he really needs to improve on his question framing

[@krishnakumarpradeep7175]

Thanks InsideIIM for having me for this session. Was a fun one!

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Thanks a million, Pradeep ❤️

[@Jatin__Verma]

Hi Pradeep! You got a buyer from the interaction. Really glad to discover a brand like Zouk, which I didn't know before existed. 🙂🤍

[@godlysunny1896]

Why hasn't the interviewer been replaced yet? I think enough people have given feedback on this.

[@saniya_cannot_singh]

Slightly more mature questions could have been asked.

[@iIrfanhussain]

i think he should ask some more mature questions : no hate

[@PuneetSahoo]

I have now come to a point where I stop the video if Ankit isn’t the host. As a supporter and admirer of the channel, humble request to either train or replace this host, because you’re losing loyal viewers. And I’m sure I’m not the only one, as evident in other comments

Consulting entry level mey 1 crore dey deta Hain?

[@rishspeaks7364]

India mai sapne mai bhi nahi. US mai yea

[@optics2888]

Host ☕😂

[@satyacya1253]

Very annoying host. Kindly consider educating/changing the host. He is jeopardizing the value of this excellent channel. I began skipping the talks where this person is host, as his abrupt interruption of guests gets so annoying to tolerate.

[@smruti3250]

The host 😑

[@ayushmishra9415]

The host is really irritating tbh

[@Y_creatorr]

😂 realising it after watching 20:40 minutes

[@tarundiaz1749]

yees we need the old host back

[@iIrfanhussain]

Exactly i thought only me. man he should do better homework

[@Soni_D]

That Ankit thing is also irritating

[@saurabh_mahurkar]

True

[@janatakhan1891]

IIT IIM boring people. Get some average grads who are ruling corporates now

[@darshan2727]

kya host tha ye. one word - ghatiya.

[@rahulmattihalli]

Really expected better behaviour, Host used F word and this shouldn't happen in at this level of discussions.

[@jogendrajoshi7327]

Yes, that was a mistake
