In this Episode, we take a look back at 2022, revisiting the year that it has been and some of the best episodes on the show.

Wishing everyone listening, Merry Christmas and a great close to the year, 2022. It’s been another year since the podcast has been running and I could not be more thankful to all of you for listening and supporting this journey. As we conclude the year, I figured it would be interesting to try a different format and summarise the year, instead of a new Episode!

And so through the episode, I go ahead and share a brief recap of the year that it has been for the Podcast, along with some very interesting best episodes + learnings through the year.

We published 51 Episodes through the year before this one, which included 3 masterclasses and 48 episodes as a part of the general series without missing a single week of publishing through the year.

From covering Gaming to Logistics to FinTech to Real Estate, this year had some of the most mature conversations on the podcast!

Looking back, I have so many favorites - highlighting some is very difficult, but let me try. We had some great Venture Episodes through the year, including the one with Vikram of Matrix, Hemant of General Catalyst, Deven of Insight, Mridul of Elevation, Vaibhav of Better. The common learnings through these episodes around business cycles, sustainably winning, building culture at VC Funds and pattern recognition are a gold mine of insights. If you're looking to understand the Venture World better, this is a great place to dive deeper.

I hosted some of the best Founders in the ecosystem through the year. Some unforgettable episodes include the ones with Vasanth of smallcase, Rohit of Darwinbox, Sai of MPL, Ankush of ShareChat, Ankit of CureFoods, Shashank of The Whole Truth, Gaurav of Yubi, Awais of Pixxel, Pratham of Masters’ Union and Ruchi of Oxyzo. All of these episodes and the others, highlight distinct founder traits and learnings from journeys’ which exhibit great perseverance, grit and passion for building.

I am so grateful to have started the podcast and I continue to cherish each & every new conversation on the show. I would like to thank you all for supporting us through another very interesting year for the Startup Ecosystem and hope I can add value to your lives via the podcast, with each new Episode.

Thank you, Stay Tuned & Keep Building. Wishing you all a great close to 2022!
