In this episode, we had the chance to talk to our youngest guest so far - Maithili Appalwar, CEO of Avana - about India's foreboding water crisis, the plight of our farmers, the privilege gap between urban and rural issues, and how social entrepreneurship helps solve some of our most unprecedented problems. Listen to us talk about her company, Avana, which develops affordable technologies to help Indian farmers break out of the vicious cycle of poverty, her journey from engineering school to local activism, and the importance of youth action in India's rural crises.
