Namastey India

Daily two-host opinion and news, co-hosted with Shivam. Not an interview show: a daily take on what India was thinking that morning. The volume credential of the stack.

Co-hosted with my wife. Honest reviews, sharp takes, no holds barred. The show that proved disagreeing on tape is fun. Films, food, gadgets, life.

Why are the older shows paused? +
In 2022 I joined Bengaluru’s largest workspace operator as AVP Marketing; by July 2023 I was running the function as VP. A 30-person marketing org and daily podcasts couldn’t share the same calendar. The back catalogue stays up. One investigative show, Are We Cooked?, replaces the daily volume play.
