Made it to the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 2022 list.
Thank you to everyone that supported us throughout this journey!
One of the most emotional moments of my life ⬇️
Everything that I am today is because of God & Virat Kohli 🙏🏻
God because he paved the way for me.
Kohli because he showed me how to walk the difficult walk along the path that God gave me.
The day Kohli is on the show, I will probably stop the English version of the show.
A dream came true last night.
Waited all these years just to go up to my captain and say - Thank you for all the lessons 🙏🏻
Hopefully, we'll have both these legends on
#TheRanveerShow
soon.
God is great 🙏🏻
Your looks will carry you till you’re about 45.
Your jokes will carry you till you’re about 65.
Your mind will carry you till you’re about 85.
Your kindness and generosity will carry you beyond your own death.
As an Engineering graduate, I know how stressful JEE can get for the students. I would urge the Govt. to look into postponing the NEET & JEE exams especially when we have evidence of the virus spreading due to reopening of colleges in other countries.
Everyone around me is becoming more religious as they grow older.
Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, it doesn't matter!
Eventually people realise that peace is in the higher power.
I pray that we all become more secular as well.
If you’re overthinking about your life/career at 18 or 22...
Your problem isn’t the overthinking.
It’s the lack of action that’s allowing the overthinking.
Get to work.
Actions tire an over active mind.
Keep working, keep learning, keep calm.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s mind, discipline & determination were the most important subjects I studied in my life.
One day I will meet him and thank him for it all…
What people think intimacy is :
- Kissing
- Hugging
- Hand holding
- Sex
What intimacy really is :
- Being 100% honest, loyal and trustworthy.
- Being yourself with them.
- Showing them your vulnerable or insecure side.
- Conversations that are as deep as your mind can be deep.
Call me new school but getting married later (after the age of 31-32) seems to be the most logical thing to do in today's era.
Divorces, infidelity, incompatibility, rushed relationships all around me!
And here I am.
Dating.
Self introspecting.
Growing up ❤️🩹
Thoughts?
It takes a world class mentality to become a world class athlete.
An iconic day for the excited cricket fan inside me… Got to podcast with Mr.IPL himself -
@ImRaina
Incredible attitude, incredible toughness.

Most people undervalue themselves by thinking :
- I'm too fat/short/ugly
- I'm not smart
- I'm not successful
People underestimate the power of simply being confident.
Remember, people perceive you as you perceive yourself.
Self respect is VERY attractive.
Love yourself 1st
Biology is chemistry is physics is mathematics.
Everything, EVER... is mathematics.
Because whether you like it or not - Mathematics is the language of the universe.
Telling people to turn vegetarian, by guilt tripping them is just as bad as telling vegetarians to eat meat by force.
Vegetarians perceive non-veg as dead animals.
Non vegetarians perceive it as food.
Food shaming is wrong, no matter what the context.
Live and let live.
I’m ecstatic, emotional and humbled today…
My team and I created the podcast because :
1. I wanted to give up on content creation in June 2019.
2. We wanted to spread HEALING through our work…
Never thought we’d become India’s first team to create a Spotify Exclusive show ❤️
YouTuber found publicly humiliating himself in Goa.
What began as a relaxation trip has now unleashed his dank memer personality.
Bro i am dankest of dank memers bro
Other than the camera, the iPhone has NOTHING over a top quality Android phone.
Switched between both over the years. Every time I switch back to the androids, I breathe a sigh of relief.
But status games are status games… great branding, Apple.
200k Twitter followers are worth more than 2 million followers on other platforms.
The changers of society spend screen time here, more than anywhere else.
Btw, thanks for 200k 😉
The rise of Instagram reels & YouTube shorts will surely reduce the attention spans of an entire generation.
If you don’t believe me, use them daily for a month or so.
Notice how you feel after.
Makes me a little uncertain about the future of long form content like podcasts.
The calmer you become, the more you observe and retain.
Therefore, the calmer you become, the more you grow.
Sleep well.
Meditate.
And easiest of them all - Perform breathing exercises (Pranayama).
History was never a boring subject in school.
Your history teacher may have been a poor storyteller.
Your textbooks may have been written by boring people.
But history is by far the most exciting subject of them all.
GOOD STORYTELLING can be a POWERFUL teacher if used right.
Mathematics is underrated.
It is the basis of :
- Business
- Finance
- Engineering
- Coding
- Data analysis
- Even many creative jobs (music, design, editing)
What does Math do to the mind?
- Improves speed.
- Improves pattern recognition ability.
- Helps build imagination.
If you're celebrating
#PUBG
being saved as a personal victory, you're :
- A teenager.
- Not fulfilling your potential in life.
A video game shouldn't be the centre of your world if you're a grown adult.
Life is the true video game.
And others are racing ahead of you, my friend.
The most clichéd, overused, boring, but apt motivational phrase :
"Work in silence, let your success make the noise."
There's a reason it's a cliche : It's the greatest and most appropriate career truth.
The most underrated aspect of Indian life is that we get to stay with our parents as adults...
Tough days always seem to get easier after a hug from my mom.
Mental health armour 🤗
My 5 most motivational Bollywood songs ever :

4. Allah Ke Bande - Waisa Bhi Hota Hai
3. Kholo Kholo - Taare Zameen Par
2. Lakshya Title Track
1. Kun Faya Kun - Rockstar
What's your 5?
There's college kids that only wanna get laid or get high.
There's college kids that only wanna get purpose or get professional exposure.
Guess which group becomes the millionaires of the world.
This year my resolution is to take a step back from work.
Been 8 years of an intense grind.
Now it's time to live a little bit.
My team has also reached a level of maturity where they don't need the captain to set an example all the time.
Going to breathe a little in 2023!
Figuring how to move to Goa in 2 years.
Convince me about how it’s a wrong decision.
My reasons :
- Air quality
- Peace (vibe)
- Work life balance
- Larger spaces for similar rent
- Better recreation spots (beaches, nature)
- Lesser traffic
- (apparently) good wifi in parts
Indian college students are taught by their parents :
- Aim for a job.
- Aim for a fat pay package.
- Aim for stability in life.
But the need of the hour is for parents to teach them :
- Aim to create jobs for others
- Aim to work on skills outside of studies
- Aim for GREATNESS
It is okay to feel heartbroken.
It is okay to feel sad.
It is okay to feel like a failure.
It is okay to feel lazy.
It is not okay to remain there forever. Eventually, get the ball rolling again.
May the nature of life knock you down, but never knock you out.
When an Indian says : "I'm spiritual, not religious"
- It's an outcome of subconsciously copying what's "cool" to say in America.
- It's an outcome of misunderstanding the Indian outlook on "religion" (We don't follow a "religion". We study multiple philosophies and are then…
