With millions of active monthly users, this app has become a part of most people’s daily life. Today the man behind this brilliant app himself will share his story.
In this episode, he shared about his early days, and how he is so confident and comfortable in himself. He then shared how he got into IIT Delhi and the different startup ideas that he had in mind before building Inshorts. We also talked about the story of how he built Inshorts from scratch, the time when he got funding, and the journey after that of making the app profitable. We also talked about how Inshorts is earning money, and how much they charge for different ads. He also shared about different metrics by which the growth of inshorts is calculated and his other startup Public.
Later, we talked about his experience being on Shark Tank as a Shark. He then shared about his favorite sharks, his memories from the show and how the show works.

Why is it the first time that "someone" inspired you??
Raj and his podcast is so genuine. Unlike TRS, there is no unnecessary judgement or cuss words for the sake of sounding cool. Raj looks genuinely curious. Bring Deepinder here please❤

A.guy from indore interviewing an entrepreneur from Kishanganj this is 🇮🇳
Bro came from a very rural and undeveloped place and make his position in this startup ecosystem. Big love and respect to Azhar Bhai❤️
Azhar Bhai ki smile to Kamal ki h
Azhar bhai I respect you for the company you built ... Being a owner of a real estate company, I absolutely don't support the loss making startups like paytm,Zepto ... Not the innovative startups who need a time to establish a market in India !

Investors are not stupid Many investors believes to invest on growth rather than profitability Zomato swiggy zepto and many big startups are making loss but Still you will see in news that they rais billions of dollars of funding
I like this guys , very genuine humble and down to eath . God bless him
Proud that he's from bihar ,not being provided with any facilities we know how to hard work and equally or may be higher standing with other people

What a Podcast,deep questions and well researched.Thankyou Raj and team.Looking forward for more episodes.
Jiy-a ho bihar ke lala❤
This guy is a gem. The fact that he came from Hindi medium, and still doesn't shy away to proclaim that that's his choice of communication, not only speaks high of him, this will give courage to many more Iqbals who are mired with similar conundrums in life. He alone can inspire a generation of entrepreneurs from villages to tier-3 towns. More powers to him.
Oh i just love this man.. i am just watching Shark Tank s3 just because of him.. Soo down to earth
His simplicity and genuineness is remarkable!!! I really wish him all the best for his future startups . Thank you for making these kind of content which makes each of us learn something and grow better!!
Maza aagaya yrrr ... He had a different but a positive perspective of very situation or circumstance thrown towards him. Great podcast
Sab ko yhi lgta tha. Ki Bihar se to sirf IAS, IPS officer hi bnte he. Pr Ab Bihar se Startup owner bhi ban rhe he. Salute he Bhai Apko. ♥️🌹👏🫡🫡
He is so sweet. No attitude and fakeness. He has a very very adorable smile and personality❤I just love him.
5:42 Heey bhai mai bi same school and college for kishanganj bahadurganj ❤
Love the content! Great questions!
इससे पहले मैनें कई सारे पॉडकास्ट देखे पर इससे बहुत कुछ नया जानने और सिखने और समझने को मिला राज सर को धन्यवाद ❤❤❤
Last me 100% correct bola. I have learnt a lot from your podcast and you. Thank you Raj Brother 😊
This episode was very refreshing. What a simple a beautiful way to look at things in life.
I liked the last question. I can relate to that as well. I came to Bombay 2 years ago from Nagpur and received a job offer from one of the reputed companies based in Lower Parel. Coming to Bombay for the first time, I also felt a little underconfident, but I suggest to other people who want to grow fast in life to come to Bombay with a positive attitude. Lastly, Raj Shamani, I enjoy all the podcasts, and every weekend I've made it a routine to listen to them.
Thank you Azhar bhai for making our Kishanganj district proud ❤
Azhar bhai ke baaton mai hi jadoo hai 🌟 Raj deserves every bit of appreciation for his deep insight questions❤
Bohat positive banda hai Azhar
Pls bring him again :) most genuine guy . Completely unhinged .

I also noticed this in his many podcast . It doesn't look good.
Sir no doubt your business content is better than many other content creators but can you ask your guests what their daily tasks included then vs now and how did they gained business knowledge.
love your podcast brother , it really helps me every week.... I don't miss any of your podcasts. also a humble request please invite a ethical hacker or cyber security expert in your podcast , I really need a podcast like this
25:25 what a great explanation
Loved the podcast and impressed by Azhar's simplicity and eloquence :) Respect!
Outstanding lesson sir....❤❤❤❤
He is a devine spirit,we people feel happy.just appreciate your presence because we heard many people speak about him but not his real family.😡 I want answers.i love him until my death.i can relate me to him.my age is 50 years.i know all good and bad things of life.
