This episode of Perspective Platoon features Shivangi Suvarna, whom I had performed with as a kid a few times while I lived in the Middle East. I hadn't spoken to her for over a decade before chatting for this podcast, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to do so. Shivangi is an aspiring fashion designer based in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. We talked about her interests in the field of fashion and her journey in the industry.

Perspective Platoon is a show to share stories, understand intricacies, and break boundaries! Join Prateek Shetty, as he dives deep into the background of random human beings and finds what binds us together and makes us a platoon of different perspectives.
Random Relatability is a channel birthed with the idea of seeking relatability in a world of differences. As social media and mainstream news media are turning into juggernauts of polarization, Random Relatability aims to create a platform that celebrates the differences in thought processes and cherishes the things that make us all human.
