  • Please separate playlists for national interests and cut the clutter

    Thanks a lot for the amazing content, Shekhar ji and team.

    I would love it if the national interest feed is separated from cut the clutter. I enjoy both but sometimes can’t spare the time for following everything!

  • Praveen Swami >> Shekhar Gupta

    Praveen Swami has an immense flair for detailed and interesting storytelling, whereas Shekhar Gupta’s Cut The Clutter is full of clutter and forced metaphors, it is difficult listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ThePrintAM: Why is Suzuki investing crores in Bio-CNG plants in rural Gujarat?
Q: Why is Suzuki investing in these bio-CNG plants in rural Gujarat?
The host frames the question and the guest explains that the investment is tied to a collaborative model with local dairy unions and government-backed technology partners to convert cow dung into biomethane, generate revenue from fertilizer byproducts, and leverage carbon credits as a long-term strategic move aligned with national energy and emissions goals.
CutTheClutter: How West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala & Assam election results will redefine Indian politics
Q: DK, what are your main takeaways from this?
The takeaway is a combination of BJP's organizational juggernaut, the consolidation against regional parties, and a looming BJP-vs-Congress electoral dynamic in many states, with particular attention to how election administration and alliances shaped outcomes.
ShekharSeSawal: LPG shortage,Trump's war on Iran, Iran's nuclear program,India-Bangladesh ties | ShekharSeSawal Ep50
Q: How might the war affect India-Bangladesh relations and regional diplomacy?
A more cooperative regional approach could soften tensions if connectivity projects and energy cooperation advance, but India must balance its own energy needs with neighbors' expectations during stress periods.
ShekharSeSawal: LPG shortage,Trump's war on Iran, Iran's nuclear program,India-Bangladesh ties | ShekharSeSawal Ep50
Q: What are the potential internal political repercussions in India if the war worsens shortages?
The opposition is expected to capitalize on shortages to criticize policy and diplomacy with Iran, while the government argues for strategic reserves and better planning to mitigate price shocks.
ShekharSeSawal: LPG shortage,Trump's war on Iran, Iran's nuclear program,India-Bangladesh ties | ShekharSeSawal Ep50
Q: The first question is about LPG shortages and why the government didn't prepare adequately like other sectors.
The host explains that gas logistics are complex; liquefied gas requires specialized tankers, global supply chains, and lead times that can't be short-circuited, especially during a wartime disruption.
