It's not often that you'll meet someone who cares about the business of creativity, and the creativity of business too. Both of us went independent at roughly the same time. Since then, Palash has worked on a bunch of interesting projects, something that we touch briefly upon. This conversation features our thoughts on the past, future, and present of content, how 'new media' and 'traditional media' will have to learn to coexists, the current predicament of the move business and of course, a spicy rapid fire at the end. If you're even remotely interested in media, content, stick around. It'll be worth it.Palash's creds:1) Twitter: https://x.com/ABiggerSpalash2) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/palash-kulkarni-a6696525/3) Newsletter: https://palashk.substack.com/4) COZM: https://www.cozm.in/Listen to the highly-recommended 'All Risk is Creative': My creds: 1) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreevar-chhotaria-57524b147/2) Twitter: https://x.com/shreevz3) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shreevz/4) Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6904470431361765376/Timestamps: 00:00 - Precap 01:03 - Introduction04:22 - IIT-B, Bain, and the Hotstar 'externship'07:42 - How do media investments work?13:09 - A Bigger Spalash, Palash's newsletter!14:19 - A24 is basically a16z?21:29 - The difference between our writing process28:16 - Palash's consumption universe38:13 - Culture is more than just cinema.

How do you make a community for creators?

I don't know the answer to that question because that's not how things began. C&C started out as a 'workshop' for podcast enthusiasts. Since then, it has become a community that houses some of the country's best creative talent; featuring marketers, creative strategists, and creators. We have offline 'episodes', where our members discuss, debate, and workshop new (and old) ideas. As you might have guessed, there's the coffee that keeps us going. ;) My goal is for chapters or 'seasons' of C&C to charter across the world's most creative cities. Watch the video to found out how!
