In this episode, our guest, Sandeep Das, Global Foresight Lead at Mars Wrigley, bestselling author, and speaker at 20+ IITs & IIMs, talked about India’s toxic work culture, career mistakes, and modern relationships. Did you know Indians work 50 hours a week on average, one of the highest in the world? We discuss why Indian workplaces struggle with productivity, leadership, and trust, and how employees can take control of their careers.

Beyond work, we dive into negotiation secrets, job security, and the problem of blind ambition. Sandeep challenges the way we see networking, learning, and growth.

In the last part, we tackle loneliness, friendships, and why modern dating & marriages are failing. Are men struggling with emotional support? Why are people chasing glamour in relationships? And what’s with the ick factor in dating today? This episode will challenge things you thought you knew. Hit subscribe for more such conversations!
