| 0:00.0 | Namaskaram and good morning to everyone. |
| 0:07.0 | What a fantastic day on the 73 public day to be with all of you and this is also a sort of fan moment for me. |
| 0:15.0 | No, it's a great honor for me to be interviewing you, not interviews, sorry, in the in conversation. |
| 0:24.0 | Welcome to everybody. |
| 0:26.0 | Well, this is the first time I'm doing this, so if there are any lapses, I hope you'll excuse me. |
| 0:32.0 | It's a great honor for me to be personally in conversation with Satguru. |
| 0:37.0 | Like Vivek said, I'm also a big fan. |
| 0:40.0 | Even though I've just met him probably once before at a cricket match, we've been watching his videos. |
