Indian farmers receive only about one-third of the final selling price of fruits and vegetables, according to research papers published by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on food inflation. The rest of the amount goes largely to wholesalers and retailers. In contrast, farmers in the dairy sector get around 70% of the final price, and egg producers receive about 75%. The studies revealed that for staple items like tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, farmers get about 33%, 36%, and 37% of the consumer price, respectively. For fruits, farmers earn 31% of the final price for bananas, 35% for grapes, and 43% for mangoes on the domestic market. When exported, the share for mangoes increases, but for grapes, it decreases, even if the overall price is higher. Economist Ashok Gulati, co-author of the study, mentioned that price spikes can be forecasted using a «balance sheet approach.» The research suggests several measures to prevent these spikes, including expanding private markets, enhancing the use of the e-NAM platform, promoting farmer collectives, and relaunching futures trading. Moreover, the study recommends building cold storage facilities, encouraging solar-powered storage, increasing processing capacities, and promoting consumer awareness of processed products.

In his introduction video, Dalal addressed some of his controversies which included his much-publicised spat with fellow influencer Carry Minati. He stated that while many people have an image of him due to his controversies, nobody ever bothered to know the reason behind them. “Everyone on social media is trying to defame me. I am called a bad boy, a villain. People must have seen my controversies, but no one ever tried to know the reason behind them. I was a professional powerlifter. When I wore medals, no one paid attention. But when I was handcuffed, that’s when everyone searched my name,” he said. Talking to the host, superstar Salman Khan, Dalal said that he never started feuds, only reacted when he had no other choice. “The audience likes to see fights, my positive side was never seen, only the negative side got highlighted. As for controversies, I am at fault, but I never start those controversies. I have only messed up with Carryminati once. I never made any hate comments against him until his roast video where he made fun of me. If you influence a huge audience, you should not defame someone.”

Ashi Anand, Founder & CEO, IME Capital, says the whole shift towards digital platforms in India is a theme that is very attractive from a longer-term perspective. It is a longer term story around value migration that is happening from traditional businesses towards digital forms of transaction. This could be across payments, food, or transportation, etc. The other core space Anand is gung-ho on is financiers which includes the BFSI space, and capital markets. There is a clear growth runway as the financialization of savings in India is still a nascent kind of trend. You track IT or tech pretty closely. Do you think that is one sector which will manage to wade through the storm that we are currently seeing because it is showing some sporadic outperforming moves? Ashi Anand: We need to differentiate between IT services and tech or what we like to call digital or digital platforms. If I just focus on digital platforms, that is really the longer term story around value migration that is happening from traditional businesses towards digital forms of transaction. Now, this could be across payments, it could be across food, it could be across transportation, etc. The whole shift towards digital platforms in India is honestly a theme that we believe to be very attractive from a longer-term perspective and really does not get too impacted by whatever is going on right now.

During the podcast, Nithin Kamath emphasized the importance of maintaining good mental health, drawing from his own experiences. “Mental health is something I care about quite a bit,” he said. “For me, it’s about not keeping anything in my mind—just letting it out.” Nithin explained that holding onto thoughts and emotions only complicates matters, encouraging a more open approach to dealing with personal issues. Nikhil Kamath, the younger of the two, shared an instance from his life where Nithin’s advice played a crucial role. Playfully reflecting on the time during the COVID-19 lockdown, Nikhil spoke about a breakup he went through while living with his brother. “We both were in one house together and we had broken up at that point of time. So Nithin's advice to me: I'm like going through a breakup, we're like getting reasonably intoxicated every night for 2 months,” Nikhil said.
