The Rise and fall of Snapchat (and the rise again)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Abbas & @ishanmanjrekar share a sensei-student moment where sensei Ishan, our resident game designer shells out his views on the PUBG ban in India and what it could mean for the competition. In this 50 minute podcast, we talk about political and economic factors, physics and chicken dinners - and how they impact game design and marketing, and eventually the success of a game.Also, if you do play FAUG, the Indian answer to PUBG (or so they claim) my handle will be haddipehelwan. You may try to kill me with a headshot in the first few seconds.

All about presentations

Presentations are an important part in products. More than just products, its a lifeskill which helps you get a foot in the door when you are impressing a potential stakeholder that you want to invest in your idea. There's a ton of matter on what to do, but what not to do in presentations is better to know. Ishan & Abbas try to capture this in this episode. The presentation referred to in the podcast, detailing the how-not-to's can be found here [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/abbasdawood_making-killer-presentations-how-not-to-make-activity-6702797914336440320-CV8x] Also, heres one open ad to Ishan's other podcast, Kulcha Shock [https://open.spotify.com/show/4OLrGucXfIWTgfCKCRlBGo].

The Rise and fall of Snapchat (and the rise again)

"I'll be back" said the terminator as he descended into a pool of molten steel. And indeed does come back in the sequel. Much of this is like what happened with Snapchat. A poster child for "in-the-moment" moments, to being carbon-copied and still being relevant - what is Snapchat doing right? We discuss Bitmoji, spectacles, snap mini and games and our personal opinions on each of these items. Tune in!

Podcasts as a product - What Why How

In this episode of Just Product things, Abbas and Ishan discuss Podcasts as a product. From humble beginnings to still being relevant (more so now), Podcasts seem to that product which never says never. In the fight to reign the content space, podcasts are still relevant and we dig deeper to understand why that is. Listen in to find the origin story, the not-so-new tech and what possibly are motivators for the surge podcasts have seen in the last 3 months.

Products - Whats it all about

In the first episode of this series, we discuss what the rest of this series is going to be about - Products. We talk about what is a product, what makes something get tagged as a product and some examples of famous products and the simplistic thought behind its making, the people who use it and a little about its makers. Episode includes a flash fight of the battle of the (new) ages - Apple vs Google.
