In this Telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Satish Babu Garu, senior journalist with over four decades of experience in Telugu media. Known for his fearless programmes Dharmapeetam and Journalist Diary, he takes us through untold stories, rare encounters, and unforgettable moments with towering leaders like NTR, YSR, KCR, Jayalalitha, Chandrababu Naidu, Nadendla Bhaskar Rao, Renuka Chaudhary, and others.

Produced with his own money, nearly ₹14 lakhs, Dharmapeetam became a landmark show at a time when private electronic media was just taking shape. Without fear or compromise, the show gave a way to ask the questions no one else dared to. From delicate issues to personal truths, the programme redefined Telugu journalism.

He recalls his powerful memories with NTR, the journey from Gemini office to Dharmapeetam in NTR’s favorite Maruti 800, the leader’s habit of never using black ink, and the heartfelt appreciation he received after the show. The episode, shot in October and telecast on January 15th, became historic. A few days later, on January 18th, 1996, NTR passed away suddenly, making that telecast one of the last candid conversations with the legendary leader.

Satish Babu also shares insider perspectives on YSR’s meteoric rise--how TV amplified his popularity, why his death triggered an emotional wave across Andhra Pradesh, and the rare culture of devotion that led to suicides after his passing. He highlights the role of media in building leaders, and the personal connection his own family felt during that time.

From Jayalalitha’s humiliation in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and her vow to become CM, to Chandrababu Naidu’s bomb blast episode, Satish Babu analyzes how leaders face crises, and what journalists must learn from such moments. He recalls the attack on IPS Umesh Chandra, naxalite encounters, and the balance required to report injustice on both sides.

The podcast then travels into the Telangana agitation: KCR’s hunger strike, the Million March at Tank Bund, and the role of electronic media in intensifying the movement. Satish Babu reflects on why movements succeed, when they lose control, and why KCR eventually faced defeat after a decade of power.

Beyond politics, we see Satish Babu the person; camera-shy, preferring to stay behind the scenes, sometimes battling alcohol, yet brutally honest about its effect on his career. He opens up about facing hate comments, accusations of bias, corruption allegations, and why a journalist’s job is to reveal truth regardless of party lines.

Drawing inspiration from Karan Thapar’s fearless interviewing style, he explains the difference between seeing and truly observing. From covering disturbing bomb culture stories in Kadapa, to calling Justice Waghray directly for NTR’s case while still in his twenties, to recording voices of constables in Adilabad encounters, Satish Babu’s career shows what fearless journalism looks like.

Along the way, he remembers unusual incidents: a temple shut down after Dalit entry, Gandhi Hospital negligence case, his first computer bought with a 1-lakh loan (20 MB hard disk, 2 MB RAM), and acting cameos in films like Ganesh and Yatra.

In this episode, Satish Babu also talks about family, women’s role in his life, profit vs. principles in journalism, and advice for the next generation of creators. For him, contributions may feel “negligible,” but his legacy of courage speaks volumes.

Whether it is Dharmapeetam’s 50 bold episodes, the final interview with Gaddar just before his attack, or the emotional truths of Telangana politics, Satish Babu Garu’s journey reminds us why journalism matters.

If you’re someone curious about Telugu politics, fearless interviews, the evolution of journalism, leadership stories, and insider perspectives on NTR, YSR, KCR, Jayalalitha, and Chandrababu Naidu, this episode is a must-listen.

In this Telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Madhavaneni Raghunandan Rao, Member of Parliament from Medak, lawyer by profession, and one of the most outspoken BJP leaders from Telangana. Known for his sharp arguments and fearless stand on issues. Raghunandan Rao opens up about politics, law, family, and the everyday struggles of a public leader.

We begin with one of the biggest contradictions of Indian democracy: 251 of the 543 newly elected MPs face criminal cases. Can clean politics truly exist when over five crore cases are still pending in courts? Rao points out the hypocrisy of focusing on issues like Sabarimala while fundamental judicial reforms are ignored. As someone with cases against him, he speaks candidly about the personal toll and why in today’s climate, survival in politics almost guarantees cases being filed.

Rao’s journey is also a story of patience and resilience. Expelled from TRS, defeated multiple times in Dubbaka, he never gave up. Using his now-famous dinosaur vs. giraffe metaphor of Darwin theory, he explains why adaptability and endurance matter more than instant wins.

On freedom of speech, he questions why anonymous abusive content is tolerated online while citizens are arrested for criticizing politicians. From the urea controversy to the silencing of YouTubers and leaders on freedom of speech, Rao takes on an interesting toll.

We also explore the unseen life of a politician: the round-the-clock demands, school admissions, medical emergencies, hospitality costs, and the stress that leaves most leaders battling BP and diabetes. He explains why cars and staff aren’t luxuries but survival tools in political life.

Turning to Telangana politics, he addresses whether a national party like BJP can compete with deeply rooted regional parties. He speaks on vote chori, duplication of votes, Aadhaar linking, and the flaws of the 51% majority system. He also highlights the disparity in funds: Telangana contributes ₹1.3 lakh crore in taxes but receives less than ₹20,000 crore back.

The discussion covers petrol prices, infrastructure growth, and the devolution of funds, as well as allegations that BJP uses agencies like ED and CBI to “wash” leaders once they join the party. He also responds to debates on Hindu vote banks, BJP’s RSS roots, and succession after Modi.

As a lawyer and politician, he reflects on balancing two seemingly opposite roles; twisting words to defend a client in court while promising truth and service in politics. He recalls unforgettable cases, his reputation as a highly paid advocate, and why advocates remain among the highest taxpayers in India.

Yet this episode isn’t only about politics. He insists parents must discuss politics at the dinner table, teaching children values, awareness, and curiosity. He opines youth to see politics as a career while also encouraging families to support alternative professions. With examples from P.V. Sindhu, Nikhath Zareen, and Malavath Poorna, he reminds us that India needs dreamers in every field, not just engineering or medicine.

From policing reforms and the role of the Election Commission to the power of social media, media bias, and even the Sansad Khel Mahotsav, Raghunandan Rao’s words reveal the complexity of leadership in modern India.

Direct, sharp, and often provocative, this conversation takes us inside the mind of a politician who is also a lawyer, father, and fighter. Finally, his mix of honesty and grassroots perspective makes this a must-listen for anyone who cares about democracy, politics, and India’s future.

What if one of the world’s most respected tech companies, selling in over 180 countries, with 25 offices across the globe, wasn’t built in Silicon Valley or Bangalore, but from a small village in Tamil Nadu called Tenkasi? 

In this episode of Raw Talks with VK, we sit down with Mr. Raju Vegesna, the Chief Evangelist at Zoho Corporation, for a deeply honest, philosophical, and powerful conversation in Telugu. This is not just a startup success story; it’s a blueprint for building with integrity, vision, and an unshakable connection to roots.

Raju takes us through his personal journey and his connection with CBN (Chandrababu Naidu), including the viral tweet after Chandra Babu Naidu’s arrest. He shares how he first met Sridhar Vembu, Zoho’s founder, and how that meeting shaped a decades-long partnership based on values, simplicity, and service to the country. He talks about how Zoho made the bold decision to stay bootstrapped, carry zero debt, and invest in long-term thinking instead of chasing short-term valuations. We discuss how Zoho, unlike many other companies, built its offices in rural areas like Renigunta, with the belief that villages don’t need to be emptied to build cities, and that innovation doesn’t have a pin code.

From losing 400 clients to rejecting an acquisition offer from Salesforce, Raju walks us through the philosophy that helped Zoho survive and thrive. He breaks down the purpose behind Zoho Schools, where dropouts and underprivileged youth like, security guard Abdul Alif, are trained to become full-fledged software engineers. He explains why they don’t provide degrees, only skills, and why many graduates today ask if they too can join this alternative education model.

We dive into how culture acts like the "character of a company," why they avoid traditional corporate structure, and how they’ve managed to operate without ever doing layoffs. Raju opens up about how design, interior choices, and even sofa arrangements affect team dynamics and why they design everything in-house to nurture culture. He also touches on Zoho’s product journey from launching Zoho Writer before Google Docs, to making Zoho Mail one of the top 3 email platforms globally, to building a CRM that now sees large-scale migrations from other platforms.

This conversation also takes a wider lens on India’s startup ecosystem. Raju shares his views on entrepreneurship and patriotism, India’s engineering graduate crisis, and the philosophical mindset shift we need to stop waiting for Western validation. We discuss how AI and robotics are not just tech trends but tools for digital and national sovereignty, and how real disruption is only beginning. He compares the state of Tier 1 Indian cities with Tier 3 cities in the U.S., and asks the question: can we build from here and still lead the world?

With memorable stories like the early Ameerpet startup days, co-founder disagreements, and incidents where clients once rejected them harshly, this episode offers a full-spectrum view of the mindset and mission behind one of India’s most inspiring companies. For aspiring entrepreneurs, tech dreamers, and anyone who believes in building with purpose, this episode isn’t just a conversation, it’s a call to action.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to build a global company out of a village, this might be for you. Whether you’re dreaming of staying bootstrapped, creating real impact, or building from Bharat, this story is proof that it can be done.

In this Telugu Podcast episode, we sit down with one of India’s most respected and pioneering venture capitalists, Vani Kola, the founder of Kalaari Capital, to uncover the untold stories behind the early stages of India’s startup ecosystem. Her journey begins at Osmania University, where she was one of just six women in an engineering classroom. From there, she made her way to Silicon Valley, immersing herself in the world of technology and innovation, before returning to India with a burning desire to contribute to the country's evolving business landscape.

What follows is a trailblazing career in venture capital, including early and critical investments in startups like Myntra—at a time when e-commerce in India was still taking baby steps. It was not just the numbers that convinced her, but the subtle cues—like Myntra’s outstanding customer service—that signaled deep-rooted potential. She walks us through the investment process, how she and her team funded the company, and how they played a pivotal role in orchestrating the historic Myntra-Flipkart merger, a turning point in Indian e-commerce.

We also dive into her investment in Snapdeal and her sharp analysis of the cost of doing business in India—not as a roadblock, but as a challenge to innovate around. The conversation expands to her forward-looking views on the aviation sector, the future of food businesses, and whether they can sustain and scale without a strong e-commerce presence. She also breaks down the explosive growth of India’s cosmetics industry, especially within the rising men’s grooming market, marking a powerful shift in consumer behavior and lifestyle aspirations.

But this episode isn’t just about investments and startups—it’s about mindset, resilience, and personal evolution. She speaks with remarkable clarity about the importance of stepping into uncomfortable spaces to unlock true growth. She adivices young entrepreneurs to stop waiting for validation, to act with conviction, and to trust their instincts. Her insights into identity crises, dealing with reputation and net worth, and the emotional challenges of today’s highly competitive world are powerful, vulnerable, and deeply relatable.

We reflect on what it means to thrive as a woman in a male-dominated business world, how her family supported her vision, and why living a simple lifestyle can ground even the most ambitious entrepreneurial dreams. Her personal stories—from visiting India’s first mall and sensing the winds of change, to building Kalaari Capital from scratch—add texture and emotion to her already inspiring professional journey.

When asked whether young people today should still chase the “Silicon Valley dream,” she delivers a sharp and optimistic answer: India today offers unprecedented opportunities, and this is the moment to build, innovate, and lead from within.

She also shares her admiration for iconic Indian leaders like Ratan Tata, Narayana Murthy, and others—not to idolize them, but to compare values, leadership, and long-term thinking. Her message to the youth is bold and liberating: Be the change you seek, rather than waiting for the world to change for you.

This is more than just a podcast—it’s a masterclass in navigating India’s business landscape, investing with purpose, and growing as a person while building something that matters. Whether you're a founder, student, investor, or dreamer—this episode will inspire you to think bigger, act bolder, and believe in the power of your own journey.

In this Telugu Podcast episode, we had an eye-opening conversation with Suresh Kochattil garu, who's been in the media industry for 40 yrs & 17 yrs of experience at Times of India in various levels.

 As the world drowns in breaking news, social media headlines, and sensationalism, This episode takes you through the actual machinery that runs Indian media. Starting with a simple question: is the printing press as dramatic as it’s shown in the movies? The truth, as always, is far more layered. From how news is selected, printed, and distributed, to why newspaper stories cut off after 12 PM, we explored the real-time walkthrough of what really goes on behind those bold headlines.

The episode then dives into one of the most defining moments of Indian media urgency—the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in Sriperumbudur. How that single moment changed reporting patterns and led to a media that thrives on speed rather than depth. But this conversation is not just about journalism. It’s about truth, control, perception, and the massive war of narratives we’re all part of, knowingly or not.

We explored how India often wins on the battlefield but loses in the eyes of the world because of poor narrative management. In contrast, countries like Qatar have silently reshaped their global image—through airlines, global sports, news networks, and funding major universities. From Al-Jazeera to the FIFA World Cup, narrative power is everything. And while that happens globally, at home, politicians are allegedly buying YouTube channels for ₹8-9 crores to push their version of reality.

We didn't just stop there. We delved into the dark alleyways of the Indian underworld—gold smuggling routes, Calicut’s Kondotty village, and how dons moved into real estate after using heroines and music labels as money fronts. He talked about bomb blasts, NSG failures, the Bhatkal brothers, and how stories were buried before ever being told. He opened up about the deaths of icons like Lal Bahadur Shastri and cases like Nagarwala, where ₹60 lakhs were withdrawn from SBI based on a phone call impersonating the Prime Minister.

Even the names of Hyderabad’s localities—Tarnaka, Musarambagh, Bolaram—carry centuries of untold stories, which were brought to life with stunning clarity. We spoke about the TRP race, the death of press conferences, and how public discourse has shifted from dinner table conversations to manipulated debate shows. The impact of “WhatsApp journalism,” sensationalism, and psychological conditioning through repetitive negative news is unpacked with startling precision.

As the media landscape tilts further into noise and chaos, This discussion calls for a revival of real, fearless journalism. He expresses his admiration for Karan Thapar, Ramnath Goenka, and Ramoji Rao—figures who once stood for truth despite the odds. He reflects on why journalists today are either demonized or silenced, and how stringers are forced into unethical shortcuts due to low wages and pressure.

Ending on a powerful and emotional note, he shares life lessons from his father, a man of honesty and principle, and offers his heartfelt advice to the youth of India. In a world where everyone is fighting to be heard, this episode reminds us that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply speak the truth.

In this deep-dive episode, we sat down with Ajithesh Korupolu garu, CEO of Ashoka Builders India Private Limited (ASBL) to uncover the full story behind the evolving property market in Telangana, one of India's richest states in terms of per capita income. From global forces like the Russia-Ukraine war to the dependency of Indian real estate on U.S. financial systems, we explore how international events silently shape local outcomes.

The conversation spans the remarkable shift from post-Telangana agitation stagnancy to the historic boom from 2016 to 2023, highlighting 2019 as a peak year. We examine how commercial space rentals subtly indicate job creation, discuss capital gains tax changes, and expose the digital echo chambers—where people often form market opinions through YouTube comments and Google search views rather than data.

VK sir brings a powerful real-world lens with his recent ₹1000 Cr launch success, emphasizing the importance of Product-Market Fit and understanding shifting consumer preferences like smaller carpet areas. We also explore Hyderabad’s superior piped water system in contrast with Bangalore, planning foresight, and water conservation challenges. With reflections on future-forward infrastructure like water grids and ocean-filtered solar water systems, we compare global models like Barcelona and the U.S.’s $1.4 trillion infrastructure renovation.

What sets Hyderabad apart? Its 6 consecutive affordability titles (Mercer data), tech ecosystem, over 64% of India's CCTVs, and SHE teams ensuring women’s safety make it a standout city. The episode also digs into the reality of corruption—both political and bureaucratic—highlighting the need for transparency in political expenditure and the role of digitization.

We touch on growing trends like founder-led real estate brands, gated neighborhoods, the influence of DINK/DISK families, pets, and the evolving wedding ecosystem. You’ll hear about zoning’s role in reducing taxes, and how poor infrastructure robs people of opportunity.

Plus, we discuss the challenges real estate developers face: dealing with ministers, OOH vs digital marketing, labor shortages, and the AI revolution in real estate. You'll also gain insights on how to properly research before buying property (RERA!), funny anecdotes on irrational purchase patterns, and meaningful advice for young parents on nurturing future citizens.

And also we discussed the most awaited question in detail–“Is Hyderabad’s real estate market down, or are we misreading a complex economic transformation?”  

This is more than a market talk—it’s a masterclass on city planning, investment strategies, and India’s urban future. Whether you’re an investor, student, policymaker, or curious citizen, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

In this Telugu Podcast episode, Srikanth Varma from Scaler sits down with us to confront the raw, uncomfortable realities students and parents are grappling with today. He doesn’t just describe the problem; he breaks it down, offers fresh perspectives, and shows us how to rebuild from the ground up. Why do students spend lakhs on a BTech or BCom degree, and only end up with jobs paying ₹10,000–₹20,000 a month? Is the fault in our education system, outdated curriculum, or something deeper? 

Srikanth begins by taking us through history, highlighting how every major revolution, from the Industrial Revolution to the rise of the internet, and now the evolution of AI, initially led to job fears, but eventually created far more opportunities than they destroyed. The fear of losing jobs to automation isn’t new, and neither is the solution: learning, adapting, and upgrading. He urges students to look at AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini not as threats, but as enablers, powerful extensions of human creativity and intelligence. Instead of fearing AI, he explains how we can learn to prompt better, think deeper, and build smarter.

The conversation shifts to how the current education system is failing to teach the actual skills needed in the real world, things like communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and initiative. These are the very skills companies are hiring for, not just grades or college names. He shares real success stories of students who didn’t come from top-tier colleges but used projects, GitHub, self-learning, and internships to land amazing jobs. He reminds us that in 2025 and beyond, a degree might get your resume opened, but value creation is what gets you hired.

Srikanth also discusses how parents play a crucial role. He says it’s time to stop pushing kids into “safe” careers and start encouraging them to explore what they love. The world is shifting too fast for forced paths to work anymore. If a child is interested in startups, robotics, or music, let them go deep into it. Watch good YouTube content, follow startup founders, and use social platforms to learn. Knowledge is everywhere now, and access is free. But only those who are curious, consistent, and intentional will benefit from it.

He emphasizes the urgent need for reskilling and upskilling. Referring to McKinsey reports and post-COVID workplace shifts, he explains how millions of people across industries will need to learn entirely new skills, many of which aren’t taught in traditional classrooms.  The practical approach of not just teaching, but mentor, expose students to real-world problems, help them build portfolios, and guide them to think like creators, not just job seekers was discussed.  

Another powerful segment is about how to find jobs even when there seem to be none. It’s not just about applying, it’s about positioning. Can you build in public? Can you network intelligently? Can you communicate what problems you solve? He encourages students to stop obsessing over what’s missing and start focusing on what they can build, learn, or contribute today.

And finally, he beautifully ties it all back to mindset. Fear will always be there, fear of AI, fear of failure, fear of rejection. But the real winners are the ones who approach problems not with panic, but with process. Those who look at a challenge and say, “What can I do right now to grow through this?”

If you’re a student confused about your future, a parent anxious about your child’s direction, or someone lost in today’s chaotic job market, this episode might be for you. It’s filled with truth, hope, practical advice, and a roadmap to reinvent yourself in the age of AI, startups, and exponential change.

In this Telugu Podcast episode with Major SPS Oberoi, we uncover the real truth behind Indira Gandhi’s assassination, the rise of the Khalistani separatist movement, and the complex role of the Sikh community in India’s military, history, and politics. From being the backbone of the Indian Army to facing one of the most painful betrayals during Operation Bluestar, the Sikh identity has been both celebrated and challenged.

We go deeper into how the partition of India and Pakistan shaped Punjab’s volatile history, referencing the emotional and cultural impact seen in works like Train to Pakistan. The demand for a separate Khalistan was not just internal, it was actively supported and funded by elements sheltered in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, allegedly to apply diplomatic and strategic pressure on India.

This episode features firsthand insights from a retired Indian Army veteran, who breaks down how RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) became one of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. From the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation, 1974 nuclear test, to integrating the Sikh identity into the national fold, RAW's operations have shaped modern Indian geopolitics. You’ll learn how agents are trained to control the subconscious mind, why they operate in secrecy, and how a tailor shop in Mumbai served as a secret Israeli embassy. We discuss how agents report directly to the PMO, their finances remain outside scrutiny, and the shocking depth of their missions, including spoiling Turkey’s weapons export dreams.

We also expose how Pakistan’s military works like a corporate empire, supporting terror groups, owning businesses, and manipulating information through information warfare. From Operation Sindhoor to Balakot airstrikes, Abhinandan’s capture, and India’s strategic mastery in psychological operations, you’ll see how India is no longer just defending, but outsmarting.

Explore the reality of modern warfare, where no one really wins, and war has become a profitable business. Despite global silence during major Indian operations, the episode questions whether it's time for India to rethink its foreign policy. Why did we not reclaim Kashmir even after Kasab openly admitted Pakistan’s involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks? Why is Pakistan still considered a poster boy for US foreign strategy, and why is every Indian victory followed by a forced ceasefire?

But this podcast goes beyond geopolitics and strategy. It’s an emotional, personal journey. Our guest opens up about the hardest part of army life, sending a fellow soldier’s body home. He shares the emotional bond among soldiers, their sacrifices, and the harsh truth that MPs get pensions after a single day in Parliament, while a soldier might not after ten years of service. We talk about how Sikhs continue to dominate military enlistment, driven by their culture, principles, and identity.

We also address life after the army, the transition, the struggles, the respect, and the goals that remain unshaken. Currently working as an academic advisor at EKAM, he opens up about UPSC struggles, parenting challenges, and the pressure on middle-class aspirants. You'll hear about real UPSC competition insights, how to learn deeply, the importance of Brahma Muhurtam, and why honesty is a non-negotiable value.

From Cambrian Patrol victories in 2021 and 2023 to learning how India honors its war field ethics and handles POWs beyond the Geneva Convention, this episode is packed with value---emotionally, intellectually, and strategically.

If you want to understand India’s national security, intelligence agencies, military mindset, and the real impact of geopolitics on everyday lives, this episode is unmissable. Whether you're a UPSC aspirant, a patriot, a history buff, or just someone curious about the truth behind headlines, this episode might be your next best guide.

In this deeply episode, we sat down with experienced and renowned Obstetrician Dr. K Shilpi Reddy and explored a wide range of topics surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, fertility, and women’s health. The conversation begins by addressing real, touching questions from our listeners, including one about oral sex and concerns around sexually transmitted diseases. The importance of mutual consent is emphasized as a vital foundation before exploring any new aspects of intimacy. We then delve into VK’s encounter with traditional astrologers and the contrasting views on normal delivery, cesarean sections, and the role of astrology in timing childbirth and operations. While astrology varies geographically and culturally, our guest stresses that the mother’s own body and medical needs ultimately govern delivery outcomes, though auspicious timings may hold cultural significance in events like marriages.

The episode also highlights the mental and physical pressures women face from family and society during pregnancy. We discuss how typical motherly instincts, like force-feeding without considering a woman’s actual bodily needs, can contribute to early-onset diabetes in young women. The myth that milk is the only source of calcium is challenged, alongside concerns about future generations potentially needing insulin alongside their lunchboxes due to rising diabetes rates in India. The episode touches on the irresponsible dietary advice some doctors give without accounting for patients’ lifestyles and work habits, alongside societal body shaming and the hidden harassment behind over-pampering. It also contrasts dietary habits from different regions, noting how North Indian akhadas prefer natural foods while urban gyms heavily promote protein powders, which may cause hormonal imbalances affecting fertility.

We take a historical perspective on pregnancy and family planning, noting that older generations often had many children within joint families where women received better support. In contrast, today’s progressive and educated women are increasingly choosing to delay or forgo childbirth, a choice the guest believes is problematic given population declines in countries like Scandinavia . The future demographic challenges of declining birth rates and the ethical questions around reproductive choices are examined, alongside recent ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) laws limiting eligibility for fertility treatments.

Fertility is further explored with a focus on the biology of sperm and eggs. Risks of rushing into fertility treatments are discussed.  Practical advice is offered on improving fertility through healthy lifestyles, balanced sleep, and caution against over-reliance on ovulation apps which cannot fully capture individual body variations.

The episode also addresses the consequences of toxic modern lifestyles on fertility & how Kamasutra emphasized how sexual health between partners leads to healthier and happier children, reinforcing the idea that emotional maturity and positive maternal energy deeply affect offspring.

Important topics like maternal (avunculate) marriages and their genetic risks are covered, with mention of advanced screening methods such as PGD to reduce, but not eliminate, hereditary disease chances.

We also touched upon some of the modern MedTech that has emerged and the importance of Health Insurance.

Finally, the episode wraps up with myth-busting rapid fire addressing common pregnancy misconceptions, laughter as a healing tool in labor wards, and heartfelt advice to young listeners. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, combining medical expertise, cultural context, and compassionate storytelling. Whether you are planning a family, supporting loved ones, or simply curious about women’s health in India today, this conversation offers valuable insights and encouragement to make informed, healthy choices.
