Choosing a Different Career (and Owning It).
Hi everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Modern Malayali!
For many Malayalis, career decisions don’t just belong to us, they are decisions weighed down by family expectations, reputation, and approval.
While all careers are equally worth pursuing, we all know in Malayali families, some careers are celebrated and encouraged over others.
In this episode of Modern Malayali, Anu shares her journey of choosing HR and Events Management as a career path despite facing doubt and criticism.
We talk about the common misconceptions around ‘non-traditional’ careers, and the reality that sometimes your work is only respected once there’s a ‘big name’ attached to it, like British Airways.
Anu shares some advice and insight on navigating the external pressures and how she stayed true to what she really wanted to do.

About the Modern Malayali podcast:
Have you ever wondered how other Malayalis live their lives outside of Kerala?
I have. I've always been curious about how other Malayalis navigate their culture while living very modern, Western lives. I’m talking about the influence our culture has had on the decisions and choices we've made — from choosing a career path to choosing a life partner, from how we talk about mental health to how we spend our free time.
This is a podcast where Malayalis from all over the world can connect and share stories. We’re all in this together, and I’m sure many of us have had similar experiences.
Hopefully, one of these episodes will inspire or reassure you that you're not alone in this.
