Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys.
Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.
We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.

Three Months ago, there were 25k Subscribers and Now They are Very much Close to 1Lakh. It has Quadrapuled(4x). Its like a Funded Startup's Revenue 😂 Growing at a very Rapid Pace. But the Funding here is not the money its the Hard Work you Guys are Putting. This Show Really Deserves More and More Attention. It's the most Ahead of Time Show. And btw i am Not Writing these things to get validation. I Genuinely feel so. I have seen this show growing and i am Very Much Happy. Bcoz shows like these will create that Entrepreneurship Boom in India (just like Shark Tank is doing), which India needs the most, instead of UPSC Boom in which India is stucked at right now.

59:37 : Kartik Reddy Once mentioned that he got a phenomenal entrepreneur very early on : Gaurav Munjal(Dragon🙂) And Now Unacademy has the Power to return money equivalent to Fund Size😅. And my Favourite Person/My Hero Roman Saini is also a co-founder in that company and i am waiting for their IPO now so that i can buy some shares. By the way Great Podcast. Bring Kartik Reddy as well next time.

I've just binge-watched this. The podcast felt like a 300-page book in itself, filled with numerous insights and demonstrating how a VC job is the highest level of Intellectual Sales. Every minute was packed with insights.

Period of sanctions were pre 2000 event, looks like that is mentioned wrongly from minute 7.43. - United States imposed sanctions as required by law following 1998 nuclear tests. Sanctions imposed by the United States were weakened through exceptions and lifted within a year
