ST13 | Sneha Visaria on Building a New Brand in a Mature, Low-Margin Industry

What would you say if I suggested that you should build a new brand in a mature, highly fragmented, price sensitive industry? And what if I also challenged you to grow it at the same speed as a tech startup? Well, you'd likely say that's crazy talk. But it really isn't. Today we are speaking with Sneha Visaria, Founder and Director of PDD Falcon, a leading Indian stainless steel home and kitchenware brand, that started just about a little over four years ago. And it's been more than doubling revenue every year. A feat that I think is beyond many VC funded startups as well. So we're going to ask her about her journey, and also some of the tips and things that she's learned to get so successful in such a difficult industry. If you liked the episode, and I'm sure that you will, do give us a five-star rating and please follow ShopTok to get the best small business insights from across Asia. Show Notes available here.

ST10 | Azmul Haque on Carving Out a Profitable Niche Within a Highly Competitive Market

We all have business ideas from time to time. Speaking for myself, I think I get one every week but when we think of it, we convince ourselves that the market is too crowded, there won't be any takers. Yet another shop, another consulting firm, another podcast even. So with so many well established choices available, why would a customer want to try yet another option? And yes, that may be true in the broad sense. But who says you have to go broad? When you're starting out, you don't need much to be successful and success could well come from targeting underserved niches. Segments of the market that others haven't spotted or cannot serve effectively or profitably. Do check this episode and let us know what your thoughts are on our Linkedin.

MT18 | Climate-Proof Your Finances

We recently read a couple of worrying reports. One was about Dragonflies spreading north as the world warms, giving them a greater habitable area. And the second one was about animals shapeshifting in response to climate crisis. Warm blooded animals are changing beaks, legs and ears to adapt to a hotter climate and better regulate temperature. And further on the human side, the latest issue of the Economist reports that climate commitments so far will at best give us a 50-50 chance of hitting the outer bound 2 degree temp rise with only a 5% chance of keeping with 1.5 degrees, the much safer limit that let's us continue with life as usual. That's chilling, in all the wrong ways. So if you are still reluctant to adapt to the changing climate, it is time to learn from the animal kingdom and evolve. Show notes available here

MT13 | Watch this SPAC (SPAC Stocks)

Free SPAC-Spotters Checklist with this episode. Click through to show notes using the link below Tech companies have really soared in price over the past year or so. So it's almost impossible now to find good growth prospects in today's market. That's why lots of people - myself included - are waiting cash in hand for a new generation of tech unicorns to IPO, so we can scoop them up before they too become unaffordable. Unfortunately IPOs are long, painful and costly affairs for the startups in question, so many of them are now opting for a different, more direct route to market by merging with shell companies called SPACs. This saves them a lot of time and money and guarantees their valuation, all good things for the startup. But is the SPAC mania also good for retail investors like us? Show notes here

Well today we have with us Mark Reeve, Partner at St James Place Wealth Management, who’s spent his entire career advising people on how to deploy and invest their money. And he’s going to give us insights into how financially successful people think about managing money. Show notes available here.
