WTF is with Nikhil Kamath

So we ran an experiment. We call it The Foundery. Sixty days ago, twenty-five people we'd never met moved into a house in Alibaug — each one handed a new-age consumer brand, four crores, and ninety days to build a real business with us. Not a college, not an accelerator: a place where we become your co-founders and build the company alongside you. In this first conversation, Nikhil Kamath, Kishore Biyani and Ronnie Screwvala get into why we built it, what we're risking, and what happens if none of it works.#nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha and GruhasHost of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' PodcastTwitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/The Foundery is a venture builder that forges entrepreneurs into co-founders and builds companies with them from the ground up.Website: https://www.thefoundery.in/Kishore Biyani – Founder & CEO of Future GroupRonnie Screwvala – Co-Founder & Chairperson of upGrad, Founder of UTV GroupLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronniescrewvala/Watch 'WTF is' Podcast on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/4nsm4eznWatch 'People by WTF' Podcast on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/yme92c59Watch 'WTF Online' on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th#WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF #WTFOnline

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, FITTRInstagram - 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 Zerodha00:00 - 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 GruhasTwitter: 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_appFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/#IrfanRazack Chairman & MD of Prestige GroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/irfanfalcon/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irfan-razack-844a78114/?#NirupaShankar Executive Director at Brigade GroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nirupa.shankar/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirupa-shankar-1309371/?#KaranVirwani CEO of WeWork IndiaTwitter: https://x.com/karan_virwani10Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karanvirwani/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karanvirwani/?Timestamps -00:00:00 Intro00:01:02 Irfan Razack's Intro00:03:38 Why did Irfan start a real estate company00:06:15 What defines the Value of Land : FSI, Laws and more00:09:35 What is Joint Development00:11:10 Guidance for Growth in Real Estate00:17:09 Managing a Family Business00:22:58 What's the Minority Rule00:25:01 Is passion overrated ?00:34:25 Building Wework00:38:31 What's happening in Indian Real Estate00:47:39 Is Real Estate Pricey now?00:53:26 How to get into Real Estate Now00:57:57 Careers in Real Estate00:58:38 Step by Step guide to start a Career in Real Estate01:04:31 How to get the highest return on real estate01:07:40 LiteStore and their unique concept01:09:01 Affordable or Luxury Housing01:12:12 Renting,Buying,Flipping Houses01:16:31 Land Prices Then vs Now01:21:51 What is a REIT ?01:25:12 Benefits if REITs01:27:39 India's 4 Listed REITs01:31:19 What's Strata01:33:12 Commercial Real Estate Experience01:35:54 Selling an Experience01:40:20 World Trade Center | The Office Experience01:43:26 Real Estate is a Regional Game | Cluster Cities01:46:30 What is Redevelopment?01:50:49 Two Real Estate rules that can be changed in Karnataka01:53:02 Innovation in Real Estate01:58:49 Real Estate Perspectives | Working with Adam Neuman02:03:58 Nirupa and her Sister02:05:04 Gender roles in Real Estate | Balancing Personal Life02:07:29 Nirupa and Sports02:10:52 Nirupa's Dreams and Ambitions02:14:04 Essentials of a Mall: Financials, Creativity & more02:22:54 What made Brigade Group build a Mall02:24:30 Food Break02:24:59 Nirupa Shankar's Intro02:32:04 Karan Virwani's Intro02:37:06 Karan: We Work & Embassy in India02:44:03 How to start a Co Working Space02:48:09 What's the ROI on Commercial Properties02:49:44 How Important is Building Relationships in Real Estate?02:52:05 Is Building Relationships with Politicians Important?02:52:34 Will Real Estate Be a Monopoly in the Future?02:54:59 Future of the Commercial Real Estate Culture02:59:48 Pre Fabricated Real Estate | Black Money in Real Estate03:02:28 Opportunity in Senior Living03:04:07 Jobs Opportunities in Real Estate03:07:23 AI in Real Estate03:10:16 Services that Real Estate Companies Outsource03:11:19 Outro03:11:37 What Kind of Marketing helps in Selling Real Estate03:13:46 What are GCC's#nikhilkamath #WTFiswithNikhilKamath

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...⁠ Facebook: ⁠ / nikhilkamathcio ⁠ ⁠#KritiSanon⁠ Acclaimed actress, model, entrepreneur, and producer Instagram: ⁠ / kritisanon ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/kritisanon⁠ Facebook: ⁠ / officialks10 ⁠ ⁠#KLRahul⁠ Star cricketer, brand ambassador, and entrepreneur Instagram: ⁠ / klrahul ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/klrahul⁠ YouTube: ⁠ / @klyoutube ⁠ Facebook: ⁠ / klrahul ⁠ ⁠#Badshah⁠ Rapper, singer-songwriter, music producer, and entrepreneur Instagram: ⁠ / badboyshah ⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/Its_Badshah⁠ Facebook: ⁠ / officialbadshah ⁠ Timestamps - ⁠00:00⁠ Introduction ⁠05:25⁠ Kriti’s introduction ⁠08:55⁠ Kriti on perfectionism and validation ⁠14:28⁠ Kriti’s attachment style ⁠17:58⁠ Kriti on being an outsider ⁠27:45⁠ Kriti in 10 years from today ⁠49:20⁠ X factor ⁠57:05⁠ KL Rahul introduction ⁠59:31⁠ Playing multiple sports = Better Athlete? ⁠01:01:25⁠ KL’s love of cricket as a kid ⁠01:03:18⁠ How imp is talent to become a better cricketer? ⁠01:10:15⁠ Importance of data analysis ⁠01:13:22⁠ KL’s early memories with cricket ⁠01:33:47⁠ How does one become a Cricketer? ⁠01:39:48⁠ Badshah’s Introduction ⁠01:50:13⁠ Entrepreneurs & The Next Big Thing ⁠02:01:23⁠ Badshah’s success story ⁠02:14:35⁠ Plan B? ⁠02:29:51⁠ Boys Chat: Dating, Business & Life ⁠02:40:12⁠ How long does it take to build a successful biz in india

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?

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 indiaGiven 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 knowledgeGiven 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 GruhasTwitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio#AnimeshAgarwal l - CEO of 8bit CreativesTwitter: https://x.com/8bit_thug/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/8bitthugInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/8bit_thug/ #SeanHyunilSohn - CEO of Krafton IndiaTwitter: https://twitter.com/hisohn?lang=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-hyunil-sohn-1670216#JosephKim - CEO of Lila GamesTwitter : 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/
