It has come a long way since then with a tremendous response to our first episode with Mark Mobius. The audience motivated me to keep continuing the show from Day 1 with their positive feedback. Going forward, I plan to host thought leaders in various subjects. My endeavor is to highlight the out-in view of India, which has been missing so far in regular business content for business and industry executives.
