This podcast was hosted by Mr Saurabh Nanda. The guest of the day was Mr Pranav Chaturvedi, who is an entrepreneur. He owns a company called ‘Favcy’. This company helps other entrepreneurs build their ventures.

The podcast starts with a brief introduction of Mr Pranav Chaturvedi. He graduated from Shaheed Sukhdev College, DU. He joined Metlife, afterwards and then joined Kotak. The podcast was recorded a bit after the covid pandemic, so it starts with the host asking him about his opinions on the digitisation of the workplace that took place during the pandemic and whether it will continue even afterwards. He talks about the huge change in the operations of businesses that took place during the pandemic and how it will continue and will even expand, he supports that by giving an example of a report which shows how 30% of our economy would work digitally which was inevitable but was given a push by the pandemic and people would have to learn new ways as the market shifts to the other side.

Mr Chaturvedi continues by talking about his professional journey. He talks about how he went from college to Metlife to Kotak and what he learned on the way, which helped him to start his first company, a test-prep company called “Pratham”, with his friends from college. He talks about preparing online courses for “Pratham”, which even helped him learn about marketing. He talks about making a digital framework for other companies which is a very technical job and can be very hard when working for companies with a non-technical business. He talks about the initial issues that “Favcy” faced, the rise of it and the challenges they faced while trying to get clients they were a startup that was trying to help other startups venture to a rise where they get contacted by 250–300 clients each month.

He continues talking about how his company mentors different founders and helps them grow and talks about how Indian incubators are the same as America’s. He criticizes it by pointing out the difference between the Indian and American economies.

They continue to talk about the Indian concept of starting a business and why do we not talk about it, but copy America and their ways, to which the guest points out that Indians have mostly been limited to the service industry and how our minds work with the limitations of it.

This is a very detailed conversation about startups, and the issues that you face while starting a business, they talk about Indian markets and more, with Mr Pranav Chaurvedi’s well-articulated answers.
