Shantanu is a big inspiration for a new artist like me. Thanks for inviting him. Loved the podcast ❤️👍🏻

All engineers I I ow have said the same thing that engineering led them to depression & honestly it's not the fault of the field but the people who are part of this field i.e. professors, experienced employers, higher authorities who create enviornment around engineering Indian boys that they go into depression & finally they quit. Most of the engineers I know have turned into youtuber & entrepreneur. And engineering is just a reason but they all were blessed with this phase & same is with santanu.
