    How To Deal With Reverse Culture Shock (Moving Back To India After Masters In The USA POV) - w/ Ratik

    In this episode featured not-expert is Ratik Dutta. Ratik is a Marketing Ops Assistant Manager at SEED Global Education, which is a role he recently started after returning to India - having finished his Masters in Marketing degree from Purdue University in the US. Ratik takes us through the realities of a move back to India after a Master’s in the US - the reverse culture shock, prospects of getting jobs and perception of foreign grads, and somewhat paradoxically, settling back into one’s home. This is a topic that almost every international Indian student has wondered about - and we leave no stone unturned in terms of covering all the logistical and mental preparations that must go into this decision. We also contrast MBAs in India vs Masters in the US, and what Ratik thinks about the India growth story. If you are someone that is considering going back, please do reach out ad/or let us know in the comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the Ready Set Do podcast: 1.

    How To Realize The Ultimate Rendition Of The American Dream (Journey From Indian Railways To SpaceX) - w/ Sanjeev

    In this episode, my guest is Sanjeev Sharma. Sanjeev is a principle engineer at SpaceX and perhaps one of the most illuminative flag bearers of what the American Dream looks like in practice. We begin with Sanjeev’s time with the Indian Railways in the early 90s, and he walks us thru the extremely socialist hangover India was just beginning to recover from at the time and exactly what that was like on the ground-level. During his decade with the Indian Railways, Sanjeev contributed to some of the most cutting edge design work and laid the cornerstone for high-speed rails, and then went to Uni of Boulder, CO for his master’s degree in Mech Engineering to deepen his engineering systems design expertise. While he had plans to come back and continue, fate saw him do cutting edge work at Seagate Technology followed by eventually ending up at SpaceX. This journey from the Indian Railways to SpaceX is a fascinating snapshot in demonstrating exactly why the American Dream attracts tens of thousands of people towards itself, almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the Ready Set Do podcast: 1.

    How To Kickstart Your Singing (& Music Composition) Career In Bollywood - w/ Trishita

    In this episode, featured not-expert is Trishita Recs. Trishita is an award-winning playback singer and songwriter whose work has been featured on Netflix, HotStar and Zee5 among other notable places such as live events and concerts. Perhaps like most of you all out there, one of my longest-standing loves in life has been my love for music. However, I’ve always been fascinated by what its like to produce music. Trishita walks us thru how she was exposed to the world of music as a child though singing reality TV shows, and how she continued to navigate her complex relationship with music into teenage and adulthood. We go over her process for coming up with new songs, performing live, and balancing the art with the business side of things - such as landing gigs, finding work and forging a sustainable income source through her talent. Indeed, it was rather eye-opening to contextualize the struggle artists face and by the end of this episode, you will definitely learn to appreciate the grit and determination it takes to make it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the Ready Set Do podcast: 1.
