How We Sold Durex, Veet, Mortein, Harpic and more to India! | Ex-Global COO, Reckitt | Adi Sehgal

[@rudepen]

It's 27 years of knowledge in 2 hours from China to India and global economy and compounding journey. Worth every minute of it. Just amazing. Thanks Shantanu for brining Adi the legend of FMCG.

[@maruthiprasadsivapuram9027]

Very true... "Worth every minute". Was not off for a minute

[@rajatdutta3309]

No, not 27 years. He was for 27 years at his first company. His tenure at his own company is another decade or more

This was two hours of my mind going “Boom” every once in a while. I would pause and process that thought and move to the next section. Loved this one! A Saturday Morning Well Spent.

[@vipulmehta6015]

Glad to hear from Adi for the first time. He is a legend here at Reckitt and inspiration to all the MTs who started out their careers here!

[@subhashjadhav1453]

Wow. Before start watching, I was not sure if can really watch 2 hrs long Podcast. That also for me very first on BarberShop. Aditya Sehgal really made my day and sure for many others as well. It was one of very genuine portray of professional life. Very detailed but upto point answers, 27years journey in fantastic 2 hrs. Perfect example for executives and managers, how one can work in job with true entrepreneur mindset. Thanks @ Barbershop and Aditya Sehgal

[@kruthikabr1548]

Wow these conversations are so insightful and inspiring..

[@abhijitmore3729]

Off all the guests on your podcast, this one impressed me very much... Very strategic, very well experienced, very good view of world.... U need to call more experienced executives of well established companies so that we can look into the business stories

[@shreyyy]

Hi Shantanu! It's been a great insight as to how things work... Your podcasts are almost as if we are in a premier B Schools hearing to some great case studies of businesses and success stories in India... ❤

[@Bharat_in_India]

[@abhilashpanigrahi8543]

one of the best podcast in long time, great learning in FMCG sales & marketing & life! Please keep doing such podcasts @Shantanu

[@jayz26121984]

Absolutely brilliant ! Thank you Adi and Shantanu for doing this.

[@rajkhandelwal6870]

This was so helpful. I am running an ecommerce company and was creating packaging and started optimising website. Since the last month I have been stuck into this only and for the time being descaled the business. One thing that struck me in the conversation is that I should test fast and should not look for perfection, which I started doing. This is something that I have heard many times but then also I got struck into this. Thanks for putting this amazing show.

[@siddhantgambhir8282]

Love this podcasts... want podcasts with more INTRAPRENEURS and employees who did great

[@manny5370]

Just came across Shantanu's podcasts recently. This episode with Mr. Sehgal is just a fire side chat with your favorite uncle who has chosen to enlighten you with his experience and wisdom. Doesn't dissapoint in the slightest! Great work Shantanu 🙏

[@iampiyushsingh7544]

For India to do perfectly or even better than previous similar cases like china and usa. We need to innovate and find solutions for : 1) Food security - (hydrophonic & vertical farming, etc) 2) Energy - (hydrogen, nuclear, etc) And then other supplementary industries like making sustainable cities and converting metro cities into a better designed cities.

[@rawatsandeep1]

This is the best channel i found on Entrepreneurship. Hope you can bring such people in episodes ahead.

[@ArjunPaneri]

One of the best 2 hours of my life. It's really really good podcast to watch.

[@anishjha7059]

I am just in Awe listening to the podcast! Wish I were able to join a consumer brand after my MBA.

[@Sheela9999]

Best session every attended in my life and my company has more than a multi billion in valuation ,hats of to adi sehgal

[@arjunrajput-ff9he]

Best podcast so far, very realistic insights.

[@gaurakshak213]

solid guest bulaya taklu tune toh dil khush kar diya

[@VivekGulati20]

Another gold episode. Thanks for sharing this. It’s just priceless practical knowledge that wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for Bombae. ❤

[@Padmanabham.]

3 entrepreneurial advice given by Aditya Sehgal in conversation with Shantanu Deshpande , on The Barbershop with Shantanu podcast :- 1. Until you start, it's zero. The faster you start, the faster you start your compounding journey. So, start your compounding journey early; don't aim for perfection. 2. When needed pivot as soon as possible BUT always with the goal in mind and be sure what that goal is. 3. While starting, rather than asking can I climb that ladder, ask am I climbing the right ladder, which wall is this ladder leaning against; don’t build it for next 5 years, build it for the next 100 years & the way to do that is not to worry about your exit, not to worry about short term success, you need to create something that is going to be true and enduring value.

[@vikaskeshri7853]

Absolutely wonderful. Great host, Shantanu ! the depth of each and every conversation in the podcast is amazing and mindblowing. Lot of learnings from this one.

[@ManishKumar-sr4nb]

with due respect to the great achievements of the guest, IMHO India ia already growing at a faster pace than China ... and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future ... the demographic trend also favours India .... it is not uncommon for NRIs to harbour lack of confidence in their homeland ... in any case India will be built by Indians and those who have confidence in India.

[@venkatesh5391]

Fantastic podcast! Shantanu, I have a request please make a podcast with Rohit Chennamaneni from Darwinbox! It would be great to listen a SaaS Unicorn story built out of India!!

[@dhruvsanghvi7709]

I feel it’s the best episode of barbershop so far

[@siddhantgala7461]

Absolute masterclass! Love the specificity, authenticity, and no virtue signalling. Keep it up!

[@vasumanchanda6979]

Thank you for this podcast. Grateful.

[@ajaybhat2432]

Every time I am looking for some inspiration I look towards one of your videos, Shantanu. I get to learn so much from the experience of people like Aditya Sehgal. It is a like an amazing masterclass and awe inspiring.

[@binoykeswani6624]

THIS IS GOLD💛

[@mihirbhatawadekar4753]

What an episode. Kudos to Shantanu and whole team to bring guests like Adi Sehgal. This is the best podcast channel. Keep it coming. Barbershop to the moon

[@pranavdhavale2975]

One of the best episodes so far. Keep these coming. Best content out there.

[@mohit96mb]

Epic episode! What a guy!

[@beastawesome1504]

One class of a podcast

[@KumarGaurav-oj8wj]

The best podcast channel, keep it up Shantanu

[@omkarsamant1088]

It's crazy how much wisdom comes out of FMCG veterans 😍

Hope he is being consulted by the prime minister's economic advisory council. Fantastic insights.

[@parvkulshrestha8252]

Best one so far

[@sagargrover9974]

Absolute education. Thank you.

[@PremKumarFourhearts]

Randomly got the suggestion...GOLD episode!!!

[@chopraraghav2180]

Great to see my college Alumnus here. Aditya is from Thapar ❤

[@jaiminbajaj]

Hi Shantanu - Good podcast but please bring startup founders, while this was insightful, podcasts you have done with Mukesh Bansal, Albi and OfBusiness guy was awe-inspiring to say the least. Corporate folks build very linear careers so they’re less interesting tbh. My recommendations: 1. Another OG - VSS 2. Sachin or Binny Bansal (they keep so low profile) 3. Kamaths 4. Meesho founders 5. Amod Malviya 6. Sameer Nigam

[@prafullchaudhari3116]

Loved it... and specially the end note...

[@sarveshgupta9279]

Absolutely incredible and insightful!

[@shardulpathak185]

Best podcast of barbershop...

[@fmsmallu]

Loved this. Particularly the war stories and the comment “don’t crush someone’s belief in self”

[@anug14]

Great episode. My first one. Could not stop or pause.

[@omkarsawant7933]

Thankyou Adi, your experiences really helps the BS community to move us & India ahead in the S-curve!

[@rosh70]

I should watch this twice. So much information.

[@siddharthsahu4437]

Exited to watch full podcast

[@anonymouswho2165]

Please bring more of such executives as guest rather then founders they give so much insights and knowledge and do less of PR 🙏🙏

[@diwakarsingh969]

What a Intersting person. I had to write down stuff he was saying just to not forget later.

[@anirudherabelly4679]

Shantanu, all your podcasts are based on consumer brands. Would you be able to pull in CEO's from SAAS brands of India and building for world like Zoho, Zenoti, DarwinBox, Freshworks, Chargebee etc.

[@rl1900]

But that's actually good I love to hear about these brands coz tech startup stories are already so over saturated

[@bostonlights2749]

I second this idea

[@factomachine]

@@rl1900 true

[@manuvashist8980]

Superb content 👌

[@samarthsudarshan4868]

Great learning! You know it when experience speaks

[@raj3718]

please make podcast in Hindi

[@yogeshsingla131]

Sony liv should learn about logo placement from you guys. The BSC logo on top right is just the right size. Thank you❤

[@thehardwaretopics8514]

I don't really have words to express how peaceful, informative and interesting this conversation was! Thank you so much for bringing Adi sir ❤ and barbour shop, keep up the good work 😊

[@ankitgoswami7371]

Great video! Really enjoyed it, watched this 2 hour podcast in 1 go!

[@mrunaldeshpande8972]

When I hear him say great culture and great people, I dream of working in a company where I can say this. My current company sucks. Hanging onto this job just until I grab the next opportunity i.e. pursuing an MBA.

[@devanshpathak8720]

Damn I can watch the whole thing again. Fortune to have access to such a conversation

[@caronakheda7311]

Woww….one of the best global insights. Thanks Shantanu for doing this. Request if you can have audience like us to for live shoot so that we can really connect to person.

[@ajitnandakumar]

Thank you so much for this! All your videos are so insightful. In this, the one on China especially was eye opening

[@salilkarkarey3684]

This was very informative. Thank you.

[@JatinV1]

1:16:43 it just reminds me of Farm Laws, hope they bring it back with new packaging in 2025

[@AmanSharma-ue5mt]

This is quality stuff! Bravo!

[@hailtorohit]

There are about 2-3 instances where I have clapped at the end of a KZbin video. This is one of them. Gem of a person 🎉

[@shardulpathak185]

@shantanu sir thank you for wonderful podcast.. can you suggest me some more posdcast related to "FMCG"

[@JatinV1]

Bring him again if you can ...

[@rjhappykp]

Why did this conversation end

[@maxblaze1390]

You should also connect with some tata guys who have spent years growing within the organisation. Very beautiful stories to be heard there.

[@thecoldassassin]

Can someone please explain what is an S curve?
