Build Karo brings you unfiltered conversations with India's early-stage founders who are building startups from the ground up. This isn't about billion-dollar exits or founder celebrities. It's about the real builders—student entrepreneurs launching their first ventures, solo founders shipping MVPs with limited resources, bootstrapped builders solving real problems, and first-time founders navigating the chaos of 0 to 1. Each episode dives into the honest truth: the challenges, pivots, failures, small wins, and lessons that don't make it to LinkedIn. From Women in Startups Week to Student Founders, AI Builders, and Bootstrapped Journeys, we spotlight the stories that inspire action, not just applause. Hosted by StratSchool, creators of the BUILD program that helps student entrepreneurs execute real projects. Because building isn't about permission—it's about getting started.
