About this listen

No slides. No polish. Just what stuck. This show is built from notes I’ve made over time—while managing teams, solving problems, and learning how things actually work. Each episode breaks down one idea, one model, or one case that helped me think clearer. Not because it looked good in theory, but because it made sense in practice. It’s not academic. It’s not inspirational. It’s just real stuff that stuck. If you're building something, running things, or trying to get better at decision-making—this is for you.GR Economics Management Management & Leadership

  • Managers Aren’t Born, They’re Trained — Here’s How
    Jul 7 2025

    This isn’t your usual HR lecture.

    This episode breaks down how companies like Toyota and Dr. Reddy’s actually train people, what real onboarding looks like (not just PowerPoint marathons), and how to build a five-step training program that works even if you’re not an L&D expert. We also go into how leaders are made, not just hired — and why most companies get it wrong.

    If you’ve ever been thrown into a new job with zero clue what’s going on, or if you’re a manager trying to build your team from scratch — this episode will hit home.

    No fluff. No jargon. Just real, grounded stuff from one of the most practical chapters in HRM. Hit play. Let’s decode how training actually works.

  • How Amul, Indigo & Kia Use HR Like Chess, Not Checkers
    Jul 7 2025

    This isn’t just another HR theory dump.
    It’s the full behind-the-scenes playbook of how strategy meets human resources.
    Why do companies like Indigo, Amul, or Kia Motors get HR right while others stay stuck in mediocrity?
    Because they don’t treat HR as a support function — they use it as a strategic weapon.
    This episode breaks it all down. From strategy maps to real case studies, we decode what strategic HRM actually looks like on the ground — not in textbooks.
    Whether you're in B-school or boardroom, this one’s worth your time.

  • Hiring, Firing, and WTF is Strategic HR?
    Jul 7 2025

    This isn’t another HR lecture.

    This episode breaks down the real deal behind how companies actually manage people — not just policies and forms, but how hiring, training, tech, and strategy come together in the real world.

    Why do small businesses skip HR and regret it later? Why are non-HR people suddenly leading HR teams in big companies? What’s the connection between HR and profit? And what’s the real reason a worker couldn’t name the machine he was operating?

    If you’ve ever led a team, or plan to — this episode is for you.

    Listen before your next hiring mistake.
