    Ep 7 | S2: Allopathy Vs Ayurveda | 25 Years of PhytoChemistry | Amit Jindal On Organic Industry | TSBP14

    “60% of the Ayurvedic and organic market is driven by branding and marketing.” That’s not coming from a critic. It’s coming from someone who spent over 25 years inside the pharmaceutical and wellness industry. In this eye-opening conversation, Sourabh Goyal sits down with Amit Jindal, Founder of Ayudhan Organic and a veteran of the Pharma and nutraceutical space to uncover what’s really happening inside the wellness industry. From fake “organic” claims and low-quality ingredients to the science behind Ayurveda and gut health, this conversation goes far beyond surface-level health advice. Amit explains why most people are exhausted despite trying to eat healthy, why modern work culture is silently damaging digestion and energy levels, and how wellness brands often prioritize storytelling over actual efficacy. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of ingredient quality. Amit explains how something as common as turmeric can vary massively in effectiveness depending on where it’s sourced from. While some varieties are rich in curcumin and medicinal value, others are mostly useful for color and taste. That difference alone changes whether a product genuinely improves health or simply looks good on packaging. The discussion also dives deep into Ayurveda, not as a trend, but as a balancing science. Amit explains the concept of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha body types, why health can never be “one-size-fits-all,” and how understanding your body can completely change your lifestyle choices. For entrepreneurs, creators, corporate professionals, and high performers, this episode is packed with practical insights: Why irregular eating habits damage gut healthThe hidden impact of caffeine, smoking, and stressHow chewing food properly improves digestionWhy sleep is still the most underrated performance toolMorning habits that improve energy naturallyWhy smaller nutrient-dense meals work better than heavy eatingThe real role of nutraceuticals in modern health Amit also explains the difference between allopathy, Ayurveda, and nutraceuticals in one of the most practical ways possible. Instead of positioning them against each other, he explains where each system fits and why modern wellness needs a combination of traditional wisdom and scientific standardization. Towards the end, the conversation shifts to trust in the wellness industry — covering third-party lab testing, clinically studied ingredients, formulation transparency, and how consumers can identify products that are genuinely effective instead of heavily marketed. If you’re someone trying to improve your health, productivity, focus, longevity, or lifestyle without falling for internet wellness trends, this conversation will change how you think about modern health.

    Ep 5 | S2: Arush Chopra on Brand Building, Algorithms & The Founder Mindset Shift | TSBP12

    We didn’t expect this conversation to go here. What started as a structured discussion slowly turned into something far more real, a deep dive into how brands are actually built in today’s world. In this conversation, Sourabh Goyal sits down with Arush Chopra, the entrepreneur behind Just Herbs, a brand that started with his mother’s formulations and scaled into India’s growing D2C ecosystem. Today, he’s also working closely with founders at The Foundery, helping shape the next generation of brands. But this isn’t just a founder journey. It’s a conversation about what happens after you start, when the market gets noisy, trends move fast, and clarity becomes harder to hold onto. We explore: What brand building really looks like todayWhy personal branding is becoming essential for foundersThe difference between chasing valuation vs creating real valueHow founders get pulled into noise, trends, and short-term thinkingThe mindset required to step back, rethink, and build intentionally There are moments where the conversation shifts, from answers to reflection, from strategy to mindset. And that’s where it becomes interesting. If you’re building a startup, growing a brand, or navigating the pressure of constant content and growth, this conversation offers a more grounded perspective on what it actually takes to build something that lasts. Watch till the end. The real value is in how the thinking evolves.

    Ep 3 | S2: Passion is not a Business, Ft. Tushar Mittal

    In this episode of The Successbrew Podcast Season 2, we sit down with Tushar Mittall, Founder of MySOHO.com (acquired) and Host of the Zero to X Podcast, for a raw and deeply honest conversation about what it truly takes to build a company that is designed to scale. This episode is not about motivation. It is about clarity. Tushar walks us through the early days of MySOHO, including the phase most founders never talk about openly. The point where the business was almost shut down. The identity crisis of being a new brand where nobody knows you, nobody trusts you, and nobody is waiting for your product. He explains why branding is far more than a logo or a name, especially in asset heavy businesses like co working. When you are asking landlords, banks, and institutions to trust you with property and capital, the story you build around your business matters as much as the numbers. As the conversation unfolds, we move into one of the most misunderstood areas of entrepreneurship. Team building. Tushar shares his non negotiable rule for founders. If a hire is not working and you are unable to find a solution, you must fire. Not out of ego or anger, but out of responsibility towards the company. Scaling requires speed, alignment, and clarity. Emotional attachment slows all three. One of the most important insights from this episode is around mindset. Most founders want to scale, but very few are mentally prepared for what scaling demands. Removing emotion from decision making, separating passion from profitability, and understanding that if money does not matter to you, then what you are building is not a business. It is a hobby. This episode also breaks the romantic myth of the solo founder journey. You can walk only a certain distance alone. Beyond that, progress demands a team that is capable, empowered, and aligned with the company’s intent to scale. We also explore how MySOHO reached a stage where expansion opportunities came looking for them. A phase where simply expressing interest in a town opened multiple doors. A result of building credibility, systems, and scale readiness over time. Towards the end, Tushar opens up about his current work, content creation, and how founders can connect with him directly. He shares why Instagram and YouTube are his preferred platforms and how he personally responds and engages with entrepreneurs who reach out. This episode is especially relevant for: Early stage founders struggling with hiring and firing decisionsEntrepreneurs confusing passion with business sustainabilityStartup operators preparing for scaleFounders building asset heavy or marketplace businessesAnyone who wants honest conversations instead of sugar coated advice If you are building a company to scale, this episode will challenge how you think, decide, and lead. Watch till the end. This is one conversation most founders realise they needed, only after it is too late.
