The other day, I was in a room of people discussing personal finance, and Zerodha founder Nitin Kamath was a guest. Now, I know that he is super candid and I have read and watched his interviews, but to hear him live talking about money, and to get to ask him a question, was amazing,” says Nikhil Jois. The entrepreneur and techie is currently working on a start up, and was until last year the co-founder of Eventosaur, before he sold it. 

Jois wasn’t at a TED talk or a literary festival. He was at home, on his phone, logged on to the new app, Clubhouse. Only available to iPhone users for now, Clubhouse is exactly how it sounds—an exclusive, invite-only, voice-only social platform, where members are having exciting, useful and intellectual conversations. It has managed to move the venue from treehouses and dingy basements to the phone.
