A Billionaire at the age of 37 is learning "potential difference" like a child from top industry experts by saying himself an idiot 10 times in the whole video. This is really WTF💥 level of curiosity to learn and understand something. Heads off to you man. Respect for you has now become 10 times more.🙏🙏🙏
Bro... I am in awe.. For the first time i was able to feel Nikhil... Since he isn't a science student as well, he asked questions, with a sense of learning and not throwing his arrogance around. Humble man
He is styling it as a curious high school boy.. 😅 He is a super successful business man who is sharing this info with others for their benefit. At the time directly listening from horse's mouth.. next investment opportunities for his venture capitals.. 😂 Very well dealt ace! .. 👏🏼🙏🏻👏🏼
This comment thread looks like another one of those elaborate scams that are going on. Do not fall for these guys! Please safe guard your money and stay away from magical stuff!
This guy here - Nikhil Kamat. Youre doing an amazing work helping the young generation learn the world of business and entrepreneurship. Bonus the video has no ads. Thanks a ton!
There is lot to learn, I have been a EV user since 2002, done about 2 lakh kms total adding all the cars I have driven on electric. Its a great experience. Thanks Chetan for the Reva, I still own, will switch to Lithium batteries. Thanks Nikhil
Even I observed that... He might have used his network to get the financial for the whole fleet. that's the reason he don't wish to reveal except info which is very obvious ..
He once goes - "I don't know ya" and puts his hand on his head. He clearly get uninterested super fast. Could not stop laughing. It indeed is better than a lot of comedies.
I would love to be an assistant to CHETAN MAINI SIR ... What a GUY !!! So much knowledge and insight into EV WORLD ... Launched REVA when EVs were a dream ... Mr. Mahindra is totally right in calling him GRANDFATHER of ENERGY ... All other Guests were also Good but CHETAN MAINI SIR stands out everytime he speaks ... Hoping EVs are a Game Changing Opportunity for India ...
Nikhil, when I was kid, I used to watch Mahabharat and shakitman to enjoy Sundays, It was long form of content. After very long time I'm watching your podcasts on Sundays with nostalgia. For me It's learning platform without heaviness of learning. I prefer to watch it rather than listening to it, so I can pause the video to read the definition of jargons used by experts. Kudos to you to for creating amazing content and adding value to my life.

I would really love to see a podcast on economy from Nikhil because I think he is guy who knows what questions to ask and has resources and connection to get the big minds on this topic so please....give us a podcast on economy
@@sageofsixpaths98I don't think the basics of ev like cell or battery is hard to dumb down...the business side of things could be but basics are literally taught in colleges to students, not hard at all
@@sageofsixpaths98have you seen elon? He can dumb it down to teach a child. Clearly, the panel here is just business and management people, not much on tech/handson side
Nikhil is doing everything to get all the secrets out from top executives to teach everyone which is so difficult and everyone is so humble to share all that with such humility.
Nikhil should be awarded a padmashree for running such invigorating industry focused discussion with the experts in the industry, the selection of guests is impeccable, the focus on the subject, the intent and the absolute gems on the show makes this prodcast unique, infact the best prodcast on business
Moderating such an in-depth conversation among the subject matter experts takes a different level of skill and curiosity. Especially for someone who's outside the domain. This is totally remarkable, Nikhil 👏👏
Your podcasts are very insightful. I listen to them during my commute and it's become a ritual now. I'm looking forward to the next interesting topic. One topic suggestion: "semiconductor/Quantum technology and new tech". This is a topic suggestion because many Indian firms are working on it in Bengaluru.
I don't think lot of people got what Suruchi said but whatever she is doing I think she understands her work/business very well and also she is targeting the right thing. I really wish her success.
She is not doing anything complex. She makes hydrogen and supplied to oil industry. Her entire business is from oil business Ambani refinery, Indianoil, BP, ONGC etc. Hydrogen has no chance against EV. But in the hydrogen supply chain petrol pumps, refinery like Ambani and govt's also get to have a share and make money. In EV, Ambani and govt. refinery oil industry have no money to make. It is as simple as that. The Ather guy debunked her by saying the hydrogen has no efficient mobility usecase and everyone knows that, but the govt is still pushing for hydrogen because the govt's "consultants" are interested in the hydrogen. Why? because with hydrogen cars/ bikes there is money for refineries oil businesses to still make money in future. The consultants are lobbies representing Ambani, IndianOil, BP, HPCL, petrol pumps mafia etc. and they want to push for hydrogen as alternative to EV/ future fuel.
Plus she couldn't even introduce herself in a manner that would be suitable for the audience, and just started throwing her life story, buzz words, anecdotes etc. and rambled on for minutes but still as a layman i could not make heads or tail of what she actually does and was really annoyed by that. (ps:- Did a google dive on her, not worth it so to speak)@@indraneelb.7972
@@indraneelb.7972Her business is the R&D concerning electricity producing microorganisms. Her field is fascinating and large scale deployment of the same will be incredible. At the moment using the same for conversion to hydrogen through an electrolyzer is legitimate market strategy. Solar was panned early on as too expensive and impractical. Today is has the praise of advocates like you.
Well it's basic rule of corporate meeting that you don't put two directly competing people/firms which are equivalent to ticking time bomb ready to blast in just condition one difference of opinion , you would observe in all his podcasts that there are no directly competing parties there 😂

His show feels like those easy-to-follow "books for dummies" that everyone loved. Each episode is a cool way to learn stuff. Excited for the next one! Thanks for the awesome content!
Imagine a commerce student having a pretty mediocre career consuming this episode and that too at once. Kudos to you guys. And specially Nikhil for ensuring it to keep as simple as possible.
It was really good to see that all these founders are unveiling their business models, secrets, cost structures etc on open platforms, which may increase competition for them. Nikhil is also doing a good job here to not allowing them to evade any question.
Suruchi and Chetan really stood out in this conversation. Their depth of information, the way they explained complex concepts, the way they broke down stats, everything just excellent!
I am really addicted to your Podcast. It's really appreciatable how such a successful person like you is making time to deliver and teach commoners like us on such beautiful topics and businesses.
2:23 thanks Tarun for saving the poor guy from intruding personal questions. You are an empathetic person. We Indians really have to stop our habit of probing people who are introvert or modest or being humble. I used to be like that bluesmart guy, getting more and more awkward with such BS questions...nowadays I just destroy these people by asking ultraprobing extremely personal questions back....such as are you regretting having children or how is your libido after decades of married life etc. etc. The Paradox is, once you achieve the ability to fireback, people realize it and you don't get asked such questions anymore, however much you want that to happen.
1 hour into the podcast, I have a feeling that this is not the content that Nikhil is known for. I can be wrong as it progresses but this is so chaotic with nobody giving beautiful insights that has been the USP of this series.
If the infrastructure is in place, I would go for a swappable battery vehicle. It solves the problem of long charging time (even with fast chargers, it would take 20-25 minutes) and the depreciating battery life won't be a concern. And with ever advancing technology I might get a longer range on the same vehicle. Chetan here is seeing the bigger picture, getting the infrastructure in place is a prerequisite for it.
Thank you all for such an in-depth conversation. -Ambient air quality fund for Delhi and still the air is not so ambient to breathe…. - I personally feel manual swapping in 2 wheelers is a good option.
@@prasthambhmedia8033You probably won't be needing Such charging times with innovation in the battery segment.We currently use lithium ion/polymer battery which in long term would switch to graphene making vehicles capable of 5-20 x the range of today's and also probably increase life cycles and reduce charging times.So it is still an area of innovation
Nikhil Kamath's podcast about electric vehicles in India is truly enlightening. The discussion delves into crucial aspects of EVs, offering valuable insights. Kamath's hosting adds an engaging touch, making the complex topic accessible. A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of transportation in India.
One of the best podcast I have ever watched. I completed it while I was travelling to and from office and eagerly waiting for office hours to complete just for this podcast
Show the entire 6 hour conversation without cuts. People who listen to your podcast are here to learn, they will happily endure the long conversations. Cutting some part that could give a spark to someone might be detrimental to your initial idea of helping budding entrepreneurs. Also, if lex freidman can have 6-7 hour long podcasts, nikhil can definitely have them. Great work though! Please keep this up 👍
Excellent insight from Tarun and Chetan on pros and cons of battery swapping. Although it looks like the more pros for swapping, it is hard to sell it to end consumer. Consumers don't think logically 😂
I want them to bring battery swapping options for EV cars as well. Let Tata Nexon give us a car with 20kwh builtin permanent battery and other 20kwh in at least 4 modules. So in city, I don't need swappable battery. I need them only in highway every 150kms. The way I want it is to add modular small sized batteries which can be handled with some equipment.
As a 20 year old who knows absolutely nothing about EV, it got too technical to be able to grasp and hence lost interest after an hour. The way kiran mazumdar explained biotech with such patience and in so much details got me hooked for entire 3 hrs. Hope to listen to more guests like that . ❤
I agree. Came here from Spotify to comment that she has so much more to share than the guys let her speak. Don't like the fact that she got cut off as many times.
Cool of you to do that. I think that's the way we can change it by pointing it out and to be aware of it (for both genders) . I am sure the guys aren't trying to consciously curb her but rather an inherent nature thats been in boys club way too often
Boys didn't under state her. She did it to herself and it rubbed off onto others. It is not even about gender here, a young less experienced boy would have had the same experience.
@@realmilind No one is saying the boys made her do it. We are talking about the general scenario . by the way, her company is a year older than blusmart, so she is not a newbie that has to be to cut off this much and then be explained her own tech to her
Just finished the podcast. We've been recycling Lithium Ion Batteries for past 10 years and we can vouch that the market for recycled materials is still in a very nascent stage. We don't have enough pCAM manufacturers as of now, secondly all the recycling claims being done by new age startups are confined to semi recycling and are shipping away all the critical materials outside India in the form of Black Mass. We on the other hand are manufacturing Battery Grade precursor materials and are finding it hard for any Offtake of such materials.
All the speakers were very protective of their business. No one provided deep insights. No healthy competition was promoted despite efforts from Nikhil
2:07:00 They’ve given a great overview of the internal workings of a cell, and I found an even simpler explanation as a kid. Potential voltage (which is quite similar to potential energy) typically refers to a resting energy level which an object has at a certain point of time. This ‘potential’ energy can be converted to other forms of energy given the correct circumstances. A ball dropped from a height is a great example. The ball has some potential energy as we know for a fact that it will fall due to gravity. When the ball is released, it gains velocity, which means it is gaining kinetic energy. Now energy cannot be created out of nothing, so essentially it is the potential energy of the ball getting converted to kinetic energy. Now let’s talk about an electrical cell. A cell is a device which converts stored chemical energy to electrical energy. In a cell, several negatively charged particles called electrons are brought together in a small space known as the anode. We know that particles of the same charge repel each other. So, the electrons at the anode have a lot of potential energy as we know for a fact they’ll move away from the anode under the right circumstances. On the other hand, the cathode of the cell is full of positive charges, which is a great place for the electrons at the anode to be. So you can see, this is a state where there is a lot of potential energy. As soon as the anode and cathode are connected by extrenal wiring, movement of these charges become possible and electrons move from the Anode to the Cathode. Thus, the stored electric voltage difference in the cell is being converted to electrical energy (motion of electrons). Even though negative charges are flowing from Anode to Cathode here, we have a convention in electricity that only positive charges flow. So by physical definitions, current flows from Cathode to Anode. Tldr: A cell has a cathode with high potential energy so that charges flow out of it into the anode (low potential energy). This flow of charges is electrical energy. P.S. This explanation has to do with how a cell provides energy to the outside world and not the chemical reactions happening inside the cell. Although the internal working of the cell is completely in harmony with the above explanation, it is a bit more complicated, but certainly no less interesting! Hope this helps.
It's finally here, the most awaited episode on my list. Thank you Nikhil for educating us with business pioneers of today and their insights are just amazing and real for everyone who is getting into this field.
Nikhil bhai, dhanyawaad. Waise toh EV main koi business karne ki capacity ayi nahin hai. But podcast ke baad capability taiyaar kar sakte hain. Apne 6 Hr diya woh bhi free main knowledge RU-vid main dala. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Suruchi didn't seem to fit the rest of the panel in terms of domain expertise or work done in the space so far. A quick check shows that her company has been funded (series A) by Nikhil's Investing arm. Explains why she got the additional spotlight and multiple Qs to talk about her background, education and story. Well played, Sir!
Nikhil himself told in the video that he is an investor, he never tried to hide the fact. You may feel she isn't the right fit after watching the video, but before I'm sure most of had doubt weather hydrogen vehicles are a viable solution, and they go down to it here and show that EVs are better and she explained so many nice things about clime change and carbon capture which important part of the EV story.
Nikhil, Please allow them to complete their sentence before you ask the other question. We don't want to lose out on anything valuable they are saying. Thanks a ton, I Love your show.
Hey Nikhil, great podcasts from you and your team. Just a suggestion - can you bring together folks who were doing 9 to 6 rat race and left jobs and started their ventures. Can definitely give a good sense of how they managed coming out of that and making big with all the mindset change...
Great stuff Nikhil! I am inspired by Tarun’s confidence in their scooter and decided to buy an Ather but availability is an issue like 3 months waiting 😅😢
The Bluesmart guy is really smart.. Not giving out everything. True businessman quality.. Hunger is clear visible on his way how he explains..not giving out too much..
Founder of Reva makes sense with swappable batteries in cities. Cost of ownership is less. Risk of battery life loss or replacement is lower. Battery thermal management could be an issue unless they solve that issue.
First time i actually listened an entire podcast this long. Needs to be encouraged. I'm even throwing a like and a comment so that the algorithm knows that this kind of content is appreciated. Great work.
it's all about asking the right questions..all the questions Nikhil asked were so essentially fundamental which is a fusion of both from the investor and enthusiasts point of view..absolutely stunning
I was completely hooked for 3 hours 💯. This is the difference between Nikhil Kamath and Ashneer Grover 😂😂 Such a great video full of knowledge, waiting for more 💥🙌🏻
These Podcasts are too good, even if you don’t watch and just listen. They are proving to be a good partner during to and fro between Home and Office in Mumbai Traffic
People commenting that this is like a business school need to know that you can consume data all day long but data won't translate into real world skills which the business school somewhat tries to teach. These data consumption mostly leads to knowledge showoff amongst peers.
True but I think it's still critical to listen, learn, take notes and continue curiosity, helps clear out mind clog when you are stuck on a problem or just need that boost of ideas.
Nikhil bhai's podcast is actually very descriptive and amazing this is exactly what I wanted a group of experts talking with each other sharing opinions on the current trends , thanks for the help and support you are giving to us...🙏🙌
@Nikhil has clearly not studied 10th std. Other guests have to teach him the basics of battery, current, etc. But kudos for showing how to learn on a daily basis. We all tend to overestimate our knowledge and refrain from learning any complex problem. The way he asks questions is simply mind-blowing
Thank you Nikhil for seting up a free business school which is 10x valuable than expensive B-schools :) Epic episode. Thanks you all for taking out 6-7 hours for this.
I am sure by the end of the podcast, he has created a competitor for all the guests 😊. Nikhil, I must say you are doing half of the work for the youths. Really appreciate your work man, love this. Please continue 🙏🙏🙏
Nikhil Bhai I am an commerce student currently persuing CA the above podcast changed my view about science i can actually say that as i love science practically but does not like therotically i.e i had choosen commerce but i am always curious about science how things go on and on and how technology is changing everything. EV 's upcoming One of the largest Industry Makes me very excitedf to start my own venture which plays around EV Infra . You ask very important question about industry from Infra-to-energy-to-green hydrogen-to-ev mobility-to-battery swap-to-cells this make me more curious about the industry . The podcast is one of the best podcast which i can gain a knowledge. I am excited for upcoming podcast and bro you must have the curiocity of asking stupid question which makes sense as its very difficult to get the answer to those question and you become our intermidiator to get answer of question. Thanks for great effort . Wanted to meet you in near future.
Loved the curiosity of Nikhil. Just like a curious student. This video is the best thing one can watch. Can be released in multiplexes as a documentary movie. Hats off.
