Raw Talks With Vamshi Kurapati - Telugu Business Podcast

7 industries. 7 real problems. 1 table.
In this episode of Raw Talks VK, Pranavi Gupta, Vaibhav Sisinty, and Dileep Karri didn't just host a podcast — they ran a live boardroom. The guests? An actor, a songwriter, a marketing agency owner, a clothing brand founder, a restaurant owner, a psychiatrist, and a construction magnate. No scripts, no rehearsed answers  just the friction points keeping each of them up at night.
This podcast has questions, bottlenecks, and a healthy dose of skepticism. What followed was a raw, unfiltered conversation about what AI actually looks like when it hits the real world: not the whiteboard version, but the messy, operational, does-this-actually-work version.
This is what happens when a boardroom goes unplugged.

What does it take to lead men into battle, stare fear in the face, and still come back stronger? VK sits down with Lieutenant General Arun Sir - one of India's most decorated military leaders - for the most powerful, raw, and honest conversation we've ever had.
From the legendary parachute operations of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw to the real reason terrorism exists, this episode covers it all. Lt. Gen. Arun Sir breaks down what true leadership looks like, what happens inside a soldier's mind during a live operation, and why restraint is more powerful than firepower.
In this episode, we talk about: Sam Manekshaw's leadership lessons and the parachute operation story that changed how India thinks about fearless command. What happens when a soldier wants to give up - and why there is no limit to human endurance. The untold story of Zamindarkhan, a soldier who became a legend not because of rank, but because of who he was. The real face of terrorism - where it starts, why ordinary people turn into terrorists, and what soldiers face when they can't tell a civilian from an enemy. What actually happens after an operation - the debriefing, the silence, and the weight soldiers carry home. The dark truth behind 983 Indian Army suicides between 2014 and 2024, and what no one is talking about. The Agniveer debate - straight talk from a man who spent decades in uniform. India vs Pakistan vs China - which is the real threat, and where does India stand in a world on the edge of war? The AK47, the SLR, bullet calibers, and why the best weapon is the one you understand. Army superstitions, traditions, and the bizarre foods soldiers eat in the field. The Grenadiers Regiment, Abdul Hameed, and India's greatest acts of bravery. Was Operation Sindoor a success? And did social media make it worse? Lt. Gen. Arun Sir's advice to young army aspirants and every young person chasing something worth fighting for.

This is not just a podcast about the army. This is a masterclass in courage, discipline, and what it means to be truly human.

Adivi Sesh pulls up a chair with VK for one of the most candid and unfiltered podcast conversations about his journey, his craft, and the making of some of Telugu cinema's most iconic films.
Sesh and VK dig into his new action thriller Dacoit starring Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap — what it took to shoot the film simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, and how he blended a Telugu soul with sharp, American-style editing. Sesh also takes us behind the scenes of Kshanam, reflects on working with SS Rajamouli on Baahubali, and opens up about the highly anticipated Goodachari 2 (G2).
From growing up in California to carving his own space in Tollywood, Sesh gets raw and real about filmmaking on shoestring budgets, using personal favors to get films made, the revenue model of Indian cinema, and the sheer madness of editing films on set while still shooting.
They also get into the power of silence in storytelling, the big debate on whether acting is a natural talent or a learned skill, and Sesh's thoughts on fame, animal rights, and why art is not a race.

Whether you're an aspiring actor, filmmaker, Telugu cinema fan, or someone who loves honest conversations about the creative life — this one's for you.
