Hey Ganesh truly loved the podcast with Varun gupta & also the fact that he answered everything in so much detail & depth & not on surface level unlike other founders. He was truly on the podcast for helping out young & new entrepreneurs. & Not for building his personal brand image or PR for himself. Truly enlightened with the knowledge today. Keep up the good work Thanx once again
Boult is indeed a rising brand in the Indian E-commerce sector. But personally I prefer Boat and not for quality of products, but for after sale service they provide. Last year my Boult headphones suddenly stopped working, which was in warranty. I went to the service center with my headphones, where they stated that I need to submit the original box and accessories with headphones to avail the warranty. Who the hell keeps around a useless box for 10 months after purchase. I know this is a small issue, but it is a major point that differentiates Boat and Boult for me.
@@randell07i'm not sure which project duct you are talking about but I used their warranty a lot many times and got new earphones if it can't be repaired.
why so much of hate in comments .. I don't understand. this guy has built something bootstrapped ...and carcked an already crowded industry ... show some respect.
All three wearable brands are 🤮🤮. If at all you have to invite someone from Smartphone or wearable brands, then Sunil Raina of Lava is more deserving as they have brought about massive improvement in products in terms of product quality, aftersales service and update policy in last 2 years and so their market share has started to grow.
Brought a pair of boult tws for 999 a year ago - after one of my boat 2k tws stopped working even after claiming warranty. Really good product and working very fine till now. Value for money and good sound quality.
I Never Used Any Product From His Brand & Also From Boat.... Becouse I Don't Like Their Design Options Some Good Designs But I Didn't Like Them.. Don't know About Boult But Boat Import From Chaina & Redesign Then Sale..... So I M Using Realme For Wired & Wireless Neckband.... But Yeah Loved This Episode ❤ Becouse he Also started A Growing Business 😊
Crushing? I bought their smartwatch in a sale once after going through so many video reviews and my initial opinion was Great but then after 2 weeks the dial stopped working, I tried to contact both the retailer and the company but no response... That watch is still lying somewhere in my room and i haven't worn it since it was broken 😔💔
Iam huge fan of boult , past 5 years back I used wires earphones , I love the quality , since that iam using boult only , this is my 3rd product from boult , now iam hearing you from boult ear buds
No, this is okay... The podcast is not about celebrating a person/brand. Podcast is about how a company/person/brand is presently nailing or surviving a Fast Moving Market!
@@shamithail2611 that's the point, they may fail down in next 5 years, you never know. The business strategy they used/shared in interview could be worst in the long run. It's too early to assume they are on the right path and take their inputs

Great work with this series of podcasts and analysis. Thank you so much for the content, the analysis and everything business. I forgot to reply on the comment asking feedback and this series is one of best I have seen till date. Thank you, keep up the great work and NO THIS IS NOT BORING. The reel maker can serve the attention hungry GenZ. Please keep making this content
Even the name "Boult" sounds like they want to capitalize on popularity of boat brand. Like cheap sellers selling boult headphone to people who don't know spelling and thinking it's the boat brand.
The sector of products that the guest belongs to does not have any innovation whatsoever. They aren't anything other than marketing companies, which isn't wrong but not something that leads to an insightful podcast. Please consider calling founders of Ather Energy, Log9 batteries, Pixxel, etc. These are some people that have actually innovated and came out with their product rather than just white labelling. Hope you take this criticism well and improve your guests.
Exactly, a lot of guests in this podcast have been marketing gimmicks of so and so worth of Rupees companies instead of actual innovative people and companies which have a very unique thought process and approach to things.
Selling rebranded shtty products from China is not so tough, people are already doing that, look around the internet. It's not so hard to buy stuff at wholesale from AliExpress, Alibaba etc. And then if you can get in contact with an actual wholesaler from China, it's just money after that. All these people do is putting up their logo on each one and repackaging it.
Unke jaisa capital nahi h naa. And tbh I would prefer to do my own R&D and then cater to Indian Masses. All these chinese earphones are just Meh. Nothing in comparison with Sennheiser, Bose, Sony, AKG and even Apple @@suprimtailor
A great learning for me, there's no way Ganesh heard India 1,2 & 3 for the first time but instead of ignoring it as common knowledge or submitting own opinion he asks the person who's context matters. I learned, Sometimes it's good to not speak.
Excellent analysis of various sectors of the market. Can you do a podcast with your deep insight and emphasis on education specially for primary schools and lower income groups ie majority of population. The absorption of educational concepts are not fed in properly at tender age thus hampering higher studies and also the build up of national economy.
request: can you invite the boat cofounder aman gupta sir, i hope they can give a different perspective in same category, and also for how they beat their competitor and what is their approach about boult and noise and others, and what is their approach about other tech categories products and international expension, i hope aman gupta at business podcast is very helpfull
I would be mostly commenting on any of the videos of think school for the first time. But this is genuine feedback. Firstly it is not an easy task to build something this big, and kudos to the founder of Boult audio. Building a company with 700-750 CR of revenue is just great! But in reality all these brands how big are they have been, they are creating a scam in terms when they say they are selling smart watches, which is not smart. It is not possible to build and sell a smart watch in just 1-2 K. Other brands like Apple or Samsung they charge premium but at the same time give you the functionality. As there's a demand, but many people don't know what an actual smart watch does. Similarly in TWS space, just the claims are big but durability and quality of sound cannot expected in such dirt cheap price. The part in which he was explaining the thought behind every product was so forcefully establishing the connect. This is just an opinion and many might not agree. PS: Kudos to Think School for producing such amazing content.
This is my first time hearing about this brand through your video. It might be too early for a podcast, but I'm watching it anyway because Boat products are poorly built. Let's see the insights.
@@Brookpic_remson I'm talking about boat only. Read my comment again, i never heard of boult before. So how could I know about the quality of it? This guy must have knowledge about their compititor.
Let me ask something What is the main practical use of smartwatch other then health care or fitness which can be achieved (only/ in better quality) then using a smartphone
This episode felt really incomplete, at the end I find out 2.5 hours is chopped out and it makes sense. Felt like we didn't enough on where they're headed and more like that
All three are mediocre when it comes to quality and durability. Boat is comparatively better is all. The lesser said regarding those umpteen smartwatch brands. Pathetic customer care or brick and mortar service centres. Buy if budget is an issue. Otherwise stick to standard legacy oems. I have the nirvana ion that said- average sound quality with good battery life.
Hell with the "Boat" service - I went to an authorised service boat centre to get replacement for "charger cable". Instead of speeding the process by accepting the faulty cable, they told me 1) You raise a ticket.... Valid point & already raised 2) A guy will come to doorstep for collection 3) Guys will test for quality checking 4) Final decision will be made by Boat team This whole thing may take somewhere upto 2 weeks. Why the hell I will have 2 chargers worth 600-800 rupees plus with me ? Is every Indian this much rich to bear the cost of standby product?
It would be gr8 if you started with how your guests started their business. Business needs money. How much did they start with and how did they get that money?
Great insights Varun. Loved how detailed and well structured your replies were to the podcast. Ganesh.. you are doing a fabulous job. I think I made a mistake by enrolling into an MBA course 😂 I am learning much more of it through your podcasts.. good work bro.. 👍
Boult headphones and earphones are way better than boat in terms of sound quality and overall built quality, I am telling from my experience , I have bought several wireless and wired boat product but they actually feel cheap when compared to pric.
crushing ? lol their product are pretty bad NGL, my samsung buds 2 died and used one of these product temporarily since i had it available, they were pretty bad like unusably bad
I bought boult products two times after one year not working then warranty claim they tell to send product ... When i purchased boat it working properly if u have any issue the send u new one boat is best
I think your audio production unit uses live audio record function & thus decreases the audio of the person not talking, & then again Parsh speaks or reacts sometime to the interviewee. I have always wondered why the audio was like that, I just figured I guess. I think you should remove that filter so that we could hear your head nods & hmm hmm also.
Boult is a third class brand . Even i had guarantee they told u have to bear the delivery fees of sending that headphones in delhi .. even they said replacement gonna happen or not it depends,we are not sure
Boat and Boult really fall short when it comes to both product and service quality. They don't even have manufacturing units in India, just rebranding cheaply made products from China. There's no real R&D going on. When it comes to warranty claims, it's a nightmare-you have to ship the product to their service center yourself, only to have them reject your claim with some random excuse.
I don’t agree with his outlook on D to C. Yes i agree that companies should first focus on listing its products on marketplaces and offline stores but ones your visibility increases on these 2 channels customers will directly start searching for you and after that point of time u should start going for D to C . U will save a lot of CAC as you already have created huge visibility on marketplaces and offline stores and also enjoy high margins as it is lowest in D to C plus your logistics cost will also be on lower side as u will get benefit of economies of scale due to large volume being transported as a result of huge demand of your products.
All of these drop shipping companies disguised as tech companies need to go. Their products are low quality crap. Their cheap prices in a cost conscious market is what keeps them afloat.

But I Never Used So I Can't Say About Sound Comfort Or After Sale Services.

Realme is also from china btw
Realme is Chinese
Chinese but better than boat boalt etc etc😂😂😂🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bought Boult primarily coz of aesthetics ...their products look really good but realized that quality wise also very good and really affordable!

Hey
Why there are not chapters in this podcast ? as i remember you have chapters in veeba podcast
Haven't watched the video but feels as if this is a sponsorship from the title
Maybe watch it then. Business case studies are usually like this. Focused on one particular brand and their details.
I hate all three and Apple Watch for destroying the fitness band market.
They used to be so good and so cheap.
It would be gr8 if you started with how your guests started their business. Business needs money. How much did they start with and how did they get that money?

Boult headphones and earphones are way better than boat in terms of sound quality and overall built quality, I am telling from my experience , I have bought several wireless and wired boat product but they actually feel cheap when compared to pric.
Frankly neither boult nor boat provides quality
Arre Bhai timestamps bhi diya karo 😮💨
I think. in Wearable Brand Have To Improve the Product Quality especially Boat And Boult
Any wireless earphones or headphones is waste of money. Wired ones with 1/3 to 1/2 price give similar if not better audio quality
Go for IEMs for quality output.
Varun isn't even wearing a watch made by his own company . That tells a lot of things.
He's not wearing a watch at all. Not everyone likes watches. I'm one of them.
i think thereby is his fav word
This Podcast is everything but how bolt is killing boat & noise
Can you do a case on Rise and Fall of Snapdeal
