  • This platform is not to promote your products I guess.

    It should have an Indian host if it’s about India. It should be more about the basic things and not about what the other prople have achieved. I guess everyone is here to get an idea on what can be done to bring a new idea into existence but everybody on podcast is to promoted theirs product and not to explain how Indian startup works.

Frustrated corporate engineer to a master of the stage. Ankur Nigam on why Storytelling is Your Ultimate Currency.
Q: How did you teach yourself comedy then?
I started with surface-level jokes about relatable college life and gradually went deeper into personal experiences and universal emotions. I used an approach I call the LCM Theory of Comedy to tailor material to larger audiences while maintaining authenticity.
