Forty-eight episodes. Hundreds of guests. Endless banter between Rohin and Praveen.\nThis year, Two by Two covered stories from Bengaluru to the world including business, tech, and everything in between. We didn't just stick to the usual. We asked about people, trends, and the things others weren't paying attention to. We brought on guests who didn't rehearse their answers and tried to make sense of things as they happened.\nSome episodes turned out to be prescient. Some were messy. Some sparked arguments in our inbox. All of them tried to do what we set out to do: spot hidden connections, ask unasked questions, and figure out what's really going on.\nThis final episode is Rohin looking back at six moments from the year with clips from conversations that stood out. Between each one, he adds context and some behind-the-scenes perspective on why it mattered.\nHere are the episodes featured:\nEpisode 26: Zomato, Swiggy, and the rise of the 10-minute \"dark\" café\nEpisode 31: Airtel fights spammers. And Truecaller's business model\nEpisode 47: Who broke Bengaluru, and how do we fix our cities?\nEpisode 50: In an AI age, India does not have an open source strategy\nEpisode 51: The invisible whale that capsized India's leaky options boats\nEpisode 66: What will bring ambition back from the dead?\nTo everyone who listened, argued with us, sent guest suggestions, or just stuck around, thank you. Next year, we're coming back with everything that makes Two by Two what it is, but bigger and better. Maybe even a few surprises. Stay tuned.\nThere won't be an episode next Thursday. We will return on January 8th, 2026.\nSee you in the new year.\n________\nThis episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.\nIf you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, family and colleagues who would be interested in listening.
