2025 is turning out to be quite the year. After a tumultuous January, February was just as eventful. Tune in as Ankita and Apoorva recap the top three events from the world of work and then some more.

Also - March happens to be the birthday month for one of the hosts and they have an ask. So settle in for the best one yet. We’re back!!
