From selling recharge coupons in Mumbai to building a ₹40,000 crore brand — Madhav Sheth shares the real story behind Realme and India’s tech revolution.

In this explosive episode, we discuss:

• Why India has no global electronics brand
• How China built $500B export ecosystems
• The future of zero-labour robotic factories
• Why marketing budgets are overrated
• How Realme disrupted offline retail
• “Network is your net worth”
• Why failure is more important than success
• AI controlling decisions & consumer behaviour
• Why luxury is just pricing psychology
• Why he still flies economy despite massive success

This is a raw, unfiltered masterclass on entrepreneurship, consumer psychology, AI, and India’s manufacturing future.

Kaneez Surka is back in India and within minutes this episode turns into absolute Cock & Bull chaos.

We start with her “Foreign Returns” tour and somehow end up debating marriage, men being “too much work,” NRIs with identity confusion, and whether Vikhroli was secretly named after Virat Kohli. (It wasn’t. We think.)

Somewhere in between, we spiral into:
– A doctor scoring 9/800 and still getting a PG seat
– Social media bans for kids under 16
– Identical twins with identical JEE scores
– A ₹1 lakh luxury shirt that looks iron-burnt
– A student trying to pass exams with a ₹100 bribe
– And an AI expo controversy that raised more questions than answers

It’s loud, it’s messy, it’s wildly opinionated and very classic Cock & Bull.

If you enjoy conversations that start in South Bombay and somehow end in Vikhroli (via Bill Gates), this one’s for you.
