Description

Whisky Unfinished is an intimate podcast that blends exceptional Scotch whisky with authentic conversation. Hosted by Rickesh Kishnani, a serial entrepreneur and investor with nearly two decades of experience across technology, finance, and the whisky industry, each episode features one remarkable guest and four carefully curated drams.

The format is simple but powerful: no scripts, no predetermined narrative, just two people having a genuine conversation. Episodes explore the stories behind successful businesses, the realities of fundraising and investing, entrepreneurial journeys, cultural shifts reshaping industries, and the human side of building something meaningful.

Guests include founders, investors, business leaders, and visionaries from around the world. Topics range from building the world's first private equity whisky fund to conversations about gender, economics, and how different cultures approach business and commerce.

Each dram is selected intentionally—whether to mark a milestone, celebrate a success, or simply enhance the dialogue. The whisky is never incidental; it's part of the story.

Whisky Unfinished attracts an audience of entrepreneurs, investors, business professionals, and people curious about the stories behind the businesses shaping our world. If you value authentic conversation, genuine insights, and the kind of dialogue that only happens when you slow down and actually listen, this podcast is for you.

New episodes drop every Thursday at 6:00 PM HKT.
