StartUp Winter, Lady Gaga VS Skims, & Patreon's Creator Survey

Think Fast with Varun and Suchita

In this week's episode of Think Fast, hosts Varun & Suchita begin by telling us about Ather Energy securing funding, Apple's latest hire- an ex-Ford employee, some more Elon Musk, First Cry delaying their IPO, and how White Hat Jr's employees quit on being called to the office.

Further, Suchita deep dives into the rise of Athleisure and its foray into sub-segments like activewear, Tennis wear, and so on, the Sneakers market and how it's been growing and attracting not just the millennials but the older folks as well, how Jens and Emma Grede have been accelerating Celebrity led brands including the likes of the Kardashians, and Lady Gaga relaunching her own brand after a tryst with bad timing and decisions.

Varun looks at a creator survey led by Patreon and its interesting insights, the peak of Start-up winter with brands like Swiggy, Zomato, and Meesho slowing down to conserve cash, and Instagram's foray into NFTs.

Tune in for all this and more.
