I have had the pleasure of working under Aseem as a management trainee at HDFC Bank in 2004. He used to head the entire business banking vertical for the bank 2 decades back (with most of the regional heads reporting to him much older than him). He was as cool as a cucumber even then, most approachable and calm under pressure. The other co- founder of his, Mahesh Dayani used to head the western region then reporting into Aseem. He too is another amazing leader, very warm memories of working with him. In the last 2 decades Aseem has risen even further in stature, but the man remains the same. Wiser and more experienced for sure, but still has the same warm vibe. SBFC team is blessed to have leaders like Aseem and Mahesh. I say this with 100% confidence based on my own experience.
He laid principles of team management better than any seasoned professor in ivy college will. What lessons. He seeems to be well read and amazing thing is he is able to keep all of his reading in his mind for so long.
I've been in the Financial Services Industry for 15 years now; having worked with Kotak (as en employee and now as a consultant) and HDFC (as a consultant); Aseem Sir and Mahesh Dayani Sir have been legends. It was great to hear the story and how well read Aseem Sir is. Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation; after Mr. Kamlesh Gandhi of Mas Financial Services Ltd this is the first individual I have heard having so much clarity and understanding of the Financial Services Business. Biggest Take away for me; Buy SBFC for next 15 years horizon. :)
"When we make a sale, money leaves us" - I have never thought of financial services business from this point of view. Amazing insight from Aseem. I always look forward to his Monday morning posts in LinkedIn. Shantanu, thanks for bringing him as the guest.
Mr. Aseem Dhru's words on inflation not even taking into account the healthcare and education is absolutely spot on. Something is fundamentally wrong and it needs to be corrected. I don't see any political willingness from any party to set things right in our country.
Everyone is vulnerable and fears failures but they just pose as very confident. It requires lot of guts and courage to admit that one is vulnerable and is fearful of that.
This video is one of the best, it may stand in the top 2 among all podcasts of BSC... Lot of wisdom... I personally don't like lending businesses, keeping that aside, this person has great skill and wisdom...
The amazing thing about Aseem Dhru is that he raised $100 million and there is air around him. And you see people raising $1 million and they are like "I have arrived". His intent was to build a business and not just raise money and then run away.
One of the best Podcasts by an entrepreneur on RUclips! Mr Aseem Dhru's clarity of thought and his sense of humor are class apart. The episode has so many insights that this is easily my most "re-winded" podcast ever. Shantanu thanks again for such an insight full podcast. You guest selection is legendary!
Thank you. Just thank you for this one. When there is a wave of celebrating entrepreneurship and worshipping founderism, here is what you need to listen to build an organization that can have a position to reflect. Build or work something on, which you can proudly say is 'This is what I have worked on'.
Wow, in just an hour's discussion, Aseem Dhru has quoted Aristotle, Napoleon Bonaparte, Charlie Munger, Jacobi. And also spoken about how seismic zones is one of the inputs in determining Disaster Recovery Site. I am just discovering Aseem Dhru as I start to read about SBFC. I am really interested in knowing his reading list. Books he has read and found very helpful in building his mental models and books he's currently reading.
@thebarbershopwithshantanu6670 - Please help get this information from Aseem if you haven't already asked him this question in this podcast episode. I hope to do my part and send in an email to investor relations of SBFC hoping to get this information.
Hero thinking. Absolutely spot on. Few individuals can not be the owners of entire organisations performance. Distribution of credit for success is totally absent in India's corporate culture. An astute analysis of how to build a financial institution. Time well spent listening to this.
Sir i am an ipo investor in sbfc i was thinking to sell the share of sbfc but after this podcast you have gave me a picture to invest in your vision for 20 year and with the integrity what you have i am sure this will a multibager stock😊
Absolutely enjoyed every minute of almost 2 hours of this podcast. Masterclass for every entrepreneur who wants to build business of any kind! Great blend of business strategy, risk management, philosophy, personal happiness!
This is best use of youtube i think connecting extraordinary smart people to masses that can set motion for nation! Absolutely loved from business journey, though process, articulation and presentation of thoughts by Mr. Aseem start to finish.
Watched straight up 2 Hour Podcast while and now I am thinking how to do Upasna ? Started giving thoughts on risk assesment on what can go wrong in my business. Got a good insight overall on how Institutional Managerial Personnel think. Good One it is
Beg to differ on the point he makes about car loans. Yes, while the average loan amount per customer for car loans has risen from ₹3 lakhs to ₹9 lakhs, so have the prices of cars. I can't think of any "good" car that you can buy (with all the bells and whistles) for anything less than a sticker price of ₹10 lakhs or so.
i was just about to sell my SBFC shares i got from the IPO, thinking that it is not growing. but i think i should keep it a bit longer considering the work the company is doing.
Our economy is facing challenges due to uncertainties, housing problems, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the lingering effects of the pandemic, leading to instability. The rising inflation, slow growth, and trade disruptions require immediate action from all sectors to restore stability and promote economic recovery.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
With my busy schedule, I struggle to find time for in-depth investment analysis. For the past seven years, I have entrusted a fiduciary to oversee my portfolio, effectively adjusting to market fluctuations and providing valuable insights for strategic decision-making. I highly recommend considering a similar approach for those seeking successful financial navigation and well-informed investment choices.
This is definitely considerable! Do you think you could suggest any professionals or advisors I can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
4:58 : Sir, this number of 6.8 crore small businesses is every where. What is the source ? In a country where we may have 25 crore households with 3/4 of the population in farming, are we saying that every 4th household has a business going ? Then who is employed ? Repeat a number enough and we run the risk of making it look like a fact.
Bang on… this country has so poor financial knowledge.. 5cr in Bank and fighting for cc charges.. it’s every day phenomenon.. RM gets frustrated dealing with such people.. but they are the customers
Shantanu, your products are not worth it. The positioning of your brand ie we should be the first shaving brand a new adult picks is not what your product's perception show. Imagine buying a tube of shaving gel, you unscrew the cap and it's flowing out or rather oozing out, a simple seal would have enhanced the experience there, it's standard, even cheap products do that where no one thinks of user experience. Don't even think of positioning yourself in the ladder with big giants. It didn't smell any different than the one used by barbers and uncles go to barbers for getting them shaved. Where is the positioning driven differentiation here? I liked your podcast with Mr. Kapil Chopra, great that you have access to these gentlemen and they share behind the scenes, but your products are not worth it. There are two types of products, one we use and can't wait to tell our F&F if they ask for recommendations and then there are those that we use and make sure no one uses it. Bombay Shaving was the second.

Thank you for letting him talk, it’s a pleasure to listen to him.
Best guest till date...so humble and awesome clarity
He laid principles of team management better than any seasoned professor in ivy college will. What lessons. He seeems to be well read and amazing thing is he is able to keep all of his reading in his mind for so long.
Aseem is one of those people who I follow diligently. A great human being with humility and tremendous wisdom.
His thoughts that he posts every Monday on Linkedin are brilliant.

He is very humble and straightforward
Very good at physics but somehow ventured into finance 🙂
Everyone is vulnerable and fears failures but they just pose as very confident. It requires lot of guts and courage to admit that one is vulnerable and is fearful of that.

What a gem of podcast.. I will keep coming back again and again. So much to learn, absorb and apply. Thank you Shantanu for having Aseem ji 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
The amazing thing about Aseem Dhru is that he raised $100 million and there is air around him. And you see people raising $1 million and they are like "I have arrived". His intent was to build a business and not just raise money and then run away.
Run away
the other people whom you described aren't called entrepreneurs, they're called opportunists.
mu ma la bhai phir
sorry😑
One of the best Podcasts by an entrepreneur on RUclips!

Awesome thoughts😊

It's all about selling narrative. Do your own due diligence before taking decision.

Just research the name Desiree Ruth Hoffman. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
Inspiring !!
Amazing episode, truth bombs being dropped, enjoyed it
I must confess i have watched this video like i eat chocolates, very slowly n letting it melt . Thats when you get the max pleasure out of it.
I feel like this man should have been HDFCs CEO. Its the company's loss
Can anyone help "how is this page able to list there products under each video with their website link ?" ??
Average car cost 6.5 Lakhs not 9 and 10 Lakhs

Hold SBFC for Target 250+.
Dont forget to like once we are there 😊
49:03 what is this ILFS?
❤
Please let asaseem dhru talk.....unnecessary u r disturbing him in between. Just a feedback.
Sleeps for 7½ hours - perfect. Bec you wake up at the end of the sleep cycle.
Bang on… this country has so poor financial knowledge.. 5cr in Bank and fighting for cc charges.. it’s every day phenomenon.. RM gets frustrated dealing with such people.. but they are the customers
Health and education are part of CPI
Why SBFC promoter is selling continuously his shares
sab bakwas. Agar loan ke liye property rakhna hai toh tu kya sab dega paisa,
2 line mei dimaag dikha diye, sir. Ekdum khaali. 😝
Voice is very bad
Boring monologue
Shantanu, your products are not worth it. The positioning of your brand ie we should be the first shaving brand a new adult picks is not what your product's perception show.
Imagine buying a tube of shaving gel, you unscrew the cap and it's flowing out or rather oozing out, a simple seal would have enhanced the experience there, it's standard, even cheap products do that where no one thinks of user experience.
Don't even think of positioning yourself in the ladder with big giants.
It didn't smell any different than the one used by barbers and uncles go to barbers for getting them shaved. Where is the positioning driven differentiation here?
I liked your podcast with Mr. Kapil Chopra, great that you have access to these gentlemen and they share behind the scenes, but your products are not worth it.
There are two types of products, one we use and can't wait to tell our F&F if they ask for recommendations and then there are those that we use and make sure no one uses it. Bombay Shaving was the second.
