WHO AM I:
Hello! I’m Varun Duggirala, content creator, podcast host and co-founder of The Glitch, now a leading New Age creative agency. I’m the host of Advertising Is Dead, on which I talk about the ongoing and ever-changing developments in advertising, media, content and entertainment. On my latest podcast The Varun Duggi Show, I pick the brains of some really interesting people - media personalities, entrepreneurs, influencers and more - for compelling conversations on what really makes them who they are. I also put out a weekly newsletter, Unschooled with Varun Duggirala.
