Just amazing. For straight two hours with every minute passing and his words and thoughts were making me stunned, every thought of him opening a new perspective to look at things in my mind. Thank you Ganesh sir for bringing such a great man at your podcast. Loved it!!!
this was the same realisation i got during my vipassana discourse that luxury is not that you are living your life with full of resources luxury is something how simple life you can make without overloading the resources
During covid I got a job of remote role which was offering me just 25k today I earn almost 50k in same job but completely remote, today I got an offer of 16lpa but on site but I rejected that I need to relocate for that to Bengaluru city. During covid I learnt one thing that good health and happier life is more important. Today we have three cattles two cows and one buffalo we put daily ten litres of milk to dairy and we are spending the same profit for household budget my entire salary I started saving. Now we started searching for a girl but most of them are rejecting me bcs I’m in village and less salary but note it soon in ten years people will come back to village life I’m so happy bcs of covid I explored the world of remote job and its meaning. Today even if I loose job I know how to survive in agriculture and this what my grandfather and my father did for generations to survive.

I hold frenchise of Thyrocare since 2015 still haven't moved to any other laboratory, also met him personally i still remember his 1 punchline सर से एक लंबा बाल तोड़ो उसका Nord बनके बड़े पहाड़ पेंडालो आया तो पहाड़ गया तो सिर्फ बाल| Love you sir you given job to every fresher without asking experience and English Language. Additionally given Business opportunity for free to sell tests of thyrocare. He can still make another 1000 cr company from scratch.
Long time ago , perhaps around 2015 only , I remember on of my BrahmaKumar friends who had returned back from usa , introduced to Thyrocare , and he was holding a franchise . It was somewhere in Sion , Mumbai ???
You have a long way Ganesh bro... I still remember a year ago You were manifesting and planning to do the Business Podcast with Velumani Sir and ask him about HOW he cracked and mastered the logistics in Thyrocare And I also Thank Velumani for bringing ThyroCare...for saving us the money in my Parents Blood tests especially for Thyroid tests.

You were rich from the very beginning sir. Rich with life…full of life inside…Everything else was a game for you and you enjoyed it to the fullest too with a wonderful co-player !
No book in the whole world can give a lesson like this. Such a wise man. Thank you think school for this amazing podcast. For those who criticize his English. He is more literate than 99 percent of English talking white collar idiots
Fluency in English language is no marker for literacy especially when English is not your mother tongue or main language. Many Indians can speak or understand or write in more than 1 language and this is something even an average English man or American cannot do. Many English people living in UK can't even speak English properly and I say this having lived in UK for many years. So get off the bias and ill informed biases u r on
Dr Velumani is really an inspiration to everyone .. esp. the ones who hit on failures every step.. he is really one who lived to chase his troubles and got thrill in the same
Salute Dr Velumani si🙏🙏 I think lack of facilities and poverty only make human successful... Bollywood should show sirs inspirational story for digital youth..
Wow....! What a Man Dr. Velumani Sir is... This is the best Podcast I have ever Listened to. In fact I never watched the watch until he said and I'm quoting " I'm a man who can keep audience engaged for an hour or two without they watching the watch"
What a fantastic podcast brother. I also didn't see the watch while watching the podcast. Brilliant choice of yours to bring this kind of man to INDIAN BUSINESS PODCAST.
wow sir... you know tamil and speak tamil very nice.Thank you very much sir....i very happy and proud that you understand and reply in tamil language.....
I have watched and listened to many podcasts, but this one was special on all the terms, be it the struggles of our lives, relationships, or businesses! Everything is in one place; thanks for the episode Think School.
Wonderful content Think School. Mr Velumani Sir is so comfortable and comic in explaining his hardships and success, it got me tears and joy to know what he has accomplished so far. Thankyou for bringing him at your bench. Also hats off to you Sir Velumani for being an icon to us.
After watching the entire podcast, i can conclude that Velumani sir's life timeline aligned magically favouring him because he was willing to do anything to escape poverty and establish his name into the history. Whatever the language he speaks I'll still listen to him without a single distraction, gaining wisdoms from this legendary icon is worth a billion ❤ Thank you sir.
Few years back, I had read about Dr. Velumani in a news article ,I got inspired and today I just learnt a lot from this episode. Thanks to the channel and all the supporting staff Dr Velumani thank you so much for your presence in the show. 🙏🙏🤠🤠
Wow. Wanted to know the technicality in his achievement. Got it through this interview. Very much informative on how one should know A to Z in a business. it's like you are not doing business, you are actually researching it. Well done. Good job.
A movie must be made on this amazing gentleman by a really committed producer/director and i am sure it will be a hit and it be very educative for all of us!JaiHind!
The interview should be shown to university students. It was a classic all rounder on life.Just a pity that BBC, CNN etc dont have this quality of skill and depth .May you go from strength to strength. Omnamasivaya
This was so natural, better to not put time stamp and edit according to time stamps. This is what made this podcast beautiful , this was like reading a good book without index and wonder whats next
1.01.06 Good summary of what happened and how simens and Velumani both won and adopted the technology and situation of that time😊😊😊 Next time while Ganesh bro....Ask ur guests to include the years while telling their Journey 😊
26:44 very well said for today's online courses and coaching classes. Only if you are not learning from one you are hoping to one to another teacher the same thing again and again.
Think school is changing the lives of youth by bringing us such inspiring podcasts.I hope this podcast will help our young generation to become entrepreneurs
Initially hesitant due to the podcast's length, I found myself irresistibly drawn into Dr. Velumani's captivating journey. Once I hit play, I couldn't look away! Thank you Think School team.
This is the best video I have watched so far at Think School man. Truth be told: Your videos are in-depth and I took 3 pages of notes. Focus and discipline does pay off!!!!!
Waooo... This episode is no less compared to reading a great book. Such eloquence in speech, leaving the listeners in intrigued of what comes next. Massive respect to this man and Ganesh bhai also.
Such an Iconic interview. The last line at the end of this video just made me realise that i truly haven't checked the time throughout this interview. A true living legend, wishing you health and happiness sir.
First time I got goosbumps watching this podcast I never felt before like this I enjoyed the conversation the way interviewer enjoyed, it is the best in recent times
Thank you Think School, I gained a lot of knowledge from today's video. The podcast with D r. Arokiaswamy Velumani sir was very remarkable, as it provided valuable insights and knowledge that are essential for life.
28:06 In this phase, Velumani sir was so proud that he wasn't coached by anyone and achieved everything by himself. After all how can he be so humble? These days when we achieve lil things, we self conceit ourselves and our pride reaches the sky. We really need to learn on how to manage pros and cons of fame.
1.36.14 ENOUGH TO MAKE a biopic and add these dialogues of THRILL at all stages of his life journey......A MAN WHO THRIVED HIS LIFE FOR THRILL but we call it merely a RISK....
Thank you for this episode. It was like watching my life in the mirror. FOCUS is what makes. It drives me harder to complete what I'm doing, completing my book in "Navigating Risk. Embracing Sustainability for SMEs". Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Salut to Dr. Velumani.
18:50 .. Serving food by his mother and the logic of fights between him and his mother.. To share the food How a story telling... Reach the oinnacle of emotions... I could see the wisdom... Sharing the food creates the bond... U always remember a story.. Which hot emotional side 😇🙌
1:15:00 this man is great and explaining like he came for an intern job...😊 Sometimes other people who came for interview will say, ha ha ha.. will c that in later episodes 🙏
We had a case study on Thyrocare in MBA(Great Lakes) written by Suresh Shrinivasan sir. That is one of the greatest classes I have ever been to and listening to the man himself for every thing we discussed about him is a pleasure. Thank you boss

What a fantastic podcast brother. I also didn't see the watch while watching the podcast. Brilliant choice of yours to bring this kind of man to INDIAN BUSINESS PODCAST.
wow sir... you know tamil and speak tamil very nice.Thank you very much sir....i very happy and proud that you understand and reply in tamil language.....
Such a wise and thrill monger man 🫡🫡
What a podcast !!!!!
Think School just levelling up with the podcasts
One of the best interviews I have ever seen. This just remains us to have our faith, hpoe and belief always higher than the insecurities... ❤
I have watched and listened to many podcasts, but this one was special on all the terms, be it the struggles of our lives, relationships, or businesses! Everything is in one place; thanks for the episode Think School.
13.50 Positive mindset 🚫 State Of GRATITUDE ✅✅
Wonderful content Think School. Mr Velumani Sir is so comfortable and comic in explaining his hardships and success, it got me tears and joy to know what he has accomplished so far. Thankyou for bringing him at your bench. Also hats off to you Sir Velumani for being an icon to us.
Ganesh… thoroughly enjoyed the session . Very passionate person
After watching the entire podcast, i can conclude that Velumani sir's life timeline aligned magically favouring him because he was willing to do anything to escape poverty and establish his name into the history. Whatever the language he speaks I'll still listen to him without a single distraction, gaining wisdoms from this legendary icon is worth a billion ❤ Thank you sir.
Really...the podocast uncovered the intellegence of the guest 🎉🎉
Few years back, I had read about Dr. Velumani in a news article ,I got inspired and today I just learnt a lot from this episode.
Thanks to the channel and all the supporting staff
Dr Velumani thank you so much for your presence in the show.
🙏🙏🤠🤠
This man is amazing.. each word out from him is lovable..
Either you do everything in one geography or you do one thing in every geography. I love this.
Wow, nice to hear Tamil from u Ganesh ❤
Thanks!
It was so refreshing to hear your tamil Ganesh! 😄Going to write this in front of my table and look at it daily- Yaru sir antha naalu peru :)
This is the best podcast ever !📈
Richest content ever consumed, thankyou Ganesh and team❤
Wow. Wanted to know the technicality in his achievement. Got it through this interview. Very much informative on how one should know A to Z in a business. it's like you are not doing business, you are actually researching it. Well done. Good job.
A movie must be made on this amazing gentleman by a really committed producer/director and i am sure it will be a hit and it be very educative for all of us!JaiHind!
Title would be "Plate and Slate"
The interview should be shown to university students. It was a classic all rounder on life.Just a pity that BBC, CNN etc dont have this quality of skill and depth .May you go from strength to strength. Omnamasivaya
This was so natural, better to not put time stamp and edit according to time stamps. This is what made this podcast beautiful , this was like reading a good book without index and wonder whats next
I have never watched anything this long without skipping other than a movie , so encouraging, motivated
Very very inspiring thank you so much for such a good podcast. Keep going man. Best one.
Vanakam Sirs.This podcast is beautiful.I am a Reddy girl in South Africa, family came from Tamil Nadu..My father looked like Velumani!.
1.01.06 Good summary of what happened and how simens and Velumani both won and adopted the technology and situation of that time😊😊😊
Next time while Ganesh bro....Ask ur guests to include the years while telling their Journey 😊
26:44 very well said for today's online courses and coaching classes. Only if you are not learning from one you are hoping to one to another teacher the same thing again and again.
About his father - “didn’t have capability to be an employer and didn’t have attitude to be an employee” 👏🏼👏🏼
Very diplomatic way to say he had Survival kills in negative
First time ever I've watched a podcast in one go that too of two hours.
What an amazing journey, very insightful.
Thanks for this Ganesh!!
Think school is changing the lives of youth by bringing us such inspiring podcasts.I hope this podcast will help our young generation to become entrepreneurs
Ganesh is absolute fantastic
Initially hesitant due to the podcast's length, I found myself irresistibly drawn into Dr. Velumani's captivating journey. Once I hit play, I couldn't look away!
Thank you Think School team.
This podcast is like an Autobiography 🎉🎉 loved it.
I love this man!!! Such an exceptional mindset ❤
God bless you think school.. you are doing Gods work. You are meant for this.. keep going..
This is the best video I have watched so far at Think School man.
Truth be told: Your videos are in-depth and I took 3 pages of notes.
Focus and discipline does pay off!!!!!
Enjoyed hearing தமிழ் in think school channel
Man, this was much needed. Very well crafted podcast
Waooo...
This episode is no less compared to reading a great book.
Such eloquence in speech, leaving the listeners in intrigued of what comes next. Massive respect to this man and Ganesh bhai also.
Such an Iconic interview. The last line at the end of this video just made me realise that i truly haven't checked the time throughout this interview. A true living legend, wishing you health and happiness sir.
Seriously..best educational and informative podcast ever 🔥🔥 thanks to both of you
This video saves in my playlist forever. This single video clear my minds a lot. Thank you Think School and his team.
Omg , the every situation turns to movie pictured and turns to goosebumps to our own self....the mind set and dedication pays off unknowingly❤ ❤❤
First time I got goosbumps watching this podcast I never felt before like this
I enjoyed the conversation the way interviewer enjoyed, it is the best in recent times
Wow what a podcast man!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Think School, I gained a lot of knowledge from today's video. The podcast with D r. Arokiaswamy Velumani sir was very remarkable, as it provided valuable insights and knowledge that are essential for life.
I ignore this video because of 2 hours when I saw some shorts of this interview I start watching this
28:06 In this phase, Velumani sir was so proud that he wasn't coached by anyone and achieved everything by himself. After all how can he be so humble? These days when we achieve lil things, we self conceit ourselves and our pride reaches the sky. We really need to learn on how to manage pros and cons of fame.
1.55.10 Summary 😢😢 Family is everything
Yaaru sir andhe naalu peru.... totally unexpected...that was like whatttt ? wowww!
1.36.14 ENOUGH TO MAKE a biopic and add these dialogues of THRILL at all stages of his life journey......A MAN WHO THRIVED HIS LIFE FOR THRILL but we call it merely a RISK....
Under the correct Govt, in the Biopic, they will replace all his real life problems with Brahmin character 😂😂😂😂
@@TheKrish1972🤡wtf you saying
@@TheKrish1972Not if its done in Tamil 😅
Thank you for this episode. It was like watching my life in the mirror. FOCUS is what makes. It drives me harder to complete what I'm doing, completing my book in "Navigating Risk. Embracing Sustainability for SMEs". Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Salut to Dr. Velumani.

We had a case study on Thyrocare in MBA(Great Lakes) written by Suresh Shrinivasan sir. That is one of the greatest classes I have ever been to and listening to the man himself for every thing we discussed about him is a pleasure. Thank you boss
