In this episode, Julia speaks with Ragini Das co-founder of Leap Club, a community of over 25,000 women — about how to combine ego and empathy in leading. Ragini shares why she refuses to see ego as a “dirty word.” For her, ego is self-belief — the conviction that fuels courage, creativity, and resilience. It's what helps you dream big and keep going when the odds are against you. But she also insists that ego alone isn't enough. Without empathy, you lose connection, trust, and perspective. The conversation explores how empathy keeps people with you — as team members, collaborators, or community members — by listening, responding, and leading with honesty. Ragini reflects on moments of building and eventually pausing Leap Club, and how trust, transparency, and care shaped every decision along the way. Together, Julia and Ragini unpack what it means to lead online communities, balance ambition with compassion, and make tough calls with integrity. Ragini leaves us with a striking reminder: “Ego pushes you forward. Empathy keeps people with you.” And perhaps most powerfully — that real leading is about being ambitious not just for yourself, but for others too. About the guest: Ragini Das is the Head of Google for Startups in India and the co-founder of Leap.club, a women-first professional network that grew to over 25,000 members. She previously spent six years at Zomato leading growth and international market launches. Recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, Ragini is known for building communities that balance ambition with authenticity and for championing women who do the same.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump Turns on India at UN Donald Trump used the UNGA stage to take two direct swipes at India. First, he boasted yet again about “stopping a war” between India and Pakistan — angling for that Nobel Peace Prize. India clarified it halted Operation Sindoor at Pakistan's request, not Washington's. Then came the sharper blow: accusing India and China of “funding Putin's war” by buying Russian oil. Tariffs on Indian imports are already at 50%, with threats of more to come. Modi has stayed silent, while Shashi Tharoor called Trump's moves “mercurial” — unpredictable today, possibly favorable tomorrow. Kerala Battles Brain-Eating Amoeba Kerala confirmed 80 cases and 21 deaths from amoebic meningoencephalitis, caused by Naegleria fowleri. It spreads when contaminated freshwater enters the nose. Authorities stress seawater, tap water, and chlorinated pools are safe. The state's focus is aggressive testing and chlorination, which is helping save lives. India's First Defence Plant in Africa Rajnath Singh inaugurated Tata's new defence facility in Morocco — India's first in Africa. The plant will produce WhAP 8x8 armoured vehicles for Morocco's Royal Army. More than a “Make in India” story, this is about India exporting defence technology and creating a global footprint. H-1B Hurdles Get Higher The US Homeland Security Dept plans to revamp the H-1B system, favoring higher-paid applicants over random selection. Coupled with Trump's $100,000 visa fee, this creates steep barriers for Indian engineers, especially entry-level talent. Swiggy Cashes Out of Rapido Swiggy sold its entire Rapido stake for ₹2,400 crore to Prosus and WestBridge, booking nearly 2.5x returns. Ironically, Rapido is now launching its own food delivery arm to rival Swiggy and Zomato. The windfall helps Swiggy offset heavy losses despite surging revenues. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lenskart is gearing up for a nearly $1 billion IPO after closing FY25 on a strong note with ₹6,652 crore in revenue and ₹297 crore in profit. What's even more impressive is that almost 40% of that revenue now comes from its more than 600 stores outside India, rare feat for an Indian consumer brand.Unlike peers such as Zomato and Ola that stumbled in global markets, Lenskart has taken a slow-and-steady approach, leaning on selective acquisitions, smart investments, and joint ventures to expand abroad. At the heart of its success is a vertically integrated supply chain that gives the company pricing power, agility in launching new products, and the ability to deliver consistent quality no matter the geography.

In a recent, 10-page note recapping its investing journey, Info Edge (India) founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani proudly, and justifiably, called Zomato and Policybazaar “breakout successes”, “winners”, and “outliers”.A few days earlier, Zomato, now renamed Eternal, had released its sobering financials for the three months ended March. So what's Infoedge doing about it? Apart from its own businesses – spanning recruitment, real estate, matrimony and education – it owns roughly 12.5% each of Eternal and PB Fintech, the parent of insurance marketplace Policybazaar, and has not sold a single share in either since they started trading.The reason is simple and it was stated in its shareholders letter. It wants to be strategic and not opportunistic about existing businesses because it sees itself as a long term investor and not some trader. The thing is, not everyone is on the same page. Tune in.

En quatre ans, le chiffre d'affaires des géants de la livraison explose. Il est passé de cent millions à six milliards de dollars. Et ce n'est qu'un début : il pourrait grimper jusqu'à quarante milliards d'ici à 2030. Mais derrière cette croissance fulgurante, des coulisses moins reluisantes du secteur : livreurs précaires, petits commerçants fragilisés. Ils filent à toute allure dans le chaos des routes encombrées de New Delhi. T-shirts rouges, oranges, assortis aux scooters. Dans leurs gros sacs : des fruits, un ordinateur, une robe… n'importe quoi peut être livré en moins de dix minutes. Naveen, lui, brave les 45 degrés sans s'arrêter. Il enchaîne les courses, infatigable. Une cinquantaine déjà, rien que cet après-midi. « C'est très difficile. Je n'ai pas vraiment de revenus. Les primes sont très faibles, par exemple 24 livraisons me rapportent seulement quatre ou dix euros. Ce n'est rien du tout. Si une meilleure opportunité se présente à l'avenir, je laisse tomber ce travail de livraison. Je veux trouver un emploi plus stable, moins fatigant. Parce qu'avec la chaleur, la pollution… c'est vraiment difficile ». Le succès des livraisons rapides a aussi ses revers. Les petits commerçants de rue, comme Navratan, qui tient un stand de fruits et légumes en bord de route, en ressentent les effets : « C'est vrai qu'on subit des pertes à cause des ventes en ligne. Et en ce moment, c'est surtout la chaleur qui nous pose problème : les produits s'abîment plus vite. La vente en ligne nous impacte déjà beaucoup, mais avec cette chaleur, les marchandises se détériorent encore plus. On perd beaucoup de ventes à cause de tout ça. Et qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire ? Ça nous affecte énormément. On n'arrive même plus à travailler correctement ». Pour Satish Meena, spécialiste des questions de consommation, le boom économique de ces plateformes de livraisons rapides s'explique principalement par l'implantation de « dark store », ces magasins fermés au public, utilisés exclusivement pour préparer des commandes en ligne : « Les clients sont désormais prêts à mettre le prix pour ce service. Les consommateurs sont passés des commerçants de quartier aux "dark stores". Ces "dark stores" permettent de mieux contrôler les stocks, de préparer les commandes plus rapidement, et d'avoir une visibilité en temps réel sur les produits disponibles. Le taux de satisfaction de la commande chez Zomato est aujourd'hui de 99,9 %. Les clients reçoivent presque toujours ce qu'ils commandent ». En Inde, la Confédération des commerçants, qui représente près de 90 millions de petites entreprises, appelle à un mouvement de protestation nationale contre la prolifération des « dark stores ».

Four months ago, food delivery giant Zomato decided to run an experiment. If you are a regular patron of the app, you may have noticed a tab called ‘Quick' appear, that promised 15-minute deliveries in a bunch of metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Now, the company's founder and CEO made an interesting statement last year that explains why it would choose to try out this experiment. He was asked a question about how quick commerce has changed customer expectations around food delivery. And he said, quite simply – “Blinkit is fast, but that has made Zomato seem slow.” He has a point. You may recall that Zomato subsidiary Blinkit launched its in-house 10-minute snack delivery service called Bistro last year, just one day after the very popular Zepto cafe was launched. Swiggy Instamart meanwhile, launched a similar service called Snacc. In many ways, 2024 was the year 10-minute food delivery became the next frontier of quick commerce.Naturally, the biggest food delivery giants in the country did not want to be left behind. So while Zomato launched Quick, Swiggy rolled out its own ultra-fast delivery service, Bolt. But here's where things get interesting. While announcing its Q4 results last week, Zomato announced that its four-month experiment was very quickly coming to an end. In a letter to shareholders, Deepinder Goyal explained that they just could not see a path to profitability without compromising on customer experience.The Ken's COO and the host of Two by Two Praveen Gopal Krishnan explains what changed. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Two founders lay down their journey so far of going global.First, there was the services wave of exports, led by Infosys and Wipro. Then, companies like Zomato, Oyo, and Ola tried to expand their operations globally. The third wave was headlined by SaaS companies like Freshworks and Zoho. What will the fourth wave of tech exports be?Our guests for this week, Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman and Lal Chand Bisu, co-founder of Kuku FM, have an answer to what it could be, and they are leading by example with their own companies at the front of this wave.Mohit shared about 95% of Ultrahuman's customers are from outside India. And their numbers speak for themselves. As for Kuku FM, till early 2024, almost 99% of their business was focused on the Indian diaspora. But they made a switch in 2024, on the back of generative AI, to cross Indian borders. And now, as it stands, the split between India and global is at 90 and 10, respectively, says Lal Chand Bisu.Both these companies are being led by second-time founders. One thing that kept coming up during the discussion was the multiple parallels across both of their companies, like their latecomer's advantage, leading the charge as ‘bear kids' in this economy, and building their business for the freedom and thrill of building a business on their choices.Over the course of the discussion, both Mohit Kumar and Lal Chand Bisu explained how their businesses have evolved over time from when they started to now and how they have scaled and reinvented themselves in this journey.Tune in and listen to episode 34 of Two by Two, hosted by Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar, as they discuss the hopes, challenges, and excitement surrounding the fourth wave of tech exports from India.-Sign up for The Ken's first subscriber event - https://theken.typeform.com/to/NUPj8HdZ-Additional reading:Kuku FM chooses not to be the hero in its own storyPocket FM had 10 million listeners in India.

Have you made a trip abroad to attend a live event in 2023 or 2024?Did you have the option of attending the same (or equivalent) event in India?Why did you choose not to attend the same event in India?These were the three main questions we posed to listeners of Two by Two in a recent survey to understand the biggest problems with hosting events—big or small—in India.Then we took all the people who said yes and looked at the events that they said they went outside India to attend even though options for it existed inside India. It had a lot of concerts comprising a long list of musicians. Dua Lipa in Singapore, Ed Sheeran in Malaysia and a sea of Coldplay because it's Coldplay season, Coldplay's concert in Singapore, Coldplay in Dubai, Coldplay in Barcelona, Coldplay in Thailand, Coldplay in Bangkok, Ben Böhmer who had performed in India in late December last year but people chose to attend his shows outside India instead.
