Fixed deposits barely beat inflation. So where should Indian investors put their money?Most Indians think bonds are either boring instruments for preserving wealth or risky investments meant for institutions. But what if bonds could offer 9–12% returns while also helping businesses raise money without diluting their ownership?In this episode, we sit down with Girish Lakhotiya, Founder of Prachay Capital, to understand why India's bond market could be one of its most underrated financial opportunities.From understanding how to identify a safe bond using the CAMEL framework to discovering how Prachay Capital invests alongside its customers, Girish breaks down how bond investing actually works, what happens when companies default, and how businesses can use bonds as an alternative to traditional bank loans and venture capital.In this episode, you'll discover:1. Why earning 6% from an FD could actually mean losing money after taxes and inflation.2. The CAMEL framework that helps you identify risky companies before investing in their bonds.3. Why a Triple-B rated bond isn't necessarily a junk investment.4. How Prachay Capital invests 15–20% of its own money alongside retail investors.5. How founders can raise capital through bonds without giving away equity or relying entirely on banks.If you're an investor looking beyond equity markets, or a founder looking for smarter ways to raise capital, this episode could completely change how you look at India's bond market.Chapters - 00:00 - Is There Something Between Risky Stocks and a Boring FD?02:33 - Why Expecting 20% From the Stock Market Is a Mistake05:12 - Why 9 Out of 10 Fund Managers Can't Beat the Market06:54 - Is Your 6% FD Actually Making You Poorer?07:58 - The Diversification Rule Most Investors Get Wrong11:07 - Shares or Bonds: Choose the Best Asset Class17:23 - Can a Bond Really Match the Stock Market?18:33- The Hidden Catch in AAA-Rated Bonds26:56 - The Bonds Banks Trust but Investors Call Junk29:12 - Why Companies Refuse to Sell Bonds Directly to You31:35 -Who's Really Selling You That Bond?34:16 - Company Goes Bust.

How to SELL ANYTHING to ANYONE? | The Cold Calling Masterclass | Saad Khaja
What if the fastest way to get a job, validate a business idea, or reach a billion-dollar company is simply picking up the phone?Most people think cold calling is spam. Saad argues it can be one of the most powerful business skills you can have because, with the right approach, you can reach people who would otherwise be almost impossible to access.In this episode, we sit down with Saad, a salesman and sales trainer who has spent over a decade studying how people buy, to break down the psychology, strategy, and mechanics behind high-level sales and cold calling.You'll discover:• Why a $20,000 cold-calling exercise saved a company nearly $500,000 by proving its business idea was wrong before it invested heavily.• Why cold calling may be the fastest way to get a job, including how Saad got a job offer after just his third cold call.• The 30-second rule that determines whether a cold call survives, and why most salespeople lose before they even start pitching.• The "Old Friend" opening that makes strangers ask YOU who you are instead of immediately hanging up.• Why the person asking questions controls the conversation, and how salespeople use questions to move prospects toward a decision.• The "Value Delta" that makes selling dramatically easier, and why the best salespeople aren't really taking money from customers.• The four pillars of tonality, and how changing them can completely change how a prospect feels.• How to handle "too expensive" and "we don't have the budget" objections by discovering what the objection actually means.• The BANT framework, Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline, that separates genuine prospects from people who are merely interested.• Why saying "When do you want to get on a call?" is a mistake, and the tiny change that makes it easier for prospects to actually commit.If you've ever wondered how the best salespeople make strangers listen, uncover what customers actually want, and turn a cold call into a business opportunity, this episode is for you.Watch the full episode and learn how to master the art of cold calling, sales, customer research, and persuasion.

The negotiation trick that works when someone is ghosting you: 6. Why you should stop trying to make people say YES7. How Chris Voss spots different types of liars, and accommodating personalities tend to behave under pressure.8.
