✓ Link checked India Free Beginner

India's most-watched long-form business podcast, hosted by a founder who himself builds creator-led D2C brands (House of X), episodes with consumer founders and marketers are a fast, accessible way to absorb how Indian brands pick products and position them. Great for the creator-led and side-hustler personas deciding what to launch.
