The Host
Navin Shetty didn't set out to build a media company
After a decade advising founders on go-to-market strategy across Dubai, Riyadh and Mumbai, Navin kept noticing the same gap: the most useful conversations he had happened off the record, over coffee, after the panel ended. The PowerTalk Show is that off-the-record conversation, recorded on purpose.
He hosts every episode himself — no rotating co-hosts, no outsourced pre-interviews. Guests get one rule going in: nothing is off-limits except numbers they’re legally required to keep private.
Under Business Talks Weekly, the show now anchors a small editorial operation producing written deep-dives, sponsor features and syndicated audio distributed across six platforms.
