On The Point
No jargon. Just clarity.
India's most practical podcast on education, money, parenting, careers, and tech. We invite real experts, strip out the fluff, and leave you with steps you can actually take this week.
Why this show exists
Most advice sounds smart but solves nothing. We started On The Point to do the opposite—turn confusing, high-stakes decisions into clear next steps. Whether you're choosing a master's abroad, comparing loan options, deciding how much screen time is sane, or figuring out where AI fits in your work, OTP gives you the context you need and the actions you can take now. The promise is simple: we won't waste your time. Every episode is designed to be useful the same day you listen.
What makes OTP different
Action First
We prioritise checklists, templates, and mental models over buzzwords.
Practitioner Voices
Guests who've actually done the work—educators, lenders, founders, clinicians, policy folks, and parents who have tested what they preach.
India-First Lens
Global trends, Indian realities—fees, salaries, visas, taxes, cost of living, city bias.
No Jargon
If it can't be explained simply, we don't air it.
- Students and parents planning study paths and funding wisely.
- Young professionals navigating skills, careers, and AI without hype.
- Educators and policy folks who want ground-level signals over noise.
- Anyone who prefers clarity to hot takes.
What you get each week

Topics We Cover
Understanding AI for Non-Techies
AI, minus the mystery. Use everyday tools at home and work—document clean-ups, research, simple automations—without risking privacy or wasting hours. Expect a seven day starter plan and honest dos and don'ts.
The Truth About Student Loans
Admissions are emotional; financing shouldn't be. Break down rates, fees, moratoriums, and the traps hidden in fine print. Walk away with a pre-sanction checklist, a simple EMI and moratorium calculator, and a negotiation script.
Smart Parents, Smarter Plans
From "less pressure, more presence" to calmer routines and screen-time sanity. Practical tactics you can try tonight, backed by experience—not guilt.
