00:01Okay, so it all started last month when I was in San Francisco.
00:04Literally everywhere I went, the talk of the town was this miracle drug that is making people lose their weight
00:10just like this.
00:11They called it...
00:12GLP-1 weight loss drugs.
00:13Weight loss drug.
00:14White loss drug.
00:15Ozempic has exploded in popularity as both the diabetes and a weight loss drug.
00:20Without this medication, I never would have gotten here on my own.
00:26Ozempic...
00:26Now it's supposed to be a prescription drug meant to help in diabetes.
00:29But they were pushing it like candy in the U.S.
00:34I mean, someone literally came and handed me a pamphlet for it at a convenience store.
00:38At first I thought it's probably just a passing trend in the U.S. right?
00:41But then rumors started popping up in Bollywood that every other celebrity is hooked onto the drug.
00:47Many of them had suddenly lost a lot of weight and transformed themselves just like that.
00:53Most denied using it, but some came forward and admitted it.
01:01Now I know it sounds too good to be true, which is why I dug in to find out who
01:06profits from it,
01:08why is it that food and beverage companies are panicking,
01:11and most importantly, what the dangerous side effects of using this drug are.
01:15So let me take you through the good, the bad, and the ugly,
01:19because soon you're going to be seeing it everywhere.
01:25You see, as a society, we've kind of turned weight into this moral scoreboard of sorts.
01:30Thin equals disciplined.
01:32Fat equals lazy or no self-control.
01:35That's the narrative that's generally pushed by our neighbors, auntie, uncles, relatives.
01:39And you know what?
01:40The marketing teams of all these healthy foods industry and the fitness industry
01:44provides them with a lot of supplementary material.
01:47But the problem is, none of these people seem to really understand the human body.
01:51They don't know that obesity can be a vicious battle between your mind and your body.
01:56They don't get that the script is always the same.
01:59Initially, your mind is determined.
02:01So the first month, you work hard, control your diet,
02:04and you feel a glimmer of hope once the weight drops.
02:07Month two, your hard work starts to pay lesser dividends,
02:10and by the third month, your mind is challenged to a deadly duel by the body.
02:15Suddenly, the body is more tired than before, more hungry than ever,
02:19more cranky, and more obsessed with food.
02:22Now sometimes this happens because when people suddenly lose a lot of weight,
02:26the body fights back.
02:27Hunger hormones go up, and full hormones go down.
02:31Your body literally starts burning fewer calories per day than you'd expect for your new size,
02:36like it's quietly lowering your metabolic thermostat to get you back to your old weight.
02:41Now there are a lot of outliers who don't experience this,
02:44but for people fighting obesity, it's a long uphill battle.
02:47Now combine this biology with the world we actually live in.
02:52Ultra-processed foods on every corner,
02:55jobs, travel, and doom scrolling that keeps you sitting 14 to 16 hours a day,
02:59family culture where eat more beta equals love,
03:03clearly a lot of people have it bad.
03:05And that's exactly why this miracle drug, Ozympic, took off.
03:09You see, patients weren't just seeing better blood sugar,
03:12they were coming back 5, 10, 15 kilos lighter,
03:15and a lot of them shared the same thing.
03:18They said that they finally, finally, finally felt in control,
03:22the noise in their head was gone,
03:25the constant nagging of what I should eat next,
03:28what's being cooked next, what's for dinner, lunch,
03:30all of it silenced.
03:32And along with it, even the guilt and shame they felt was slowly healing.
03:37Interestingly, this is also where our story starts today.
03:44It's the 1990s, we're in the Sonoran Desert,
03:48home of the Gila monster.
03:50There's so beady-eyed, venomous lizard,
03:52only it's maybe 3 or 4 times a year,
03:54but when it does, it feasts.
03:57Giant eggs for appetizers, baby rabbits for main course,
04:00and much smaller lizards for dessert.
04:02A giant caloric hit once,
04:04and then it's done for months.
04:06A researcher named Dr. John Eng
04:08became obsessed with this lizard,
04:10and a simple question,
04:11why the hell does it not starve and die?
04:13Why was its blood sugar not haywire?
04:16So he dug in,
04:17analyzed the lizard's venom,
04:19and that's when he found a hormone,
04:21it's called Exendin-4.
04:23It looks suspiciously like a hormone humans already make,
04:27that's GLP-1,
04:28or glucagon-like peptide-1.
04:30You see, when you eat,
04:31human GLP-1 is one of the little messengers your gut sends out.
04:35It helps release insulin and calm down on the sugar dump.
04:38So it slows down your digestion speed,
04:40so that you feel full for longer,
04:42and it tells your brain,
04:43hey listen,
04:44you're full,
04:44reject the warm eyes of your grandmother,
04:46asking you to take one more serving.
04:48The problem though,
04:49this human GLP-1 is fragile.
04:51It survives in your bloodstream for about 2 minutes,
04:55then it's gone.
04:56The lizard's version on the other side,
04:58it hangs around for hours.
05:00So Dr. Eng realized that if he could synthesize the hormone into a drug,
05:04he can help people with the type of diabetes to control their blood sugar effectively.
05:09So he took the idea to Big Pharma,
05:11faced a bunch of rejections and mobile abuse,
05:13until finally,
05:15a small company called Amylan Pharmaceuticals took a chance on him.
05:18They developed a human safe version,
05:21and turned it into one of the first GLP-1 drugs for diabetes.
05:24And it worked.
05:26Sort of,
05:26you had to inject it a lot.
05:28The process was a bit tedious,
05:30the efficacy also was only such that the drug took the world by a drizzle.
05:34But interestingly,
05:35that is when Denmark walked in.
05:41You see,
05:42Denmark is not a place you associate with revolutions.
05:44It's a small, peaceful, highly taxed country with lots and lots of bicycles.
05:48But,
05:49it has a secret weapon.
05:50A pharmaceutical company called Nova Nordisk.
05:54Now,
05:54Nova Nordisk looked at this lizard-inspired biology and said,
05:58Okay,
05:59what if we make GLP-1 mimic drugs that last a week instead of a few hours?
06:06They engineered a molecule called semaglutide,
06:09one weekly injection,
06:11long-acting GLP-1 mimic.
06:13They launched it in 2017 as Ozempic for diabetics.
06:18And then,
06:19at a higher dose as Vigovi,
06:21specifically for weight loss.
06:23In clinical trials,
06:24patients on Vigovi plus lifestyle changes
06:26lost around 15% of their body weight on average.
06:30Some lost even 20% or more.
06:33The placebo group,
06:33on the other hand,
06:34barely hit 2-3%.
06:36Now,
06:36that is not
06:37I cut sugar in my chaiwala weight loss.
06:40That's bariatric surgery territory
06:42without surgery.
06:44Then,
06:45American giant,
06:46Eli Lilly,
06:47entered with their Zepetide.
06:48Brand names,
06:49Munjaro and Zepbound,
06:51which mimics not just GLP-1,
06:53but another hormone called GIP.
06:56In trials,
06:57people lost upward of 20% of their body weight.
07:00Now,
07:00if you combine this efficacy with Denmark's health system,
07:04Denmark did something very un-American.
07:07It started covering the cost of these drugs widely for people with obesity and heart disease.
07:13Not as a vanity tool,
07:15but as a cardiovascular intervention.
07:18One huge trial called SELECT
07:20followed over 17,000 overweight or obese adults with heart diseases,
07:25but no diabetes.
07:26Those on semaglutide had about a 20% lower risk of major cardiac events,
07:31heart attacks,
07:32strokes,
07:33cardiovascular deaths
07:34than those on placebo.
07:36Now,
07:36there are a lot of side effects as well.
07:38We are going to get to them later,
07:40so stay till the end.
07:41Early data from Denmark
07:43now suggests
07:43drops in diabetes complications,
07:45fewer heart problems,
07:47fewer obesity-related surgeries.
07:49You know,
07:49health economists estimate
07:50that for every crone spent on GLP-1 drugs for high-risk patients,
07:54multiple croner may be spent in future healthcare costs.
07:58Remember our lizard?
07:59Its venom has now helped create a company so valuable
08:02that no one noticed market cap
08:04has at points
08:06surpassed the entire GDP of Denmark.
08:09Yep,
08:10one company worth more than the country that hosts it.
08:14Now,
08:15while Denmark is using this lizard spit
08:17to quietly bend its health curves,
08:20India is sitting on a completely different problem.
08:23But before I get to that,
08:25I need to interrupt the story,
08:26but stay with me,
08:27this is going to come in handy.
08:29We want to thank Odu,
08:30our partner for this video,
08:32as they help bring the story to life.
08:34Odu is an all-in-one enterprise management app
08:37that helps you meet all your business needs,
08:39be it invoicing,
08:40website creation,
08:41inventory management,
08:42or creating an online store.
08:45You know,
08:45in the last few years,
08:46I've seen a lot of people starting online businesses
08:48and a big problem all of them faced
08:50was in creating an online store,
08:52maybe due to lack of budget or technical knowledge.
08:54So if you're someone who's facing the same challenge,
08:57then you need to check out
08:58Odu's e-commerce builder.
09:00With this tool,
09:01you don't need to worry about having any technical skills.
09:03All you need to do is pick your objective and business type
09:06for your online store,
09:08choose the color palette,
09:09or build one from your logo,
09:11add in the pages and features,
09:13and lastly,
09:14pick one of the three themes,
09:15and you can start with customizing your online store
09:18by simply dragging and dropping blocks.

09:33you don't have to pay anything to start
09:36because Odu's first app is free for life
09:38with unlimited hosting and support
09:40and a free personalized domain name for the first year.
09:43So check out Odu for all your business needs.
09:45Now back to the video.
09:51You see us Indians,
09:53we deal with something called skinny fat.
09:55It's hypothesized as a byproduct of colonial resource theft
09:59because our ancestors dealt with being overworked,
10:02underfed,
10:03and a patriarchal system that caused maternal undernutrition
10:06to impact their babies.
10:08Even with the same BMI as Europeans,
10:10South Asians tend to carry more fat
10:12and less lean muscle around certain organs.
10:14Now I have a feeling that we low-key may have
10:16created the dad bod archetype,
10:18but this body type gets layered with a 80% carb-heavy diet,
10:22sugar sprinkled onto every dish,
10:24and a culture that's increasingly stationary,
10:27which has now led to one of the largest
10:29diabetic populations in the world.
10:32Additionally,
10:33we also have rising obesity
10:34and undernutrition coexisting simultaneously
10:37better than religious groups too.
10:39This is definitely not good news.
10:41We are seeing heart attacks impact
10:43people who are in their 40s and 30s now.
10:47Basically,
10:48we're the exact target demographic
10:49for a drug that lowers blood sugar
10:51or lowers obesity.
10:54So enter...
10:55Oh!
10:56Oh!
10:56Oh!
10:57The popular diabetes drug
10:59that some are using for weight loss.
11:00Stories of dramatic weight loss
11:02plastered all over social media.
11:04It appears to have broad benefit
11:06across a variety of behavioral addictions
11:10as well as drug-based addictions.
11:12If you feel like being in a bigger body is great,
11:15that is beautiful.
11:16It's disappointing to sad to know
11:18that body positivity was all a big lie
11:20because it's better to not be overweight.
11:24Now it should have
11:25and could have been a game-changer
11:27except for one issue.
11:29Actually, not one issue.
11:30Two.
11:30First is the price
11:31and second is the multitude of side effects.
11:35So in the US,
11:36a month of a Zempig or Vigovi
11:38can list around $900 to $1,300
11:41without insurance.
11:42In India,
11:43when GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide
11:45and tizepatide launch,
11:47monthly costs landed in the $15,000 to $25,000 range
11:50depending on dose and brand.
11:52So what's happening right now
11:53is kind of a medical apartheid.
11:55Now in South Mumbai and South Delhi,
11:57people are using GLP-1
11:58to use 5 kilos before a wedding
12:00whereas in smaller towns,
12:02diabetics who actually need these drugs
12:04are struggling to afford basic insulin.
12:06But remember one thing,
12:08India has one superpower,
12:10Denmark does not.
12:12India is the pharmacy of the world.
12:14As patents expire,
12:16Indian pharma is already sprinting
12:18to make generic semaglutide.
12:20In fact, analysts expect that
12:21once robust generics hit,
12:23price could drop dramatically,
12:25sometimes by 60% to 90%
12:27versus original brand pricing,
12:29like we've seen with other drugs.
12:31That basically means that
12:31in a few years,
12:33the same shot that currently costs
12:3415,000 to 20,000 rupees
12:36could be available
12:37for less than 1,000 to 2,000 rupees a month.
12:40Maybe less or even.
12:41Now imagine a government scheme
12:42that gives generic GLP-1
12:43to the poorest diabetic patients for free.
12:46Dialysis wards emptier,
12:47fewer amputations,
12:49fewer heart attacks.
12:50Now I know on paper,
12:51it sounds like magic,
12:52like we finally got a cheat code
12:54for one of India's biggest health crises.
12:57Except,
12:58this will kind of act as a prelude
12:59for a much larger scale battle
13:01between two mammoth industries.
13:04Because what happens is,
13:06Ozempic leads to people eating a lot less.
13:09Reports say it's a 20 to 30%
13:11cut down of calories,
13:13most of which are aimed
13:14at processed foods and drinks.
13:16Which is to say that
13:17giant F&B brands
13:18are gonna take a massive hit
13:20on their profits.
13:21In fact,
13:22this is already happening in America.
13:24Now given that they spend
13:25decades engineering
13:27hyper-palatable addictive foods
13:29that hijack your brain,
13:30they may try to resist this innovation.
13:32So you have team Walmart,
13:34team Nestle's
13:35going up against another behemoth
13:38that's the pharmaceutical industry
13:39consisting of heavy hitters
13:41like Sun Pharma,
13:42Cipolla, Zydas
13:43and many more.
13:45Now I'm not sure who's winning,
13:46but analysts project
13:47that GLP One Drugs
13:49could become a 100 billion dollar
13:51annual market globally
13:52within a few years.
13:53Unfortunately,
13:54what's caught between this epic war
13:56is regular people.
13:58Desperate to just get healthier
14:00and a lot of them deal with
14:02a lack of awareness.
14:04Which is why
14:05it's time for us to ask
14:06what is this drug
14:07actually doing inside you
14:09and at what cost?
14:15Now let's zoom all the way
14:16into the molecular world.
14:17First,
14:18you inject some aglutide,
14:19synthetic GLP-1 mimic,
14:21under your skin.
14:22Now for the next week,
14:23that molecule sits in your blood
14:25acting like a highly paid
14:26bouncer of sorts.
14:27It gets your pancreas
14:28to release more insulin.
14:29Then it reduces glucagon,
14:31the hormone that raises blood sugar.
14:33It then slows the stomach's
14:35gastric emptying process.
14:37Slower digestion
14:38helps you feel full for longer.
14:40And finally,
14:41it binds to GLP-1 receptors
14:43in the areas of your brain
14:44that control appetite and reward
14:46and it makes you stop craving
14:48as much or at all really.
14:50That's the good part now.
14:51The not so fun fine print is
14:53when you stop taking the medication,
14:55your biology remembers the old you.
14:58Multiple studies have shown
14:59that after discontinuing
15:01some aglutide,
15:01patients regain a large chunk
15:04of the weight they've lost,
15:05often about two-thirds
15:06within a year.
15:07So no,
15:08this is not a three-month detox,
15:10it's a temporary fixer
15:11that goes away
15:12when you stop paying its fees,
15:14which is music to the years
15:15of pharma executives
15:16because they get to sell
15:17a lifetime subscription
15:19and the fee is nearly
15:2020,000 rupees a month.
15:22But even that's not the scariest part
15:25because GLP-1 receptors
15:26aren't just in your hunger circuitry,
15:29they are scattered
15:29across your brain and body.
15:32And when you mask
15:33over the system like that,
15:34you don't just get weight loss,
15:36you get side effects.
15:37Type 2 diabetes?
15:39Discover the Ozempic trizone.
15:44Now just look at this
15:45Ozempic advertisement
15:46and the side effects
15:47they are legally forced to list out
15:49to stay out of trouble.
15:50Ozempic isn't for people
15:51with type 1 diabetes.
15:52Don't take Ozempic
15:53if you or your family
15:54ever had medullary thyroid cancer
15:55or have multiple
15:56endocrineoplasia syndrome type 2
15:58or if allergic to it.
15:59Yeah,
15:59so these are some of the obvious symptoms
16:01and honestly,
16:02they're reported to be mild
16:03and often fade
16:04as the dose slowly escalates.
16:06But that's not all,
16:07is it?
16:08Stop Ozempic
16:09and get medical help right away
16:10if you get a lump or swelling
16:11in your neck,
16:11severe stomach pain
16:12or an allergic reaction.
16:13Now these are some
16:14of the more problematic side effects,
16:16reported only in a few users
16:18but dangerous nonetheless
16:19and this is not the end either.
16:22Serious side effects
16:22may include pancreatitis,
16:24gallbladder problems may occur.
16:25Tell your provider
16:25about vision problems or changes.
16:27Yeah,
16:27now you would think it's done
16:28but there's more.
16:30Side effects like nausea,
16:31vomiting and diarrhea
16:32may lead to dehydration
16:33which may worsen kidney problems.
16:35Okay,
16:35we're done.
16:36That's,
16:37yeah,
16:37I think we could do
16:38a 20 minute video
16:39to cover each of these side effects.
16:41If at all
16:42you are considering this drug,
16:44you need to remember
16:45that the drug partly works
16:47by slowing your stomach
16:48but in some people
16:50it slows too much
16:51and causes long-term gastroparesis
16:53or stomach paralysis.
16:55The food
16:56just literally sits there
16:57for hours or days.
16:59People literally end up in ERs
17:01vomiting meals
17:02they ate long ago.
17:04Now there's also
17:04a black box warning
17:05about thyroid C cell tumors
17:07based on rodent data.
17:09We don't have the clear
17:10long-term human data yet.
17:11Obesity itself
17:12also raises thyroid cancer risk
17:14so the signal
17:15is kind of messy.
17:16Oh also,
17:17up to 40% of weight loss
17:19can be lean mass.
17:20Not fat,
17:21muscle.
17:21Which is manageable
17:22for a 25-year-old
17:24but for a 60-year-old
17:25for whom their remaining muscle
17:26is essentially
17:27a life insurance,
17:28it could prove near fatal.
17:30So,
17:31you know the bad.
17:32But after digging deeper,
17:34there's a bit more.
17:35A few weird side effects
17:37that have been reported.
17:38So people on GLP-1 drugs
17:40started posting things like,
17:41I stopped craving alcohol.
17:43I'm not doom-scrolling
17:44shopping apps anymore.
17:45I stopped biting my nails.
17:47You see,
17:47what's happening is
17:48when you mess with
17:49the reward circuitry,
17:51you don't just quiet food,
17:53you may quiet other compulsions
17:54that piggyback
17:55on the same dopamine symptoms.
17:57And maybe that doesn't
17:59sound too bad
18:00until you hear
18:01that some users report
18:02something darker.
18:04Anadonia,
18:05that's basically
18:06the inability to feel pleasure.
18:08Food doesn't excite them,
18:09but neither does music,
18:11hobbies.
18:12Life just kind of feels
18:13flat for them.
18:15Now,
18:15we don't have solid
18:16incidence numbers yet.
18:17It may be a small minority,
18:19but it forces
18:19a very uncomfortable question.
18:21If you have to choose
18:22between a life
18:23where you're overweight
18:24but feel dry normally
18:26and a life where you're thin
18:27but everything feels muted,
18:30which one is actually
18:31a better way to live?
18:32You see,
18:32we're not just negotiating
18:33with scale here.
18:34We're also somewhere
18:35negotiating with
18:36what actually makes
18:37a meaningful life.
18:38And while we're doing that,
18:39the rest of the economy
18:40is rearranging itself
18:42around this injection.
18:44But just be careful.
18:46When such an industry
18:47emerges on the backs
18:48of vulnerable
18:49and often desperate people,
18:52opportunists corrupt
18:53the same economy
18:54in insidious ways.
18:55There are many websites
18:57surfacing with
18:58wires labeled
18:59sub-agnotide research peptide
19:01not for human use
19:02shipped from mystery factories.
19:04Many of them are scams
19:06where the product
19:06never arrives,
19:07others were random
19:08falsified substances
19:09that could send you
19:10to the bathroom,
19:11the ER
19:12or heaven directly.
19:14So,
19:15where does that leave you?
19:17Now,
19:17you might be someone
19:18who has struggled
19:19with obesity
19:19your entire life,
19:21tried everything
19:21and GLP-1 drugs
19:23finally gave you
19:24a body that feels livable
19:25and lab results
19:26that don't terrify your doctor.
19:28If that's you,
19:30I'm not here to shame you.
19:31Honestly,
19:32I'm glad something exists
19:33that works.
19:34You don't know anybody
19:36an explanation.
19:37But,
19:38you might also be someone
19:39who is tempted
19:40to take this
19:41because your friend
19:42lost 15 kilos,
19:43your timeline is full
19:44of miracle stories
19:45and you are thinking
19:46of this as a quick
19:47aesthetic fix.
19:48If that is you,
19:49again,
19:50I'm not here to judge you either.
19:52It's your body,
19:53your choice.
19:54I'm just someone
19:55who's really curious
19:56about what's happening
19:57around this drug
19:57and here to share
19:58everything I could find.
20:00I'm not a medical practitioner,
20:01so please do not take
20:03any of this
20:03as medical advice.
20:04Do your own research
20:05to make an informed choice
20:07always.
20:08But,
20:09if after all the research
20:11you do,
20:11you still decide
20:12to take this,
20:13I do want you to know
20:15the choice
20:15that you're actually making.
20:17You're not just choosing
20:18to lose weight,
20:19you are choosing
20:20a weekly injection
20:22possibly for years.
20:24Side effects
20:25that might be
20:26non-existent,
20:27mild,
20:28permanent
20:28or in rare cases,
20:30fatal.
20:31You see,
20:31all drugs react
20:32with all bodies
20:33differently.
20:34There's also
20:34a very high risk
20:36of regaining
20:37all the weight
20:38you lost
20:38if you stop.
20:39You see,
20:40science is fascinating
20:42but nature is also
20:44very, very brutal.
20:45We are still collecting
20:46long-term data on this.
20:47There are complications
20:48we don't fully understand yet.
20:51So,
20:51you are literally
20:52choosing to participate
20:53in an experiment
20:54that's happening
20:55in real time
20:55at global scale.
20:57And,
20:57you know what,
20:58as a society,
20:59we're also choosing
21:00something bigger
21:01with this drug.
21:01Do we actually
21:02want a future
21:03where the solution
21:04to a broken food system
21:05is a needle?
21:06Where instead of
21:07regulating junk food
21:09marketing to kids,
21:10redesigning cities
21:11for movement,
21:12making real food
21:13cheaper and accessible,
21:14we just tell people,
21:15here's your weekly injection,
21:17you'll eat less,
21:18problem solved.
21:19I think that
21:19GLP-1 drugs,
21:21yeah,
21:21they can be a tool,
21:22they can buy time,
21:23they can reduce suffering,
21:24especially for people
21:25already deep into
21:27diabetes and heart diseases
21:28and struggle with obesity,
21:30but they're not
21:31a substitute
21:31for fixing the environment
21:33that made so many of us
21:34sick in the first place.
21:36It's kind of like
21:36your house is on fire
21:38and instead of
21:39putting out the flames,
21:40someone sells you
21:41a very expensive
21:42fireproof jacket.
21:43Great,
21:44yeah,
21:44you don't burn,
21:45but the house
21:46is still gone.
21:47So,
21:48now you know
21:48that behind Olympic
21:50lies a very real
21:52medical breakthrough,
21:53a very powerful
21:54business model,
21:55a very lopsided
21:57global system
21:57of who gets access
21:58to health
21:59and a very deep
22:00philosophical question
22:01about what we think
22:03body should be.
22:04The age of obesity
22:06might be ending
22:07or we might just be
22:08entering the age
22:09of Olympic economy,
22:11a world where thinness
22:12like so many other things
22:14is something you can rent
22:15if you can afford
22:16the monthly fee.
22:17Now,
22:17I'm not gonna tell you
22:18how to go about
22:19facing this challenge,
22:20that's your call,
22:21I just wish
22:22for it to be
22:23an informed call
22:24is all.
22:25I interrupt this segment
22:26to share some important
22:27news with all of you.
22:29So,
22:29two and a half years ago,
22:30we started a video editing
22:32school around the thesis
22:33that video editing
22:34and content creation
22:35are going to become
22:36long-term viable careers
22:37because as products
22:39become easier to build,
22:40distribution will become
22:42the moat
22:42and people who know
22:43how to build distribution
22:44will have a lot of leverage.
22:46As of now,
22:47we have trained
22:483,500 students
22:49and turns out
22:50somewhere
22:51our thesis
22:51was right.
22:52Don't take my word
22:53for it.
22:54Check this out.
22:54I'm quite sure
22:55you also talk
22:56with your friends
22:56and family.
22:57Sure.
22:57Definitely you talk
22:58about your career.
22:59Yeah.
22:59So,
23:00what was that?
23:00What is that conversation
23:01like now?
23:03It's very different now.
23:04What has changed?
23:05Since I'm a cinematographer,
23:06I've gotten the opportunity
23:07to meet various founders.
23:09The biggest example
23:10is Satya Nadella.
23:10Seriously,
23:11we work with this branch.
23:12We worked with Nvidia.
23:13We worked with Google.
23:14Video creation
23:14was the part
23:16that started
23:17with an office
23:18conversation
23:18and now it has
23:19so-and-so million views
23:20of it.
23:21comments
23:21so I think
23:22that dopamine hit
23:23makes me
23:23want to come to office
23:25every day.
23:25Parents,
23:26if you talk to my friends,
23:27they have seen it.
23:27Everyone's cold content
23:28right now.
23:28They've seen the work.
23:29I am really happy.
23:30Every day I wake up
23:31and I'm like,
23:31I'm going to do
23:32something creative.
23:34Not just the folks
23:34you saw just now,

23:52and a lot more
23:53new roles
23:54in Gen AI
23:54in content economy
23:55which are just emerging.
23:57I'm not exaggerating.

24:00than students
