The voice behind
The Inside Scoop.

"Every interview teaches me something a classroom hasn't."

I'm Aaryan, a high school student who got a little too deep into business content. Ranveer Allahbadia and Think School India were the rabbit holes that started it. Content where you actually walk away knowing something. I figured I'd try having those conversations myself, with founders, builders, and yes, even fictional legends like Harvey Specter.

The Inside Scoop exists because I kept watching interviews where the host was too polished to ask anything real. The goals here are simple: learn something from every conversation, build something I can point to when I apply to McCombs, and give Gen Z founders the kind of attention that usually only goes to people who've already made it.

Most of this is selfish, honestly. Every interview teaches me something a classroom hasn't. But if someone listens and walks away with a new way of thinking, or finally starts the thing they've been sitting on, that's a good episode.

Why I Started

01LearnEvery interview teaches me something I didn't know. That's the main reason.
02BuildGen Z founders are doing interesting work. Most podcasts haven't noticed yet.
03McCombsI want something real to show — not a club list, but a podcast that's actually running.
04Pay it forwardIf one listener starts something they've been sitting on, that's a good episode.

04 / About the Podcast

Three kinds of episodes.
One show.

Every episode fits into one of these. All of them are worth your time.

What It's About

The Inside Scoop is where real conversations meet entrepreneurial fire. Every episode is a deep dive: a case study breaking down the Tinder vs. Bumble war, or a raw talk with someone who built a startup in a high school bathroom.

This podcast is built for thinkers, builders, and dreamers. Especially those who aren't afraid to start before they're ready.

From Gen Z founders to business legends (fictional and real), The Inside Scoop gets into what it actually takes to stand out, and what it means to lead with curiosity.

“Not just another podcast. This is The Inside Scoop.”

Business Breakdowns

No guest needed. China's $17 trillion economy, Tinder vs Bumble's decade-long war, the real playbook behind billion-dollar decisions. Short, sharp, worth the 6 minutes.

Founder Interviews

Conversations with people actually building things. High schoolers hitting 1M users, college kids disrupting test prep, researchers democratizing academia. No PR speak, no rehearsed answers.

Fiction Meets Hustle

Business lessons from stories that never happened. Harvey Specter. Characters who never existed but understand leverage, negotiation, and risk better than most real executives.
