Mumbai: CashKaro & EarnKaro founder couple Swati and Rohan Bhargava have launched their new ‘BAD’ podcast featuring inspiring stories of real people who have turned their financial dreams into a thriving reality through affiliate marketing. The podcast series seeks to transform the meaning of “BAD” from its typical negative connotation into a term of empowerment by giving it a new definition – Be A Dreamer.
The debut season of the ‘BAD’ Podcast focuses on people who are earning Lakhs every month, often above RS 15 lakhs, just by sharing their deal links on Telegram groups and harnessing the potential of affiliate marketing using EarnKaro.
The first episode of the ‘BAD’ Podcast features two remarkable affiliate marketers, Vishal and Ritik, who have broken through financial limitations to create a solid income stream. Emerging from humble backgrounds, Vishal and Ritik now achieve consistent monthly earnings of over INR 10 lakhs using the EarnKaro platform. During the episode, they share their intriguing personal stories, discuss how affiliate marketing has been pivotal to their success, and share valuable insights for those aiming to improve their lives and reach their financial goals. Their stories are relatable and highlight the potential of affiliate marketing to bring life-changing opportunities to everyday people.
Vishal and Ritik are part of the growing Telegram Influencer community, where they utilize EarnKaro’s special Automation feature (also called EarnKaro Magic Tool) to keep their follower base informed of the most lucrative deals as they come out real-time. By leveraging the EarnKaro Magic Tool, they can effortlessly convert regular product links into affiliate links, which are automatically posted on their channels. This automation allows them to focus on growing their community and driving sales without the hassle of manually managing each link.
Sharing her vision for the podcast, Bhargava said, “Our vision for the ‘BAD’ Podcast is to bring forward incredible stories of achieving financial freedom and therefore, ignite a spark in every aspiring dreamer, especially those from smaller towns across India. As I met Telegrammers who are earning over INR 10 Lakhs a month, I was super impressed with how they have leveraged Affiliate Marketing to create this new financial reality for themselves, which is beyond what one could have imagined a few years ago! These stories are enthralling, creative, and will leave you inspired and happy about the endless possibilities we have to change the course of our lives! “
Vishal, one of the featured guests, expressed his gratitude, “I never thought my story would resonate with so many people. EarnKaro has given me a platform to pursue my dreams, and now, the ‘BAD’ Podcast lets me share that journey with others. I hope my journey can inspire someone to take that first step towards their dreams. If I could take that leap and turn dreams into reality, then trust me – – anyone can.”

Three senior OpenAI infrastructure executives join Meta
Key members of Stargate project move to rival amid aggressive AI spending race.
MUMBAI: Three key architects of OpenAI’s ambitious data centre plans have switched sides and joined Meta Platforms, according to people familiar with the matter. Peter Hoeschele, who played a central role in OpenAI’s high-profile Stargate initiative, is among the new hires. He is joined by Shamez Hemani, who focused on computing strategy and business development, and Anuj Saharan, another leader in the computing organisation. The Information first reported their departure from OpenAI on Thursday.
The moves come as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has pledged to spend aggressively on AI infrastructure. The company is projecting capital expenditure of up to $135 billion this year alone, with hundreds of billions more expected before the end of the decade to support its Meta Superintelligence Labs and new models such as Muse Spark.
OpenAI, which is pushing ahead with massive data centre expansion, had described its early lead in securing computing power as a competitive advantage. Stargate, originally announced last year as a $500 billion venture involving OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, has since become an umbrella term for the company’s broader data centre ambitions. However, the project has seen recent adjustments, including a pause on its UK plans and the decision not to expand the Abilene, Texas site.
A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment, while Hoeschele, Hemani, and Saharan also declined to comment. OpenAI said it was grateful for the contributions of the three employees and remains focused on hiring talent for its infrastructure plans. The company recently brought in former Intel executive Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute efforts.
In the high-stakes race to build the future of artificial intelligence, talent is proving to be as valuable as computing power itself. Meta’s latest hires suggest the competition for top infrastructure minds is intensifying, even as OpenAI continues to scale its own ambitious projects. The move highlights how quickly the AI talent war is heating up across Silicon Valley.
