Talks & podcasts

Conversations with builders.

I host Startup OG, where founders share what building is really like. I also speak at events and on podcasts about startups, failure, and AI search.

Real founder stories, no polish.

Startup OG (previously Entrepreneur's Cafe) is a free community and podcast I run in India. Through episodes, meetups, and events, founders talk about pivots, pricing, bootstrapping, and exits.
