  • New Path (Finale)
    14 Oct 2026

    Vikram Mehta sits at his desk with a notebook open to a fresh page. One heading at the top: IRVAAS — A Guide for Others to Follow. In the season finale, we watch what happens when a method discovered by accident becomes something that can be taught on purpose.

    For the sales heads, Chief Revenue Officers, and Learning and Development leaders listening — this episode speaks directly to you. About the top performer on your team whose deals close in ways nobody can quite explain. About why a two-day workshop will not replicate what they do. And about what it actually looks like to embed a method, not just run a training event about one.

    Ten episodes. One story. Six letters: Illuminate. Reframe. Validate. Architect. Activate. Solidify. Season 1 is complete.

  • The Strategist in the Making
    7 Oct 2026

    Vikram has spent his entire career doing things instinctively in client rooms that he could never quite explain to anyone else.


    His win rate was good. His relationships were strong. But if you asked him to teach what he did, to break it into steps someone else could follow, he would not have known where to start.


    Until Aisha Khan, Head of Sales Enablement, pulls him into a meeting room and asks: walk me through everything you did with Zenith. From the very beginning.


    In this episode, IRVAAS gets a name. A pilot gets launched. And Rina, the most product-focused salesperson on the team, asks the question that comes up in every IRVAAS workshop Prashant has ever run.


    When do we actually talk about our products?

  • Solidify: Why Closing Is the Wrong Word
    30 Sep 2026

    Sales training has a word it loves above almost all others.

    Close

    And Vikram is about to discover why that word might be the source of more lost deals than almost anything else in B2B sales.

    In this episode, the Zenith contract is on the table. Zenith's CEO Mr. Deshmukh is in the room for the first time. Sharp, thorough, and not there for a warm conversation.

    But something unexpected happens. The people Vikram spent seven episodes understanding, listening to, and building with, become his advocates in the room he cannot control.

    This is Solidify. The final letter of IRVAAS. Not a finish line. A starting line.

    And it ends with Mr. Deshmukh saying something Vikram will not forget.
