    Can you travel internationally under ₹1 lakh? Is taking a loan to travel worth it? And what happens when you go on a trip with complete strangers?

What it lacks is conversations worth your time. I'm Aleena Qureshi, Founder of Social Media Dissect, a marketing company built on understanding content, media, brands, and consumer behaviour. Aleena Dissects Podcast is an extension of that curiosity. Each episode brings together people from business, entertainment, media, sports, technology, education, and beyond, not just to talk about what they've achieved, but to explore how they think, what shaped them, the decisions that changed their journey, and the lessons they've learned along the way. Every conversation goes beyond the headlines and beyond the obvious, leaving you with ideas, perspectives, and insights worth carrying forward.
