India’s big push toward cleaner mobility arrived with E20 petrol — a blend that promises lower emissions and a greener future. But soon after the rollout, complaints poured in: reduced mileage, engine compatibility issues, and even a PIL challenging the switch. So what’s really going on?

In this episode, we break down the science, policy, and politics behind E20. We explore why the government is pushing ethanol, what critics are warning about, and whether this fuel is actually sustainable for India — environmentally, economically, and for vehicle owners.

From sugarcane farming to emissions claims, from mileage concerns to long-term climate goals, we decode the full story behind E20 so you can decide: is this the future of fuel or just another overstated transition?

In the first episode of How Cities Move, we dive into the rhythms of this coastal city — from crowded suburban trains and MTC buses to the expanding metro and the iconic yellow autos. We unpack what works, what doesn’t, and what the future of commuting in Chennai might look like.

Tune in as we explore the stories, systems, and struggles that keep the city on the move.

Fast fashion is one of the world’s biggest polluters, but some changemakers are rewriting the script. In this episode, we spotlight Jiwya, a slow fashion brand founded by two textile scientists who left their corporate lives in the US to build a supply chain that’s 100% plant-based and regenerative. After exploring over 200 Indian cities and learning from heritage crafts, they’ve created clothes that come from the soil — and go back to the soil. Now, Jiwya is making waves at the London Fashion Week. Join us as we sit down with co-founder Aishwarya Lahariya to hear how fashion can be reimagined with purpose, sustainability, and human touch.
