Creative Bharat

Hosted by Creative Bharat

An Indian podcast featuring long-form interviews with entrepreneurs, paired with short, narrated explainers on B2B marketing strategy.

The brief

This YouTube channel presents two distinct formats under one banner. The primary format, as described by the host, features long-form, in-person interviews with Indian entrepreneurs, innovators, and public figures, exploring their professional journeys and mindsets. A secondary format consists of short, impersonal video essays on advanced B2B marketing topics like SEO and customer retention, which act as content marketing for the host's consultancy, Global CMO Partners.

The show's unique feature is its split personality, combining personal, long-form interviews hosted by Manjula Subhash Nair with anonymous, narrated shorts on marketing theory. This blend reflects the host's dual roles as both a media creator and a marketing consultant.
