New Delhi, June 2026
A new business podcast titled Built to Last, hosted by Siddhartha Havelia, has officially launched with a focus on entrepreneurship, long-term business building, startup advice, and practical business growth strategies.
The podcast explores the realities behind scaling companies, managing uncertainty, building sustainable organizations, and making decisions that shape businesses over time. Through in-depth conversations with founders, operators, investors, and industry leaders, the series focuses on the experiences and challenges that rarely get discussed in traditional founder interviews.
A Business Podcast Focused on Real Execution
Unlike conventional interview formats that focus only on success stories, Built to Last dives into the systems, failures, operational decisions, and real business challenges behind building companies that survive long term.
Each episode combines practical startup advice with experience-driven discussions around scaling teams, handling financial pressure, navigating uncertainty, managing growth, and building organizations designed to last beyond market cycles.
The podcast is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, operators, and business leaders looking for grounded insights rather than motivational soundbites or “overnight success” narratives.
Founder Stories Built Around Long-Term Thinking
A central theme across the business podcast is the belief that successful companies are built through consistency, adaptability, execution, and long-term thinking rather than short-term momentum.
Through detailed founder stories, the series explores how entrepreneurs make difficult decisions, recover from setbacks, manage growth, and build businesses capable of sustaining themselves through changing economic and market conditions.
The podcast also examines the business growth strategies and operational frameworks that help companies scale while maintaining long-term stability.
A Different Approach to the Business Podcast Landscape
As interest in entrepreneurship and business content continues to grow globally, Built to Last enters the business podcast space with a more experience-driven and execution-focused approach.
Rather than focusing purely on outcomes, the series emphasizes the thinking, discipline, and operational decisions behind long-term business success.
The podcast is hosted by Siddhartha Havelia, Co-Founder of Mercurius Advisory Services, a global accounting and tax advisory firm operating across 50+ countries. With over two decades of working experience across PwC, Grant Thornton, American Express, and building Mercurius Advisory Services from scratch, Siddhartha brings firsthand insight into business operations, financial strategy, entrepreneurship, and scaling international organizations.
