About me & The BarberShop with Shantanu:

My name is Shantanu and I am the founder of Bombay Shaving Company and Bombae.

I LOVE entrepreneurship. Personally, I would rate myself as an average (at best) entrepreneur, but I love great ones. The BarberShop with Shantanu is a podcast where I call entrepreneurs I admire, and go deep with them. Their journey, dreams, failures, challenges, parenthood, marriage, cofounder fights, loneliness, investors, money, success and so much more. The aim is to make entrepreneurship relatable and accessible.

We will be releasing an episode every Friday at 6 pm. Tune in and hope you enjoy. :)
