Everyone calls India's clothing market too crowded. Harshil Dhaniwal built Hamptons in it anyway. Turning a ₹650 wholesale shirt into the country's widest range of embroidery shirts. In this episode, Harshil and Dhruv get into the full D2C playbook: the professor's question that started it all, why owning the factory (and a 50-piece minimum order) is the real moat, shooting a whole collection with AI, why "content is the new targeting," and the honest math on CPMs, cash flow and retention; plus a few wild brand stories, including how Anupam Kher ended up in one of their shirts. A must-listen if you're building in D2C, fashion, or a family business.

Veetrag Kumar, co-founder of Notice, joins Koi Nayi Baat Batao for a raw conversation about building a design-first brand in India: from a NEET dropout's sketchbook to collaborations with Budweiser and Method. They talk about notice's first products, the philosophy behind the brand's arrow logo, running fully bootstrapped with zero founder salaries, a near-miss with Nikhil Kamath's WTF Fund, and the mindset that execution always beats perfection. An honest look at design, risk, and building without a safety net.

India has 4,000+ MBA colleges producing 4 lakh graduates every year. 85% of them either have no job or earn below Rs 6 LPA after graduation. Suchit Sikaria, IIM-A alumnus with 19 years across Nokia, Perfetti Van Melle, and Sugar Cosmetics, is building India's most radical B-school to fix this. Crucible Business School charges fees as 75% of your actual placement salary, pays visiting faculty 5X more than top private colleges, and runs a 360-degree admission test with zero quant section. In this episode of Koi Nayi Baat Batao, Dhruv and Suchit go deep on all of it: the fee model, the MBA placement crisis, why VCs will never fund quality education, and how 20 students trusted a college with zero track record. They also get into Suchit's most personal story: Bhukkadpanti, a Rs 3 crore food startup he shut down at its most profitable quarter, not because the business failed, but because of who he was becoming while running it. If you have ever questioned whether the Indian MBA is worth it, this episode has the most honest answer you will hear.

She started Leafy Affair in 2016 with a product India had never seen. 🌿 10 years later, still bootstrapped, still not on Amazon, still not on Myntra, and still saying no to investors. Supriya Donthi is one of the most unconventional founders I've spoken to and this conversation genuinely surprised me. In this episode we talk about how storytelling became Leafy Affair's real moat, what she said when Shark Tank sharks called her idea copyable, why she rejected every investor who came after Shark Tank, the D2C jewelry rat race she's deliberately not running in, how repeat rate went from 12% to 30%, and the honest story behind @hermoonshot, her personal brand. If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to build a brand with intention over scale, this one's for you. 💚 Follow Supriya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hermoonshot/ Supriya on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/supriyadonthi/ Shop Leafy Affair: https://leafyaffair.com/ Leafy Affair on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leafyaffair/ Follow KNBB on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/koinayibaat/ KNBB on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/koi-nayi-baat-batao/ KNBB on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@koinayibaat

Get yourself some Gud Gum here: ⁠https://gudgum.in⁠ ---- Every chewing gum you've ever chewed has plastic in it. Polyethylene. PVC. The same stuff used to make tires and glue. Mayank Nagori, founder of Gud Gum, figured this out and decided to build an alternative from scratch. No investor. No contract manufacturer willing to work with him. Just a 1BHK, two people, and gums made by hand. In this conversation, Mayank and I get into what it actually takes to build a product category that doesn't exist yet in India. We talk about how he's trying to turn chewing gum into a habit, why he spent months visiting factories only to walk away empty-handed, what the plastic-free packaging experiment taught him the hard way, and how a brand with barely 3,000 Instagram followers ended up pitching on Shark Tank India. We also get into his other businesses including Hookie, a made-to-order dehydrated food startup born from his MSc thesis in the UK, and what he's learned about building things you can eventually step away from. This is a conversation about building slow, staying profitable, and caring about what you're putting into people's mouths. ----- Topics we cover in this episode: Why the Indian chewing gum market is tiny, and why that's actually an opportunity Building a habit from zero: the caffeinated gum, the dental gum, and why use cases matterThe contract manufacturing search that went nowhereHow Gud Gum landed on Shark Tank India with almost no social followingWhy offline still beats Instagram ads for themRevenue split, gross margins, repeat rates and the real numbersRunning multiple businesses without losing focus on the main oneHow to automate a business and actually trust people to run it---- 🎙️ Guest: Mayank Nagori, Founder of Gud Gum 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nagorio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayank-b-nagori-52084491/ ▶️ Gud Gum on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GudGum ---- ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wsKdbJB7zEw ---- 📲 FOLLOW KNBB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/koinayibaat/ KNBB LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/koinayibaat/
