Hi, thanks for stopping by!

You’re listening to #TheBarbershopWithShantanuS2: #RaisersEdge.

In today's episode, we're confronting the controversy head on.

In case you missed it, Shantanu made a post on LinkedIn praising Shanky Chauhan, Senior Vice President - Head of Sales & Chief of Staff at Bombay Shaving Company & Bombae, and his unmatched dedication to his work. Link to the post here https://bit.ly/3T3N24y So we finally decided to bring Shanky to the Barbershop to clear things out.

We talk about his infamy on LinkedIn, how he reacted to it, how he's risen amongst the ranks at Bombay Shaving Company, building a team of 250+ people, and so much more.

Stay tuned till the end of the episode because you CANNOT afford to miss this one!
