What Happened To Japanese Products? | ThisConnect S0E02
The Japanese dominated the world in quality and products in the 1970s and 1980s. But lately, their products lag behind the norm in India and they don't appear to have a strategy that works towards the changing needs of Indian car and motorcycle buyers. On ThisConnect season 2, episode two, Kartikeya and Shumi are talking about how this incredible country and culture lost its way. And what's the solution.

The Last Episode | ThisConnect Season 01 Ep 20
Episode 20 marks the end of the first Season of #ThisConnect, our #podcast. For the past 5 months, we've loved interacting with you in the comments' stream. So for this episode we decided to pick two comments from each episode that really made us think. These are your comments and this is what Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi are thinking on those topics.

It's a long episode, three times the normal size, so we've broken the chapters into "questions" and "answers". Do feel free to skip ahead if you like. And we do have questions for you at the end (in the last chapter). We would like to hear from you! Thank you so much for watching! We're super thrilled you all have enjoyed ThisConnect so much! We hope to see you on Season 2, very soon!

Customer Reviews
It’s so good!
This is my go-to podcast for automotive information. It’s so good that I am coming back to some episodes to remember pointers and experiences that I need to keep in mind while suggesting my friends and family
Best motor podcast ever!
Informative and fun. Been a ThisConnect listener since its inception and it has never disappointed. Must listen podcast for any motor enthusiast.
Love the new approach
This new clutter free, right down to the basics, simple approach on the motoring industry is quite an idea which brings you out of the chaotic content from the regular automotive channels.
A great listen and a definite recommendation for everyone who loves to ride or drive or aspires to.
