But recently, I’ve started feeling it’s important to know the basics at least, which is when Krishna started helping me out,” says Athawasya, a financial analyst, who met Krishna at an event three years ago. “We checked with our close friends and acquaintances who also felt a podcast would be a great way for them to learn as well,” he adds.
