[@anshumanfinance]

The Indian market is very different from other countries. We try to maximise the value we get per rupee before making any purchase. Great point Carl, this was an insightful video!

[@curious_one1156]

and is it different in US ?

[@sankhuz]

Yeah

[@magicmagus1459]

"We try to maximise the value we get per rupee before making any purchase." No, it is because majority of india is extremely poor. So most will only be able to buy the cheapest product available. Rich indians always buy iPhone but 70% of india live way below poverty line. So for around 25%, they can only afford the cheapest product available which is usually a chinese phone. This is just facts not value for money.

[@Moonlight-sj7qc]

@@magicmagus1459 "Reality is always disappointing" and you proved it man kudos to you, very well said

[@AmritenduRana31082000]

@@magicmagus1459 nope,it's the Indian mindset and hypocrisy .I've seen many bargain from street vendors while paying extra in shops like Zara.We live in a very hypocritical society.My father who has his own real estate business uses a 20k Vivo phone while his driver uses an iphone 13 .I buy Nike t shirts for the driver while i have never bought a Nike or Adidas or any branded t shirt or anything coz it's a waste of money for me.Its the mindset that gets created in poor societies about brand defining status and poor and middle class people mostly falls for it while actual rich people properly manages their expenditure and hardly cares about brands.

[@ahwork]

its amazing how their whole purpose is keeping the end user as the center..

[@Parthgrg]

Carl is very a sober and polite personality. Following him on oneplus forum since OP1, met him twice and he is a great listner and charmer.

[@Souravkarmakar.5]

My two favorite people in one frame. You don't know how much crazy and happy this podcast makes me.

[@adamirfan6986]

I only love Carl Pei..

[@paritosh-sharma-ubv]

At 17:12 when Carl says 'Gut feeling is not random' - the editor of this video has done a great job to capture the head movement of the lady. The moment just makes the belief in the statement stronger.

[@Kayash_Kino]

Thats captured by audience cameraman, chosen by editor, so the real time hard work is done by cameraman

[@vishrutvatsa]

THIS is how real techies talk. No BS. Only tech, h/w and business.

[@IshanSharma7390]

A lot of learnings here💯 Especially this👇 Trait of mediocre people: They seek for external validation to measure how well they are working instead of being sure in themselves that they've delivered work to the best of their capacity.

[@sarathipaul7909]

I can't explain how crisp and value adding this was. Really awesome!!!

[@amazonindia9264]

This is one of the extraordinary podcast I have ever listned. It's really worth it.

[@nareshmeetei]

This series is a great idea. Thanks for bringing Carl in this and doing this Kunal and team.

[@legalbulldog7047]

Nothing seems to have cracked the code for marketing in the post-pandemic era. To put the main guy in the spotlight, first with Beerbiceps and then with Kunal Shah, is a risk that paid Apple very well (Steve Jobs' iconic presentation for iPhone launch). Something which chinese companies could not do, and currently Apple is not interested in. Will be fun to watch Nothing sales graph in the coming year.

[@jacure123]

Wish the phone was in America.

[@itspiyushagrawal]

[@fella-bikram]

Two gems and their conversations, what else are required - Nothing! Amazing ❤️

[@shane_kangzang]

'Trying to think though there is NOTHING on the mind, brings SOMETHING to the mind' Carl Pei got SOMETHING called NOTHING💪 Worth watching the entire podcast❤ Quality one!

[@sureshnishtala2887]

Loved the conversation....from Kunal its always a deep learnings.... One quote I could probably take away form here is You cant build substance in life unless you are consistently putting your wealth,reputation,and health at stake. ~Kunal Shah

[@abhishekarya5646]

Kunal shah is like the movie - “everything everywhere all at once”, you don’t always need to do how it is supposed to do. CEO interviewing CEOs in front of the organisation. Kunal is not building a product/ company , he is building a cult.

[@TheERPGuy]

A cult that's bleeding money in front of its own investors

[@abhishekarya5646]

What I mean is just like zoho mafia we will soon have cred mafia - incredible companies out from ex-employees of cred. All because of the kind of leader Kunal is.

[@TheERPGuy]

His leadership skills are definitely good. Personally, I feel he's too philosophical sometimes. But overall, yes, we may soon see talented people from Cred too.

[@suyogchandak2340]

Mostly generic talk with keywords and woke philosophy. Very little value creation.

[@BallyBoy95]

Kunal Shah may very well be smart, but he is a little too self-opinionated for my taste. I wonder if he thinks people who are quiet are not curious, simply because they're quiet?

[@GADGETSONEMALAYALAMTECHTIPS]

one is business men, another one is innovator, thats pretty sums up everything that why we dont have such indian brands who deals with smartphones, business men cannot run companies like apple, nothing etc, innovators and engineers does.

But look after your casino app (CRED). Where payments used to settle instantly now is facing a lot of failures along with long settlement time for hours and hours.

I also like that he explained it very well about hype i mean so many people say that nothing overhype their products

Why Cred have not establish customer care in India, It's big question mark. When Indian customer have any issues and faces any transaction problem, customers have only one step-"WAIT & WATCH" "WHEN INDIAN CUSTOMER GOT CUSTOMER CARE"

[@mallikarjunse]

The amount of data Xiaomi, Vivo, oppo collects, It's just scary. I used to use Xiaomi phone and few permissions are taken automatically and people can't revoke them. Permissions include body movements, location, call history, messages, sensor etc for a security app which doesn't make sense. 🤷

Where was this held?? Mumbai

[@Kayash_Kino]

Was anything else taught or discussed in live form? YT post is just 52 mins

[@Amit91dsquad]

Loved the podcast, however I just noticed how differently these two guys think on one hand we had Carl who emphasised on how the top management must be efficient at collaboratively working with his colleagues even when there are differences because it is your responsibility to be able to sort the differences. On the other hand Kunal believes that some people never take Criticism constructively. I so wished that he would take the responsibility of delivering the Criticism in a way that might help the other person. Just complaining about it with no solution won't help.

[@Jashandeep]

Amazing convo. Was curious about what questions would Kunal ask...

With just this one episode, CRED upped their YT game 10 folds. 🔥

[@devadatta1417]

validation from other people is a disease...because no matter how good and great u perform...there will b so many people who will definitely judge you without analysing anything....so it is better not to crave for a positive feedback from other people and just focus on improving ourselves....and having random curiosity is also very very important because first thing is we dont get bored of doing the same task again and again and second thing is random curiosity increase the understanding levels and will definitely help in connecting the dots.

[@shanthgaitonde]

Key Takeaways: 1) Identify the market and know you are an insect in an animal kingdom. 2) Second mover advantage is better to optmise research and costs spent in disrupting market as a first mover. 3) Constant hunger to learn and be curious. 4) Ability to retain and work with top talent without much conflicts. 5) Vanity with utility to provide value in a product.
