If you're a founder who's ever nodded along in a VC convo while secretly wondering "what are they actually talking about?" — this one's for you.

This episode brings together some of the sharpest minds in Indian venture:
 Nikhil Kamath, Nithin Kamath, Rajan Anandan, Prashanth Prakash, and Karthik Reddy — to break down what venture capital really is, what founders often get wrong, and how the VC game has evolved in India over the years.

What I loved:

  • They're honest about what doesn’t work
  • They go beyond fundraising — into the macro view of markets, investor mindsets, and how capital moves
  • It’s not theory — it’s years of experience, simplified

Feels like a full-on MBA class, minus the debt.
