[00:00:00] Welcome you all to a very very interesting podcast. Today we have with us a charted account

[00:00:07] of a Puneerigal, a Bollywood lover. Do you think that I am talking about myself?

[00:00:13] I am not, I'm not okay. She is an entrepreneur, she is a shark and she is one of the top most people in NQR Farma.

[00:00:24] Please give it up for Namita Thapar. I should say C.A. Namita Thapar.

[00:00:28] Thank you so much Rachana and we just discovered this morning with one more thing in common.

[00:00:32] Yeah, Assan share the same birthday. Absolutely. And a crazy sense of humour. So I think we have a lot in common.

[00:00:38] There is so much in common but I need to explore what else is in common.

[00:00:43] Sure. For me I think instead of starting with boring questions and is that let's start with something which is the most fun part.

[00:00:49] Which is what? Rapid fire. Oh wow. I love rapid fire straight from the heart.

[00:00:53] Perfect. Perfect. Shoot. Saloo? Shoot. Okay.

[00:00:57] Early bird or night owl? Which time of the day unleashes your best business instincts?

[00:01:02] Oh my god. Definitely early bird. Painfully so to wear on vacations my husband has really upset at me.

[00:01:08] Perfect. Phone calls are WhatsApp. Preferred to WhatsApp. WhatsApp? Yeah. Not a phone person.

[00:01:14] So next time I don't get your WhatsApp in time I'm going to say you... This is what you're talking about me.

[00:01:19] Your scenes won't be here. Okay. So you are judging a pitch.

[00:01:23] First impression. What impresses you? Is it the pitch deck or is it the business entrepreneur's passion or the looks of the business person?

[00:01:31] Oh my god. Definitely the humility. Okay. So none of the above is a humility.

[00:01:36] I think because I think that I look for in an entrepreneur is humility because then you know that they will be able to work with them.

[00:01:42] Amazing. Amazing. If you were to invest in any historical invention what would that be?

[00:01:49] Historical invention. Something that's gone crazy and we are not of money.

[00:01:54] Definitely social media. That's what we are working on today. Look at the power of social media.

[00:02:00] Coffee or tea? What fuel is your business? Tea. Tea.

[00:02:04] Tea. Tea. And the tea you gave me today was outstanding. You get an 11 on 10 for it.

[00:02:09] Nice. Thank you. Thank you for that. Now coming to Bollywood. It has to be Bollywood.

[00:02:13] What Bollywood movie best captures the essence of the entrepreneurial journey of any person and why?

[00:02:19] Guru. I love that movie because a way Abhishek says that he does not take no for an answer.

[00:02:29] And that persistence, which is a resilience, grit.

[00:02:33] Nice. I don't give that dialogue. I love that movie Guru.

[00:02:38] Nice. Nice. Nice. I love the songs that you like by the way.

[00:02:41] For me, the entrepreneurial journey was English English.

[00:02:45] Oh! And in that movie?

[00:02:47] Yeah. In that movie remember there's a scene where Shri Devi tells to her teacher that I have a very small business.

[00:02:54] I make laddos.

[00:02:55] And that's where her teacher says so you are an entrepreneur.

[00:02:59] You know I never even thought of that scene today.

[00:03:02] That's an amazing scene. And the way she has reacted entrepreneur.

[00:03:07] She has a very nice story that she's wearing.

[00:03:09] And in that I think it is shown very nicely that if the family members support the entrepreneurial spirit of women,

[00:03:16] they can you know take it up please and choose.

[00:03:18] Absolutely. That's fabulous.

[00:03:20] That's really her. I mean I would never have guessed that.

[00:03:22] That's an entrepreneurial movie but I see it now.

[00:03:24] It can be well.

[00:03:25] All right. Last question.

[00:03:27] Sure. Imagine you are pitching a business idea to a jury of Bollywood actors.

[00:03:32] What would your opening line be?

[00:03:35] I can make you look younger.

[00:03:37] You definitely get them to pay a lot of attention to me.

[00:03:42] Okay. So in fact I would want to know a little bit about your childhood.

[00:03:46] Yeah.

[00:03:47] Because I have seen a lot of memes floating around which is for Namita it's like Papa Kipari.

[00:03:52] Nepo kids. Don't forget Nepo kids.

[00:03:54] Yes.

[00:03:55] You know, Chalati Ferthi, Missal of Nepotism.

[00:03:59] I mean she's wearing her memes so gracefully I should say that.

[00:04:04] You know I have a great sense of humor.

[00:04:06] So you know, you know, I will say now.

[00:04:08] Just that's her name. She is the one who is named.

[00:04:10] Oh my Guru Amitabh.

[00:04:12] What happened?

[00:04:13] It's okay. You have to have fun with it.

[00:04:14] Amitabh you can also share one more insight about your kids' names.

[00:04:17] Oh yeah. My sons are named Veer and Jay after Shole.

[00:04:21] So I look.

[00:04:22] I'm not the typical Chalati accountant.

[00:04:25] Let's just say that. I'm quite crazy.

[00:04:27] Absolutely. Absolutely.

[00:04:29] So talking about your childhood.

[00:04:31] I mean, did you want to become a businessman right from the beginning?

[00:04:35] I mean, did you have that?

[00:04:37] You know, as I've told you that good Jews and Marwadi's may business runs in their blood.

[00:04:42] So was it similar for you?

[00:04:44] I don't think it's just good Jew Marwadi.

[00:04:46] It's what you grow up watching.

[00:04:48] Right. So like in whichever family and now it's changing.

[00:04:51] You see the sharp-tying founders.

[00:04:53] I've seen over 600 pictures.

[00:04:55] Wow.

[00:04:56] You see the kind of pictures who are coming there from

[00:04:58] the country, all over the country.

[00:05:00] Which is so nice.

[00:05:01] But it's what a child grows up watching.

[00:05:03] So I saw my father struggling a lot as a first-gen entrepreneur.

[00:05:07] Creditors would call him and he would say,

[00:05:10] I'm not going to be here.

[00:05:11] And I never got it.

[00:05:12] So I would ask him, why are you lying?

[00:05:14] You know because for me, lying was a very big thing.

[00:05:16] And he said, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:05:17] Tomorrow morning, I'm going to deposit the check in the bank at 9 a.m.

[00:05:21] And then I will call the creditor because it's not a special one.

[00:05:23] So I have seen him struggle for every rupee.

[00:05:27] And then I will call my mother to save on small things for our school.

[00:05:30] And remember, we should go to Ahmedabad, you know, 12-hour road journey

[00:05:33] or Ambassador Gadi.

[00:05:35] Yeah.

[00:05:36] And we should pack as many of us as possible.

[00:05:38] And I would be sitting at the foot.

[00:05:40] Oh, no.

[00:05:41] I mean, I was sitting in a baralhante.

[00:05:43] So that is the childhood we've had.

[00:05:45] And I've seen him struggling.

[00:05:47] And so I have a lot of respect and a lot of empathy

[00:05:51] for all the founders who come because I know what a rough journey it is.

[00:05:56] So me and my brother as a family, we got a certain base.

[00:06:00] And then of course, we have helped him scale it.

[00:06:03] But to go from 0 to 1, the kind of struggles my father has been through,

[00:06:07] I saw that at home.

[00:06:08] And so anyway, coming back to your question,

[00:06:10] I don't think it's so much good you, Marwadi anymore.

[00:06:12] It's about what you see at home.

[00:06:13] Absolutely.

[00:06:14] And we're seeing entrepreneurs come from every part of the country.

[00:06:17] And you're going to see a lot more young entrepreneurs coming up in India.

[00:06:21] Absolutely.

[00:06:22] I mean, I'll also share a small story.

[00:06:24] When I told my son that we are going to have a podcast together,

[00:06:27] he said, you know, it's a namita.

[00:06:28] It's a very short time in India.

[00:06:29] You've got him today.

[00:06:31] He would have loved to bunk his school.

[00:06:33] I didn't allow him.

[00:06:35] So the next question he asked me was,

[00:06:37] Are you pitching our business idea to her?

[00:06:39] What is this business idea?

[00:06:40] No, our business idea.

[00:06:41] So my, my, oh, you're doing something.

[00:06:44] I thought he meant you were doing something on the side.

[00:06:47] He has already considered himself as one of the partners.

[00:06:49] Oh my god, in your business.

[00:06:51] That is.

[00:06:52] But you know, he's, he's son to two very bright chartered accountant.

[00:06:57] So he's got some powerful genes there of a power couple.

[00:07:00] So don't be surprised.

[00:07:02] So I mean, that's what is right.

[00:07:04] Because when we say good news and my buddy's bloodmate business.

[00:07:07] What is the exposure that you mentioned right now?

[00:07:09] He's getting the exposure which I never got on.

[00:07:11] Absolutely.

[00:07:12] And I was a child, right?

[00:07:13] Absolutely.

[00:07:14] And coming to that, I heard that you are also having some school for children.

[00:07:18] Yes.

[00:07:19] So I've been running an academy for the last seven years.

[00:07:22] Okay.

[00:07:23] And basically way before Shark Tank,

[00:07:25] we used to train kids in terms of having them come up with an idea,

[00:07:28] write a business plan, then we would have a Shark Tank style panel of judges.

[00:07:32] Oh, well from the investor community who would watch the kids pitch.

[00:07:35] They would get three minutes to pitch.

[00:07:37] We had a trade show where they had to sell and make sales.

[00:07:40] So we made it real for them because I genuinely think that the entrepreneurial mindset.

[00:07:45] You have to start very early.

[00:07:47] From the time they 11, 12, you have to put that seed in their mind.

[00:07:51] And it teaches you about dealing with failure.

[00:07:54] It teaches you about thinking out of the box.

[00:07:56] It teaches you about communicating effectively.

[00:07:58] So I've been running this for seven years now which is why your son he's what 12?

[00:08:03] He's 10.

[00:08:04] So next year, next year he's going to come.

[00:08:05] Yeah so you know they are so bright now.

[00:08:08] Rachna and they just fill me with a lot of joy and optimism.

[00:08:11] So whenever I meet these bright young kids.

[00:08:14] I would love to see him soon.

[00:08:16] 100% 100%.

[00:08:17] But again like you talked about giving pitches like Shark Tank.

[00:08:20] Yeah.

[00:08:21] But I'm sure that there might be a lot of pitches where you are not really sure whether you own invest or not.

[00:08:27] You know because I think we did discuss about this.

[00:08:30] That when the door opens in Shark Tank, that's the first time that you get to see them.

[00:08:35] Because those who don't get an access to behind the scenes or something like that.

[00:08:39] Many people feel that he is a rehearsed Togash.

[00:08:42] They might have gotten a chance to talk to the entrepreneurs for long hours.

[00:08:45] Or is it like the first time that you get to see them?

[00:08:48] Srirachna, you know me by now we met a couple of times.

[00:08:51] Do you think I would do a show that was scripted?

[00:08:53] There's nothing scripted about me.

[00:08:55] So the very first time we hear anything is when those doors open and they come in.

[00:09:01] And that's when we have to make a decision.

[00:09:03] Exactly.

[00:09:04] And has there been a pitch where I change my mind and been happy? Yes.

[00:09:07] Okay.

[00:09:08] In fact it's my first exit or rather the first exit of any shark in India.

[00:09:11] There was a company called Ray Planet.

[00:09:14] You know this guy from Karkata came to Rano and he used to work with carriages to make collards.

[00:09:20] And everybody said that this carriages company is a four store, it's on the airport.

[00:09:24] It was very small at that time.

[00:09:26] This is CSR sustainability buzzword.

[00:09:29] It's not going to make money.

[00:09:30] Okay.

[00:09:31] You know I went in as a solo investor so initially when I felt that car is not going to make money.

[00:09:36] You know because you tend to be a little skeptical about these kind of little NGO type.

[00:09:40] True.

[00:09:41] Carrier, CSR, Wessex feel out there.

[00:09:44] But I was really touched by the passion and humility that Rano had.

[00:09:48] So I said let's go and get it.

[00:09:50] Okay.

[00:09:51] And listen to this.

[00:09:52] He's gone from four stores at airports to 50 stores, data point one.

[00:09:57] Number two, five X revenue.

[00:10:00] Number three, he's expanded.

[00:10:02] So he's saying, let's go to my airport.

[00:10:04] So in addition to Ray Planet which has autism stuff like jewelry and collard and bags and all of that.

[00:10:10] Yeah.

[00:10:11] He started two M, which is a convenience store.

[00:10:13] Yeah.

[00:10:14] He started Sittara, which is a women's accessory brand.

[00:10:16] He started liquid, which is a perfume brand.

[00:10:18] So he has done this horizontal expansion.

[00:10:20] Wow.

[00:10:21] And within a year and a half he got five X valuation and he gave me a secondary exit for a partial amount at three and a half X.

[00:10:29] And the reason it's just a tiny amount is because I know he's going to become really big.

[00:10:33] Yeah.

[00:10:34] And I want to continue being a part of that journey.

[00:10:36] So I think is this the true meaning of I am out as an exit?

[00:10:39] Actually, actually.

[00:10:40] But that's true.

[00:10:41] That could be a good way to say that showing exits is important Rachana because people at some points aren't saying that this show is education or entertainment.

[00:10:51] And see at the end of the day it is a business show.

[00:10:54] Absolutely.

[00:10:55] We are putting real money.

[00:10:56] Exactly.

[00:10:57] I mean it's not fake money.

[00:10:58] I'm actually putting my real personal money in these ventures.

[00:11:01] So at some point a few businesses we do because we want to support the entrepreneur like a puppy band.

[00:11:05] Exactly.

[00:11:06] I know probably it'll never scale enough to make Gimian exit.

[00:11:10] But she's a lovely story and a lovely example to give to the country.

[00:11:13] Exactly.

[00:11:14] But the others we definitely want to make money.

[00:11:16] You know, not everything can be just for giving a story.

[00:11:19] Yes, that kind of a thing.

[00:11:20] Absolutely.

[00:11:21] But I mean the point that I was talking about right?

[00:11:23] Yeah.

[00:11:24] I am out.

[00:11:25] Yeah, it has become an equation.

[00:11:26] Namitathapar is equal to I am out.

[00:11:28] What's your take on that?

[00:11:29] I that's it.

[00:11:30] That's a great question because I'm out has totally gone viral in season three.

[00:11:35] But you know what?

[00:11:36] I'm not apologetic about it when I look at your videos and the guidance you give to investors.

[00:11:41] You tell them that hey, be selected.

[00:11:43] Invest in 10 to 15 companies are not 100.

[00:11:46] Because then you will not have time to read their balance sheets and you know sort of being touched with those quarterly updates right?

[00:11:53] It's the same thing for me as a shock in season one.

[00:11:55] I've invested in 18 companies in season two.

[00:11:58] 16 have completed due diligence so far.

[00:12:01] Okay.

[00:12:02] And that's already 34 companies and like you see on my insta page,

[00:12:04] I meet them a lot.

[00:12:05] I want to give it depth true my mantra is less is more right?

[00:12:08] Wow.

[00:12:09] And so quality over quantity any day.

[00:12:11] I'm out.

[00:12:12] I'm very respectful and kind while giving the feedback and I hope the feedback helps them.

[00:12:17] But yes, I am selected and I'm out a lot.

[00:12:20] Unapologetically so.

[00:12:21] I mean, I should tell you I loved that point which is quality over quantity and that's what it is right?

[00:12:26] I mean be it stocks be it startup investing.

[00:12:28] Finally, it's our hard on money that we are putting in so it has to be quality or quantity perfect.

[00:12:33] Thank you.

[00:12:34] But but now talking about quantity only not quality.

[00:12:38] So you have seen a lot of pitches till date right?

[00:12:41] The quantity of men presenting the pitches versus quantity of women presenting the pitches.

[00:12:46] Is it the same or do you see some gender bias out there?

[00:12:49] There are a lot more women coming in so you know workforce participation are country the statistics are terrible right?

[00:12:54] It's under 20% women participation though we are over 50% of the population.

[00:12:59] But at the time that number is much higher.

[00:13:02] Okay.

[00:13:03] So we see a lot where it's solo women founder or a woman co founder.

[00:13:07] Okay.

[00:13:08] And it's not like they've just come along.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:11] They are doing a lot of the talking.

[00:13:12] They have the numbers on top of their head.

[00:13:14] They're very hands on because we grill them.

[00:13:16] You see just 10 minutes but we spent an hour and a half grilling them.

[00:13:21] So we can tell you know that they are not going to be able to eat it.

[00:13:27] So we know that right?

[00:13:29] Okay.

[00:13:30] So they're pretty good and they are kicking some ass.

[00:13:33] Amazing.

[00:13:34] I'm amazing.

[00:13:35] Sorry, Malatya.

[00:13:36] I was just thinking about it.

[00:13:37] I was thinking about it.

[00:13:41] Hey, please don't ask me what is my life.

[00:13:45] What is your life?

[00:13:46] Reality.

[00:13:47] Nice.

[00:13:48] Thupper.

[00:13:49] Thupper.

[00:13:50] I think that's how you learn to have fun with your name and everything.

[00:13:57] Good thing you didn't call me Basanti Thupper.

[00:13:59] No, no.

[00:14:00] For me, Rana Deh, someone told me a very witty statement.

[00:14:03] Rana Deh, you should run.

[00:14:04] Oh my god.

[00:14:05] I said okay.

[00:14:06] I know I'm fat but okay.

[00:14:08] Hey, no body shame yourself.

[00:14:10] You're gorgeous.

[00:14:11] Thank you.

[00:14:12] Okay.

[00:14:14] Right.

[00:14:15] So now again, coming back to that same question, right?

[00:14:17] What do you feel makes that difference because we always have been saying that the workforce

[00:14:21] participation is less agreeing.

[00:14:22] Yeah.

[00:14:23] But then how are these women who are coming on the tank?

[00:14:26] What is the difference?

[00:14:27] What is that quality which is bringing in more confidence in them as compared to other women

[00:14:33] and the women.

[00:14:34] I think women now are seeing a lot more role models.

[00:14:36] A lot more women are in business so they feel maybe Karsakthu.

[00:14:40] Secondly, it all comes out of a supportive family.

[00:14:42] Whether it's your parents, your spouse, your in-laws, your kids.

[00:14:45] Everybody, it's an ecosystem that has to be proud of you and not make you feel guilty because

[00:14:50] you know people women really suffer from this disease of guilt.

[00:14:53] Yeah.

[00:14:54] You don't need to give them more guilt, right?

[00:14:55] Yeah.

[00:14:56] So I think it's a little bit of everything.

[00:14:57] They are basically more driven.

[00:14:58] They're seeing more role models.

[00:15:00] Yeah.

[00:15:01] Their families are more supportive.

[00:15:02] Yeah.

[00:15:03] There's a lot of opportunity.

[00:15:04] True.

[00:15:05] So I think it's just going to keep getting better.

[00:15:07] I'm an optimist.

[00:15:08] I think it's going to keep getting better with every year.

[00:15:10] Perfect.

[00:15:11] You know, this budget we came across a very nice term.

[00:15:15] Gyan.

[00:15:16] These are the four pillars of our economy is what our Prime Minister also mentioned in one of his speeches.

[00:15:21] G stands for Garib.

[00:15:22] Y stands for Yuth.

[00:15:24] A stands for Anadata and N stands for Nari.

[00:15:27] Oof.

[00:15:28] Okay?

[00:15:29] Two one, Shail.

[00:15:30] But we did talk about Nari point.

[00:15:32] And now I think the young, the youngsters who would be the next pictures in Shark Tank.

[00:15:40] If you were to groom them, I'm like we discussed right in your academy also you groomed them to become entrepreneurs but that is at your level.

[00:15:47] Yeah.

[00:15:48] Do you think that something should be included at the school curriculum level itself so that you know.

[00:15:52] 200%.

[00:15:53] In fact, I've been working with the government trying to bring this in the school curriculum and it's very important to teach them to look at failure positively.

[00:16:03] If there's one thing I teach in my academy and if there's one thing I want to teach youngsters is failure, it still looked at as a taboo.

[00:16:10] You know, and the day you look at failure as something positive, as something where you learn, you grow, you become better.

[00:16:18] Your entire perspective changes and you become a real entrepreneur because you know the life of an entrepreneur.

[00:16:23] Yeah.

[00:16:24] I mean, you're an entrepreneur, we were talking and you have seen so many difficulties, so many failures but are better.

[00:16:31] Right?

[00:16:32] Right.

[00:16:33] Rachina, I'm going to crack this.

[00:16:35] Even now you are telling me about a lot of things and a lot of crap that's written but you stay positive and you're like I'm going to get better.

[00:16:43] So I think that ability to deal with setbacks, failures and to stay positive and to look at them positively is what really makes an entrepreneur and helps them stick to their journey for the long term and make a success of it.

[00:16:57] That is the one thing I would like to change in the kids of today.

[00:17:01] Super, super.

[00:17:02] We did talk about women, we did talk about kids.

[00:17:05] Now let's talk about a career which is very close to our hearts and that is the career of a charter accountant.

[00:17:11] Yeah.

[00:17:12] But neither you nor me, right?

[00:17:13] You're not doing anything related to the proper, you know, hard core, see a thing none of us have even practiced being a charter accountant.

[00:17:20] But many people ask this question to me that, okay you do nothing about charter accountants. So you are a content creator.

[00:17:26] So did your CA degree really help you or not?

[00:17:30] That is the question that I get to hear a lot.

[00:17:32] What do you feel in your entrepreneurial journey or is your headings a farmer company?

[00:17:37] Right.

[00:17:38] Does being a CA really help you?

[00:17:40] You know firstly I'm extremely proud of being a charter accountant and I think it's a phenomenal degree.

[00:17:46] And like I told you, I cleared everything in the first attempt at the age of 21.

[00:17:50] So I worked very hard.

[00:17:51] One more commonly.

[00:17:52] Another complete comment.

[00:17:54] So I think I have so much pride in that degree but besides pride, it's also taught me and helped me a lot.

[00:18:01] Initially I was the CA for the company.

[00:18:03] So obviously all the mergers and acquisitions that we did, all the private equity investments, it really helped me get that finance or acumen.

[00:18:11] Then when I move to managing the sales and marketing.

[00:18:14] When you bring data analytics and when you bring the numbers mindset to marketing, you create magic in brand building.

[00:18:22] So it's helped me a lot there even as an investor.

[00:18:25] If you notice I ask a lot about sales but I hear valuation in the high QA.

[00:18:30] It really helps you get to the depth and to the crux of the business.

[00:18:34] You know because you really have that appreciation for time and for EBITDA and for all those repeat customers.

[00:18:41] You're just constantly crunching numbers and it comes naturally to you.

[00:18:45] So I think in every role of mine, that numbers mindset that CA instills in you.

[00:18:52] That never goes away.

[00:18:53] So you don't have to practice as a chartered accountant.

[00:18:55] Absolutely.

[00:18:56] It gives you a certain way of thinking.

[00:18:58] It gives you a certain personality which helps you in every avatar of yours.

[00:19:03] Whether it's CFO, whether it's head of India sales, whether it's a shark or whether it's a mother.

[00:19:07] So I think I've used my degree in every aspect of my life and it is something that I'm very proud of.

[00:19:14] Fantastic.

[00:19:15] I think two more things that I always believe that CA has taught me the best one is analytical skills.

[00:19:20] That's very true.

[00:19:21] And the second one is prioritizing.

[00:19:23] Yes.

[00:19:24] Because you know I remember in CFI, we have like eight subjects and when we sit down to study one, we feel like a relic in second maybe with a good time management.

[00:19:32] Exactly.

[00:19:33] So you have to have prioritization, you need to get better time management.

[00:19:36] Very true.

[00:19:37] So many things that CA teaches us.

[00:19:39] And you learn planning also because you can't leave for last minute all those laws and my God,

[00:19:44] those hundreds of tax clauses that you have to memorize, there is no way you can leave it for last minute.

[00:19:49] You have to prepare a head of time so even that planning mentality, attention to detail.

[00:19:55] I mean there are lots of skills that it puts in you as a person.

[00:19:59] True, true, true.

[00:20:00] You know I must say something Rachana from the very first time I met you, I fell in love with you.

[00:20:06] You are such an inspiring person and you know in my life I see people who have a lot of intelligence but they lack the thing that matters most to me which is humility.

[00:20:16] And you know just being authentic right and I see that in you.

[00:20:21] And you've been through so many setbacks and what you have created, you're an original.

[00:20:26] A lot of people have come after you but you know what I mean?

[00:20:29] I want to compliment you for really thinking out of the box creating this category of finance and influencers,

[00:20:40] sticking with it, making this a force to reckon with.

[00:20:43] And more than anything when I see your videos as oh, Gyan, Gyan, Gyan, Gyan,

[00:20:48] you bring so much energy, you bring so much warmth and you bring so much authenticity.

[00:20:54] So my only request to you is people like you are as extinct as a dinosaur.

[00:20:59] So please change, I will never lose.

[00:21:01] Stay humble, stay real and keep that crazy energy with the Bollywood turka going.

[00:21:07] You is what I'll say.

[00:21:09] But you know many people ask me how do you, how do you stay humble?

[00:21:12] Yeah, I saw you.

[00:21:14] It's very easy to stay in Pune.

[00:21:18] And I love the way you say Pune.

[00:21:20] There are so many people who when I say Pune they're like what's that?

[00:21:23] I'm like only a person from Pune, one of our people.

[00:21:26] So I recently, many people come back and say,

[00:21:29] You can speak in Malas.

[00:21:30] And you can speak in Malas and you can speak in Malas.

[00:21:33] And Pune is not Pune.

[00:21:35] Like, Hindi wordy, no, Hindi wordy.

[00:21:37] There you go.

[00:21:38] And we have the Marathi Connect too.

[00:21:40] I speak pretty well.

[00:21:41] Absolutely.

[00:21:42] Absolutely.

[00:21:43] So one of my channel viewers made me on Ferguson College Road and he said,

[00:21:49] God, I watch your channel.

[00:21:50] There is a great way to channel you watch English or Marathi.

[00:21:53] He said, where say I see your English channel but anyways you talk a lot in Marathi.

[00:21:57] I said that's Pune.

[00:21:59] You cannot take the Pune out of you.

[00:22:01] True that.

[00:22:02] And that's something very proud of.

[00:22:04] Absolutely.

[00:22:05] We have proud Pune cars and there's something very beautiful about this city.

[00:22:07] True.

[00:22:08] That's why it's said right?

[00:22:09] Pune, it's a Kayaunai.

[00:22:10] Absolutely.

[00:22:11] That's the best closing state.

[00:22:12] Absolutely.

[00:22:13] I hope you enjoyed this one till then.

[00:22:15] Take care.

[00:22:16] Thank you.

[00:22:17] Bye bye.

[00:22:19] Bye.
