Gold has always been a symbol of security in India but rarely of productivity. In this episode, we sit down with Amol Bansal, Founder of MyGold, to unpack why billions worth of household gold remains inactive and how that narrative is beginning to change.

Amol shares his thinking behind building MyGold, a platform designed to bring structure, access, and efficiency to gold ownership without breaking the trust and traditions associated with it. The conversation explores how gold can move beyond lockers, why earning returns in gold weight changes the economics entirely, and what it means to modernize an asset that Indians deeply value.

The episode also dives into real-world moments where access matters more than valuation including situations where gold becomes immediate liquidity when traditional systems slow down. Along the way, Amol challenges widely held beliefs about gold, including perspectives popularized by global investors like Warren Buffett.

This is not just a discussion about investing. It’s about behavior, trust, technology, and the future of gold in India.

Watch till the end to understand how gold can stay traditional and still work like modern finance.

What if global shipping could move more cargo without bigger ships, deeper ports, or complex technology?

In this episode of Impact [X] Studios, we speak with Nilesh Sompura, founder of Shallow Waterways, who is rethinking the fundamentals of shipping and logistics.

With decades of hands-on experience across Indian ports, Nilesh introduces two breakthrough ideas:

A ship-inside-a-ship (double floating hull) design that can increase cargo capacity by up to 30%, especially in shallow waters like rivers and inland waterways.

A hexagon-shaped container system, arranged in a honeycomb structure, that delivers 10% more cargo capacity purely through geometry without electronics, hydraulics, or complex automation.

If you’re a founder, investor, policymaker, or logistics professional, this episode will completely change how you think about shipping infrastructure.

Watch till the end for insights on why sometimes geometry beats innovation.
