That's What Shree Said Shreevar Chhotaria

We’re all migrants through time.



The story of NomadGao, a brainchild of Mayur Sontakke, is nothing short of a travel revolution.



Is it a hostel? Is it a hotel? Is it a BnB?



Turns out, it’s none of those.



“I used to get offended when people called us a hostel. Now, I don’t really care.” he says.



We discuss why digital nomadism is off to a sluggish start to India, how the government is trying to attract tourism by encouraging longer stays, and where we go as a 'community-first' society from here.



It’s a must-listen if you wanna get the f out your city sometimes.

GORP isn't just a word. It's an emotion.

Some fleeting thoughts.

You’ve heard of the popular maxim ‘show, don’t tell’.

But when it comes to Gaurav Jain, who's worked with companies like Star and Hotstar, I’d say ‘show then tell' seems like a better fit.

You’ll see what I mean when you listen to the episode in full.

This conversation takes us to midnights at the Hotstar office in Mumbai where G and his team were strategising and creating groundbreaking content, a sunny Central Park afternoon in New York with his daughter and wife, but most importantly, to his mind; the movies he’s watched, the books that he’s devoured, and the memes that he just. can’t. stop. sharing.

It’s a supremely chill conversation, that tastes best, with some 'pink gin' and tonic.

There are some great insights + anecdotes along the way too, especially if you’re interested in the content business.

Not just for the vibes.



I'm @shreevz on Twitter.

If you haven’t listened to part 1 of this conversation, it’s literally a tap away??

For Part 2, we start off with a rapid fire.

Then, we understand what are some of the retail metrics they use to run a store like Capsul, some of the brand values that they believe in (which has led to partnerships with brands like Budweiser and Hoovu Fresh), and some words of caution and pieces of advice for anyone who wants to start out in the world of streetwear.

It’s a fun conversation. Fun fun fun.
