My First Podcast on Indicast

I had a great time last Sunday recording my first podcast with Aditya Mhatre, Aditya Mishra, VeerChand Bothra (tweet) on why startups need workaholics and why mobile will drive web 2.0 usage in India (tweet).

All three of them have extremely rich backgrounds, resulting in an extremely vibrant discussion —

- Aditya Mhatre is India’s leading podcaster at Indicast (Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).

- VeerChand Bothra is at the center of India’s mobile boom, as MobilePundit, as organizer of Mumbai Mobile Mondays and as VP at NetCore Solutions (Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).

- Aditya Mishra is deeply involved in the startup ecosystem in India through his work (he has the fancy title of Entrepreneur-in-Residence at TCS) and his role as the organizer of BarCamp and Kickstart (Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).

The New Interview Etiquette

What do you do when a journalist asks you for an interview?

Well, if you are an A-list blogger, you insist that you’ll do the interview only by e-mail (Jason Calacanis) or offer to blog about the topic and let the journalist quote from the post (Dave Winer).

Now, I’m not a A-lister yet, so I just do half a dozen little jumps around the room every time a journalist asks me for an interview. When I do become an A-lister… ;-)
