What is the goal of a creator? Is it to become famous or tell stories that find a huge audience? What does it mean to have a voice as a creator and how do you know when you have found your voice. These are some big questions that every creator must face as their body of work grows.

Today, Vineet sits down with two women who seem to know what they are doing to nurturing their creative voice into commendable projects across the entertainment spectrum. Comedian, Sumukhi Suresh is a tour de force and has created shows that range from fiction with her prime origin 'Pushpavalli' to cooking with her original shows on Zomato to her stand-up comedy special, 'Don't Tell Amma'. My other guest, Nisha Vasudevan, started as an animation creator and has also worked on branded and non-fiction projects in her own production studio, The Whimnasium. She is growing into one of the most articulate documentary voices in India with her recent Red bull project 'Breaking in India' at Supari Studios. Tune in
