Last episode of Season 2 - -

Featuring: MP Thamizhachi Thangapandian, South Chennai

What does it really take to choose politics consciously and courageously?
How does a leader think, decide, prioritise, and hold space for millions?

In this episode, MP Thamizhachi Thangapandian brings a depth of clarity and warmth that shows us the human side of political life. Her articulation, her emotional groundedness, and her instinctive empathy make this conversation one of the most meaningful ones of the season.

We explore:
• How political families naturally train the next generation, just like business families do
• Why politics must be seen as a viable, meaningful career path for those willing to serve
• The discipline behind prioritising constituency needs
• The balance between public responsibility and personal life
• The role of education – and why sensibility, empathy, and perspective often matter more than degrees
• How ideologies become both the starting point and the compass that carries a leader through public life
• Her deep love for the Tamil language, expressed with pride but without diminishing any other language – a rare and graceful balance

One of the most revealing moments in this episode is her Personality Decode.
It reflects the emotional intelligence, empathy, and mental endurance that politics quietly demands. Her ability to listen, her clarity of thought, and her sensitivity towards people’s lived realities give us a true insight into what responsible political leadership looks like today.

This episode goes beyond politics.
It gives you a window into the person behind the role – the values, the upbringing, the grounding, and the steady conviction.

Watch Episode 10 to understand politics through a lens of sensibility, empathy, and honesty.

Listening closely. Thinking deeply.
Staying true without standing still.

Sikkil Gurucharan is one of the most respected voices in Carnatic music today.
Growing up in a family where music was part of life, not just performance,
he has shaped a journey marked by rigour, range, and thought.

He is a recipient of the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar from the Sangeet Natak Akademi.
He holds a degree in Financial Management and brings to his music perspective that goes beyond the stage.

From sabhas across the world to theatre, collaborations, and the reflective series Janal Oram,
his work continues to evolve, never disconnected from where it began, always alert to where it could go.

He does not often speak about his process.
And when he performs, time pauses and listens.

This is Sikkil Gurucharan.

AI may win in speed, but can it ever match the depth of the human heart?

In this episode, Spiritual guide Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji) reminds us that no matter how sharp our expertise, the mind can’t match the speed of artificial intelligence.

Within fractions of a second, AI can surprise us - but wisdom isn’t just about speed.

I walked into the interview with pages of notes. I never opened them.

Because with Akshika Poddar, the conversation just flowed from motherhood to business, from textiles to leadership. As a fellow textile enthusiast and a mother of three, I found myself resonating with so much of what she said.

She is clear, calm, and completely head-first. Open to ideas, grounded in instinct.

And that kind of clarity? That kind of conviction?

It is, quite literally, Rare.

He’s walked the long road from McKinsey boardrooms to Indian living rooms, furnishing not just homes, but a new design language for how modern India lives.

Ashish Goel co-founded Urban Ladder and shaped it into a brand that turned furniture into aspiration - hardwood, steel, and soul. He scaled ideas with care and clarity.

Today, he calls himself a “climate tech evangelist.” And this isn’t branding. It’s conviction.

Ashish has backed over 30 startups in the sustainability space.

But this conversation went deeper than climate or capital.

That fewer words, when felt deeply, can carry more weight.

What sets Ashish apart is how he lives all of this.
An engineer who trusts intuition. A capitalist with a conscience.

So today, we’re not just speaking to a founder.
We’re speaking to a builder of futures. And I can’t wait for you to listen to this.

The push button you need for the week!

Unshakeably normal for someone who has built so much.

Laser-sharp focus, no appetite for distractions.
What struck me most, he speaks of anger as energy, not emotion.

If you are serious about changing the course of your life, this one is for you.

If you are building something, facing a tough season, or just need clarity, you need to hear this.

I started this podcast to share stories that inspire action. This conversation with C.K. Kumaravel is exactly that. He spoke openly about losing his father, how his mother held the family together, the ups and downs with his brother, facing failure, refusing handouts, and rebuilding from the ground up.

We spoke about how to think through problems, how to build systems, scale through franchising, and his view on investing, especially real estate vs liquidity. He has invested well in real estate, but the way he thinks about money, risk, and growth is something every entrepreneur needs to hear.

This episode is for anyone who is trying to make sense of setbacks, trying to build something real, or just needs to hear how someone kept showing up no matter what.

Don’t miss this one.
