Galata
Galata is a word from the Indian language Kannada that means the noise caused by a ruckus. This podcast is about starting up while we are still in college. Testing ideas, creating a team, building something worthwhile and adding value to other people’s lives. Join us as we discuss the thrill of earning your first buck, tackling uncertainties, overcoming obstacles and delighting others. Most of all, Galata is about seeing, understanding and implementing so you can deliver on your audacious promise.
