Came across Odoo a year back! Back then I thought it was a fraud software because of such low prices. But since Odoo 17 launch event in August 2023, I was surprised that this was an actual multinational company and I took the bet and started exploring more into this! 💯 And now I am proud that I single handedly convinced my own company to implement odoo for management! 🙌 😁 I would love to attend one of Odoo events badly and connect with you guys as well! So anyone working in Odoo please do arrange an event in Goa please! 🙏 Thank you for the great software, Fabian and Team! 💯 Love from Goa, Adarsh

[@suerayss]

It felt like Ranveer was cheekily soliciting business from him or looking for business strategies for beerbiceps business itself. That is bit underhanded but until that last section when ranveer did that it was fantastic and Fabian is a fantastic guy with so much honesty and integrity. A true role models of how a entrepreneur and business should be.

The best conversation I've heard on a podcast in a while. Thank you both! 🤩

[@diaje]

Such dense episodes are excellent. But as India's smartest podcast, it would be great if you can show different views about India's future too, those that are conflicting, contrarian etc. Watching your intros, shorts makes me feel that you are always painting an exciting picture about India. Don't get me wrong, I am part of the same camp that is excited for India. But it is worth shedding light on the crushing challenges of our country, the elephants in the room too. Nonetheless, I am loving the TRS team's evolution in the last few years ❤

[@Trade1001]

If it wasn't exciting, then do you think a billionaire will move to India with his family? Think about it.

[@nc541]

Agree but its very difficult here in India and hope he succeeds due to all the corrupted govt officials, laid back rules, hence believe me its not easy for such honest people to settle here..god help him is I pray.I have had nasty experiences..Socially its great with interests coming in bank...but businesses are hard work....and very stressful as people just want to loot you in areas wherever possible, and at times feel we are better off away

[@nagkumarisrinivas9040]

He took me to what reality is on all levels, your work speaks for itself but this podcast brought out in words. If you love your work it does keep you grounded and you are not shy and calculative about showing it to the world and give tour of the journey right through the same spectrum like the two of you. Loved the tour. Thankyou both!

Love this podcast..bring these type of entrepreneurs so we know whats out there ❤ thank you.. 🙏

[@nurendrasahu6600]

@BeerBiceps Ranveer you should ask rare questions to these type of people they are high level intellectuals and very dynamic personality. You can ask common questions to the entrepreneurs who are doing Business from last 10 or less. These kind of entrepreneurs are in Global Business from more than 15 years they have experience of Global Market. Keep going on but you need to work very hard for Business Podcast.
