Swapnil Karkare

भारतातल्या मुख्य प्रवाहातील माध्यमांमध्ये तर्कशुद्ध चर्चा आणि मराठी माध्यमांमध्ये अर्थशास्त्र विषयाचे कव्हरेज, हे दोन्ही कमीच दिसते. स्वप्निल, चार्टर्ड अकाउंटंट आणि अर्थशास्त्रज्ञ, ला या पॉडकास्टद्वारे हे अंतर कमी करायचे आहे. There is a lack of rational discussion on social issues in mainstream media in India and a dearth of coverage regarding economics in Marathi mainstream media. Swapnil, Chartered Accountant and an economist, wants to plug this gap via this podcast. read less

Markets are uncertain. We might see a recession next year. So what to do? The best answer is to diversify. Let us understand how to do it in this episode.

178. Bombay Chawls To Be History - गेल्या त्या बॉम्बेतल्या चाळी

178. Bombay Chawls To Be History - गेल्या त्या बॉम्बेतल्या चाळी
Mumbai, the city once upon a time called Bombay, is undergoing tremendous changes. Good, bad or ugly? Only time can tell us.  Razing chawls is one such change. The history of the city and its chawls is associated with textile mills. Now, those mills don't exist. Tomorrow, chawls won't be there too.  What is the history of these chawls? How did people live there? How did they define the Mumbai spirit? How do we document this history in a more user-friendly way? This episode revolves around these questions. एके काळी बॉम्बे नावाने प्रसिद्ध असलेले शहर मुंबई मधे सध्या प्रचंड बदल होत आहेत. चांगले, वाईट की गलीच्छ? फक्त वेळच सांगू शकते. चाळी पाडणे हा असाच एक बदल आहे. शहराचा आणि चाळींचा इतिहास कापड गिरण्यांशी निगडित आहे. आता त्या गिरण्या अस्तित्वात नाहीत. उद्या चाळीही नसतील. या चाळींचा इतिहास काय आहे? तिथे लोक कसे राहत होते? त्यांनी मुंबई स्पिरिटची व्याख्या कशी केली? आपण हा इतिहास छान पद्धतीने कसा जोपासू शकतो? ह्या प्रश्नांभोवती हा एपिसोड फिरतो.

175. How's China's Economy Doing? - चीनची अर्थव्यवस्था कशी चालली आहे?
Is China's economy deteriorating or growing? Or is it stable?  "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." Similarly answering these questions lies in the indicators you choose. Let us analyse the Chinese economy in simple words. चीनची अर्थव्यवस्था ढासळत आहे की वाढत आहे? कि स्थिर आहे? "सौंदर्य हे पाहणाऱ्याच्या डोळ्यात असते." त्याचप्रमाणे या प्रश्नांची उत्तरे तुम्ही निवडलेल्या संकेतकांमध्ये आहेत. चिनी अर्थव्यवस्थेचे सोप्या शब्दात विश्लेषण करूया.

174. How Women Worked? - महिलांनी कसे काम केले?

174. How Women Worked? - महिलांनी कसे काम केले?
The world has progressed significantly in giving women quality jobs and a better work environment over the last centuries. But the journey is still incomplete. How do women make career choices? How do women decide to start or stop working? What factors promote or restrict such decisions?  Claudia Goldin has researched it all. She bagged the Nobel Prize in Economics this year. Why her work is so important? And why should every woman know Claudia Goldin's work? I explain that in this episode. गेल्या शतकांमध्ये महिलांना दर्जेदार नोकऱ्या आणि कामाचे चांगले वातावरण देण्यात जगाने लक्षणीय प्रगती केली आहे. पण प्रवास अजूनही अपूर्ण आहे. महिला करिअरची निवड कशी करतात? स्त्रिया काम सुरू करण्याचा किंवा थांबवण्याचा निर्णय कसा घेतात? कोणते घटक अशा निर्णयांना प्रोत्साहन देतात किंवा प्रतिबंधित करतात? क्लॉडिया गोल्डिनने हे सर्व संशोधन केले आहे. तिला यंदाचा अर्थशास्त्रातील नोबेल पारितोषिक मिळाले. तिचे काम इतके महत्त्वाचे का आहे? आणि प्रत्येक स्त्रीला क्लॉडिया गोल्डिनचे कार्य का माहित असावे? मी या एपिसोडमध्ये ते स्पष्ट करतो.

170. Future of BRICS - BRICS चे भविष्य
BRICS group consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It has extended its membership in 2023 and has added six more countries.  Currently, BRICS does not assume a significant role in international economics and geopolitics. But will it strengthen in the near future? You will get some food for thought in this episode. ब्रिक्स गटात ब्राझील, रशिया, भारत, चीन आणि दक्षिण आफ्रिका यांचा समावेश आहे. त्याने 2023 मध्ये सदस्यत्व वाढवले आहे आणि आणखी सहा देश जोडले आहेत. सध्या, BRICS आंतरराष्ट्रीय अर्थशास्त्र आणि भू-राजकारणात महत्त्वाची भूमिका घेत नाही. पण नजीकच्या भविष्यात ते बळकट होईल का? या एपिसोडमध्ये तुम्हाला काही विचार करायला मिळेल.

163. Sabbatical, Share Market आणि बरंच काही ft. Swanand Kelkar

163. Sabbatical, Share Market आणि बरंच काही ft. Swanand Kelkar
Swanand Kelkar, a rare multi-talent, is a qualified Chartered Accountant, an MBA, a certified yoga instructor, a club cricketer and a film producer. He is a Managing Partner at Breakout Capital Advisors. Before, starting an entrepreneurial journey into investments, he worked at Morgan Stanley. But the most exciting and unique part of his career is the step to go on a sabbatical.  We talked about investing and economics, but we dedicated the first half of this interview to his sabbatical adventures. He explained why he did what he did in that period and also gave a lot of life advice such as goal setting, discipline and much more (who knows - he might even be a motivational speaker after a decade or so).  He has also produced the Marathi movie Fulrani and shared his experiences on and off the movie set. Our conversation is in Marathi and English. You can watch the video version on my YouTube Channel. स्वानंद केळकर, एक दुर्मिळ बहु-प्रतिभा, एक चार्टर्ड अकाउंटंट, एक एमबीए, एक प्रमाणित योग प्रशिक्षक, एक क्लब क्रिकेटर आणि एक चित्रपट निर्माता आहे. तो Breakout Capital Advisors चा Managing Partner आहे. गुंतवणुकीमधे उद्योजकीय प्रवास सुरू करण्यापूर्वी त्यांनी Morgan Stanley येथे काम केले. पण त्याच्या कारकिर्दीचा सर्वात रोमांचक आणि अनोखा भाग म्हणजे सब्बॅटिकलवर जाण्याचा निर्णय. आम्ही गुंतवणूक आणि अर्थशास्त्र याबद्दल बोललो, परंतु आम्ही या मुलाखतीचा पूर्वार्ध त्याच्या सब्बॅटिकल वर चर्चा केली. त्या काळात त्याने जे केले ते त्याने का केले याचे स्पष्टीकरण दिले आणि goal setting, शिस्त आणि बरेच काही यांसारखे जीवनविषयक सल्लेही दिले (कोणास ठाऊक - तो एक दशकानंतर motivational speaker देखील होऊ शकतो). त्यांनी फुलराणी या मराठी चित्रपटाची निर्मितीही केली असून चित्रपटाच्या सेटवर आणि बाहेरील अनुभव त्यांनी शेअर केले आहेत. आमचे संभाषण मराठी आणि इंग्रजीत आहे. ---------------3:10 - Why sabbatical?7:39 - What things did Swanand pursue during his sabbatical?
