Data suggest that young folks under the age of 30 are spending a lot more time on social media and gaming and less time on TV and physical sports. In this episode, we have the CEO of Nazara Technologies,Krafton India and Lila Games, leaders in the Indian gaming space. We also have Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), a protagonist of the Indian gaming Industry,turning gaming into a full time career in india Given that gaming for young kids today is what cricket was for Indians back in the day, we explore how one can prepare to become a part of the gaming industry: By either becoming a gamer, understanding specific skills needed and channels of monetisation or by developing and publishing games, knowing how hiring in the gaming industry works and so on.In both of these cases, what remains common is specific skills and knowledge Given that the industry is still in its nascent stages in India, we compare and contrast the climate of the gaming industry across geographies, break down what physiological aspects and latent human desires which makes certain games tick. It could be chasing emotions, status or making progress along with the opportunities that we are primed to capitalise based on the current landscape of the gaming industry. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #AnimeshAgarwal l - CEO of 8bit Creatives Twitter: https://x.com/8bit_thug/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/8bitthug Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/8bit_thug/ #SeanHyunilSohn - CEO of Krafton India Twitter: https://twitter.com/hisohn?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-hyunil-sohn-1670216 #JosephKim - CEO of Lila Games Twitter : https://twitter.com/jokim1?lang=en/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jokim/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jokim1/ #NitishMittersain - CEO of Nazara Technology Twitter: https://twitter.com/mittersain/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mittersain/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nitishmittersain/

Ep #22 | WTF are Craft Beverages? Nikhil ft. the Founders of Blue Tokai, Subko, Svami, and Mossant 3:25:44

il y a environ 21 jours3:25:44

3:25:44

India has long been a tea-drinking nation, but in recent years, a new wave of craft beverage brands has started reshaping the way the country drinks. Specialty coffee, kombucha, and premium mixers are carving out space in an industry dominated by mass-produced options. While the demand for high-quality, homegrown beverages is growing, breaking into this space isn’t as easy as it looks. Import duties drive up costs, fragmented supply chains make scaling difficult, and price-sensitive consumers often hesitate to pay a premium. Unlike mass-market beverages, where marketing muscle can drive sales, craft brands have to build awareness, educate consumers, and create demand from scratch. In episode #22 of “WTF Is” Podcast, Nikhil Kamath sits down with some of the biggest names in India’s craft beverage industry—Rahul Reddy (Subko), Matt Chitharanjan (Blue Tokai), Aneesh Bhasin (Svami), and Adithya Kidambi (Mossant). They share their journey of navigating regulations, shifting consumer habits, and competing with legacy brands to bring high-quality, locally made beverages to the mainstream.

In this conversation, we seem to be headed towards more questions than answers.. but perhaps questions that need to be asked. Most importantly... Where is Health headed? In this episode of WTF is Podcast, we have Nithin, Prashanth, Jitendra, Seema and Bryan uncover many such questions/concerns, trying to determine what is next in this space of Heath & Longevity. As AI progresses, I wonder if tomorrow, an algorithm is built to tell us how to live our life the best... would we accept that integration? How far are we willing to go to live longer or perhaps "forever"? #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha and Gruhas Host of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' Podcast Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #NithinKamath - Founder, CEO Zerodha, RainmatterInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nithinkamath/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nithin.kamath/Twitter - https://x.com/Nithin0dhaLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nithin-kamath #BryanJohnson - Founder & CEO of BlueprintInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bryanjohnson_/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089952947799Twitter - https://x.com/bryan_johnsonLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanrjohnson/ #PrashanthPrakash - Founding Partner of Accel India, Founder BioPeak & Longevity India Twitter - https://x.com/prashanthpLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakashprashanth #JitendraChouksey - Founder, FITTR Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fittrwithjc/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jitendra.chouksey.7/ Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jitendrachouksey/ Special Appearance - #SeemaKamath, Director at Zerodha 00:00 - Introduction 00:56 - Air Quality & Blue Zones 5:39 - Bryan’s Lifestyle 09:20 - Roundtable Introductions 12:14 - Future of Medical Innovations 16:25 - Understanding Bio Transformations, Enzymatic Reactions 19:03 - Bryan’s Early Days 27:20 - Bryan’s journey into understanding Longevity 32:18 - Understanding Health Supplements 43:10 - Thought experiment 1: the algorithm 46:13 - Thought experiment 2: the 25th century 54:30 - Thought experiment 3: enabling an intelligence 1:03:00 - WTF is ‘Don’t Die’? 1:20:28 - Testing & Supplementation 1:26:50 - Business Opps in Testing & Supplementation 1:35:17 - 10 years from now, what’s Bryan's goal? 1:38:37 - Food Break! 1:39:35 - Air Quality Index (AQI) - Massive Opportunities 1:46:05 - Lifestyle Management Opps | Fittr 1:50:00 - Consumer Diagnostics Opps | BioPeak 1:59:16 - Building India Focused Datasets 2:13:33 - Influencers in the Longevity space 2:20:53 - Cancer Recurrence Detection 2:34:12 - Health Gadgets 2:39:40 - Longevity Supplements Opps & Growth Hormones 3:06:55 - Regenerative Medicine 3:10:30 - Where’s the next big opportunity? 3:15:13 - Bonus Round: Women’s Reproductive Health 3:21:28 - If men live forever and women can't give birth beyond 35 - Where's the future? #WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF…

There seems to be a preconceived bias about the real estate ecosystem in India. With this episode, we aim to dive into the nuances that explain the complexities of the business. And who better to explain it than Irfan Razack from Prestige Group, Nirupa Shankar from Brigade Group, and Karan Virwani from WeWork & Embassy. We deep dive into family businesses, passion versus wealth, new-age real estate, and much more. For those who know me, I’m not the biggest fan of real estate (as an asset class), but I may also not know enough. This episode will give you insight into what really happens in the world’s biggest asset class. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #IrfanRazack Chairman & MD of Prestige Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irfanfalcon/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irfan-razack-844a78114/? #NirupaShankar Executive Director at Brigade Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nirupa.shankar/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirupa-shankar-1309371/? #KaranVirwani CEO of WeWork India Twitter: https://x.com/karan_virwani10 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karanvirwani/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karanvirwani/?

Psychology believes that you start telling yourself you’re passionate at something when you realise you’re better at that something - same logic for talent? How important is it to be talented but also be “relevant” in the industries that seem cool to be in? In this episode of ‘WTF is’ Podcast, we have Kriti Sanon, KL Rahul, & Badshah - who chose career paths which are quite offbeat. Is it sheer talent..? Is it discipline to achieve excellence despite the element of talent? or is it merely good luck? - being at the right place at the right time? #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: / nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...

India has had a long, colourful, and mixed history with Liquor over the centuries, with ancient fermented drinks and traditional liquors like feni and toddy. India today, holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally, which is remarkable given the challenging business environment of red tape-ism, varying excise duties across states and much more. In episode #18 of “WTF is” Podcast, we have Founders of different sectors in the Liquor Industry of India. Abhishek Khaitan, MD of Radico Khaitan, One of the oldest and largest manufacturers of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) in India; Minakshi Singh, Co-founder of SideCar, India’s only entry in the top 100 of the World’s Best Bars; Shuchir Suri, Co founder of Gin Explorer’s Club, India’s biggest gin festival with a footfall of over 100,000 people per edition; and Suraj Shenai, Founder of Goa Brewing Co, crafting ‘non-conformist, modern’ beers that challenge the traditional dominance of German and Belgian flavours. If Euphemism for patriotism is outrightly sold to people, across the world in different pockets, can the same brand-building tactics work for Indian Products too?

India holds the third-largest market for alcoholic beverages globally. Despite it being such a big market, it is said to be one of the tougher industries to enter and sustain, given the complexities. There is also this misconception that making a lot of money in the liquor industry is easy, but what seems to be less apparent is the red tape-ism.. varying excise duties, distribution challenges across states, and more… which is true in some form while entering any industry. In this episode, we have Abhishek, Minakshi, Shuchir & Suraj, who will attempt to take us through the A to Z of building businesses in the Liquor Industry in a tangible manner; From building an International Brand, owning a Bar, to creating an influence through passion and finally, a unique identity in a competitive market. #NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #AbhishekKhaitan Managing Director of Radico Khaitan Twitter - https://x.com/radicokhaitan LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishek-khaitan-95098bb4/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/abhishek40/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/abhishek.khaitan.12 #MinakshiSingh Founder of SideCar, Cocktails & Dreams Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/min.drinks #ShuchirSuri Founder of Jade Forest, Anthem, Gin Explorers Club LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shuchir-suri-058251b/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shuchirsuri Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/shuchir #SurajShenai Founder of Goa Brewing Company Twitter - https://x.com/goabrewingco LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/surajshenai Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/surajshenai/ Disclaimer: Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.

Virtues required to build a business today seem to have become a cliché. What often gets lost in the cracks are the subtle nuances that actually make or break a business. The importance of risk-taking and the power of a contrarian mindset in running a successful venture requires far more than mere intellect. Founders of OYO, Mama Earth, and Rare Rabbit open up about what makes them tick, from the impact of their upbringing on their ambition to the drive towards financial independence. Their experiences remind us that the real ‘secret’ to building a successful business is learning from every challenge and opportunity one encounters We break down traits that seem to persist in high-performing individuals, not all of which come from a happy space. Financial insecurity and childhood traumas shape much of how we act and operate as adults. Watch this episode to learn about how when it is channeled the right way, it can prove to be the building blocks of the traits needed to build a successful business. #Nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...
