Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 261 ratings
  • Sharda constantly interrupting Praveen was so irritating in IPL episode

    Sharda needs podcast training. Usually the episodes are professional and high in audio quality. But this speaker was constantly interrupting others, makes serious interesting conversation threads sidetracked. And switching to Hindi casually.

  • Let guests speak!

    One of the host keeps interrupting the guest and launching into his own insights or counterpoints. Podcasts are not debates.

  • Old Ken was better

    The original Ken was definitely better. One story with depth. Now it is like any other publication where most stories are very superficial reporting. May be it’s a way to increase readership.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

19 years on, is IPL still too big to fail? Sharda Ugra answers
Q: But, PGK, tell us why we're talking about IPL today.
Sharda explains that IPL's evolution touches the core of cricket administration, broadcast economics, and global sport monetization, making it a critical case study for understanding sports business strategies and the future trajectory of franchise leagues.
Healthify swallowed its disruptors. But can it digest them?
Q: What is Healthify's response to AI disruption and GLP-1 therapy?

What a global investor really thinks about India's next decade
Q: What narratives do you see as the top drivers for India over the next decade?
Key narratives include the shift from traditional FMCG and B2C competition to brands and export-oriented growth, accelerating manufacturing, expansion of Bharat (tier 2/3 markets), and the evolution of supply chains through domestic CAPEX and labor arbitrage. AI and tech-enabled productivity, along with improved governance and private sector risk-taking, are expected to unlock substantial mid-cap opportunities.
What a global investor really thinks about India's next decade
Q: What is your investment timeline when Lazard puts capital to work in emerging markets like India?
We operate with a long-term, perpetual mindset, focusing on durable fundamentals and the growth trajectory of individual companies rather than chasing short-term market cycles. The emphasis is on identifying compounders with moats and sustainable demand, while remaining mindful of mispricing opportunities in sectors like IT services and financials.
With Noice, Swiggy picks the 3rd path in quick commerce
