What happens when personal anguish becomes organised compassion?

In my upcoming conversation with Mr. Anil Ahluwalia, we explore how his wife’s cancer journey led to the creation of Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer — now impacting over 13 lakh lives across 15 states through psycho-social support, nutrition care, holistic healing, and survivor livelihoods.

From corporate leadership to compassionate nation-building, this is a story of purpose, systems, and scale.

She doesn’t work for weekends.

She works for a fan in the summer.

A fridge in the corner.

A school uniform for her children.

A woman in rural India shows up every day — not for perks, but for progress.

And that’s what makes her one of the most committed forces any business can have.

In my conversation with Aryah Mahajan of iVillage, we spoke about these powerful, deeply personal motivations — the kind that don’t just build livelihoods, but spark movements. One woman steps out, and she brings many more with her.

This is not just employment. This is impact.

Real change doesn’t start in cities.

It starts where no one is looking.

In the remotest tribal belts of Maharashtra, 80+ government schools are being transformed — attendance rising, dropouts falling, and thousands of girls reclaiming dignity through systems that last.

In this episode, I speak with Geeta Muchhala, Founder of Roshni Foundation, who turned a personal setback into a movement impacting 1.2 lakh+ children.

But impact here goes beyond classrooms.

In many of these communities, marriage itself is a barrier — couples who can’t afford to feed the village often remain unwed, living together yet never fully accepted. Through samuhik vivaahs (community weddings), dignity is restored — not just in life, but even in death, with full social acceptance.

From breaking taboos around menstrual hygiene to building trust where none exists — this is what real, grassroots change looks like.

🔥 Listen in for stories, truths, and moments that will stay with you.
