I admire the customer-obsession of this man, Akash!
Must appreciate Arnav for a great question line-up, leading a natural conversation.
Kudos team, Scaler!

[@SCALER]

Happy to hear that! 🙌🏼

Watched this last year. Today, its IPL 2023 final, I thought lets see what Akash is doing these days and realised that he has joined Jio Cinema within one month of this video.. Wow!
So he has built a beast twice now! Great!

[@prajwal_3722]

I love how Akash just casually relates the situautions to the movie plots, Loved his narration BTW; also Arnav Great Podcast.

[@ArnavGupta]

Thanks Prajwal!

[@krishnapramod1729]

Great podcast in general and fantastic to hear Akash. Least favourite part is when Akash is trying to do a nice explanation but the host is trying to rush him (example 46th min).
He's explaining for the viewers Arnav, not for you. Please let your guests make their points even if you understand the concept.

Hey, this is a great podcast, but I have just one suggestion as soon you start delving deeper into technical aspects, can you include explainer text for the technical term/domain being discussed below like subtitles, like shark tank India had these explainer side bit videos by an individual shark. (something similar to that effect)
I know this podcast is for tech people, but doing this will help you increase the subscriber base, attract new audience and increase entry-level funnel.Basically will help people that are sort of technical but not completely but still want to listen without the need to pause and google a particular term like 'lookback', 'encoding a frame', 'concurring distribution' etc.

[@ArnavGupta]

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll try doing that in the future

[@yt-mohit-1618]

Makes sense

[@SCALER]

Hi Girdhar, thank you for writing in. We appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. We have made a note of them and we'll surely share them internally with our team. Thank you!

[@hy32906]

I always thought Disney engineers in US are behind this awesome streaming technology. Great talk. Eager to find what is tech stack behind this.

[@SCALER]

Thanks! Keep an eye out for more such videos! 😃

[@workertester4622]

Java SpringBoot Mingodb, Kafka etc. They have this tech stack.

[@ishankrsingh]

When are we going to have multiple profiles in Hotstar just like other OTT platforms ? Great podcast, btw.

[@protyaybanerjee5051]

Arnav seems to have done his bit of research regarding video streaming before hosting the podcast!

[@techworld3043]

I will watch all these talks, amazing scaler.
