📝 Episode Description
☕ Way before #CoffeeContent was a trend and everyone was brewing for the ’gram — a handful of homebrewers made history.
This is the story of a rogue crew who ran India’s first homebrewed specialty café bar for a day at Blue Tokai, Delhi — no brand backing, just passion, skill, and a vision.

Let's get in to it.
Hi!
My name is Informal Shaurmal. I am the informalest, most brutally honest content creator in the world.
I was fortunate enough to buy an iPhone. Not only that, I was India's first owner of an iPhone 13 Pro Max 1 TB, Alpine Green edition (yes I have receipts) & I decided to share an unboxing video paying homage to it's content creation abilities guided by some famous Indian Content Creators.
This conversation is the FIRST episode of the INFORMAL podcast, formerly known as informal with shaurmal or the IWS Podcast.
@jayansamirverma6770 is a global higher education consultant turned apple technology power user and shares some MAJOR UX concerns with India's growing usage of these expensive silicon chip based utility drivers like MacBooks and I-phones.
