Announcing ‘The Kiruba Show’ – Beta Launch
I’m happy to announce the launch of my own show on PodTech.net. My podcast column, egoistically titled ‘The Kiruba Show’, will be about conversations with IT leaders and CEOs of leading IT companies.
The show has been in stealth mode for the last two months where I’ve been experimenting lots of techniques. I’ve produced close to 20 podcast episodes with leading newsmakers. You’ll find my shows in the India section. Each and every podcast interview has been an exciting experience and a huge learning opportunity. Whoever said, ‘Learning by doing is the best’ is so very right.
My show will primarily deal with interviewing CEOs of IT companies. Occasionaly, I’ll be looking at interviewing interesting personalities who have made a mark in the IT field. Here’s a quick synopsis.
Sujai Karampuri, CEO of Sloka Telecom, an upcoming company in the WiMax market.
Rohit Bansal, Director of ThoughtWorks – who hosted BarCampBangalore and a cool agile development company.
Vishal Gupta, Senior Director of Qualcomm India, about BREW Mobile Developers Conference
Dushyant Mehta, Founder & CEO of IndiaPicture, India’s biggest stock photography company
Kanwaldeep Kalsi, Founder & CEO of MeraVideo.com, India’s YouTube clone.
Rajjat Barjatya, Head of RajShri Media, who launched hindi movie VIVAH simultaneously on the Net. (He’s the brother of Sooraj Barjatya, Director of Hum Apke Hain Kaun and Maine Pyar Kiya)
Prerna Gupta, Founder & CEO of Yaari.com, on taking on Orkut in the Indian social networking space.

Ganesh Mandalam, CEO of Xerago, on challenges in starting a startup.
Rajesh Setty, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Chairman of CIGNEX Technologies.
This show will be part of the PodTech Network. Yup, its the same site that Robert Scoble, probably the world’s best known corporate blogger, has his own show. It’s called the Scoble Show. And oh,it’s also the place where Jason Calacanis, founder of Weblogs Inc and ex-CEO of Netscape, has his show called CalacanisCast.
This show will be in beta for the next two months. I’m looking for areas for improvement. So, when you listen to it and don’t like few things, please feel free to let me know. You can be be totally honest in giving me your feedback. I’m all ears.
Meanwhile if you’d like me to interview a specific CEO, please let me know as well.
