How Ranveer Allahbadia Built His Youtube Empire? | By Internet Moguls

I'm Ranveer alawadhya, just a 26 year old who's striving for greatness through the medium of social media. Spreading positivity one post at a time, one video at a time, one tweet at a time. I honestly had a super nice life growing up. Grew up in a family of doctors. The struggle began when I was 16 when they expected me to become a doctor. But I grew up listening to conversations about gynecology and medicine. Understand really well, have clarity about what you want to do. And the second, second kind of mode should be rampant execution. A lot of people make this mistake of only living in that first mode of spending all the time understanding and analyzing. Get strong mentorship. That's pretty much what I did. I'm also an engineering grad. Health has always been a priority. I want to thank the 19 year old version of myself who made health a priority. I used to drink a lot. If you're, if you want to get into digital marketing and you're still a college student, I'd highly recommend doing internships. That's where you really get your hands dirty. That's where you really learn again. I do believe that any kind of skill and this is what I learned from my first job.

I mean, yeah, I mean that would be better actually.

Okay. Is this better?

Much better. Much better.

How's it going?

It's going as exciting as it can be.

Beautiful. What's up?

Lots is up. Thank you for taking the time out firstly and I'll just give you a brief background. I already spoke to your friends and colleagues so I think they shared some bit of it. But right now I'm at. I'm 43 years old and I find myself in a very interesting junction where I made a lot of mistakes in the past and I'm ready to make many new mistakes in the future. But I don't, I plan on many of the mistakes. You know, choosing the right people, understanding myself first before judging other people how to build a new company now so. But I realized one thing that while I'm still as ambitious about the future and has happy about the future, I now have two girls who are now 14, 14 and 10. Two years back they were 12 and nine and I was like my business is growing but somewhere my girls are getting neglected and I can't do that. So every. So my, my wife and kids live in Vancouver, Canada. I'm in Delhi. I go back and forth like 10,000 like people go to Bombay, I go to Canada and so not all to Canada. But that's how crazy it's been. So I said, include everybody in my journey. So my wife and I decided every time that the girls go to sleep, I'll put them to bed. So I was telling them bedtime stories and they would go to sleep in five minutes. My wife said, you know, it's a good job. I was like, it's not a good job if I'm telling them a story and they're sleeping in five minutes. Means that the story is very boring. All of us marketers and storytellers, we understand that the story has to be interesting if it's about you, not about the other person. So I reversed it. My elder daughter is called Raya. My younger one is called Aviana. And so we just clubbed both the names together and we formed a company called Raviana. And business should be. Business should be around your passion. So passion was around chocolates. So we made a fictitious company. It doesn't exist. It just existed in our heads. We called it Raviana Chocolates. Every day, the founders, Raya and Aviana, they go to their chocolate factory. Whatever problems they have, their daily rituals, how they run the factory, and then once a week they call their mentor who's their dad.

Nice.

This became the everyday story. It became so interesting. Our friends, our neighbors, everybody said, it's a great idea. So we said, great. So we just, we put it into a comic book series and we called it Bedtime Stories for Tomorrow's Entrepreneurs. And the idea took off so well that Raya and Abhiana got invited to various schools in Canada to speak at stages and events. So automatically they started doing what I'm doing. Speaking on stage, writing a book, signing autographs, making sure some people came back and said that I don't like the book. You send it again, send me a refund. So they started doing business and they made a huge amount of $550 in profit, which they thought is going to change their lives and everything. Concept number one. So we're very proud of it. We did it together. Our second concept, for which we are very grateful to have you, is the Internet moguls of the world. Now what we are doing is that Raya and Abhiana and I, we're traveling to different parts of the world, meeting people, you know, and making connections, finding people on Zoom and everything, and saying that this is going to be a coffee table. Stories we need. It's going to be a coffee table book of 50 of the top Internet moguls of the world. So like I said, Last week, I spoke to Arianna Huffington. She was kind enough to support us, and she gave us. She said, you can publish your stories on my platform. She got me introduced to her secretary, all of that. We spoke to Grant Cardone. He gave us everything that we asked for. Two weeks back, I was at Gary Vaynerchuk's office, and we were meeting his team and all. So we got support from. I mean, I send you the list of the people, some amazing. So. But we want to go after people who we all three of us really like. These are cool people. They're having fun, and they're good people. Like, what we loved about you was every time that you bring in your mom, we became your fans.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. That's my secret weapon. I think you got a hold of what my secret weapon is.

You know what? Like, people talk, your impact, how at such an early age, you've got so many followers, people, all that is great. I love that. And, you know, I think it's a continuous journey. You talk about your weight, how you got over your weight problem, all of those books, but when you brought your mom in, we were like, we have to send him an email. We have to get.

I'm glad.

In fact, just. Just between us, you know, we've also written to Barack Obama and we're reaching out to the Elon Musk, and I promise you, we're going to get all of these people in, because, you know, like I said, I'm at this age that I'm not scared of losing, and my kids are at this age that they're not scared of losing. So it's a dynamite team. 43 and 14 and 10, by the way. It's a proper company, and we are equal partners in the company. Beautiful. And we make decisions together. It's not that I can tell that you're a kid. You don't know what's happening. So teaching them entrepreneurship, hopefully the next five, six years before they go into university, this will be the Daddy Daughter venture. It will all work well together. Beautiful. So that is our story. And we're going to make it a book, we're going to make it a podcast, we're going to make it a training series. And because all the 50 people who we have are all humongous, humongous influencers, they're all going to support us to sort of promote everything. So I just want my girls to say, by the time, I don't know, after 18, they might go to university. And, you know, sometimes because they're abroad, after that you never come back home and you travel around the world. So. But till they are with me, I want them to say that we learned enough from our dad so that I always don't have that guilt in my head that, you know, I didn't teach them enough. I spent time with them and there's an entrepreneur venture and sometimes we also say maybe the Internet moments of the world become such a big venture that we continue it forever and we'll always be connected wherever we are. So it's a personal, very, very personal mission of mine to feel less guilty about spending less time with my family and make it a venture like so I wanted to tell you the background story of, you know, why we requested you for your time. So I'm really, really, really happy that I know you're busy and now you're running a great agency. I spoke to your partner and you know, I see you and I think the lady CEO you have and a girl who's working with you. I follow all of you people and I think and I know how busy it can be with all of the stuff that you're doing. So I really appreciate you taking the time out. Thank you very much.

An honor to be speaking to you.

Not at all, not at all. Thank you very much. So Ranveer, I'll now jump right into the questions. You know I always give my hero introduction as I always feel that people have very little time. They're always in their minds. Yoga or meditation. I need to grab people's attentions right away. So I normally, whenever I meet somebody, my business card, my website, everything has. My name is Avi Arya, father of two girls, six dogs, husband to a superwoman, a streetcar racer turned hotelier, now social media marketer and founder of Internet moguls. So that's how I give my introduction. I've started a million times. If you were to be your hero introduction, how would you introduce yourself?

I'm Ranveer alawadhya, just a 26 year old who's striving for greatness through the medium of social media. Spreading positivity one post at a time, one video at a time, one tweet at a time.

I think my question paper was leaked. You got the question beforehand.

So it's my job, it's my job to be spontaneous. That's what you got to do when you're a YouTuber.

That was awesome. That was really spot on. Awesome. So Ranit, tell us a little bit about your story, your family, your background, you know, challenges while growing up, all.

Of That I honestly had a super nice life growing up. Grew up in a family of doctors. The struggle began when I was 16 when they expected me to become a doctor. But I grew up listening to conversations about gynecology and medicine. So I didn't want to join that world. Instead, I wanted to do something on my own. I didn't know what it was, so my mom suggested that I do engineering. Went to engineering college. Didn't really enjoy it. Instead I got a fitness certification done while I was in engineering college. Right after college I tried launching a fitness startup. We were designing an app. Now some one of the potential investors for the we have said that to market this you should use social media. So I thought, wait, let me just try a YouTube channel. Because I personally watch a lot of American Fitness YouTube channels, so why not do it for Indians? Once I started doing it, it really took off. And then I figured that hold on, this is a startup in itself. So let's just continue, let's keep scaling it up. One thing led to another. Eventually we started doing fashion content, grooming content. Eventually I figured that in this country in order to make Money off of YouTube, you need brand deals to be done. For brand deals to be done, you need, you need some kind of management. Went to one of my juniors in engineering college. Told him, hey man, manage me your Gujarati. You'll know your negotiation well. You know money well, help me out. He did a Great job. My YouTube friends saw this happening. They requested that we help them as well. That led to us forming a talent management company. We did a good job with them. Because of the talent management company, we got access to a lot of brands. We realized that the brands don't really know what they're doing with their influencer marketing or the digital marketing in general. And then we figured that, wait, we should also be helping them. Eventually we started doing influencer marketing. Then that led to us starting social media as a vertical. Then that led to starting PR as another vertical. Then all of that left us starting music as another vertical in Monk Entertainment. So as of now, I'm the co founder of Monk Entertainment with Virat Sheth. But I am not an active co founder. I am focusing on my YouTube channel. That's where it all began. YouTube is scaling up. I also focus a lot on other social media platforms. So I'm trying to scale up my Twitter, LinkedIn, a little bit of TikTok, obviously Instagram. So just enjoying my life, really enjoying every day, wake up every day super happy. Can't believe that this is a Reality. But yeah, it's a good life. No complaints.

So from this first section of the interview you shared about your story, you said things kept coming to you and you kept doing things spontaneously. So what is your one message to all the entrepreneurs of all ages listening to this section of your life?

There should be only two modes in your life. The first mode should be understand really well, have clarity about what you want to do. And the second kind of mode should be rampant execution. A lot of people make this mistake of only living in that first mode mode of spending all the time understanding and analyzing. But I feel that that should only be half your time. When you study and you get clarity about things, you get a better skill set. You work on yourself. But the rest of the time, the other 50% of the time, should be all about execution.

That is such a strong point. I've never heard this in any of my videos. That execution, rapid execution, as well as, you know, analyzing what you want to do. Don't get paralyzed in anyone's.

Exactly.

Awesome. Great. So awesome hero introduction. Awesome story. Now for, you know, all the Internet moguls who are wanting to be Internet moguls because, see, our definition, between me and my co founders, Raya and Aviana, our definition of an Internet mogul is somebody who leverages the Internet to reach out to a lot of people to do whatever they want, make money, make impact, make everything. But at the same time, use the time that you have now because the Internet gives you more time and you can do it remotely. You know, you don't need to travel and you can do everything on video. Use that time to give it to your family. That is our definition of an Internet. So what is your definition of an Internet?

Honestly, that I've always had a great relationship with my mom, so I do feel that she's a driving factor in my own career. Grew up watching a lot of sports documentaries, a lot of documentaries about boxers. And they'd always be like, you know, I'm doing it so that my mama don't have to work for a single day for the rest of her life. So I think that's the kind of driving force in my life as well. I ensure that I give her time, spend time with her, no matter what my schedule is like, no matter, you know, what kind of phase is going on in my life. It's my best form of leisure, just talking to her, getting her perspective. I do feel that a lot of the content I put out comes directly from her mind. It's things I've heard growing up. It's what I've been taught growing up. We run a podcast now ourselves and people really enjoy the spiritual aspects and the ethics aspects of that podcast. All that straight from her. So she's my content bank in a way. So I'm still working every time I hang out with her. Also, I'm like, you know, really getting recharged. So that's my definition of being an Internet mogul.

So awesome. That's such a beautiful. You know, I'm 43 years old. I speak to my. My first meeting in the morning with my dad, who always tells me, last night your webinar did not have enough. Okay, so great story. Like I said, my first meeting is always with my parents in the morning. My dad critically analyzes everything that I do and I feel very happy that there is somebody who cares about me and knows me. I can't. I always tell people that you fool mentors sometime because they don't know much about you or till they know about you, you can't fool mentors. Always stay close to the router. So, you know, love that story of how your mom is almost like your co founder. She's the content bank. I'm. This is going to be the hashtag of this episode content. Very great stuff. We mentioned how our Internet mogul starts a hero introduction. We mentioned your story. We spoke about your mom as well. You know, the next question I wanted to ask was Ranbir, I'm sure, especially for you, you know, I'm sure you're easily one of India's top 50 digital icons or top 10 nowadays. A lot of youth today, they want to get into social media and they say, you know what? I'll get selfies. People will approach me, I'll become a celebrity. And that is why they want to become an Internet mobile or Internet giant. What is your message to these people who want to get in? Because you get that fame and recognition, Is that okay? How much is okay? All of that?

Yeah. I don't think there's any harm in wanting fame in life, but you should know that it comes at some kind of a cost. Now, whether that cost is negative, like say, getting paid for the wrong reasons, or it can also be positive, which is put value out there for the world. And that kind of fame is much sweeter. It's much longer, it's much more. It's got much more depth. So I just feel that just focus on putting out value into the world. Especially if you're in this country. We're going through an Internet boom, put Out a lot of regional content, talk in Hindi, talk in the local languages. Your life has potential to change within a year.

I love that because you we do see. So, you know, in my, to my. Almost every second day I have one person who comes in for a meeting and hello, whatever. TikTok750 YouTube. So it's amazing how people like this is a guy whose father sells, is a mechanic and he's got some hundred thousand plus followers. And I said, how did you get it? He said, so you have so many people whose lives are changing. So this leads me to my next question. When people start getting to that level of success, followers are coming and all of that. What should be their next step? I mean, what would be their monetization journeys after that?

Get strong. Mentorship. That's pretty much what I did. I'm also an engineering grad. When I needed to learn video, I got mentorship on video. I found video professionals to teach me about lighting. All that at every stage. Today I'm trying to say, if I'm trying to launch a clothing line, I will go and get mentors from the fashion industry. So whatever you're trying to do, the path is usually chopped out by your mentors. That's just what I feel.

So you're saying that instead of wasting time in trying to figure something out, get somebody who knows how to. So this is a brilliant segue into the next question. How should somebody who is watching this interview find their mentor? Or what do you look for in a mentor?

I do feel that don't waste your time searching. One way of getting mentorship is listening to podcasts. So get into podcasts. That's basically mentorship. You just need to find the right kind of podcast for yourself. The second aspect of it is as simple as just asking your parents about their social circles. If they know someone you know in the digital field, in whatever field you're trying to grow in. Because we're Indians, we live with our families. There's a deep family culture. Parents always want to help their kids. Most social influencers are young, so they're trying to figure out life in the first place. Place. Utilize your parents network. Utilize your friends parents network. There is a theory called the six degrees of separation, which says that you name any human being in the world, it can be a Sachin Tendulkar, Lebron James, Brad Pitt, Tom Cru, Shah Rukh Khan. They're just a maximum of six people away from you. As in, you'll know someone who knows someone who knows someone who will know Shah Rukh Khan. So no one is too far away from you. Just try reaching out.

That's how we got in touch with you. Awesome, awesome. So become an Internet mogul to become somebody successful to do leverage the Internet. Lot of work, lot of nuances, lot of producing content, lot of going for different meetings, a lot of offline events. You do and you get your following from there and then it comes to Instagram and then vice versa. How do you take care of your health in that whole madness?

Health has always been a priority. I want to thank the 19 year old version of myself who made health a priority then. And it's just become one of those habits that I prioritize no matter what. I've been lifting weights for so long, I've been eating right for so long that if I have one week without going to the gym, it does affect my mood. You know, I don't feel, I feel a little bit incomplete. So it kind of has to be that hardwired. That's my only kind of, you know, advice for the world.

Awesome. So when it comes to, I, I think one of your YouTube, when I was, we were doing research before this interview, I think one of the podcasts we saw where you said that you, you don't drink.

Yeah.

So you give up.

Yeah, I used to drink a lot. I'm Punjabi. So, like, you know, I think my dad has a joke. When I was, yes. When I was a, when I was an infant, the first thing he gave me was a drop of champagne. Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, it's like I've had that kind of influence of alcohol in my life. But, you know, I think once you discover the spiritual path, okay, this is going to become deep. But once you discover the spiritual path, you go beyond the realm of physical pleasures. You start feeling mental pleasures, you start feeling spiritual pleasures. And then if you try going back to your physical pleasures, like alcohol or weed for that matter, you do feel a lack of magnitude in that spiritual pleasure world, in that mental pleasure world. So then you kind of just. Your body automatically just rejects the physical pleasures. That's why I think I just chased meditation the same way I chased YouTube growth or the way I chased physical fitness in the gym. One thing led to another.

That is just. So that is what inspired me about you.

Thank you, sir.

I was like, he's so young. I used to love to drink. I used to love all of this. I gave it, you know, I gave it up very recently at your age, when everybody is like, you know, work hard, party harder, and I'm like, you're working hard and going two steps forward and party harder, three steps. But I was like, people want to do everything, but here's a Youngster in his 20s. You're 24, 25.

I just turned 26.

So at 26, you're already saying that I get more pleasure out of meditation and all of those. So you're not saying I don't want pleasure, but you found a pleasure which is on a higher plane. Then this is amazing. So did you have to. Is it okay? And did you have to let go of many friends because they are still in that circle? How did your life change after you made decisions?

I do believe that any friendship that's based on external intoxicants is not a real friendship. If it's one of those friendships that gets deleted the moment you delete that intoxicant, that means it was just based on that intoxication and it's not worth worth having. The true friends always stay for life. So they like my childhood friends who still drink, who still, you know, smoke marijuana, all that. They don't care. They're like, okay, he's still the same guy, so it doesn't matter.

And what changes did you feel in your body and in your mind after you gave up all this?

So once, obviously the pleasures like, I mean, the kind of sleep you get is very intense. If you've seen this movie called Inception, there's this concept of a dream within a dream that tends to happen to me a lot. So I'll usually be dreaming of something where I go to sleep in the dream. Like within the dream, I go to sleep again. And when I actually wake up in real life, I slept. I feel like I've slept for double the amount of time that I've actually slept for. So my sleep quota has reduced a lot. You know, just you. You feel a lot calmer, you much more in control of your emotions, your brain works much faster. So you're able to solve a lot of daily problems really easily. And also the kind of position I'm in, there's like so many businesses that we're trying to run. And I mean, not trying, but we're running. And somewhere, both me and my co founder Virat Sheet, a lot of the kids look up to us. So we know, we understand that position of power, whatever you want to call it, and we want to set the right example for them. Also, there's two people who I study inside out. Their names are Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James. I'm going to put a third one there called Virat Kohli. And the common factor is that all of them are considered the greatest in their sports, cricket, basketball, football. Another common factor is that they speak a lot about sacrifice and they speak about a lot about if you want to reach that number one position, if you want to be remembered as a great. It requires you to live your life differently from the rest of the pack. So I think I, I grew up getting a lot of data from these three individuals. Like I was studying them inside out. I still do. I know where I want to take my own career and where I want to take my own life. So if it requires me to cut off a few things, that's okay. I'm only going to be in my 20s once. I'm only going to have these kind of energy levels once in my life. I mean, I think it's going to be like this. I don't know, I don't have perspective of being in my mid-30s or mid-40s. But I've been told that your energy gradually reduces. So while I'm in my peak, I perceive myself as a sportsman. Maybe, you know, the same rules don't apply to business, but with something like YouTube, it's a very high impact, high energy job because we're running multiple channels. There's a lot of writing, there's a lot of creation pressure. I want to be the LeBron James of the process. I want to train like LeBron, I want to train like Virat, I want to train like Re. So if it requires.

Sorry, yeah, we're back. That is. Yeah, that is, you know what? So like I said, God has been kind and I, you know, my mom and dad have always taught me that, you know, we're not allowed to have cribbing conversations on the dining table. You know, don't cry, take action in, whatever. So I had a problem reaching out to people, you know, like, I take a challenge. You want me to meet the prime minister of a certain country? Okay, I'll meet him if I want to. I can approach a person in a certain way. Nobody knows me, but I'll make them know me. But I want to say this. I've never said this ever in my life. I wish when I was 26, you were my friend. Because what you just said completely, you know, blew me away. That at 26 I didn't. It's amazing that people will get to see this interview in by the tens of Thousands. Because at 26, if you can be aware of what will happen at 36 and 46 and 56 and then work backwards, dude, you. I've been impressed after a very long time and I meet a lot of people. Very honest.

Thank you, sir. Be impressed. Impressed. Ten years from now and I feel like I've not honestly done anything yet. We're genuinely just at the beginning of our journey. I'm one of those people who talks a lot. So I don't want any adulation right now. I want adulation after we've performed. So after the championship belt has been won that time. Cool. Not right.

You know what? And I, and I tell you, you're absolutely right. I mean, you know what I feel? I feel that there is after 10 years or even now, there's no. If the mindset that you're in now is what warrants that, that adulation, not the trophy that you got now or after 10 years. You know, whatever happens after 10 years, the mindset that you're in right now at 26, you deserve a trophy as big as Virat Kohli. Seriously, that mindset comes from your parents. I met Viraj and I was like, are you guys brothers? You look the same. And people who work together do start looking the same and you're surrounded by the right people. Whatever is happening, your faith in God, whatever you're doing, I just took a segue in this interview to say that, man, this really hit me harder than what I'm, I'm just. This section.

Thank you, sir.

Is going to help me now do my 56, 66 and 76 mindset planning because.

Thank you, sir.

Great. So we'll continue. When it comes to the field of social media, people who are watching this will say, you know what, Ranveer is running a YouTube thing. He's. He wants to tomorrow be. Maybe your podcast becomes as big and you become the John Lee Dumas of podcast. And you already have an agency, then you have talent management. So when today, if somebody is looking to start a digital marketing career, what phases would you advise him to go through? And the second question would be, so this would be like, should he take a course, should he get into university internship? What is the process of getting into digital marketing? And the second part of that question is, when an entrepreneur wants to learn from your journey, what are the various revenue options? I'm sure you get paid for speaking YouTube monetization. So there are two questions. One is career and the other is as an entrepreneur, a digital marketer, what all revenue streams are possible.

So if you're, if you want to get into digital marketing and you're still a college student, I'd highly recommend doing internships. That's where you really get your hands dirty. That's where you really learn. Again, I do believe that any kind of skill, this is what, what I learned from my first job in life, Rahu, me or myself started I'd worked in an engineering factory where they used to make industrial mixers. And what I learned is that you can learn any knowledge in today's day and age through another person, through common sense. So digital marketing also boils down to common sense. Yes, courses will help of course, but if you actually go down and get your hands dirty, you learn really fast. Also, digital marketing is a very wide kind of world. Like there's a lot of things you can do. So you really have to kind of put your foot in many ponds before deciding, okay, this is the place that I really want to build my career. And the best way to begin a digital marketing career is just jump in, just start. The other way to kind of train your mind is use a lot of social media, you know, explore a lot of blogs, explore a lot of YouTube channels that talk about data marketing. Get that amateur, amateur level education. That's what will really kind of just give you that initial nudge. The second question was about entrepreneurship. Yeah. So I hope I answered the first question already.

Yeah, perfectly perfect.

The second question about entrepreneurship I primarily earn through the brand associations that we do. That's the big chunk of our money in India. The YouTube money, the AdSense revenue that we make per YouTube. YouTube video. When someone watches an ad before video it's not like exorbitant, it's not really high. Like we don't earn that much money from YouTube AdSense. It covers some of my overheads, that's all. My primary source of money is the brand associations. We also do events in colleges, we do events at corporates. I also take up a little bit of personal coaching for some young professionals. I've coached some cricketers, I've coached some young actors, actresses, digital stars. Of course I mentor a lot of people who are just starting out their digital journeys. So that's another source of revenue. Obviously because I'm a co founder at Manga Entertainment, a bit of my personal income, like a small tiny bit comes from Manga Entertainment. Both my co founder and myself, we try reinvesting as much as we can into that business because it's just begun. It's a two year old company, it's a long way to go. I intend on starting a lot more businesses within the next three to four Years. So, honestly, while I'm talking about my steady, active revenue streams, my real pesa. My real money in life is gonna come five years later, probably, you know, from the big businesses that we built when they really start generating some, like, real big money. Right now, I've got enough money. Money to live a very, very comfortable life. But most of it, I'm reinvesting into my businesses, reinvesting into the process of starting more stuff. What I'm trying to do right now is I am definitely trying to become a billionaire. I know you shouldn't be saying that. I know you should take one day at a time, but I do have that vision for my own life, so everything's aligned for that. And if that requires me to not live as fancy a lifestyle as I can live with the current revenue that we make, that's fine. I want to live that life at 45 or 50.

Lovely. So play the long game. Have patience and still enjoy everything that you're doing because you're building stuff. And the money will come as the brand keeps growing. You know what? In my. In my journey, what I've seen is that my dad, every time that he had spare money, he would put 20% of that money make a small hotel. And then all, you know, and then I was like. When I was a kid, I was like, you never let us get comfortable. Whenever we get comfortable, you said, we don't have money because you put something back in, buying something else. He's like, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I don't want any of you to get comfortable. So beautiful. And, yeah, so he was able to build a few, you know, very decent assets because of that strategy of his, because he was like, you know what? If I didn't do that, then you people would have. I would get the money home and the lifestyle would increase. Better clothes, better cars, better everything. Why do we need it? We find the way we are.

So 100.

Yeah. Yeah, but. And I think.

I think that's something I've picked up from my parents as well. I've been brought up with the same kind of morals. They're all doctors. So money has never really been a problem at home, but they never kind of really spend exorbitantly. When I was a child with the same mentality that, you know, hold up. You'll understand the value of not spending right now when you're 25 and I'm 26 now, and I look back and I thank them for, you know, what they did to me when I Was a junior when I was 15.

Have you ever had a conversation at home, mom, that, you know, the way that my brand is growing all over the world, one day people are going to give me an honorary doctorate and I'll also join the breed of doctors at home. I'll be Dr. Ranier.

So if I ever start saying anything, which is even marginally, kind of in that realm of praising myself, like, even marginally, she will either, like, she'll slap me or she will tell me that, no, you've not done anything yet. So. And I owe her that. Like, so it really sometimes, sometimes we have fantastic days at work. You know, maybe I'll have done a really big interview with one of my idols or I'll have just. Something's worked out really well at Monk Entertainment or whatever. We've had a big day. I'll come home, I'll tell her with a lot of excitement and I tell her that this is what I want to do the next year. Be like, cool, do it then, like, talk about it. Like, so I think that mentality is, like, really hard. Why would buy her in my mind.

Ranveer, what's. Who. Who are the two people that you have. Would love to interview but you've. And you've maybe tried or never tried in, but one day you're going to get them on your show.

Virat, Kohli and LeBron James. Always. I will. Yeah. Yeah. These. These two guys, like, I. I mimic them. I study them every day. I'm consuming content about them. These are my two guys.

That is amazing. That's amazing. Okay, one question on any interview that nobody's asked you.

Man, I don't know. Probably no one's. No one's really. You know, I'm a YouTuber, so a lot of my mind and my life is out there. It's not. Nothing's coming to me right now. And I'm usually the guy who's asking. So. So, okay, I'll tell you what. Like, no one, no one asked me. I know that I'm a good podcaster. I know that, like, I'm one of the best in the world. We've just begun. So, like, I didn't begin as a good podcaster. In fact, I was pretty shit. And I feel like I worked on it. I do use a lot of psychological tricks and social tricks in order to bring out the best from people. I also use them in my actual real social life when I'm just trying to create an impression. So there's a whole process. I read a lot about psychology. I read a lot about social because I don't want that audience to get to know my tricks unless they're super fans. They can go to the Hindi channel.

Nice one.

Yeah.

And can you mention we're going to put it here. What is your Hindi channel?

For people who are watching this, it's called Ranveer Alabadhya. It's by my name.

Okay, by your name. Okay, great. So Ranveer, when it comes to personal branding, but whole world wants to become a personal brand, even sometimes without knowing a personal brand. I always say so what's your take on, you know, personal branding and how can people, how much should you invest time and money in personal branding and how can that help you?

100%. It's the future of brand building, easy businesses. So I do feel that there will be space to build like a regular conventional business where you work for the low instead of the logo like the people. So you can definitely build it the old school way. But if you're able to build a really strong personal brand with a lot of presence in the world of social media, your initial boost for any business you're trying to launch will be very simple. And I'm very aware of that. I think five years of my life I've been doing beer biceps. Now it's that I've made a cash in on what we've done. So it's a long process. You have to be patient, build it up, you know, really kind of make your muscles strong and then go lift that extremely heavy weight.

That means if I'm doing a job, I should continue doing a job. Build it on a side and then not just jump in and say YouTube channel, boss paper designation, all that drama. So Facebook. But otherwise in reality that's not the best thing to do.

Yes, feed the beast. Feed the beast first, make it a beast, make it big and strong and then you go do what you want.

Okay, awesome. Ranil, we're coming to the end but we asked for 30 minutes and I think we already crossed that. So just last one or two things. One is your message like my co founders cannot be here because it's about six o' clock in Vancouver, Canada. They were there. Normally my elder daughter says, wake me up, dad, I'm a hustler and all of that. She's one of the only teenagers who met Gary Vee multiple times. And we went to the office yesterday and she met Grant, she met everyone. But she's like you. She's saying, don't talk about me so much. Let me Finish my work, let the book come together, then I'll come out. So she o' clock at night, she finished her maths assignment. So I didn't wake her up at 6 o' clock in the morning for this interview. So just your message to my co founders. Raya, who's 14 and she's struggling with. She gets overwhelmed with so many things. School and videos and Instagram and she said, no, no, no. How can you say Instagram and videos is not my work? That is equally my work. So she's trying to balance. Sometimes she gets overwhelmed and at 14, sometimes people feel that they're going to get left behind in life. So your message for Raya.

I just feel that you're one of the luckiest teenagers to have been given this opportunity. Not, I think 99.9999% of teenagers in the world don't get an opportunity like this. Never let age be a factor in like reducing your confidence in any situation. Enter every room like you're the person who knows the most, even if you're 13 or 14 years old. I do believe that business boys learn a common sense. And you know what stops a teenager from having common sense also. So never let anyone speak perception of you, stop you from asking questions or stop you from, you know, being bold in meeting rooms or being bold during negotiations. I just feel that. And I don't really have much else to say because I'm, I'm all about execution and I do believe that she's executing already. So, I mean, there's nothing more I can say. That that's the core of it.

Awesome. And now, you know, so. And now a general message to Raya and Abiana about this Internet moguls of the world mission. Just a sort of word of encouragement from your side. So I'll take a screenshot and I'll send it to them.

Sure. Ryan Aviana, big, big, big respect. I want to learn from you. I want to know how you're perceiving the world of business at your age. It's beautiful that you're doing this. I wish I had begun when I was your age. God bless you. Good luck with everything. I am dead sure I will be seeing you on the post 30 under 30, possibly when you're 17 or 18 years old.

Awesome, awesome. Thank you so much for saying that, Ranveer. This has been awesome. I learned two very crucial things from you today and I'm sure many, many others have. Like I said, this is going to be a coffee table book, an online thing. It's going to be and we're going to do events around it all over the world. I live half my life in Canada. San Diego is the nearest place where all these big Internet rock stars come who are now becoming friends. And so this book is we want to do justice to the time that you've given us and make sure that everybody gets huge recognition through this that they deserve. And you know, the hundreds and thousands of downloads. We are putting our life into this because a, we want to make every business that we do a success. The other thing is that I want my girls to see that it's not easy, but we can reach out to people that we want to. So they make short videos, they send it out to people, they send emails, 80, 90% rejection rate. But then the people who come come and give us their time and it's still awesome. Sometimes, you know, the girls are like, these people didn't come and they didn't come. He said no. I said, he said no today or she said no today. We try up to two months again and sometimes we get them back. So it's a great journey to be with them. And I, you know, from an entrepreneur to an entrepreneur, thank you for your time because it's all valuable and everything, but from a father, I thank you 10x more because it makes all makes it more worthwhile for me. And like I said, we run a few companies in India and Canada and so anything that I can do for your digital agency project or just if I know somebody who you see common or whatever, anything that I can do, you've got a friend, just send me a WhatsApp message and I can do anything. I'm always here for you.

Thank you so much. Really, really appreciate it a lot. And this was genuinely one of the best conversations I've had since my career has begun. So really enjoy talking to you. So good luck and God bless you guys.

I've spoken to your team. Next time I'm in Bombay and if you guys are around, I'll come and drop in for 10 minutes.

100%, sir. 100%.

Take care. Thanks a lot. Bye bye.

Thank you, sir.
