  • Spykar and Vidyut Jammwal stitch together stories in new podcast drop

    Spykar and Vidyut Jammwal stitch together stories in new podcast drop

    MUMBAI: Looks like Spykar is weaving more than denim, it’s stitching together stories worth listening to. The homegrown fashion brand has dropped the second episode of its podcast series, It’s in our jeans, featuring actor and martial artist Vidyut Jammwal in an unfiltered, heart-to-heart chat with Spykar co-founder and CEO Sanjay Vakharia.

    Following the success of its debut episode, the series continues to celebrate Indian grit, creativity, and ambition through candid conversations. In this latest instalment, Vidyut takes listeners on a journey through his modelling days, film career, and Hollywood debut: all while reflecting on failure, discipline, and the art of staying grounded.

    “It’s always a pleasure speaking with Vidyut, and sharing our camaraderie with the world through this podcast was truly special,” said Vakharia. “His discipline and energy are infectious. This episode offers a deep dive into his life and mindset that’s sure to inspire many.”

    Fittingly recorded at Spykar’s stylish corporate headquarters, the episode captures the brand’s authenticity and the actor’s raw honesty. Jammwal fondly recalls his first big modelling campaign for Spykar itself calling it a full-circle moment. “Imagine going from modelling for a brand to acting, and then endorsing it again. That’s an achievement,” he said.

    On failure, he offered a striking perspective: “The difference between a student and a master is that the student fails a few times, but a master fails a zillion times. I don’t see failures as failures. Nothing in my life has gone my way and thank god for that.”

    With new episodes dropping every fortnight, ‘It’s in our jeans’ continues to bring India’s finest voices to the forefront. The podcast is streaming on Spotify, Youtube, and Apple podcasts, making it easy to tune in wherever you are.

After a roaring success with its 100th episode celebration in Pune which pulled in crowds including fans from abroad, the trio is ready to turn the City of Nawabs into a city of laughs. The stage at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan will come alive at 8:00 pm, as satire, storytelling and sharp observations take centre stage.

Their live shows promise more than just punchlines: fans can expect candid chats, inside jokes, and that unique chemistry that makes Teen Taal India’s No.1 Hindi podcast.

    What makes the event special is the intimacy. Registrations are now open for fans eager to be part of the laughter, stories and surprises woven into this landmark recording. Seats, however, are limited and if the Pune frenzy is anything to go by, the Lucknow evening will be packed to the rafters.

    With over two seasons of chart-topping success on Apple Podcasts and beyond, Teen Taal has turned everyday life into a cultural phenomenon. Episode 125 isn’t just a milestone; it’s a celebration of conversations that resonate far beyond the airwaves.

    Spykar’s new podcast stitches heritage with ambition in ‘It’s in our jeans’

    MUMBAI: All sewn up, Spykar is threading stories, not just jeans. India’s homegrown denim label has unzipped a new chapter in storytelling with the launch of its podcast, ‘It’s in our jeans/genes.’ The series promises conversations as textured as a vintage denim jacket, spotlighting change makers who are stitching heritage into modern ambition.

True to the show’s theme, the duo even paired denim with sarees in a playful diy experiment, blending tradition with trend in one seamless drape.

    “Fashion is about more than denim, it’s about identity and the stories that connect us,” said Spykar Lifestyles, co-founder and ceo, Sanjay Vakharia. “The Suta sisters embody the balance of heritage and modernity, reflecting the ambition of a new India that thinks global while staying rooted.”

    With more episodes lined up across technology, food, music, and start-ups, ‘It’s in our jeans/genes’ aims to inspire students, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike. Available on Spotify, Youtube, Apple podcasts and more, the series cements Spykar’s role not just as India’s denim favourite, but also as a storyteller for a new India: authentic, ambitious, and global.

  • All Indians Matter in Apple Podcasts, Spotify top picks

    All Indians Matter in Apple Podcasts, Spotify top picks

    The All Indians Matter podcast has been featured as the top pick in Apple Podcasts’ ‘New & Noteworthy’ section and has shot up to No 11 on the Apple India charts after debuting at No 24. Earlier this month, it was among the top picks in Spotify’s ‘News & Politics’ section.

    The All Indians Matter podcast is helmed by former journalist Ashraf Engineer and is presented by IdeaBrew Studios. It was launched on Independence Day eve this year. The podcast is a home for commentary and conversations with and about India on issues that matter.

    The podcast features commentary by Engineer – who held leadership positions in some of India’s top newsrooms and continues to write for various publications and platforms besides making radio appearances for international radio stations. It also features conversations with experts on issues ranging from the economy to agriculture, the media and everything in between.

    The weekly podcast has 16 published episodes already and is available on Spotify, JioSaavn, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Hubhopper. About 20% of its listenership is from countries other than India and 80% of the audience is between 18 and 30 years of age. The show has also seen steady subscriber growth across platforms since launch.

    “I launched www.allindiansmatter.in in early 2020 as a digital home for high-quality commentary on issues that matter to India. The idea was to explain how various events matter to citizens’ lives and why they should care about them. I was fortunate to receive the support of some veteran journalists and commentators, who contributed to the website. A few months later, IdeaBrew Studios suggested I extend the effort to a podcast – an idea that excited me,” said Engineer, who is now part of a strategic communication consultancy but retains his journalistic sensibility and links.

    Aditya Kuber, co-founder of IdeaBrew Studios, said: “Our studio is a digital-age storyteller. We present quality content across genres, from news commentary to sports and lifestyle. All Indians Matter is special because it was our first presentation and we couldn’t be happier with its success. Amid the media noise and clutter, audiences are craving content that truly makes sense of their world for them – especially in the audio format. So, there is space for quality commentary on current affairs and national issues. Engineer, with his journalism background of nearly two decades in media organisations, has the right credentials for it. That it’s working is evident in the way audiences – especially the young – are taking to the podcast and also in the recognition the platforms are giving it.”
