23k views on this video -> assuming just 10k people watched it -> assuming 5k people are interested in business -> assuming 1k people would think of starting the business -> assuming 100 people would start the business -> assuming 2-5 business succeed. These 2 - 5 businesses would end up employing many people. Just imagine what impact you are creating Raj on people's lives. Really loving your podcasts keep going.

True visionary, I met him 2005 when we were implementing Microsoft Dynamics ERP for his business. The way Deep and Rajesh- then CFO handled the implementation was with clear vision for future. Deep was crystal clear where he wanted to take MMT to. They deserve all the success. Till today we use MMT sitting at home in Dubai for all our global travel

You are doing a very good job . I have worked with MMT for 4 years and can tell you deep was the most respected person out there . And when deep mentioned couple of times to your questions that it’s a good point that you are making itself shows that raj you are doing a wonderful job as a contentpreneur . Well done Raj

[@manpreetbedi9580]

Hey Raj, Keep bringing these amazing people you unlike other podcasts which only focus on celebrities and known faces and then trying to get controversial statements by rapid fires and stupid conversation plus also interrupting the speaker in between that is truly irritating to a viewer. What you are doing good. -relevant speakers -healthy conversation -relatable content What you can improve -take poll from audience and ask top asked questions -more insight on the soeaker path and values Good Luck

[@krickfans]

Your interviews are done well & i like that u allow the person being interviewed to speak fully, without interruption...

[@shriyashah9051]

Hi Raj! Amazing podcast - lots of learnings :) One tiny feedback: Can you also ask about and include a section on unit economics or the business model of every business leader you get on your podcast? Like what all is MMT into? Why did they venture out to include accomodations/hotel bookings? Did the unit economics make sense for them? If it didn't when they started, then what were the strategies undertaken to make it work? Not sure if my request is super clear but hope you got the gist, thank you so much!

[@iamabhayrathore]

In next conversation you can ask questions like 1. in early stage if we are feeling that things are getting out of control or we are not able to manage everything should we hire employees or get a new co-founder? 2. How equity should the splitted between co-founders ? 3. How to resolve co-founders conflict about finalising a decision and what if both are not agreeing on a single decision? 4. How to resolve co-founders conflict ? 5. After you on board a new co-founder in your team and now you realised he is not the right fit for your startup due to many reasons for eg. (Vision is not alligned, he don't wark hard enough etc) what can you do now ?

[@insidertroop]

Hey Raj, one of the best podcasts watched so far. This video is in my wishlist since long time till the time it came. I knew I had to watch. My takeaways - Deep Kalra has understood the process where you need to passionate about whatever you wanna do in life which is big enough for yourself and think enough to succeed in areas be product, studies, reading, going into entrepreneurship etc. Let me know if this is correct or not. Happy to hear others jump in. But deep down you have to be honest with yourself day one. Otherwise what are we as people doing. Plus you need to gather experiences like go and travel and explore how beautiful places are. How technology is changing these days. How tech AI is coming and make it use to your case where you can be creative enough to stand out and make sure at the end it is providing you value plus it is also at the same time going to help others. 🥰 Absolutely loved your podcast. All. Thank you for sharing. Sorry couldn't resist.

Just completed watching the full podcast and I was just amazed with the amount of knowledge I got from this podcast. Really thank you so much Raj for this amazing conversation. There are really fewer people who does a podcast with the business giants which are unknown to most people, even I heard about Deep kalra sir first time from your podcast and was shocked by his knowledge and experience. Most podcasters do podcasts with well-known businesspeople who are already popular on social media. So I would love to watch some new business tycoons on your channel and would like to take their fantastic knowledge and experience :)

[@tarangkhandelwal2337]

Good podcast , just think some more tech oriented questions could have been included. Ex: Thoughts on AI, how can it change MMT experience & business?

[@Aussiepeoplestats]

Raj.. I am a regular follower of your podcast n u r doing great. I just wanted to tell you what I think of this one. My intention is not to defame anyone. Makemytrip was listing homestays without d permission of d owners. I brought this to the notice of deep kalra and he did nothing. Families with kids travelled far to reach these homestays in Karnataka but were turned back. Their booking wasn't real. Deep kalra showed no sense of apology. It appeared as though money was d priority at all costs. I presented them with enough unquestionable evidence. No admittance or denial from their side. What a shame.

[@Aussiepeoplestats]

If any sense of ethics exists in this world, u will pull down this podcast episode

[@akshayupasani6345]

Hey man, as you have very limited time with these guest i think you should try to ask more questions from business making pov , about their strategies, how they built their brand, their struggles and learnings ,how they are incorporating the new tech into system , how they perceive their competition and compete with them, rather than asking about their personal likes and dislikes ,eg.their fav airline/hotel etc. Dont get me wrong, hearing about their personal life is also entertaining but i think as entreprenuers we would like to know the businessman inside them more.
