In a World Where AI Takes away Jobs, What Are Our Choices? | Episode 9 | Ft. N Ravi Shankar

In this episode, we sit down with N. Ravishankar, Founder of Aim High Consulting, one of India’s most respected PR firms that has worked with 500+ companies across 200 categories, including 18 unicorns such as Flipkart, Swiggy, and Ola.Ravi brings together three rare worlds in one conversation — a founder who built and scaled a category-defining firm, an author and columnist deeply rooted in Kannada literature, and a keen observer of India’s startup ecosystem with a ringside view spanning two decades.We trace his journey from Mysuru to building a national PR powerhouse, including early-stage memories of Flipkart’s Koramangala office, long before it became a billion-dollar company. The conversation moves beyond success stories into real founder playbooks — navigating early uncertainty, making pivots, go-to-market thinking, choosing the right co-founder, and growing with the ecosystem instead of against it.What sets this episode apart is Ravi’s calm, reflective storytelling, beautifully interwoven with Kaggas by DVG, adding a depth rarely seen in startup conversations.This isn’t just a story of building a company — it’s a story of shaping an ecosystem while growing within it.
