  • In this episode, we bring marquee investors, the OGs of the venture world. Learn what venture capital is, what works and what doesn't, and their learnings from many decades of funding the startup ecosystem in India.
    I am sure it will be as insightful as an entire college semester for many. So do feel free to grab your notepad to soak up all the knowledge.
    This is, by far, the most in-depth episode we have done and this will give you insights not only into funding but also into the ongoing macro view of the world of business, investments, and finance in general.

    Some notes I took (nothing related to the technicalities of What is a VC/PE/Angel/Seed and several other terms which are very well covered in the podcast)
    After a very traumatic event, you become either hateful or grateful.
    You can’t teach the drive the hunger.
    People who come from nothing and have a point to prove, they generally tend to be the ones that … (make it big)
    Middle class but great education, supportive parents - a way to judge the winning selection
    Nikhil takes up topic: Does hardwork really matter even today?
    Nithin: Zerodha started in 2010, all our success came in 2016 - So today of course we can have all the 5 days a week but it took them 6 years of excruciating work
    Nikhil goes on to add: I lived in my office for 6 years, like literally lived there, my bedroom was my cabin

Everyone has a different background and may also be already be engaged in other philanthropic endeavors.

    The podcast was not only informative, covering everything from the basics to real-life scenarios, but also impressive in how it posed challenging questions to the guests. Their in-depth knowledge of the venture they were discussing was evident, and their responses were absolutely fantastic.

    I was and am still clueless about the VC.. but the last 30 secs of this podcast was truly amazing..we got introduced to the 'inner child' of these dignified speakers and of course that genuine smile on their faces made my day already!! Guess only when you have a pure intent+ sheer passion+ commitment to your identity + direction from the universe + hunger for knowledge & exploring human side of the business you can produce a TRULY perdurable content like this. Kudos to this fantastic team. Lots of love & respect. God bless.

Must admit Nikhil with your simplicity and honesty you are setting the new standards for podcasters around the world. No wonder you will have Elon, Jeff, Sundar and Satya soon at your podcast. Also how about having world leader's of G20 summit😊

    I related to Nikhil when he said he would subconsciously pick Flipkart over Amazon because if I want to spend my money, it should be without a question to an Indian company. Not that I need to but I feel more comfortable with that.
    The problem is that I lost my trust with Flipkart customer service many a times before I finally switched to Amazon half heartedly. I don't regret it now.

  • @karanazad9125
    @karanazad9125 7 місяців тому +2

    What I have realised is Nikhil has its own narrative around the topic before discussion and tries and forces conversation around that narrative. One shouldn't focus on a outcome of discussion and should explore others beliefs instead.

    I have been listen to these WFT of yours for hours now. Watched 2 today (Saturday, so its an off for me) and that means around 5 hours of listening. These 5 hours have really opened my brain up and changed the outlook for me on Global economy and business side of the human existence. In other words, how money works on a larger scale.
    This is a great way to learn many things for a budding entrepreneur in his initial years. I wish it was there when I was in college completing my BBA. I am currently working in a U.K based Asset Management Company.

    Such great Insights and so much value add. Unfortunately hardly any views or comments to people who create business, employment and livelihood for hundreds if not thousands of people.

    I really appreciated the part where he spoke aboout trauma in life and about how you can either be grateful or hateful. I too recently went through my own trauma in life and i think i have become a bit of both. Yes, i am hateful in the sense that nothing really matters to me and I can at times be incorrigible to people close to me. But, I am also grateful and trying to break out of my shell in my own way Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Truly helpful to know you're not alone.

    VCs have given a launchpad to entrepreneurs and employment to some extent, but these are the same folks who are hand in glove with them as well. I remember the time when at our startup we slogged our butts off to scale, raised funding and grew valuation - and then these folks come in and tell the founders the team isn't good enough. To top it all, they tell founders to hold off salary increments during pandemic after record company growth. Got to look at the black and white both. This episode is all white

    You ask the right questions and truth be told even if a podcast was 6hrs long it would feel like a 5 min watch !
    If and ever you are in Goa next I would love to meet you and hope we could discuss the next big thing.

    I'd recommend not revealing how much each person is willing to commit to charity, but only reveal the total to audience. While this strategy might receive lesser money, panellists are more likely to leave with a sweeter aftertaste.

    There's hardly any financial podcasts/ videos I find that are informative because half of those people sound to have mugged up a book and have no real insight into the market.

Thanks Nikhil for educating INDIA for free !! Respect ++
