On today’s show, I’m speaking with Rahul Rajkhova. I met Rahul back in 2013 and over the last few years, Rahul gained a lot of popularity for his protest rap videos across issues ranging from the farmer protest to the citizenship amendment bill, each video clocking in tens of thousands of views on YouTube

Through our conversation, he tells me why he decided to make these protest raps and his bigger mission of educating the youth. We also chat about his latest music projects and the exciting stuff he’s got planned for the year ahead.

On today’s show, I’m speaking with Soumya Sankar. I met Soumya back in 2010 and she’s one of the few people I know who continues to pursue her passion for math. In fact, she compares it to art. In our conversation, she tells me more about her journey through Ph.D. and the challenges she faced, life in the US, and shifts in beliefs she’s had over the last decade.

On today’s show, I’m speaking with Leonne Castellas. I loved this conversation because Leonne’s journey over the last decade has been nothing short of a roller coaster. He tells me why he decided to move to the US, the reality of life as a budding musician in Hollywood, and how he ended up becoming a drummer in the United States Army.

On today’s show I’m speaking with Zoravar Gill. I met Zoravar back in 2010 in college where we made grand plans of setting up our own consulting firm one day. 10 years later, we chat on how that’s going and about his experiences working at the Chief Minister’s Office and what’s it like studying Harvard.

On today’s show I’m speaking with Nikita Noronha. No, we’re not related. I met Nikita back in 2011 and we used to live in the same city, Gurgaon, for a few years. In this conversation, we chat about a bunch of things - studying journalism and realising that it wasn’t for her, how Krayons for Kargil came to be, and the company she’s building right now.

On today’s show I’m speaking with Chhayankdhar aka CD. I’ve always been fascinated with Japan, and CD is probably the only person I know who’s been there for 7 years and calls it home. In this podcast, he tells me about how he moved there as a student and eventually became a professor, teaching English to university students. We also chat about life in Japan and how he’s adapted to the culture while maintaining his own identity.

I’ve known Louis for 10 years now - as classmate, a roommate, a co founder but above all, as a dear friend. In this podcast, we chat about a bunch of different things - life and lesson during Nivaasa, which is the company we both started, the newsletter he recently launched which has been killing it on twitter, and his experience joining his family business and moving back to Goa. We also discuss some of our favourite topics like crypto, religion, uncertainty and the power of media. So let’s get into it!

On today’s episode I’m speaking with Rajat as we unpack his fascinating journey through the years. We talk about music festivals, marketing at tech giants, work life balance in the US and why wearing running shoes to the club is probably a wise choice. We start off with Rajat’s rather unconventional path into college, which is where we met almost 8 years ago.

I met Juni back in 2010 in college where we were classmates, and this conversation was the first time we were speaking since we both graduated in 2013 - which is almost 7 years ago.

Juni and I took very different paths after college - she went on study further and get a PHD in Economics. Through the conversation she tells me about this journey and how she’s changed along the way. At many points during our chat, I found myself in awe with this new version of her and if you listen close enough, you’ll fee it too!
