His insights on business, current market and founder’s mindset will give you an in-depth tour of how the business world works.

His story is truly inspiring but this episode is not just about his story, it's about how he helped many big brands become big. We discussed why two founders having a similar business, similar situation, no degrees yet one gets funding and one gets rejected,what are some crucial factors that investors consider before investing in one’s company. We also talked about an interesting topic which is ‘Founder’s Mindset’ and its crucial role in the future of any business, what are some key factors and how one can develop those. He also shared the one thing that differentiates a successful founder from the rest, which 99% of people get totally wrong.
Towards the end, we also discussed some of the most successful brands like Physics Wallah, Sugar Cosmetics and Plix. We broke down for you each brand’s founder’s mindset, their qualities that helped them build such successful brands and lessons you can learn from them. We also discussed the reality of Lawyers in India and how much do different lawyers earn on an average in India. We ended this episode with discussing the next big opportunities in different sectors of India and how the mindset of Indian consumers is going to change over the next few years. This episode is a goldmine for all the founders, future founders and people who love to learn how business works and grows over time.

Lessons from this podcast:- 1. Founder mindset is what that build brand, value and run company 2. Never burn investor money 3. Never handover company's big decisions to investor untill and unless you want it 4. A/c to vinayak sir next big oppurtunity in india is Agritech, Ev & battery, and consumer market At the end lesson is what matter most :)

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

you’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner

I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

Raj bhai enjoyed the entire podcast. And always wonder when you'll start calling the more guys indirectly connected to the startup ecosystem, but they're the company's backbone. In addition, today's guest is incredible, and just for fun, I wanted to mention that you haven't responded to my comments in the past. Always learning from you, always a pleasure to learn with you. Love you 3000 ♥♥♥

I have one idea for making podcast more interactable with audience , why dont you just put a community post of upcoming guest and ask audience if they would be there on your place what would they ask to guest ,like this pick some around 5 good questions of audience and ask those question in between of the podcast with the name who as asked in this process audience will be watching with extra energy every podcast with the thinking 'is my question selected or not?'.
