  • Love the show

    I am gonna say this, Its a pretty good show but you cannot divide the geopolitical angle and Military. Please tank down the other show and bring in the Geopolitical implications of war and war material and also share the perspectives from indian POV. I am sure the show would blast to fame and success in no time. Regardless of that I still love your show.

  • Great India defense related podcast

    Been listening to your podcast for some time now. It’s been a good mix of analysis and news about Indian Defense. Loved the last episode, about women in the force, for the back and forth, and the push back especially from Preeti. Something we have not seen in earlier episodes, Dev is sometime too diffident to Abhishek.

    An otherwise excellent show, with great content, Abhishek obviously knows this subject well. I look forward to it continuing to evolve.
