The biggest pitfall of fame isn’t ego — it’s outsourcing your decisions. As creators start gaining visibility, something unexpected happens: Everyone suddenly has an opinion on what they should or shouldn’t do. Managers, friends, acquaintances… People you haven’t heard from in years. Snehiil Dixit Mehra puts it simply: “If someone starts making decisions for me, half the things I’ve done in life wouldn’t exist.” Recognition feels great — People calling you, praising you, saying “I saw your episode!” But that rush can be dangerous. Because the moment you start believing “I’ve arrived,” you stop taking risks. You stop being original. You stop being you. Her message is clear: Fame is temporary. Your voice is permanent — if you protect it. A powerful reminder for creators, founders, and anyone building in public: Stay grounded. Own your decisions. Don’t let noise become your compass. #SnehiilDixitMehra #CreatorEconomy #Leadership #PersonalBranding #PodcastInsights

Shoes used to be about comfort. Today, they’re about identity. Arjun Singh, Co-founder of Gully Labs, breaks down something most brands miss: Sneakers have climbed to the top of Maslow’s hierarchy. We don’t buy them for utility anymore — we buy them for meaning. “We wear sneakers for signalling. For self-actualisation. For the story, the journey, the taste.” Think about it: We want to know who else is wearing them, what the brand stands for, and why this pair reflects who we are. Gully Labs builds for that emotion — sneakers rooted in Indian narratives, culture and identity. Not just products, but statements. In a world where taste is identity, sneakers have become one of the strongest signals we carry. #GameRoomPodcast #ArjunSingh #GullyLabs #BrandBuilding #SneakerCulture #MadeInIndia #ConsumerPsychology

Code can scale. Processes can scale. But people? People need leadership. In our conversation, Arjun Singh (Co-founder, Gully Labs) shared one of the most underrated truths about building a company: “Finding the best people, enabling them, motivating them — that is the biggest strength a company can have.” Hiring isn’t mechanical. It’s not like writing code where the logic is clear. It’s deeply human. You have to: – Spot potential – Wait for the right timing – Coach the ones who aren’t ready yet – Empower those who can grow – Replace when you must, support when you should And you have to keep doing it… constantly. Because once you build a team that is aligned, motivated and moving in the same direction — you become almost unbeatable. Culture isn’t a poster. It’s how leaders treat their people. #GameRoomPodcast #ArjunSingh #GullyLabs #LeadershipDevelopment #PeopleFirst #TeamBuilding #StartupCulture

The most powerful career skill isn’t strategy. It’s clarity. In our conversation, Arjun Singh (Co-founder, Gully Labs) shared why no external advice — not mentors, not books, not even successful leaders — can truly answer your career questions. “My advice is valid for my lived experience. You need to do the self-work to understand who you are.” He breaks down the real introspection every professional needs: – Do you want a great career or a comfortable job? – Are you ambitious, or are you forcing yourself to be? – Do you have obligations that shape your decisions? – Do you want speed or stability? – What are you trying to prove… and to whom? Clarity isn’t a motivational hack. It’s the foundation of every decision you make — opportunities you chase, opportunities you decline, and the life you quietly build. Until you know your “why,” every “how” will feel confusing. #GameRoomPodcast #ArjunSingh #GullyLabs #CareerClarity #SelfReflection #LeadershipDevelopment #FounderMindset

Why does Gully Labs exist? Because nothing like it existed in the first place. In our latest episode, Arjun Singh (Co-founder, Gully Labs) shares the simple but powerful idea behind the brand: “We make comfortable, everyday sneakers inspired by India — our stories, our streets, our culture.” Gully Labs wasn’t built as another fashion label. It was built to fill a gap: Sneakers that look global but feel Indian in their narrative. Products men can wear daily while expressing identity and pride. Arjun puts it perfectly — for most guys, shoes matter more than anything else in their wardrobe. And yet, no one was building sneakers that represented us. Gully Labs stepped into that space. Not just making footwear, but making culture wearable. #GameRoomPodcast #ArjunSingh #GullyLabs #BrandBuilding #MadeInIndia #FounderJourney
