Deepi in for podcasts- Grapevine

Every random founder is now a guru of some sort trying to monetise their content. I used to really look forward to stories from indian founders and their journeys. Hardly any founder is genuine.

We really need some podcasts like a16z, acquired, brand wars for real insights/stories. I can only think of think school which is doing podcasts/videos closer to the firangi ones.

Any podcast recommendations which you did not find faffy or global gyaani?

NextLevel, a failed product that did not work as expected has launched an absolute random Podcast Series. 

I think when founders lose their sense of direction, they start doing random experiments. 


Also, the lady in this post has been popular for burning company money in random projects at brands like Zomato, Wework and now doing the same thing at Graphy and Unacademy. I wonder how do such people even get hired.

Any comments ?

Launching Random Podcasts just to stay relevant.

After Shark Tank, we have seen Indian Angels and StartAb but I believe the actual problem is still not being solved. Tbh, more than 90% of companies shown in these TV shows are more like businesses rather than startups with not so unique MOAT or tech platforms. Moreover, they are about funding businesses that are already revenue generating and negotiating equity deals with half of the show time is all about equity negotiations only.

Still there are many with some unique ideas in tech landscape who are in search of Tech Co-founders to build the platform and many couldn't find one resulting in not starting their startup. What are your thoughts on a new show completely for Aspiring Entrepreneurs with unique ideas in tech with no revenue or product most for ones seeking help in building product/tech and stories where even an investment of Rs. 1 lakh can bring a big difference bcz even without that 1 lakh they could have never turned that idea into MVP and start that journey

Dear VCs which HOT idea spaces are underserved ?

Senior Product Manager

Startup founders have started coming to podcasts or they themselves started podcasts just to be in limelight, talk all about positives and planning for IPOs.
I have never seen these founders are asked about recent layoffs, removing benefits to employees or not making any profits at all.
