Many celebrities who have created a stir in Silicon Valley and the entertainment world can be heard arguing over an audio app Clubhouse on social media. The Indian couple-Sriram Krishnan and Aarti Ramamurthy, the hosts of The Good Time Show, have easy access to many stalwarts.

In February, Elon Musk entered the clubhouse program after only one text message. He met Musk a few years ago at the headquarters of his company SpaceX. A week later, Mark Zuckerberg was discussing Augmented Reality technology on his show. He has worked for Zuckerberg's social media company.

1.75 lakh subscribers of Clubhouse in less than a year

The show, which started in December last year, has one lakh, 75 thousand subscribers. Its fans include well-known designers and businessmen such as singer Calvin Harris and Paris Hilton. Technology entrepreneurs on the show also discuss topics such as cryptocurrencies, human-robot relationships.

In the live show that runs three days a week, people are discussed in a friendly manner. As Krishnan explains, we tend to focus more on the person-centric theme. Aarti Ramamurthy says We get a lot of reactions from people starting their career in India or any other country.

Both their careers started with Microsoft

Sriram and Aarti were born in middle-class families in Chennai. Both of them met online while studying in college. Both previously worked at Microsoft. Then they got on Facebook. Sriram Krishnan held managerial positions at Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook and Snap. Now the value of the clubhouse is about 29 thousand crores. According to app analytics company Sensor Tower, the app became popular in February. At that time the show had 10 million downloads worldwide.

Musk and Zuckerberg appeared on the Good Time show that month. In April, this figure came down to 9 lakh. The Indian couple is not worried about the stiff competition from companies like Spotify and the headlines of the clubhouse collapsing. Aarti says if you look at Facebook 16 years ago and Twitter 12 years ago, it will be difficult to recognize them today. Then it has been barely a year since Club House started.
