile cases involving celebrities like Sridevi, Dulquer Salman, and Deepika Padukone. Dr. Gollu also addresses the negative effects experienced by some celebrities, such as those from liposuction and other surgeries, and discusses whether these transformations are sustainable.
