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.

There seems to be a preconceived bias about the real estate ecosystem in India. With this episode, we aim to dive into the nuances that explain the complexities of the business. And who better to explain it than Irfan Razack from Prestige Group, Nirupa Shankar from Brigade Group, and Karan Virwani from WeWork & Embassy. We deep dive into family businesses, passion versus wealth, new-age real estate, and much more. For those who know me, I'm not the biggest fan of real estate (as an asset class), but I may also not know enough. This episode will give you insight into what really happens in the world's biggest asset class. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #IrfanRazack Chairman & MD of Prestige Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irfanfalcon/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irfan-razack-844a78114/? #NirupaShankar Executive Director at Brigade Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nirupa.shankar/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirupa-shankar-1309371/? #KaranVirwani CEO of WeWork India Twitter: https://x.com/karan_virwani10 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karanvirwani/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karanvirwani/?

Psychology believes that you start telling yourself you're passionate at something when you realise you're better at that something - same logic for talent? How important is it to be talented but also be “relevant” in the industries that seem cool to be in? In this episode of ‘WTF is' Podcast, we have Kriti Sanon, KL Rahul, & Badshah - who chose career paths which are quite offbeat. Is it sheer talent..? Is it discipline to achieve excellence despite the element of talent? or is it merely good luck? - being at the right place at the right time? #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: / nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...

India holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally. Despite it being such a big market, it is said to be one of the tougher industries to enter and sustain, given the complexities. There is also this misconception that making a lot of money in the liquor industry is easy, but what seems to be less apparent is the red tape-ism.. varying excise duties, distribution challenges across states, and more… which is true in some form while entering any industry. In this episode, we have Abhishek, Minakshi, Shuchir & Suraj, who will attempt to take us through the A to Z of building businesses in the Liquor Industry in a tangible manner; From building an International Brand, owning a Bar, to creating an influence through passion and finally, a unique identity in a competitive market. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #AbhishekKhaitan Managing Director of Radico Khaitan Twitter - https://x.com/radicokhaitan LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishek-khaitan-95098bb4/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/abhishek40/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/abhishek.khaitan.12 #MinakshiSingh Founder of SideCar, Cocktails & Dreams Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/min.drinks #ShuchirSuri Founder of Jade Forest, Anthem, Gin Explorers Club LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shuchir-suri-058251b/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shuchirsuri Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/shuchir #SurajShenai Founder of Goa Brewing Company Twitter - https://x.com/goabrewingco LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/surajshenai Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/surajshenai/ Disclaimer: Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.

India has had a long, colourful, and mixed history with Liquor over the centuries, with ancient fermented drinks and traditional liquors like feni and toddy. India today, holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally, which is remarkable given the challenging business environment of red tape-ism, varying excise duties across states and much more. In episode #18 of “WTF is” Podcast, we have Founders of different sectors in the Liquor Industry of India. Abhishek Khaitan, MD of Radico Khaitan, One of the oldest and largest manufacturers of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) in India; Minakshi Singh, Co-founder of SideCar, India's only entry in the top 100 of the World's Best Bars; Shuchir Suri, Co founder of Gin Explorer's Club, India's biggest gin festival with a footfall of over 100,000 people per edition; and Suraj Shenai, Founder of Goa Brewing Co, crafting ‘non-conformist, modern' beers that challenge the traditional dominance of German and Belgian flavours. If Euphemism for patriotism is outrightly sold to people, across the world in different pockets, can the same brand-building tactics work for Indian Products too?

Data suggest that young folks under the age of 30 are spending a lot more time on social media and gaming and less time on TV and physical sports. In this episode, we have the CEO of Nazara Technologies,Krafton India and Lila Games, leaders in the Indian gaming space. We also have Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), a protagonist of the Indian gaming Industry,turning gaming into a full time career in india Given that gaming for young kids today is what cricket was for Indians back in the day, we explore how one can prepare to become a part of the gaming industry: By either becoming a gamer, understanding specific skills needed and channels of monetisation or by developing and publishing games, knowing how hiring in the gaming industry works and so on.In both of these cases, what remains common is specific skills and knowledge Given that the industry is still in its nascent stages in India, we compare and contrast the climate of the gaming industry across geographies, break down what physiological aspects and latent human desires which makes certain games tick. It could be chasing emotions, status or making progress along with the opportunities that we are primed to capitalise based on the current landscape of the gaming industry. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #AnimeshAgarwal l - CEO of 8bit Creatives Twitter: https://x.com/8bit_thug/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/8bitthug Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/8bit_thug/ #SeanHyunilSohn - CEO of Krafton India Twitter: https://twitter.com/hisohn?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-hyunil-sohn-1670216 #JosephKim - CEO of Lila Games Twitter : https://twitter.com/jokim1?lang=en/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jokim/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jokim1/ #NitishMittersain - CEO of Nazara Technology Twitter: https://twitter.com/mittersain/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mittersain/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nitishmittersain/
Virtues required to build a business today seem to have become a cliché. What often gets lost in the cracks are the subtle nuances that actually make or break a business. The importance of risk-taking and the power of a contrarian mindset in running a successful venture requires far more than mere intellect. Founders of OYO, Mama Earth, and Rare Rabbit open up about what makes them tick, from the impact of their upbringing on their ambition to the drive towards financial independence. Their experiences remind us that the real ‘secret' to building a successful business is learning from every challenge and opportunity one encounters We break down traits that seem to persist in high-performing individuals, not all of which come from a happy space. Financial insecurity and childhood traumas shape much of how we act and operate as adults. Watch this episode to learn about how when it is channeled the right way, it can prove to be the building blocks of the traits needed to build a successful business. #Nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...

India is in the early stages of EV adoption. The adoption of two-wheelers is below 10%, whereas it's significantly higher for three-wheelers. For a market as large as India, there are significant opportunities. This episode is a deep dive into the EV ecosystem in India. Apart from building an EV, we also explore the ancillary opportunities in this ecosystem, from battery recycling and building out charging networks to offering battery swapping as a service and other micro-sectors. Tune in to hear what's powering the ecosystem's shift to electric mobility. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #TarunMehta - CEO, Ather Energy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarunsmehta LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarunsmehta/ X : https://twitter.com/tarunsmehta Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/tarunsmehta Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@AtherEnergyElectric #ChetanMaini - Co-Founder, SUN Mobility Founder of Reva Electric Car Company Ltd (now Mahindra Electric Mobility Limited) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mainichetan/ X: https://twitter.com/MainiChetan Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SUNMobility #PunitKGoyal - Co-Founder, BluSmart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/punitkgoyal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/punitg/ X: https://twitter.com/BluSmartGoyal Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BLUSMARTINDIA #SuruchiRao - Co-Founder, Ossus Biorenewables Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suruchi.rao/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suruchirao/ X: https://twitter.com/succirao Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suruchirao #EV #Climatechange #Automobile #Charging #Subsidy #Scooter
A few years ago, who could've guessed where we'd be with algorithms, platforms, or the explosion of short-form content? Today, we've got some of the top content creators to help you navigate the ever-changing world of content creation. In this one, Tanmay Bhat returns to the podcast for the 3rd time! He's worn many hats over his long journey, from a TV writer to a comedian to an ad maker, integrating all those skills across his social media platforms. Ranveer Allahbadia, aka BeerBiceps, started off by educating people about fitness and has evolved to having deep discussions about topics he's curious about through his podcast. He's a natural at making people feel comfortable and getting them to open up (as I've experienced on his podcast). We're also joined by Prajakta Koli, who's carved out her own unique space in the world of content creation, with her work extending from social media to OTT platforms and even Bollywood! And Nuseir Yassin of Nas Daily, known for making 1,000 one-minute videos in 1,000 days, is now also transitioning into the offline world with events, experiences, & businesses for his community. Skills, tools, or nuances, we got it all covered. #NikhilKamath: Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon & Gruhas Follow Nikhil here: Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Koo https://www.kooapp.com/profile/Nikhilkamath #TanmayBhat: Co-Founder of AIB, Comedian, Content Creator, & Investor Follow Tanmay Here: Twitter https://twitter.com/thetanmay Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tanmaybhat/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tanmaycomedy/ Linkedin https://in.linkedin.com/in/thetanmay Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/tanmay316 #RanveerAllahbadia (Beer Biceps): Content Creator, Podcast Host, and Co-Founder of Monk Entertainment, Level Supermind, and BigBrainCo.

It's easier to set up an arms factory than to sell a sandwich or a drink. This reflects the hidden complexity the restaurant world possesses. As Indians we are culturally inclined to want options when it comes to our food, we go to multicuisine restaurants with our families, cafés with our work friends, fine dining for our dates, and pubs with our friends! We judge the AC temperature, the music, the food, the waiter, the cutlery, and everything in between. This involves not only recipe building but also mastering technology, marketing, interior design, and much more. With this episode, we will walk you through a checklist of crucial decisions to start and thrive in this space. We have with us Riyaaz Amlani, best known for his brands like SOCIAL, Smoke House Deli, & Boss Burgers; Zorawar Kalra, famous for his appearances on Masterchef and his brands like Farzi Cafe, Masala Library, & Pa Pa Ya; Pooja Dhingra, renowned for Le15, known for their macaroon; currently a judge in Masterchef India and an author.

Roughly 60% of India's population is under the age of 30. To cater to the next generation, we brought together these four young high achievers - Navya Naveli, Zepto Brothers, and Tara Sutaria to provide nuanced insights into the future trends and the impact of a top-down approach to influence. For those seeking to develop solutions or build products for India's emerging demographic, this episode will give you a comprehensive overview of this generation's mindset. #NikhilKamath: Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Follow Nikhil here: Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin https://in.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Koo https://www.kooapp.com/profile/Nikhilkamath #AaditPalicha : Co-Founder & CEO of Zepto Follow Aadit here: Twitter https://twitter.com/aadit_palicha Instagram https://www.instagram.com/a.palicha/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aadit.palicha.9 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/aadit-palicha/ #KaivalyaVohra: Co-Founder & CTO of Zepto Follow Kaivalya here: Twitter https://twitter.com/v0hra Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kaivalyavohra/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/100012626226933 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaivalya-vohra #NavyaNaveliNanda: Founder of Project Naveli & Co-Founder of Aara Health Follow Navya here: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/navyananda/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/navyanavelinanda/ Navya's Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@navyanavelinanda #Tarasutaria: Bollywood Actor & Singer Twitter: https://twitter.com/tarasutaria Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarasutaria/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/TaraSutaria/100057211939870/ #trends #youth #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #consumption #ecommerce #groceries #zepto #marketing #socialmedia #influencer #millennials #genZ
Roughly 60% of the Indian population is under the age of 30 and hence the coolness funnel tends to be top-down. This is the segment that everyone will be building for. The consumption trends and behavioral patterns we hear here from these 4 accomplished people will likely remain relevant over the next decade. We have Navya - who's an unlikely grounded person one usually wouldn't assume, the precocious Zepto Brothers - where what stands out more than everything else is the bond 2 guys who met in the 6th-grade share with each other, and Tara - an outsider who paved her way into the very inside world of Bollywood. The transient nature of younger folks when it comes to housing/transport/ownership/vocation/fashion/shopping and the shorter attention spans are very different to someone like me who spends 8 hours watching a cricket match for example. Biases aside, there is so much to learn here! #NikhilKamath: Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Follow Nikhil here: Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Linkedin https://in.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Koo https://www.kooapp.com/profile/Nikhilkamath #AaditPalicha : Co-Founder & CEO of Zepto Follow Aadit here: Twitter https://twitter.com/aadit_palicha Instagram https://www.instagram.com/a.palicha/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aadit.palicha.9 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/aadit-palicha/ #KaivalyaVohra: Co-Founder & CTO of Zepto Follow Kaivalya here: Twitter https://twitter.com/v0hra Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kaivalyavohra/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/100012626226933 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaivalya-vohra #NavyaNaveliNanda: Founder of Project Naveli & Co-Founder of Aara Health Follow Navya here: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/navyananda/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/navyanavelinanda/ Navya's Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@navyanavelinanda #TaraSutaria: Bollywood Actor & Singer Follow Tara here: Twitter https://twitter.com/tarasutaria Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarasutaria/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/people/Tara-Sutaria/100057211939870/ Timestamps (00:00) - Intro (02:05) - Zepto Bros Arrive (04:00) - Story of Zepto Bros (06:28) - Stanford Dropout Tale (07:29) - KiranaKart Beginning (09:31) - Dark Stores & 1st Funding (12:02) - Cracking Sales as Techies (13:35) - Zepto's Sales Growth (14:30) - Y Combinator & Hurdles (17:45) - Series A & Beyond (20:19) - Grocery Economics (23:31) - Navya's Unconventional Choices (27:07) - Navya on Privilege & Goals (31:51) - Navya's Reflections (39:08) - Tara's Artistic Childhood (40:10) - Disney to Bollywood- Tara's Story (43:51) - Unveiling Bollywood's Reality (45:10) - Flaws in Movie Business (46:10) - Changing Taste of Audience (47:46) - Tara's Upcoming Film (49:10) - Tara's Dream Project (50:20) - Who is Tara, really?

Indian market might have hit $3 trillion with respect to market cap and is on the verge of hitting record highs, but Nikhil Kamath, one of India's youngest self-made billionaires remains cautious and remain 60% hedged in his fund, he told us in a D-Street Talk podcast. Kamath who is also a Co-founder and CIO, True Beacon and Zerodha said that we are not adding significant long positions at this point in time, and are ensuring that we have sufficient hedges at play each time we add a longer build on our Long's. Edited excerpts:- Q) We are on the verge of crossing previous record highs, and the star performers are mid & smallcaps which touched record highs. BSE Mcap touched $ 3 trn mark. Does the euphoria make you cautious or bullish at current levels? A) We continue to remain cautious. As a fund, we have in fact increased our hedging component from 50% to 60%. There is a lot of pain on the ground, and stock prices have not been reflecting the actual pain for a long time. We have continued to remain hedged. But, we continue with our conviction of prices being expensive, and we will retain hedges of 50% to 60% in the foreseeable future as well. Q) What is the kind of COVID impact you have seen on the AIF industry? A) Last month was bad. April, March was very slow, but May seems to be a lot better for us. Investors are not keen on investing at this point in time. Investors are coming in May, but they didn't come in April as well as March. But, if you were to look at the market activity and how the rally has continued, people are bullish. I think they're (investors) are looking beyond the pandemic. They are considering a scenario where we are Corona-free. And, if we were to mimic the West in a certain way, where they're seeing increased consumption after opening up, investors could be playing that theme.Q) Tell us more about First Operational Hedge Fund for Strategic Global Investors in India. A) It went live about a fortnight ago now. True Beacon Global, it's a fund based out of GIFT City in Gujarat. It has favorable taxation and is very attractive for foreign investors looking to invest in India. It removes the middlemen in many ways such as countries that are generally sitting in between like Singapore or Mauritius or Luxembourg. Traditionally, foreign investors picked to come into the country through these feeder vehicles, which were these countries. But, now the government has done away with the inefficiencies around them coming in directly. Going forward, they should bring a lot more foreign institutional money into India, and directly.Q) Any ballpark number that you have in mind? A) In our fund, we're expecting say Rs 1,000 crores to start off within the next 6 to 12 months. But, as an industry, we are the first fund to be operational in GIFT City. Slowly more people will come in there and replicate and start their own funds. So, as a jurisdiction, I think it will bring many billions of dollars into the public equity ecosystem in India.Q) Re-opening of economies in western countries are lifting hopes of global economic recovery. In India as well, fall in cases has also lifted sentiment of gradual opening up of states. How should one play the unlock trade? A) If you were to follow patterns globally, hotels are doing very well, travel is doing well, restaurants are doing well. Consumer spending is doing well. I would expect a lot of the same to be mimicked in India. So, buying domestic businesses which are in these sectors could be a good idea. Consumer spending which has artificially stayed low because of the pandemic and stores being shut -- I think there will be a significant spike. So, you could think of anything from a PVR because people will want to go to the movies more. In the restaurant chain, people might go back and favor auto companies and buy a lot of automobiles. So, all of these sectors I think can be played in a post-pandemic trade. Q) What is your investment mantra during turbulent times like these? What is the secret formulae which you use while picking stocks even when there is uncertainty? A) Well, we continue to hold a capital preservation outlook. We are focused on the fact that even today, even with the pain on the ground markets are frothy at 40 times multiples. We are not adding significant long positions at this point in time. We are ensuring that we have sufficient hedges at play each time we add a longer build on our Long's. And, I guess for us as a fund where capital preservation is the most important criteria we will continue to invest in that manner.

NIKHIL KAMATH is India's young billionaire, according to Forbes. His wealth and success is driven by his huge success in India's fledgling financial services industry. Nikhil is the co-founder of India's biggest brokerage firm Zerodha, as well as True Beacon, a wealth management company for wealthy investors worldwide. Zerodha, started in 2010 with "the goal of breaking all barriers that traders and investors face in India in terms of cost, support, and technology." Zerodha says it has over five million clients generating millions of daily orders, generating more than 15 percent of all retail trading volumes in India. Kamath, who dropped out of school at 15, grew up in a middle class family with a banker father and music teacher mother. A former chess champion he worked at a call center in his youth and a stockbroking company for three years, saving up a princely sum of about $190,000. Nikhil's companies have responded to the the Covid-19 crisis in India with humanitarian relief efforts that include ambulance services. He said the crisis is real and tragic and has touched many lives. Every possible relief effort must be made as a matter of urgency to help the sick and ailing during this crisis in India. But he also notes that the full scale of the tragedy is misrepresented in the media from the global reporting to local reports. "The truth lies in between somewhere," he told a reporter.
