Divas Gupta's course to help you speak clearly and with confidence - https://divasgupta.in/AOEC-YTD
In OMG with Divas Gupta (EP101), political analyst and commentator Tehseen Poonawalla joins for a hard-hitting conversation on the reality of Rahul Gandhi, the legacy of the Congress party, and the politics that have shaped modern India.
From Rahul Gandhi’s public image battles and media narratives to the impact of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and his struggles as a political leader, Tehseen breaks down what really drives the Gandhi family’s political journey. The episode takes us deep into history — from Nehru’s role in Independence and Partition to allegations that Congress was behind India-Pakistan separation.
We also confront the Congress scams, including the 2G controversy and Nuclear Deal debates, while exposing how bureaucracy, corruption, and dynastic politics continue to shape India’s democracy. The discussion goes beyond politics — into vote bank divisions, nepotism in films & business, Ram Rajya in Indian culture, technology, AI, taxation, and the struggles of India’s middle class.
Packed with rapid-fire takes on leaders like Modi, Rahul, Priyanka, Mamata, insights into India-Pakistan cricket diplomacy, trolling, security, astrology, and Indian traditions — this episode goes beyond headlines to reveal the truths, controversies, and human side of Indian politics.
This is one of the most candid and unfiltered episodes yet — a deep dive into Congress, corruption, leadership, and the future of Indian democracy.

👨🏻💻 WHO AM I:
Like (almost) every Indian, I am an engineer turned MBA, but super proud of the journey.
Founded a company, went broke, tweaked things, hustled, made millions within months, and above all, impacted 700,000 lives from across 14+ countries. I was never the confident, dynamic and enterprising individual that the world sees me today.
Yes! It has been an exciting journey - From being a shy, introverted child who could not even speak his name properly, forget about speaking a sentence, to someone today who, as an International Public Speaking Coach, helps thousands of individuals optimise their communication skills and speak better.
With my roots in Dehradun, I owe my academic strength to Brightlands School, which has instilled deep-rooted values in me. These values have helped me serve my students and followers by adding more value to their lives.
My two years at IIM Kashipur studying management helped me grow my company and create a global footprint as a coach. In the last 10 years of success and learning, I realised the power of doing rather than just thinking.
Today, I am a summation of what I did and who I spent my time with. I am really excited to serve you through my learning.
