We sat with Tarun Mor, Founder of CoKarma, in the very first

English episode of Kaushik & Co., and what he shared, we didn't expect.

Tarun didn't plan CoKarma. He came back from Melbourne, one of

the best cities in the world to live in, left a good-paying job,

and moved back to India to chase something he believed in.

He just needed a place to work close to home.

So he built one. 40 seats. Nothing fancy.

The tech startup he actually came back for?

It didn't work out. But that little 40-seater?

Ran full. Doubled it. Filled again in 13 days.

In this episode we talk about:

How CoKarma started by complete accident

The dining table conversation with his mom that changed everything

Going from 40 seats to 4,200 seats across 13 locations

Why he left Melbourne, rated best city in the world, to come back

What the WeWork crash actually did to the co-working industry

Why he doesn't believe in calling his team a "family"

What it really takes to become an entrepreneur

And where CoKarma is headed next

have picked a better person to start with.

out their next move, this one is for you.

.In this episode, Kaushik sits down with Chari, a sports content creator & commentator at Star Sports Telugu, for one of the most honest and fun conversations about Telugu sports culture, IPL fandom, and what it really means to love the game.From watching SRH highlights in every language after a win, to the deep-rooted hero worship in Telugu states, to the father-son bond built entirely over sports this one hits different. What's inside this episode:→ Why do Telugu people have such intense hero worship in sports?→ What is Chari's post-match routine when SRH wins (or loses)?→ Does Star Sports Telugu have a bias toward SRH?→ How did a sports-mad dad shape Chari's entire worldview?→ Is Telugu podcasting finally having its moment?→ Deccan Chargers nostalgia & the SRH loyalty that never leftWhether you're an SRH fan, an RCB fan, or just a Telugu person confused about which team to support you'll relate to every second of this conversation.🔔 Subscribe to Kaushik & Co and hit the bell icon!Follow Chari: Chari not sorry : / @charinotsorry Locker room : / @itslockerroom Charan instagram : / charinotsorry Follow Kaushik & Co: Kaushik & co : / kaushikandcoshow Kaushik Nc : / kaushiknc Kathanika Media : / kathanikamedia #KaushikAndCo #IPL2025 #SRH #TeluguPodcast #Chari #StarSportsTelugu #TeluguCricket #IPLFandom #TeluguContent
