This Round Is On Me with Gauri Devidayal

News connects us to the rest of the world, shapes our opinions, makes us concerned, helps us take awareness of our habits and privileges, promotes empathy, and just keeps everyone connected. And it's only fair that we have access to facts and true figures.

Indian readership has majorly been newspapers, and the present time has seen a shift to e-papers or digital media outlets that either take sides or bombard you with information.

Lakshmi Chaudhry recognised this and based on her rich experience running FirstPost & Broadsheet, launched a newsletter format portal-Splainer Media. Lakshmi and her team go through numerous reports and bring to you the most important stories in a very chewable read with adequate segments that serve as a side dish and dessert to make your news assimilation experience more positive and endearing.

Listen in to her speak to Gauri Devidayal about her Journalism journey, the lessons gained from observing the evolution of news media, her pet peeves when it comes to how news is presented, and how she intends to make a difference.

A regular day's commute is just a few kilometres to office and back. Maybe a detour to the cafe/bar/restaurant/departmental store which hardly counts. And if you count for a month, 6 months, or even a year- that amounts to a significant number of days. And imagine the amount of fossil fuel use saved, the amount of pollution avoided, the money saved and the carbon footprint reduced. And all of this is possible by encouraging more Electric vehicles that can sustain a day's commute in a basic charge and majorly contribute in saving the planet.

To discuss the mathematics, practical application, challenges and advantages of the EV, Gauri is joined by Kartikey Hariyani, founder & CEO of Charge+Zone, a company that assists refuelling of Electric vehicles with their facilities.

Tune in to know more about how EVs can make a difference to the pocket and planet, and how they are not just a step in the right direction but the future of mobility.

Some days he is the Chief Executive officer, some days, the Chief Energy Officer and on some days, he even takes the role of a plumber/referee and what not. As much as it has been a tough but adventurous climb to the top, the view is amazing and being able to see the bigger picture is being able to, therefore, solve bigger issues.

Having stepped up with the help of a, now slightly archiac, management degree, work and life have been his biggest teachers. To get an almost accurate insight into a consumer, apply it to the commercials of the product and almost doubling the sales- he has done it all, and trained many a successful people. Times are constantly changing, and having tapped into a consumers mind, Dheeraj is aware of how, revolutionary times, will need evolutionary measures.

He is the Chief Executive Office and Chief Strategy Officer of Leo Burnett, South Asia and has authored 2 insightful books. Catch him on This Round Is On Me with Gauri Devidayal as he gives us a tour of the Indian marketplace.

While everything around this place underwent massive changes, it stood tall silently in service and observation. It witnessed generations of buildings, human beings and companies, and lived to tell the tale. What is it we are talking about?

Shree Thaker Bhojanalay, nestled in the Kalbadevi street in SoBo, contrasting the tall glass buildings and overlooking the pastas and pizzas of today. It has retained the old world charm, the taste of home and exudes the warmth of the familiar.

This Round, Gauri Devidayal is in conversation with the second generation owner, Gautam Purohit who takes us through the 75 years of the establishment and tells us the story behind it, tales of his father, Mr. Maganlal, and how food is an emotion in India.

If we recollect, the first 20 years of our life were more or less predefined by the state. Preschool, school, college, and university. Like guinea pigs on a wheel, we kept going and stopped only when the state-mandated prescriptions were done and we had to think for ourselves. And in spite of working so hard all through the years, we had no clue what to do next.

So, meet Chaitanya Motwane. He is 20, done with the 12th grade and he has been accepted by a prestigious university abroad. But he chose to step away from the wheel, decline the online classes and defer joining to make the most of the classes. Stuck with a gap year and no plans of what to do next, he ended up having the best lessons outside of a classroom. He spent the year trekking in the Himalayas and Kilimanjaro, to Scuba Diving in the Andamans. It was a discomfort zone for him but he made it to tell the tale.

Catch Chaitanya speak to Gauri about his adventures and how breaking out of the system was such a liberating experience.

When the second wave hit, nobody was prepared for it. And when things got worse, people who had the resources and ability offered help in whatever way possible. Some donated money, some volunteered with organizations, some mobilized resources via social media, and some, like our guests, arranged fresh and healthy home-cooked meals and bake sales for those in need.

It was a situation- grandparents who couldn't cook for themselves, kids whose parents were on duty/hospitalized, people living alone and down with the virus; and so many of them in need of funds for treatment as it involved hospitalization and expensive drugs.

This round, catch Chef Saransh Goila, best known for his brand- Goila Butter Chicken talk about how he crowdsourced data on organizations and individuals willing to provide meals to Covid-19 patients and with help from a friend, launched https://covidmealsforindia.com/ that works across multiple cities in India to ensure home-cooked meals to those in need.

Joining him is Neysa Mendes of the Good Slice brand who channeled her baking skills into raising funds by organizing a bake sale under the hashtag #bakeforindia, and had multiple big and small bakers from across the country join her and raise money in a similar way.

Gauri and the guests discuss the process and efforts that went behind making it a success and the satisfaction thereafter.
