"We tried too early on to push our stuff out there to the bigger people — like the ones you mentioned [Netflix and Amazon]. It quickly turned into a ‘no,’ but I think with the success of the shows and us doing it on our own kind of proved to me that we can do this by ourselves"
"We don’t need to have anybody else, but we definitely tried, and it was a lot of ‘no’s.’ So I think that was the reason why we went and banked on ourselves [and] put all our money into it. So it’s just me and my own personal production company 4Lifers"
"That’s what I want to build. You ain’t gotta understand this. You have to surround yourself with good people and hardworking people that have the same vision as you"
"It was a collaborative approach on the creative where they gave me the freedom to interject personalities from my world into the content, which helped to organically connect the two spaces. It was entertaining to play various school characters while highlighting SNIPES in a fresh way. I look forward to continued work with SNIPES as they’ve shown they are authentic and true to the culture"

"A smart thing you can do is try to build your own IP and try to build your own business around you"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
