Kindness with Amy

In this explosive episode of Kindness With Amy, we are joined by 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 - one of India’s most fearless and sharp-witted stand-up comedians, a former radio writer and voice-over artist who spent nearly two decades behind the mic before becoming a recognized face on stage and YouTube. Known for his bold viewpoints and unfiltered honesty, Sandeep brings a perspective few artists dare to voice publicly.

Sundeep opens up about the 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝, questions why India facing rape, unemployment, underfunded hospitals and overflowing wards keeps insisting that s𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 “𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦,” 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭.

He reflects on the 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐚, exposes how animal sacrifice and tradition continue unchecked in many communities, and shares his own shift away from meat after learning how doctors often give incomplete nutrition advice. He even speaks about what emotional repression in Indian men is really doing to society and why violence toward animals is never isolated violence.

Raw, bold, emotional, and unsettling, this conversation forces us to ask: 𝐈𝐟 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨? 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨?

With raw honesty, she exposes the harsh realities that many hesitate to speak about the 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐞𝐠𝐨-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that often overshadow genuine compassion in animal welfare organizations.

As the conversation unfolds, @manavi.rai.7 shares her firsthand experiences, revealing how many long-established NGOs have drifted far from their founding mission. She talks about trustees who treat these organizations as their personal property, where decisions are influenced more by politics and pride than by empathy and purpose. Amy and her guest peel back the layers of illusion to show how the very institutions built to serve animals sometimes end up serving their leaders instead.The discussion dives deep into the emotional side of activism, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝, and the courage it takes to question unethical practices in spaces meant for kindness.

We live in a world where animals scream and we scroll.

Where kindness feels "feminine".

And happiness? A marketing campaign.

In this episode, Robin Singh — the man behind Peepal Farm, India’s most honest animal rescue and vegan farm — talks about:

🐄 Why empathy is dying (and why we let it)

🌱 What real happiness looks like beyond consumerism

🔥 How kindness can be rebellion in a cruel world

💭 The spiritual emptiness behind “doing good” for social media

❤️ And why saving animals might just be saving ourselves.

Robin Singh is the founder of Peepal Farm, a rescue and recovery centre for injured and abandoned animals in Himachal Pradesh that doubles as a hub for conscious living and social impact. Before dedicating his life to compassion work, Robin was a successful tech entrepreneur — he founded E-junkie, a platform that helped creators sell digital goods easily. After years in the tech world, he sold his business and began searching for more meaningful work, eventually realising that his purpose lay in reducing suffering — for both humans and animals.In 2014, Robin and his partner Shivani Singh built Peepal Farm from the ground up in Dhanotu village near Dharamshala. The farm is run on a simple philosophy: “Do less harm, do more good, and influence others to do the same.” It’s not just an animal rescue centre — it’s a social experiment in sustainable living. Every structure is built with mud and salvaged materials, the team grows their own food, and everything, from the food they cook to the products they sell, is vegan and cruelty-free. The farm sustains itself through community stays, donations, and the sale of homemade goods, all while creating employment for local villagers.Today, Peepal Farm has become a symbol of compassionate entrepreneurship in India. Robin’s straightforward honesty, tech-sharp problem-solving mindset, and raw storytelling have inspired millions online to rethink their relationship with animals and consumption. His journey — from software founder to animal rescuer — is less about escape and more about alignment: building a life that reflects his values. As Robin often says, “The goal isn’t to save the world — it’s to make sure the world is a little less cruel because you existed.”#RobinSingh #PeepalFarm #Happiness #Podcast #VeganPodcast #AmyAela #KindnesswithAmy

India is not lacking in money. It’s lacking in access. In trust. In fairness. The richest 1% own more than 40% of India’s wealth. The bottom 50% hold just 3%.Women earn only 63 paise for every rupee a man makes. 63 million Indians are pushed into poverty every year … just from healthcare costs.So, how do we keep talking about aspirational India when half the country can’t afford to get sick?This podcast is the exposé the nation needs…hosted by two women unafraid to ask what went wrong and who benefits. Because real empowerment doesn’t come from slogans. It comes from ownership, of money, of choices, of dignity.Financial inclusion isn’t just about bank accounts, it’s about breaking the intergenerational cycles that keep people poor, invisible, and dependent. Social investment isn’t charity. It’s strategy. It’s how we channel capital into people, not just profits.This isn’t just about the economy. It’s about who it’s working for, and who it’s leaving behind.Vinita Bali, a boardroom icon who knows the inside of capitalism… and Smita Ram, the co-founder of Rang De, fighting to democratize credit from the grassroots up.OUR GUESTS🌟 Vinita BaliVinita Bali is a globally respected business leader best known for her transformative tenure as Managing Director of Britannia Industries, where she turned the company into a modern FMCG powerhouse. With senior roles at Coca-Cola and Cadbury across multiple continents, she has deep insight into how capitalism and big business operate at scale. Today, she sits on several global and Indian boards, from Syngene International to Smith & Nephew, and is a vocal advocate for women in leadership, inclusive growth, and ESG. Sharp, strategic, and fearless in her commentary, Vinita brings the boardroom perspective on wealth, power, and how India’s economic engine serves—or fails—its people.🌱 Smita RamSmita Ram is the Co-Founder of Rang De, India’s pioneering peer-to-peer lending platform that democratizes credit for underserved communities—farmers, women entrepreneurs, and microbusiness owners who are often excluded from traditional banking. Since 2008, Rang De has enabled thousands of low-income households to access affordable loans, shifting the narrative from charity to empowerment. With her strong grounding in community-driven solutions, Smita is a passionate advocate for financial inclusion as a right, not privilege, breaking cycles of poverty with dignity, ownership, and opportunity. She brings the grassroots lens to the conversation on inequality—one rooted in the lived realities of everyday India.#Inequality #Farmers #India #Finance #IndiaFinance #FinancialDisparity #livinginindia #RangDe #VinitaBali #AmyAela
