90% of family wealth evaporates by the third generation. GV Keshav Reddy is building to beat those odds.

In this episode of Raw Talks With VK, we sit down with Keshav Reddy – scion of the GVK Group, one of India's most iconic infrastructure conglomerates behind the Bangalore and Mumbai Airports and the founder of Equal AI, an AI-powered assistant built to serve every Indian.

Keshav opens up about growing up inside a business empire, what the third-generation curse really feels like from the inside, and why he's betting his career on building digital infrastructure for a billion people.

In this episode:
– The real economics of how airports are built and bid for in India
– Why he founded Equal AI and his goal of 1 million daily active users
– His early investments in CRED and Upstox and what he saw before others did
– His personal philosophy: "Feet to the ground, eyes to the sky"
– How Transcendental Meditation and calendar discipline shape his decision-making
– His relationships with Nikhil Kamath, Nithin Kamath, and Kunal Shah
– How Mukesh Ambani and Elon Musk inspire

Whether you're building something from scratch or figuring out where to put your money – this conversation will give you boardroom perspectives and C-suite advice you won't find anywhere else.
