I walked into the interview with pages of notes. I never opened them.

Because with Akshika Poddar, the conversation just flowed from motherhood to business, from textiles to leadership. As a fellow textile enthusiast and a mother of three, I found myself resonating with so much of what she said.

She is clear, calm, and completely head-first. Open to ideas, grounded in instinct.

And that kind of clarity? That kind of conviction?

It is, quite literally, Rare.

Thank you ! I hope today’s episode brought you closer to seeing yourself and the world around you with a little more clarity, love, and empathy. If something spoke to you today, —share it with someone who might need that same insight. And remember, the journey of self-acceptance and mindful thinking continues. Let’s keep the conversation going—find me on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, or YouTube, and let me know what’s on your mind. Until next time, stay kind to yourself and keep growing

He’s walked the long road from McKinsey boardrooms to Indian living rooms, furnishing not just homes, but a new design language for how modern India lives.

Ashish Goel co-founded Urban Ladder and shaped it into a brand that turned furniture into aspiration - hardwood, steel, and soul. He scaled ideas with care and clarity.

Today, he calls himself a “climate tech evangelist.” And this isn’t branding. It’s conviction.

Ashish has backed over 30 startups in the sustainability space.

But this conversation went deeper than climate or capital.

That fewer words, when felt deeply, can carry more weight.

What sets Ashish apart is how he lives all of this.
An engineer who trusts intuition. A capitalist with a conscience.

So today, we’re not just speaking to a founder.
We’re speaking to a builder of futures. And I can’t wait for you to listen to this.

If you are building something, facing a tough season, or just need clarity, you need to hear this.

I started this podcast to share stories that inspire action. This conversation with C.K. Kumaravel is exactly that. He spoke openly about losing his father, how his mother held the family together, the ups and downs with his brother, facing failure, refusing handouts, and rebuilding from the ground up.

We spoke about how to think through problems, how to build systems, scale through franchising, and his view on investing, especially real estate vs liquidity. He has invested well in real estate, but the way he thinks about money, risk, and growth is something every entrepreneur needs to hear.

This episode is for anyone who is trying to make sense of setbacks, trying to build something real, or just needs to hear how someone kept showing up no matter what.

Don’t miss this one.

In an age where tradition often finds itself at odds with modernity, Dr. Padma Shri Nalli Kuppuswamy stands as a timeless bridge between the two. A legend of commerce, a custodian of culture, and a man whose life is defined by his unyielding discipline and simplicity, he is the symbol of the best of India’s entrepreneurial and ethical traditions.

For over eight decades, the name “Nalli” has been synonymous with trust, quality, and elegance in the world of textiles. Yet, the legacy of Nalli Kuppuswamy goes far beyond the shimmering silks his brand is famed for. It lies in the values he has upheld: an uncompromising commitment to authenticity, a disciplined approach to life and business, and an enviable ability to remain rooted in simplicity despite towering success.

What sets him apart is his refusal to be seduced by the trappings of fame and fortune. A Kalaimamani, a Padma Shri awardee, his humility is not a performance but a reflection of his belief that true greatness lies in serving others, whether through his quiet philanthropy or the thousands of livelihoods his enterprise sustains. His life’s journey is not merely a testament to perseverance but a masterclass in how leadership can be wielded with both resolve and grace.

Dr. Nalli Kuppuswamy is not just a man of legacy but a man of values, a rare combination in an increasingly transactional world. He reminds us that tradition, when coupled with innovation and humility, is not a relic of the past but a beacon for the future.

From revolutionizing the textile industry to building a global legacy, his journey is one of determination, humility, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

In this exclusive episode of Brewing Reflections, he shares invaluable lessons, experiences, and the values that shaped his success. Be inspired by the wisdom of a pioneer whose story continues to touch lives.

There is no single word that can fully describe the impact of my conversation with Mr. Anil Kumar SG, the visionary founder of Samunnati. He is a man who truly lives by what he speaks and has devoted himself to one of our most fundamental needs agriculture. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to sit across from him and explore his journey, values, and vision.
