Questions, answered

Everything you wanted to know

New to Founder's Adda? Here's the lowdown on the show, the stories, and how to follow along.

What is Founder's Adda?

Founder's Adda is a Hindi/Hinglish business and entrepreneurship podcast by Cubicles Coders. We sit down with real founders for honest, unfiltered conversations — asli kahaniyan, asli founders — covering how they started, what broke along the way, and how they actually grew.

Think of “adda” the way it's meant: a hangout where people swap real stories. That's the energy we bring to every episode.

Is the podcast in Hindi or English?

It's Hinglish — the way founders actually talk. Conversations flow naturally between Hindi and English, so whether you're more comfortable in one or the other, you'll follow along easily.

Who is Founder's Adda for?

Aspiring founders, early-stage entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, students, and anyone curious about how businesses really get built in India. If you've ever wondered what happens between the idea and the success story, this is your show.

What kind of topics do you cover?

Startup journeys, fundraising and bootstrapping, sales and marketing, building teams, product, failures and comebacks, side hustles, scaling, and the mindset behind it all. Real founders, real playbooks — no recycled gyaan.

How often do new episodes come out?

We publish new conversations regularly. The fastest way to never miss one is to follow on your platform of choice and turn on notifications — YouTube, Spotify, Telegram, or the WhatsApp channel all work.

Where can I watch or listen?

Everywhere. Watch full video episodes on YouTube, stream audio on Spotify, and get updates and clips on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Aratt. Pick whatever fits your routine.

Is Founder's Adda free?

Completely free. Every episode, every clip, every story — no paywall. Just follow and dive in.

Are the founders you interview real?

Yes. We feature genuine founders sharing their actual experiences — the wins, the setbacks, and the lessons in between. No scripts, no sugar-coating.

Can I suggest a founder or topic?

Absolutely. Drop us a message on any of our social channels or in the Telegram and WhatsApp communities. We read suggestions and love hearing who you want on the show next.

How do I join the community?

Join the Telegram group and the WhatsApp channel for episode drops, behind-the-scenes notes, and discussion. The links are in the Community and Subscribe sections above.

Will following on YouTube help the show?

A lot. Subscribing, liking, and sharing on YouTube is the single biggest thing you can do to help more founders' stories reach more people. It's free and takes two seconds.

Do I need a business to get value from this?

Not at all. Plenty of listeners are still at the idea stage — or just curious. The point is to learn how things really work before you need it.

Can I be a guest on Founder's Adda?

If you're a founder with a story worth telling, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out through any of our social handles and tell us a bit about your journey.

Is this connected to Cubicles Coders?

Yes — Founder's Adda is a Cubicles Coders production. It's our way of giving back to the founder community we work with every day.

What makes Founder's Adda different?

No filters, no fluff, no theory you could Google. Just honest founder conversations in the language you think in — the real version of the story behind every ₹0 to ₹1 Cr journey.
