Step 01 / Tell us your story

Pitch yourself for an episode

Send your name, number and the topic you want to talk about. Rupa reads these herself and comes back to you to agree an angle before anything is booked.

    Prefer email? Write to rupa@blackswanbss.com with the same details and the team will pick it up.

    Why come on the show

    Why book a podcast with Rupa

    Because one good conversation can do more than another hour of promotion. Rupa gives you the space to share what you know, tell the stories behind your decisions, and leave people with something worth remembering.

    01

    Brand visibility

    The show reaches founders, operators and investors across the GCC. An episode puts your business in front of people who are already building.

    02

    Market credibility

    Being interviewed at length is not advertising. It positions you as an operator with something worth hearing — and it holds up when someone looks you up.

    03

    Thought leadership

    Long-form means you can finish a thought. Say the thing that is too nuanced for a caption and let the reasoning show.

    04

    Marketing reach

    Every episode becomes assets you can use — the full conversation, clips and quotes your team can run with long after the recording.

    How it works

    Three steps to a recording

    No agency, no media pack. Guest slots start from AED 1,999 — then a short exchange and a date in the diary.

    1

    Tell us your story

    Your name, number and the topic you want to cover. A few lines is plenty — we are looking for the thing you know that most people do not.

    2

    We agree the angle

    A short call to shape the conversation so it is worth your time and the audience’s, then we lock a recording date.

    3

    We record

    In the studio at the Business Bay office. The episode goes out on YouTube, Spotify and Instagram, and you get the assets to use yourself.

    Before you pitch

    Good to know

    Does it cost anything to come on?
    Yes. A guest appearance on The Business Blueprint starts from AED 1,999. Guests are still chosen on whether the conversation is worth having, so tell us your story first and we will confirm the fit, the fee and a date. Terms and conditions apply.
    Where do you record?
    In the studio at the Business Bay office in Dubai — The Citadel Tower, offices 3701 and 3702. Everything is set up on site, so you only need to turn up.
    Where does the episode go out?
    YouTube, Spotify and Instagram, plus clips across the show’s channels. You are welcome to use the full episode and the clips in your own marketing.
    What makes a good pitch?
    Something specific you have actually done or decided — a market you entered, a model you changed, a mistake that cost you. Broad company overviews make weaker episodes than one concrete story told properly.
    Do I need to be a founder?
    No. The show features founders, specialists and operators. If you have depth in a subject that founders in this region need to understand, that works.

    Another way in

    Prefer to write first?

    If the form is not the right starting point, send your story through by email and the team will come back to you with next steps and a proposed recording date.
