Today my guest is Amit Varma. Amit hosts one of India's most popular podcasts, touching on economics, public policy, history, and culture. The podcast is called The Seen and the Unseen. Amit also co-hosts the popular YouTube show 'Everything is Everything' with his close friend, economist Dr. Ajay Shah.

A prolific writer, Amit blogs at India Uncut and authors the must-read newsletter 'India Uncut Newsletter.' He is a two-time winner of the Bastiat Prize for journalism and a leading libertarian voice.

In today's episode, I talk to him about his early exposure to reading, the influence his dad had on him, and his writing stints at MTV, Channel V, and Cricinfo. We also talk about his life as a professional poker player before diving deep into his podcasting journey. I'm thrilled to have Amit on the show. Please like, share and subscribe to this channel as it will help us get such great guests.
