    Ep. #20 | WTF are Indian Real Estate Giants Up To? Nikhil ft. Irfan, Nirupa, & Karan
    Oct 12 2024

    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.

    Ep. #19 | WTF is “Making it” in an Offbeat Career? Nikhil Kamath Ft. Kriti Sanon, Badshah & KL Rahul
    Aug 23 2024
    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...
