Kushal Lodha

Hosted by Kushal Lodha

An Indian finance podcast where a qualified CA interviews top fund managers and analysts to decode their investment strategies for retail investors.

The brief

A long-form interview show focused on making expert-level Indian finance and investing knowledge accessible. Host Kushal Lodha, a decorated CA himself, sits down with CIOs, quant fund managers, and niche value investors. He uses a bilingual 'Hinglish' approach to break down complex topics like valuation models, sector analysis, and macroeconomic trends into actionable advice for young, ambitious retail investors.

The show's edge comes from combining high-caliber guests, who manage thousands of crores, with a host who is skilled at simplifying their complex methods. Unlike purely technical shows, it often includes live on-screen demonstrations (like building a quant model) and a focus on the guest's personal journey and mistakes, making it both educational and relatable.

How Kushal Lodha interviews

Kushal Lodha's interview style is structured and educational. He typically opens by establishing the guest's credibility, asking for concrete numbers like their AUM, CAGR, or years of experience. He then guides the conversation towards the guest's core framework, whether it's a valuation method or a macro analysis technique, often asking them to break down complex terms for the audience. He comes prepared with his guest's prior work, like Twitter threads, to ask specific questions. A unique signature is his closing move: he consistently asks the guest what question they would ask themselves if they were in his shoes, which often elicits a reflective or personal insight.

The format is a one-on-one interview, often conducted remotely. Episodes frequently open with a fast-paced montage of the conversation's highlights and use on-screen text and graphics to explain financial terms. The host's bilingual (Hindi/English) delivery makes complex financial topics more approachable for a wider Indian audience.
