Hi, thanks for stopping by! My name is Shantanu and I am the founder of Bombay Shaving Company and Bombae. My company has scaled to 1500+ Cr value (if this metric means anything haha), but more importantly, is a loved personal care brand which has scaled to 50L households and 1L stores in 5 years. The BarberShop was started with a clear thesis - India needs to create approximately a million jobs a month, currently, we create almost two hundred thousand. Our ‘Funda’ is to simplify entrepreneurship and make it accessible to everyone in the country so we inculcate an enterprising habit in the 23-24 year old of today. After the love received by S1, we have decided to go beyond conversations on our podcast to tangible help. With the help of our sponsors at BSC and Bombae we have put together a season which brings together a corpus of 50+ equity seekers looking to support 20+ start-ups in their growth and success.

    How Aai Mastered the Art of Selling | Ep1 Razorpreneur 3.0 | Win a KTM 390 Duke by Selling Omniblade

    Some journeys begin at home. For the first episode of Razorpreneur 3.0, mine does too. This time, I don’t bring a founder, VC, or CEO. I bring my mom – the best salesperson I know! In this episode shot in Pune, Aai visits her everyday kirana shops and steps into the world of sales for the first time. From friendly local stores to the chaos of FC Road, she convinces complete strangers to try the Omni Blade instead of the trimmers they usually buy. She has no sales experience, feels nervous, and faces rejection. But with every “no,” she learns, discovers the power of connecting with people, and sees that energy and storytelling can turn strangers into customers. Watching Aai’s pitches get braver with every try and seeing her enjoy each small win reminded me what entrepreneurship is really about. The courage, the no-excuse attitude, the determination. Now, it’s your turn. Razorpreneur 3.0 is here! The stakes are higher, the prizes hotter, and the race tougher: - Top Seller → KTM 390 Duke - Next 6 Champions → KTM 160 Duke each - 3 Lucky Buyers → KTM 160 Duke each Here’s how to jump in: 1.

    Can you scale fast without falling into legal traps? In this episode of The BarberShop with Shantanu, we are joined by Archana Rajaram (Managing Partner, River Law) and Anup Agarwal (Co-Founder & CEO, Mintifi) to decode a side of entrepreneurship that’s often left behind and what really happens when capital, compliance, and chaos collide. From helping founders steer clear of costly mistakes to making sense of India’s tricky legal systems, Archana breaks down how "good lawyering should never come in the way of business". And Anup shares how Mintifi is not just simplifying credit for distributors but doing it while keeping unit economics and risk in check. This episode is basically a founder survival guide on what to fight for, what to let go, and how to not get distracted by vanity clauses. Key Takeaways from the episode: Why not hiring a lawyer early could cost you crores.The dos and don’ts of equity dilution, term sheets, and board control.How Mintifi is solving working capital at scale using tech-first lending.When you should fight a clause and when to just move on.If you're a founder, investor, or just someone trying to make sense of startup chaos, this episode will make you think and maybe double-check your SHA. Let us know in the comments what’s one legal or financial misstep you wish someone had warned you about.

    ⁠From Inventing WiFi to Planting 2 Lakh Trees, Transforming 1500 Acres | A Visionary’s Journey

    Some episodes are personal. This one is family. I had the privilege of sitting down with two people who’ve shaped the way I think, live, and lead: Dr. Pravin Bhagwat (Founder of 14 Trees Foundation) and my father, Kiran Deshpande (Former CEO, Tech Mahindra. Founder, Mojo Networks. Board Member, 14Trees Foundation) two entrepreneurial men I've had the privilege of learning from since I was a child. They built a company together. Exited it with grace. And then, Pravin uncle did something most people wouldn’t, he walked away from the tech world to plant trees and build forests. Literally. He started the 14 Trees Foundation, a community-led movement that’s quietly restoring India’s green cover and here’s why he did it: While reading a 6th-grade textbook on photosynthesis with his daughter, Pravin Uncle had an eye-opening realization: that the carbon we emit can be neutralized simply by planting trees. In fact, it takes exactly 14 trees to neutralize the carbon footprint of one person over a lifetime. This simple, measurable, and relatable insight inspired him to act. It clicked with me instantly, and it’s become the core of what 14 Trees stands for, bringing nature back, one tree at a time. And his conversation isn’t about funding rounds or exits. It’s about friendship, purpose, legacy, and trees, making the world better: Some things you’ll take away from this episode: How my dad and Pravin uncle met, and the values they shared while building Mojo Networks.Why they left it all to work with their hands in the soil.What reforestation looks like and how you and I can help.Why building quietly can still leave a loud legacy.If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What comes after success?” this episode might offer a few answers. And here’s a way you can be part of it: If this conversation resonates with you, share the video on any social media platform along with your own takeaway (no generic reposts or AI summaries), and send it to me via DM or email shantanu@bombayshavingcompany.com and CC deepti@bombayshavingcompany.com. I’ll personally plant one tree in your name at 14 Trees. And if you go a step further and plant one yourself, maybe for a parent, mentor, pet, or friend, I’ll plant two more trees for you. That’s three trees. One simple act. No deadline. Let’s grow something together.

    Is the healthcare system in India broken, or just evolving? In the latest episode of Barbershop, Shantanu is joined by Viren Shetty, Vice Chairperson of Narayana Health (NH), to explore how the pandemic reshaped global healthcare and how, despite the changes, NH is committed to staying true to its values while introducing its new inpatient care services. Viren proudly reflects on the incredible legacy of his father, Dr. Devi Shetty, one of India’s most renowned cardiac surgeons. He shares how Narayana Health has emerged as a leading healthcare provider in the country.

This move, he explains, represents a major shift toward making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and focused on quality for all. Viren also reveals the intense pressure of being a second-gen entrepreneur and constantly proving himself while leading a firm rooted in his father’s vision. What you’ll discover: 1. The importance of prioritising health over everything else in the global economy. 2. Devi Shetty’s revolutionary approach to accessible patient care. 3. The contrast between the past and present generations' views on diagnosis. 4. What would Viren change in India’s healthcare system if he were in charge? 5.
