The location in the intro is Adarsh palm retreat
Pura Flipkart and ex-Flipkart veterans udhar hee rehte hain.
DPS, IIT, parents and grandparents who are lawyers-common folks, take a breath. Don't be too hard on yourselves or question why you're not where others are. Consider this: if you had similar privileges, you might have achieved success like Sujeet.
Many startup founders follow a predictable career trajectory. They often hail from families with one parent employed by the central government, attend KV schools, study at IITs, and then either work in the US or in consulting. Eventually, they venture into entrepreneurship, often with the backing of VCs through their networks or connections from college.
Their life paths are distinct.
To compete with them, you need to get your act together swiftly. Your learning curve must be steep if you want to stand a chance.
God i love how unfilterd this conversation is , i am amazed that they are talking about critical things with a sense of humour taking it seriously gets people offended or the converation always gets awkward or silence or awkward silence .
Meghana enjoyed the episode. Her giggles :)
Good to hear positive things from him about the city during his stay from 2008 onwards.
Loved Sujeet in the episode. Such an open hearted, kind, confident and also a beautiful minded person, no wonder he came into angel investor business...We need more soulful mentor and industry leaders like Sujeet Kumar sir...
Hosting him tomorrow for a podcast, what do you think we should ask him?
WTF Community: please record few episodes on water conservation and harvesting given the current crisis in Bangalore. Very much needed to spread for the coming future
Yeah, get Anand Malligavad on the show!
shout out to Sujeet for being so honest and upfront with his views.
We can except next episode with Nithin Kamath 😍
sujeeet is such a good man and his laugh is very contagious ...Keep creating such content..I only consume WTF's content for entertainment..Keep up the good work guys Bilal and Meghna..!
Need more videos on this channel. Great Idea !!!
Great Watch
this might be the funniest episode even in coming future
I love the open conversation where this guy who works really does something great and shares their experience more like in a friends conversation not an interview
So please continue to do this
Hi guy, I really like this new series of yours.. something different at the same time meaningful. Tapping different side successful ppl.
You have to get Sujeet kumar again this guy was so interesting fun and humorous 😍😍
Hosting him tomorrow for a podcast, what do you think we should ask him?
Awesome Sujeet Bhaiyaji...Lagey Raho!
Really enjoyed the whole conversation. Keep doing guys.
Meghana, Bilal, Sujet really enjoyed this episode. Loved it 😍
Keep making such wonderful content 🎉 Love from odisha❤
How come we don't realise this was 1 hr 10 mins long! Loved it
You guys took the best person here 😂
Loved his laugh & experiences 🔥
Loved the episode. WTF team, work on your questions pls
We really like this content.. Keep the good work up guys. 🎉
PLEASE MAKE MORE CONTENT
LOVING IT.
I see lot of startup entrepreneur podcast.. some of these guys r my age..how much they have achieved..it's phenomenal also they look n talk in such simple way ..no suit ,no complex terms or giving half answers,not so serious.. Still their organisations have made huge impact on all Indian's lives..kudos do more n more good startups.. blessings..
i also belong from the same place he is and also in Bengaluru right now, proud of him, hope that i'll become like him one day.
Bilal some of your questions were random and a little naive, I understand this is a fun new age show but general knowledge is basic. Meghna rather has a good way of asking questions and maybe her prior work experience reflects onscreen too.
The guest in question is so chill and honest…who would have thought Bhabhuaaaaaaa se…. Someone would do so well. Sujeet your laughter is contagious and Your clarity and honesty is enviable or something one would want to imbibe.
Bring back Sujeet again. He is superb funny inspirational and obviously his contagious laugh 😂
Nice one. Bilal and Meghna you guys make a cool duo for this series!
It says WTF is Bangalore but I’m 20 minutes in and there has been no talk of Bangalore or his experience here except for a sprinkling of Kannada words. Talk about Bangalore. Places to eat. Places to go. The art. The music. The “Addas”. His area boys. All through the guest’s eyes, ofcourse. Man’s funny though. Refreshing and chill. Was it engaging - yes, mostly owing to the guest. But was it Bangalore centric - no.
The interviewers also need to research better, prepare better questions and most importantly let the guest finish speaking.
😂😂😂😂😂
Well, said 🙌 hope the team takes this & inculcates. And I also hope they change it into Bengaluru as well 🙏
Don’t make your guest lose the plot of what they want to convey by unnecessarily intervening to complete what they want to say and your body language and tone is frivolous almost to a point of cringe, a person who is accomplished seemed more humble.
They literally reach Satya’s Koramangala at 23 mins snd the local Bangalore story starts from there.. Hard Luck!
Love this❤
Whta fun ya! He seems so nice! so genuine!
This is one hilarious episode. So relatable.
Great Content
I agree with him 100% it's not always about the money. Mentorship is sometimes even more important. Look forward to you starting your community.
WTF !!just so unfiltered. Keep this going guysss. Going thru insecurities of these top minds :)
i Can relate this, i have been to bangalore banerghatta area for a period of six months in 2015. Things must have changed a lot. But i miss my old Andra friend who used to run the mess there. miss those cool bridge in the evening.
Nice episode
Sujeet sir ❤❤
Good one guys, keep doing....
inspiring and fun at the same time🔥
He is literally saying 'Am I right' in every sentence....looks like he was training some soldiers...
was waiting for this including nikhil
wtf, the intro area looks like dubai ngl
Where does he live
Kya observation hai, maan gaye
I understand from where are you coming from waah sahi hai
guys where is this locaiton in bglr where sujjeeth sir lives?, seriously looks like beverly hills California sort of
Sujeet doesn't do fake laugh. The way he laugh genuine😂
❤
Damn Sujeet is a vibe 🔥
How can the female host of the show not know the movie, Life is Beautiful! It is an Academiy award winning film which defined a generation. Also, what is thing about bashing all other cities in India, other than Banagalore, specially Delhi. It is really not cool to that! No city can compete with the infrastructure and bandwith of Delh and Mumbaii. Moreover, it is one nation! Delhi and Mumbai bashing is not necessary, for Banagalore to shine. If you want this show to be Bangalore centric, focus on it's strengths rather than criticising other cities unnecessarily. Make Bangalore's line longer, rather than attempting to erase the lines of other prolofic cities of India ❤
1:08:31 just love the way Bilal suddenly becomes superactive and says ek viral reel milgayi shows how well aware he’s about social media 😂😂
How come Bilal don’t know UPSC is after the JEE
Seriously! Cringeworthy
I was also shocked at that point in podcast.
I thought ki ye Bilal Earth ka hi hai na. Ki he has travelled from Mars or Any other plannet😂😂.
How can you not laugh when Sujeet Sir laughs😂
WE NEED A QNA WITH NIKHIL FROM 18 - 25 YEAR OLDS WHO ARE THINKING OF START UP VENTURE
Feeling proud a being a Bihari 🙈
Nice episode! Let's take moment to appreciate the auto driver for keeping up with a Range Rover!
His name is Shiva, and I met him the day before and I said will you do this special project and he was on point :)
@@lifeisameghazine great! Now get some more episodes please. I need them for my long flight :)
Amazing episode
can WTF or anyone tell me where I pitch or contact Nikhil or Sujeet Kumar (I have a start-up idea)
thank you sujeet sir
First ill get some experience
Loved the episode. But it was less about the Sujeet-Blore connection; you would obviously expect that aspect of it explored more considering the podcast is about seeing Bangalore through his lens. Random politics questions etc were quite confusing from a context perspective. Another thing some speakers need a little nudge and a little time to complete their thoughts and get it into words. Please allow them to complete. Ex: section where you ask his son’s 2nd question but it goes into this complete tangent and back to back questions about father son relationship before he says anything.
I have a question. Why do IITian,s in general have a thought of becoming a founder. What kind of exposure do they get that other colleges in India don’t have. If IIT can set a template for other colleges may be it will help the country
They get Funding very easily and if you get that then you will also create a Sucessful Company i.e.the chances gets higher.
In Chanakya Neeti Chanakya has said For a Sucessful Buisness its kosha should be overflowing. Kosha means Money,Funds.
But that doesn't mean ki Funding mil jaye to sucess confirm hai No Many Fail but the reason is again if they don't get Funding in subsequent rounds that's why they fail. And for getting funding in Subsequent Rounds you need certain Revenue and then if with same funding other person is Bringing more Revenue then he will get it. But Sometimes its just the Network Effects of IItians Help. If a VC Fund Manager is also a IItian and If Entrepreneur taking Funding is also Iitian. So that Networking Effects are also there. And other Things Like Consistency Perseverance Patiance Discipline wo bhi hai which are basic Requirements.
Sujeet should work on a script called "Gangs of Founders"
Sujit is my all time fav
Nice podcast wtf team, next bring adit from meesho
Where is new one?
has has k pagal hogaya bhaiii
goooooddddd podcastttt
Sujeet's laugh = Gabbar 😂
damn bro hes a vibe
Bilal is great , charming and sorry to say Meghana is just spoiling this entire show( too much of vague questions and zero clarity). Hopefully if she goes away, the show can be more enriching.
guysss! seriously tryout the Classic Cold Coffee of Third Wave.
Passed through our office campus RMZ Ecoworld😜
In terms of tech banglore is ahead but if you talk about manufacturing and all you can't beat gujarat by 1 %.
Gujarat capabilities are more than banglore you must know.
It is a great initiative but why it is focused on city (Bangalore)
It's ok I'm from UP love banglore
This guys laugh is additctive lol😝
in Gujarat is very good startup but they know how to make profit not only raise capital .
This guy had too much practical knowledge, they were unable to unlock it from him, and I do think the majority of audience are the people,who follow nikhil's show. Need to change the questions bro... So that we can belive that we can also become like them...
Anyhow it is drunk comment.
Sujeet is a perfect replacement for Archana Puran Singh
I WATCHED IT FOR MEGHANA
which area in Bengaluru is this??
its a villa complex near Koramangala, near bellandur lake
What is "patra", "batta"? Meghana, as a kannadiga, please correct it when you hear people say it wrong. It is "pathre", "batte"
level of research and ground understanding 😂😂😂 15:25
Bring Richard on coming episodes
what’s the location in intro?
its a villa complex near Koramangala
It looks like adarsh palm retreat in rmz eco world
15:13 Here i Felt like Bilal kya Mars se aya hai ki kya😂😂 Bhai sabko JEE aur UPSC toh at least pata hi hai.
Haan Clat,Gate,GMAT,GRE ye exam shayad utne logo nai pata honge but at least JEE and UPSC toh sabko pata hai.
Me trying to guess the areas which they are driving through😅
Adarsh palm retreat😅
@meghna when is next video coming
55:03 ghanta socha tha! XD
sujeet apne employees ko lay off karte hue podcasts pe aajaata hai. ye bhi theek hai bhai
I thought u are interviewing IKKA.. they both look same 😅
But who is Bilal's father? What's the political connection?
I can see the licence plate
It's not bengalore.... it's Bengaluru 💛❤
Gujarat is gujarat because the companies that have been built in Gujarat are decades old which no other city or state haven’t done, that what dhanda is
The podcast is supposed to be wtf is blr bu is wtf is sujeet kumar
looks like ikka
Man should start doing Standup
how can someone go mistakely to IIT 😁😁😁
I feel no color grading is done😢
To me, seems little over exposed
