Send us a textVikram's journey from health crisis to blockchain pioneer offers a masterclass in resilient entrepreneurship. After being bedridden with spondylitis in 2004, he launched what would become India's largest blockchain consulting firm out of necessity, not grand ambition. Today, that decision has evolved into a 700-person operation transforming how we think about blockchain implementation across industries.The conversation reveals Vikram's entrepreneurial philosophy centered on three critical factors: hunger (which must come intrinsically), humility, and smartness. Coming from modest beginnings and losing his father at 12, Vikram chose not to attend college to avoid burdening his mother—instead combining self-taught skills in design, technology, and content to forge his unique path.What truly distinguishes NTR Solutions is their revolutionary approach to talent acquisition. Rather than competing for graduates from elite institutions, they identify individuals with positive attitudes and invest in developing their technical skills. "Skills can always be taught as long as you have the right attitude," explains Vikram, defining the ideal attitude as "the ability to embrace challenges without losing enthusiasm."The company's blockchain innovations span multiple sectors, from user-friendly digital wallets to their groundbreaking solution for preventing question paper leaks in government exams—a chronic problem across many Asian countries. This blockchain-powered system has already made history in India by enabling trustless exam paper creation without human intervention.Beyond building products, Vikram's vision extends to transforming his home base of Mohali into "the blockchain capital of India," creating educational pathways for local talent to thrive in this emerging technology. His perspective on leadership—"It's not like you are employing team members; first you are employed to them"—reveals why his approach has succeeded where others have faltered in the volatile blockchain space.Support the show

Vikram Bharati, founder of Draper Startup House, and Jeremy Au talked about how the startup world has shifted since their last conversation. They explored how Draper Startup House has expanded across continents while wrestling with the challenge of scaling both physical spaces and community-driven programming. They discussed how remote and hybrid work are evolving post-pandemic, and how startups are adapting faster than large corporations. They also reflected on parenting and preparing the next generation for a fast-changing world, where original thinking and adaptability may matter more than credentials. Vikram also shared his growing interest in “digital nations,” a concept that could reshape how governments serve people and how individuals relate to borders and institutions. 1. Scaling Draper Startup House globally: Vikram shares that Draper Startup House has grown to 15 locations across South America, India, and Korea, focused on building startup communities in adventurous and underserved places. 2. Finding the right people as a challenge: The model combines real estate ("hardware") and startup programming ("software"), which requires local leaders who can do both—something that's tough to find consistently. 3. Remote work is here to stay: Vikram believes the post-pandemic world has made flexible work a permanent reality, especially for startups and global teams like his, which now span the US, Brazil, India, Portugal, and more. 4. Hybrid models work best: The trend he sees is a mix of in-person and remote work—typically two or three days in the office—which balances productivity and employee satisfaction. 5. Parenting in a changing world: Both Jeremy and Vikram reflect on raising young kids today, and how future success may depend more on adaptability and creativity than traditional credentials or schooling. 6. Unique perspectives come from unplugging: Vikram suggests that stepping outside the common information feed is one way to build original thinking—especially as everyone now consumes the same digital content. 7. Digital nations as the next frontier: Vikram outlines his interest in building “digital nations”—online systems that provide government-like services and community without being bound to geography, potentially expanding opportunity beyond borders.

A new Director Series at The Other BananaWe have long debated a series on director Bala. You could say that Bala is not Bala anymore and his films are increasingly becoming difficult to meaningfully engage with but, the Bala 1999-2010 was something else.A new voice broke out in Tamil cinema in 1999 with Sethu. One of the several assistants of Balu Mahendra who will go on to make a mark in the following years, Bala ushered in an auterist sensibility with unique technique, point of view, characters and settings. The Bala universe was instantly recognizable.In the first of the series, we begin with his debut in 1999 which not only kickstarted his career but also redeemed Vikram's career and pushed him into stardom. With one film, a new star actor as well as a star director were born. Listen on.ParticipantsAdityaAnanthaHariEdited by Anantha

Chandigarh is the shared capital city of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, built under the leadership of modernist and brutalist architect Le Corbusier, as an emblem of the postcolonial Indian nation state as visualized by the first Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It was a repudiation of the imperialist architectural style, and for Le Corbusier a personal revenge project after his dissatisfactions with how he was treated during his planning for the United Nations building in New York. Vikramaditya Parakash says that it is a misconception that Chandigarh was built as a blueprint for a future utopia, when in fact it was built as a city where multiple ideas of futurity are put into play. Dr. Vikramaditya Prakash (B.Arch, MA, Phd) works on modernism, postcoloniality and global history. Recent books include One Continuous Line: Art, Architecture and Urbanism of Aditya Prakash and Le Corbusier's Chandigarh Revisited: Preservation as Future Modernism. An ACSA Distinguished Professor, Vikram teaches at University of Washington, Seattle, is host of the ArchitectureTalk podcast, and co-design lead of O(U)R: Office of (Un)certainty Research.

What if the financial hurdles of running an e-commerce business — like cash flow struggles, banking complexities, and sales tax headaches — could be simplified into one seamless platform? In today's episode of the Tearsheet podcast, our guest Vikram Anreddy, head of product for financial services at Shopify, addresses just that. He discusses how the platform is addressing the financial needs of e-commerce entrepreneurs. His experience stems from roles at companies like Instagram and McKinsey. Anreddy is passionate about creating tools, especially the ones that ease the financial struggles of small business owners.   “Entrepreneurship is such a tough game,” Anreddy says. “The odds of success are very low, and there's so much friction.” He explains that Shopify is focused on reducing friction for e-commerce merchants. The company builds tailored solutions to help them succeed. Shopify Finance helps manage cash flow and simplify sales tax. It provides tools designed for small business owners. This lets them focus on their craft, not administrative tasks. Anreddy details how Shopify Finance integrates deeply into the platform's ecosystem. This allows merchants to manage their finances where they already operate their businesses. He also sheds light on innovative offerings like Shopify Capital Loans and Shopify Balance. These cater to the unique needs of small businesses. “Our goal is to stretch cash flows and end unnecessary complexities for our merchants,” Anreddy notes. Shopify Finance: A suite of tools for e-commerce merchants Shopify Finance addresses a critical pain point for merchants: managing their money. Traditional banking solutions often fail to cater to the unique needs of e-commerce entrepreneurs. This offers limited access to credit and complex processes. “Even opening a business bank account is hard for individual entrepreneurs,” Anreddy shares. The tech firm fills this gap with offerings like Shopify Balance, an alternative to traditional business banking. Merchants enjoy faster payouts, APY rewards, and seamless integrations. Tackling cash flow management with Shopify Capital loans Cash flow is a common challenge for small businesses, especially those managing inventory. Shopify Capital provides merchants with quick access to funds, enabling them to restock inventory or invest in growth opportunities. Since its launch in 2016, Shopify Capital has disbursed over $5 billion in funding. “It has become the rocket fuel for many of our merchants,” Anreddy highlights. He emphasizes the product's impact on reducing cash flow constraints. Building merchant-centric financial tools Shopify Finance products are designed with a deep understanding of merchants' needs. They are derived from constant feedback and data insights. The platform integrates financial tools directly into its admin panel for ease. Features like APY rewards are designed to help merchants thrive. “Our merchants are incredibly driven and curious,” Anreddy says. “They adopt new tools quickly, which makes it easier to build for them.” Future of Shopify Financial Services Looking ahead, the platform plans to expand its financial services globally. It aims to integrate AI-driven insights to help merchants optimize their finances. “We are guided by two principles: stretch merchants' cash flows and save them time,” Anreddy shares. The company also aims to enhance cross-product integrations. It wants to ensure seamless work management of features like Shopify Balance, credit cards, and sales tax management. This will help to reduce friction for merchants.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Rohan's Illuminating Journey to Inner Peace in Rishikesh Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2024-11-20-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: रिशिकेश की घाटियों में सर्दियों की ठंडी हवाएं बह रही थीं।En: In the valleys of Rishikesh, the cold winter winds were flowing.Hi: गंगा नदी की मिठास और हल्की धूप ने माहौल को सुकूनदायक बना रखा था।En: The sweetness of the Ganga River and the mild sunlight had created a soothing atmosphere.Hi: यहाँ के एक शांत आश्रम में, रोहन अपने भीतर की अशांति को शांत करने की कोशिश कर रहा था।En: In a peaceful ashram there, Rohan was trying to calm the restlessness within him.Hi: हाल में ही उसे एक क्रॉनिक बीमारी का पता चला था, जिसने उसके जीवन को उलट-पलट कर दिया था।En: Recently, he had been diagnosed with a chronic illness, which had turned his life upside down.Hi: आने से पहले, रोहन की साथी अनिका ने बहुत प्रयास किया था कि रोहन इस आध्यात्मिक यात्रा पर चल सके।En: Before coming here, Rohan's partner Anika made great efforts to encourage him towards this spiritual journey.Hi: अनिका को विश्वास था कि यह यात्रा रोहन को उसकी स्थिति को समझने और स्वीकृति में मदद करेगी।En: Anika believed that this journey would help Rohan understand and accept his condition.Hi: आश्रम में आए कुछ दिन हो चुके थे, लेकिन रोहन का मन अभी भी अविश्वास से भरा हुआ था।En: A few days had passed since arriving at the ashram, but Rohan's mind was still filled with disbelief.Hi: विक्रम, जिन्होंने स्वयं भी अपनी कुछ स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं से जूझा था, एक अनुभवी और दयालु अध्यात्मिक गाइड थे।En: Vikram, who had himself battled some health issues, was an experienced and compassionate spiritual guide.Hi: उनकी ऊर्जा में एक विशेष शांति थी, जो किसी भी अशांत मन को शांति प्रदान कर सकती थी।En: There was a special calmness in his energy, capable of providing peace to any restless mind.Hi: उन्होंने रोहन से धीरे-धीरे बात करनी शुरू की और उसे विश्वास दिलाया कि हर चीज का समाधान आत्मा में छिपा होता है।En: He began talking to Rohan slowly and assured him that the solution to everything is hidden within the soul.Hi: दीवाली का समय नजदीक आ चुका था।En: The time of Diwali was approaching.Hi: आश्रम में चारों तरफ दीवाली की सजावट हो रही थी।En: The ashram was being adorned for the festival.Hi: दीपों की कतार और फूलों की महक ने एक अद्वितीय माहौल बना दिया था।En: The rows of lamps and the fragrance of flowers created a unique atmosphere.Hi: आमतौर पर जो पर्व उत्सव का प्रतीक होता है, वही रोहन के लिए चिंता का विषय बन गया था।En: The festival, which is typically a symbol of celebration, became a source of anxiety for Rohan.Hi: लेकिन इस बार उसने विक्रम की सलाह पर दीवाली के विशेष शुद्धिकरण अनुष्ठान में भाग लेने का निश्चय किया।En: But this time, he decided to participate in the special purifying ritual of Diwali, on Vikram's advice.Hi: रात होते ही, अनुष्ठान शुरू हुआ।En: As night fell, the ritual began.Hi: हल्की बासंती रौशनी और मंत्रों की ध्वनि ने रोहन को आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता अपनी ये वास्तविकता स्वीकार करने में मदद की।En: The soft, spring-like light and the sound of the chants helped Rohan gradually accept his reality.Hi: जैसा कि प्रत्येक अर्घ्य गंगा में चढ़ाया गया, रोहन ने अपनी व्यथित भावनाओं को धीरे-धीरे बहाने दिया।En: As each offering was made to the Ganga, Rohan slowly allowed his distressed emotions to flow away.Hi: अचानक एक भावनात्मक तूफान उसके अंदर उठा और उसके आँखों से अश्रु बहने लगे।En: Suddenly, an emotional storm rose within him, and tears started flowing from his eyes.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि वह अपनी बीमारी को एक विकट समस्या के रूप में देख रहा था, जबकि यह उसके आत्मविकास का एक हिस्सा भी हो सकता था।En: He realized that he was viewing his illness as a severe problem, when it could also be a part of his self-growth.Hi: रोहन को एक नया दृष्टिकोण प्राप्त हुआ - न कि केवल अपनी बीमारी के प्रति, बल्कि अपनी पूरी जीवन जीने की विधि के प्रति।En: Rohan gained a new perspective—not only towards his illness but also towards his entire way of living life.Hi: रात के अंत में, दीपक की मद्धिम रोशनी में, रोहन को एक अद्वितीय शांति का अनुभव हुआ।En: By the end of the night, in the dim light of the lamps, Rohan experienced a unique peace.Hi: अनिका ने उसे गले लगाया और कहा, "तुमने सच में एक नई शुरुआत की है।En: Anika hugged him and said, "You have truly made a new beginning."Hi: " विक्रम भी पास खड़े मुस्कुरा रहे थे।En: Vikram was also standing nearby, smiling.Hi: उस पल में, रोहन ने जाना कि असली ताक़त स्वीकार्यता में है और हर स्थिति के भीतर ही उसका समाधान छिपा है।En: In that moment, Rohan realized that true strength lies in acceptance, and the solution to every situation is hidden within it.Hi: यूं दीवाली की रौशनी में रोहन ने अपनी नई यात्रा की शुरुआत की।En: Thus, in the light of Diwali, Rohan began his new journey.Hi: अब वह शांत था और अपने हर पल का स्वागत करने के लिए तैयार था।En: Now he was calm and ready to welcome every moment of his life.
