Founding ISB & Ashoka, Working With Governments Across The World and The Problem With IITs | FULL EP

[@sanketgole6344]

This is the first episode in which shantanu is just listening. It's that engaging ❤

​@@airyanemvaejah3221 The Ashoka University episode is very sad

[@AlexanderIsDead]

If only he restricted himself to drinks!! I mean, the crunching noise while he was snacking was irritating, don't ya agree?

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

​@@AlexanderIsDeadCrunching?....I thought those were barber farts....

[@BrokenRecord-i7q]

I studied at Ashoka my sister studied at Naropa on a full scholarship, they didn't ask what caste I was, only on the basis of needs and merit. Thanks to this visionary🙏!

[@kaulkaul8898]

they do not have caste quotas ?

[@BrokenRecord-i7q]

@@kaulkaul8898 As private institutions caste-based reservation is not there but need-based support is immense!

[@shubha987]

​@@BrokenRecord-i7q wow need to said😊! I hope this becomes reality in our country....

[@rakshit8570]

They wont ask for ur caste but will play a huge role to define why ur oppressed in every way of life by imaginary someone, they will make concession for gender fluids rather than a normal person, also the more woke u r the more money/ sponsorship u will get. Also not opposite view of extreme leftist will be tolerated there. - Welcome to Ashoka University our one and only woke university where we all will shit on India and embrace Christianity and Islam otherwise if Hindu u r automatically are intolerant. Also we are civilized by Brits - according to professors of university, and dont dare u challenge it otherwise u will suffer ur whole time. Also we take funds from foreign NGO to run propaganda in India with the likes of Gerorge Soros, and many agencies which are always anti india.

[@adisj5696]

its woke af though. and you dont need ashoka, alot of private universities dont have reservations even before ashoka

[@tejaswi1995]

The art of story telling by Pramath is unparalleled. Thank you for this wonderful podcast!!

[@sarthak7617]

The eating in between feels sometimes wierd, but the podcast of this guy is one of the best on YT

[@rohitmehta1216]

Shantanu jyada chaba rha hai..😂😂

[@amarpabalkar2677]

@sarthak7617 thanks for talking my heart. He was distracted while talking something really interesting…Shantanu should take care of this next time.

[@mandarsalunkhe09]

He was Lucky to get such professor. Love his perspective and experiences. Thanks Shantanu for bringing him on this podcast.

[@aveekbaruah5023]

The best Barbershop podcast till date, and probably one of the best interviews I have listened to ever.

[@ksaha6387]

This is one interview I'll probably be watching multiple times over !..😂 A life lived to the fullest !

[@kartikeysingh2705]

Great interview! Kept me engaged right till the end - valuable lessons in institution building. As an ISB alum, will always have great respect and gratitude for our Founding Dean :)

[@TrisomyTwoOne]

Few months ago I read 'Madam Sir', it was fascinating and inspiring. Now knowing about her brother is equally impactful. Thanks a ton Shantanu and team for bringing such a great podcast. 💝

[@prashant9267]

damn top 5 podcasts of my life, I am not very vocal bout my bihar roots but ppl like Pratham sir, make me wanna say it wid pride. Thanks ps- if possible get rajat sir on the podcast

[@yvekm]

Every one should go through this video. Story of the person behind a great institution like ISB & Ashoka

[@Mulkitron]

Absolutely inspiring. This episode has single-handedly provoked me to reinitiate my education and reevaluate my professional life. Thank you Pramath Sir, Shantanu and the team at Barbershop for creating this.

[@iamshantanumishra]

Absolutely blown my Pramath journey, I can only say one word that is wow. Great Work Shantanu

[@vikashrkeshri8484]

The Barbershop with Shantanu was a great session; I enjoyed listening to each and every word by Pramath Raj Sinha. As someone from Patna, the narrative of his early days was very nostalgic. Also, as public health researchers, we also hardly focus on the great ideas and lessons that business and consultancy can offer. As a sequel to this podcast, I listened to many interviews of Rajat Gupta; what a gem of a person; his every word sounded like a chapter. Next, I am eager to read 'Mind without Fear' Thanks for opening a new worldview and helping in giving a new lens to our critical thinking

[@shrutikumari5815]

So privileged to have studied at AshokaU. And even more grateful for having taught by this legend Pramath Raj Sinha. Grateful to be mentored by him through my career.

[@prashant9267]

Every time I listen to 2:26:00 it just brings sadness n pain, like why & how does legacy of a man who in a way built world's most powerful consultancy firm is put through such trials of court & life.

[@rakshit8570]

haha, if u know how to play victim and cry after running ur institution from foreign anti india funds, also from extreme leftist and woke funds given by US with the likes of Geroge soros who funds most with CIA to create unrest.

[@sunitanair6659]

Wow wow.what a conversation..thank you for getting Parmanth Sir on

[@vaidyapraveen]

This was worth spending more than two hours, listening to him was great education itself🎉

[@sayantanic7005]

Thank you would be an understatement to bring up this episode with such a personality having unimaginable wisdom, intellect, experience and an attitude to adore. It's a multi time watch. Shantanu, I would request you to bring episodes on the Indian education system especially higher education. It would be highly appreciated. Thank you, keep doing the fabulous work. Best wishes.

[@drpratik_sahoo]

The conversation just blew my mind!!! Such rich insights from a person who has “made things happen”. Thank You Shantanu!

[@raunakrander5887]

The cat has nine lives, and this man had 90, it's interesting how many changes a person can through, and leave a lasting legacy behind.

[@vaidyaray8041]

One of the best Podcasts I have ever heard. Was having a bit of existential crisis on the weekend - however listening to this recharged my senses. A must listen!

[@shashanknaik1604]

This channel is the best Indian podcast channel by far... Beerbiceps comes nowhere close

[@DINASINGH-u6i]

Pramath is every inch a typical kayasth..full of street smartness and shrewdness, made an extraordinary career out of less than ordinary persona(including intellectual part). Amazing success story of an ever evolving gentleman!

[@vedantagarwal1918]

I study at UC Berkeley right now and I’ve faced the exact same problems that he talked about facing at IIT Kanpur and till day there hasn’t been a solution found for accommodating for each student at universities

[@typicalindian1238]

Go bears! 🐻

[@utsavpatodia1085]

Mind = Blown! This is pure insight @Shantanu and @Pramath. Keeping me hooked for ~3 hours in an attention-span era of shorts.

High quality conversation... absolutely brilliant

[@rkanagala]

Oh, my goodness! this is such an intense and influencing podcast. Thanks Shantanu for bringing this to all. These podcasts are your biggest contribution to our society. Much respect..

[@rupendra6104]

Dear BarberShop team, please bring more guests like Pratham who have played and are playing a big role in building India. This was really a rare, one-of-a-kind learning experience watching this episode. The guest is definitely a gem but Shantanu who thought of inviting such a guest and asking the right questions is also a gem....keep inspiring

[@adityadang6048]

Perhaps the only episode in which listening to every single word is worth gold!

[@rohitmane1402]

Sometimes it feels Shantanu is for movie where he is liking popcorn than the movie😂😂,however as a listener i am glad to watch this great interview

[@khilanathsharma2756]

One of the best podcast I have ever listened to. So much of learning, lessons, insight and understanding of everything in life. Thank you Shantanu for bringing him.

[@nautic522]

cannot believe I watched the whole thing. Great storytelling skills by Mr. Pramath.

[@dhoomketu731]

I have something to say about what Sinha ji said at @30:00. I am not sure about other countries because of my limited exposure but it does seem to me that in India, choosing to pursue engineering is all about getting into a branch that offers the most lucrative placement opoortunities. It is completely bereft of genuine academic curiosity. Is it a coincidence that year after year, top rank holders choose Computer Science over any other branch? How can top rankers be only interested in Computer Science? Doesn't anyone among them want to become a nuclear physicist or an aerodynamicist or a weapons designer or a chip designer. I do understand that for an average Indian middle class family, children's education is nothing short of a sincere financial investment but we must also find ways of addressing the problem which is that IITs have been reduced to placement agencies rather than centers of technological excellence. I felt really sad when Sinha ji said that bottom rankers were either assigned metallurgical or aeronautical engineering. Our country lags badly behind the West and China when it comes to critical jet engine technology and hypersonic missiles. Streamlining our elementary science curricullum in a way that arouses curiosity in young minds towards technologies of strategic importance to our nation is one way to deal with this problem. Another way would be for the government toinvest heaviliy in sectors of strategic importance to us like semiconductor fabrication, high stress metallurgy and make it even more open to the private sector.

[@preetijain2570]

Absolutely a visual and audio treat. All the anecdotes are thoroughly inspiring. Thank you for bringing him on board.

[@pitbuk5537]

what a podcast man, brilliant!, it was worth every second, and also Now I want to join McKinsey

[@BrokenRecord-i7q]

Tech is today's McKinsey

[@rutvikpage5394]

Thanks for this boss; I don’t think I could have spent a better evening.

[@RB-nh8lf]

Looking for chapter 2. As Shantanu rightly at the end i was actually looking for more on how he built ISB and other institutions. The first half of the conversation was his personal life story, although it was interesting in bits and pieces, but it wasn't value adding for me. But i am definitely looking forward for chapter 2 where you would discuss around ISB and other higher educational instituitions.

[@rakshit8570]

If u want something knowledgeable better to avoid him and Ashoka university, all u will get extreme left views with nice wrapped up words to destroy ur own culture and celebrating the woke stuff added with islamist and Christianity, also u can research on the university urself and there professors.

[@jerrypartners]

First podcast from Shantanu I listened the whole 2 hours.

[@jayanthjayaprakashjj4796]

Yes Shantanu we need another episode.

[@rajjain3357]

Hey, this is great episode, I've seen all the episodes of barbershop and I take incredible amount of value out of it. Thanks for doing it! Just a small point of feedback - i listen to this on headphones while walking or in leisure time, and the sounds of eating is slightly annoying from an experience point of view. Not a deterrent though, but wanted to point it out.

[@yhisaria]

All ISB Alums give me a cheer 🔥

[@ashankbhandari]

Represent!

[@PV-vm9cl]

Great interview! Pramath was my senior at St. Michael's High.

[@abhishekjha18]

Loved this episode. When are you getting Rajat Gupta? That’ll be a BIG one!

[@RaviKannankr]

Awesome!! Interview. Lot of wisdom Lot of takeaways on education. Must watch.

[@aniketsharma272]

From the first second I vibed with this podcast. The vibe between the guest and the host is perfect. The guest is an OG.

[@jayanthjayaprakashjj4796]

Superb learning! Thank you Shantanu!

[@HVTSpeaks]

This is the best one. So much learning!!

[@1856parth]

Profound conversation !

[@fonty58]

Amazing episode!!! Hope you get a chance to do this with Rajat Gupta as well - less about the incident and more about his shaping years!

[@harshitgrover128]

Very insightful enjoyed every piece of it .keep up the good work shantanu and team

[@impracticaldev]

Thanks man. You have contributed so much to my growth.

"Crunchy foods are overrated! Soft and squishy foods are where it's at. Who needs all that noise and effort when you can have a smooth and easy eating experience?" 😂👌

[@rohanmadan4998]

Absolutely true😂

[@digvijaysingh6515]

Such insightful discussion. Loved it!

[@lakshaygupta2816]

Hello Shantanu, new to your channel and I highly regret not knowing about it earlier... The content is just so enriching in terms of knowledge and life exp that there's no substitute for it.... God speed!!

[@enclave100]

Rajat story sank my heart

[@riyasharma8767]

what a lovely conversation!

[@jhitman3351]

So good, I had to subscribe from two channels to do it justice.

[@shriramerande6199]

Thank you shantanu for this wonderful podcast!!!

[@vasumanchanda6979]

Damn inspiring. Thank you.

[@cinephilicminimalist9519]

The only hindrance/distraction in this interview was Shantanu's continuous munching. Absolutely loved Mr. Sinha's journey.

[@anuragsiddhu465]

this was an excellent conversation. inspiring to say the least

[@Saksham1109]

This episode is a gem!

[@omkarsawant7933]

This is a masterclass in edtech, my eyes are teary while writing this. 🥂🥂

This one was so engaging till end.

[@shobhitshrivas6636]

Great Video! Loved it

[@afreenkhan1470]

37:50 Hi Shantanu! Please refrain from snacking in front of your guests and it does seem distracting to them and viewers as well! Apart from this amazing interview !!

[@daksheshthacker1419]

Absolutely fantastic episode but his final punchline on reimagining/changing face of higher education is opposite to what he tells Shantanu's team members in the beginning. Felt slightly contradictory.

[@Rahul-uy8xo]

Man, This is actually a reallllllllll golllllllllllllllldddddddddd!

[@adityagupta1973]

Shantanu saying "ohh wow" 😂😂

[@taniya1982]

Such an inspiring one

[@traveller1988]

Great choice of guest!!...but I have to say. Divorce was not easy. Shantanu: Waaaooo... We were from traditional family. Shantanu: Waaaoo...@Shantanu If you don't have anything to comment then just dont😂😂

[@nehatickoo1195]

Beautiful session

[@aryansuri8452]

Is it possible if you can get Rajat Gupta on the show???

[@khushbuchopda8300]

Anyone else a fan of Shantanu's giggles?🤔

[@raghavrajsaluja4926]

A great man!

[@shubhamdave9656]

Best episode

[@abhishekkasbe9622]

I flet like wow in this movement 1:30:03

[@sandeepjha3949]

Would love to see something similar in Digital Health for India if Shantanu can bring some one in Podcast who can revolutionise Digital Health in India. Bring some challenges in table and give some policy level changes which india need to do and how Govt and private both can follow. There is no regulatory body in Healthcare and many things. The way currently india is taking steps via NHA is not collaborate and somehow the governance is also very poor and then people like global tech company don’t believe in India healthcare policy etc etc …..we need someone to solve this big problem

[@TanmayvMukim]

I enjoyed this podcast just like a story, I would like to know more about Rajat.😊

[@hey_.hunterr]

Last 20mins crazy

[@debm09]

Do 1 more episode with him

[@ajitnandakumar]

Please do interview Rajat Gupta. Quite impressive yo know about him. If I am right RG was Subramanian Swamy's student

[@sudhapallipadmaja]

It was so frustrating with the disturbance of Shantanu eating whatever and making those awful noise.

[@paramn4031]

What an amazing guy dude. Real life CHAD man 🔥

Collective philanthropy shared governance. Ownership. Amazing treatment to faculty. Copy paste ideas. Raise money. Avoid dominating PPL tell them you get one vote. Bas. 200 founders Ashoka. Respect milega. Vote nahi milega. Vote means only one advise. Don't get into strategy. No one owns. But everyone owns.

[@abhishekgupta-11]

Being a Math and Physics faculty. I have thought of being visiting faculty to schools. Because Indian schools lack it
