Are you listening to our podcasts?

We want to highlight today more than just the text content on our website. For today, we'll talk about two of them.

Beyond what you read here inside the newsletters and on the site, we have few other places we'd love for you to check them out and give us feedback on.

First, we have a special 'Shivaji 350' quiz that's currently LIVE, exclusively on our mobile app.

• If you participate, you can win some cool goodies.

• This quiz is to celebrate the completion of 350 years since the grand coronation of Shivaji Maharaj, so it's a great time to participate and familiarise yourself with the theme of the quiz. Check it out here, if you haven't already.

We are also now doing podcasts every other day (if not everyday). This one's hosted by Diksha Yadav, and what it does?

• It isn't just about straightforward news discussion.

• Instead, we focus on digging into the second (and third) order impacts it has.

• You can listen to these podcasts on our app or on Spotify.

Check out out and let us know what you think!
