he really needs to improve on his question framing

[@krishnakumarpradeep7175]

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

[@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

Please train or replace the host... frustrating to watch the video...

[@ayushmishra9415]

The host is really irritating tbh

[@raghavmittal2440]

Change the 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.

[@sohammondal406]

[@darshan2727]
