In this episode, I sit down with US-based artists Neel and Pranav for an honest conversation about what it really takes to pursue music — in two very different ways.

Neel is building music full-time, embracing both the freedom and uncertainty that comes with it.
Pranav, on the other hand, is balancing a full-time job while continuing to show up for his craft.

Two different paths. One shared commitment.

We talk about:
• How they got into music and the influences that shaped them
• Navigating consistency, doubt, and identity as artists
• The realities of balancing passion with stability
• Their creative collaboration
• And the story behind their latest track, Tum Hi Tum

This episode is a reminder that there’s no one way to chase your dreams — whether you go all in or build alongside something else, what matters is that you keep creating.

If you're someone trying to balance practicality with passion, this conversation will stay with you.

In this episode, we sit down with Smita Jha, the founder of one of the internet’s most loved ceramics brands — Orange Skies. Smita opens up about taking a bold bet on herself at a time when she could have easily settled into a comfortable, predictable job. Instead, she chose the path of building something meaningful, handmade, and rooted in community.

As she scaled Orange Skies, Smita didn’t just build a D2C business — she built a family of customers, artisans, and supporters who connected deeply with her philosophy of seeing people beyond mere order numbers. Her journey is a testament to what happens when you dream bigger, trust your instincts, and create with intention.

Now on to her next chapter, Smita reflects on the lessons, leaps, and love that shaped her entrepreneurial path, and what it truly means to build a business that becomes bigger than yourself.
