Are we more connected than ever before, yet lonelier than ever?In this thought-provoking episode of Unbound Special, Mamtaa sits down with Shraddha Chaturvedi, Founder of Get Companion, to discuss one of the most pressing emotional challenges of our time — loneliness in the digital age.We live in a world where technology allows us to connect instantly with anyone, anywhere. Social media platforms, messaging apps, video calls, and even AI-driven tools promise constant connectivity. Yet despite this digital closeness, many people feel emotionally distant, disconnected, and deeply lonely.In this powerful and honest conversation, Shraddha shares her insights into the growing loneliness epidemic and explains why modern relationships are becoming increasingly complex. Through her work with Get Companion, she has witnessed firsthand how individuals from different age groups — from young adults to older individuals — are struggling with emotional isolation.This episode explores the deeper layers of loneliness that often remain hidden behind the perfectly curated images we see online.Shraddha talks about how loneliness today is not limited to a particular age group or life stage. While many assume that older individuals face loneliness the most, the reality is that young people, professionals, and even those in relationships are experiencing emotional isolation.One of the most surprising observations she shares is how relationship challenges and emotional disconnect have become more common in modern life. In a world where communication has become faster and easier, genuine emotional connection often seems harder to maintain.During this conversation, we also explore the impact of digital platforms on human relationships. Social media has changed the way people communicate, express emotions, and build connections. While it has made it easier to stay in touch, it has also created a culture of comparison, unrealistic expectations, and emotional distance.Shraddha explains how many people today feel surrounded by people online but still struggle to find authentic companionship and meaningful conversations in their everyday lives.Another important theme discussed in this episode is how loneliness affects mental and emotional well-being. Emotional isolation can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and a loss of motivation in different areas of life. When people lack a safe space to talk openly about their thoughts and emotions, it becomes harder for them to navigate challenges.Through Get Companion, Shraddha is trying to address this growing need for meaningful human connection. Her initiative focuses on creating spaces where individuals can find genuine companionship, emotional support, and conversations that go beyond superficial interactions.This episode also highlights how technology should ideally enhance human life rather than replace human connection. While digital tools can be powerful enablers, they cannot fully replace empathy, understanding, and the emotional warmth that comes from real human interaction.Throughout the conversation, Mamtaa and Shraddha reflect on the importance of rebuilding authentic connections in a fast-paced digital world. They discuss why creating meaningful relationships — whether through friendships, family bonds, or supportive communities — is essential for emotional well-being.If you have ever felt like you are constantly connected online but still feel emotionally alone, this episode will resonate deeply with you. It invites viewers to pause, reflect, and rethink the way we approach relationships, communication, and companionship in modern life.If you would like to share your story or collaborate with Unbound With Mamtaa, feel free to connect with us.📩 For collaborations and inquiries:unboundwithmamta@gmail.com

In this inspiring episode of Unbound with Mamtaa, we bring you the powerful story of Devashree Nampurkar, Director of Shree Refrigerations Limited, a company known for manufacturing specialized air-conditioning systems used in Indian Navy warships and submarines. Her journey is not just about business leadership but about breaking stereotypes and redefining what women can achieve in industries traditionally dominated by men.Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Devashree was exposed to the world of engineering and manufacturing from a very young age. She witnessed her father building the company with dedication while her mother stood beside him as a strong pillar of support. Watching this journey unfold in front of her eyes helped shape her perspective toward entrepreneurship, leadership, and the importance of teamwork. For Devashree, mechanical engineering was never just a career choice it was a natural extension of the environment she grew up in.In a society where heavy industrial sectors like mechanical engineering and manufacturing are often perceived as male-dominated spaces, Devashree chose to step forward with confidence and determination. She pursued mechanical engineering with clarity in her mind and a strong belief in her abilities. What makes her journey even more inspiring is that her parents always supported her independence and never imposed decisions on her. This freedom to make her own choices played a crucial role in shaping her career path.One of the most interesting aspects of Devashree’s journey is how she entered the family business. Instead of directly taking up a leadership position, she started her career at the company as a marketing trainee. By working her way up step by step, she learned every aspect of the business. This allowed her to gain the trust of employees, understand the operations closely, and build meaningful relationships with the team.Many of the people working in the company have seen her grow since childhood, as she often visited the shop floor and observed the operations while growing up. Because of this connection, she never felt like an outsider in the organization. Over the years, she worked closely with the team, gained hands-on experience, and gradually moved up the hierarchy. Today, she holds the position of Director — not because it was handed to her, but because she earned it through dedication and hard work.In this conversation, Devashree also talks about the common misconception that second-generation entrepreneurs receive success easily. She openly shares that comparisons and assumptions are always there, but the only way to overcome them is through consistent effort and results. Her journey is proof that true leadership is built through experience, credibility, and the ability to work alongside people.Another powerful insight she shares is the importance of building a strong support system. According to Devashree, behind every successful individual there is not just one person, but a complete ecosystem of support. For her, this includes her family at home — her father, husband, and mother — as well as the team she has built within the company. She believes that when women want to grow professionally, they should actively build a support system that empowers them both personally and professionally.The conversation also highlights how industries are evolving today. Mechanical engineering is no longer limited to machines, oil, and shop floors. With advancements in technology, automation, design, and management, the sector now offers diverse opportunities for innovation and leadership. Devashree encourages more women to explore careers in engineering and manufacturing, emphasizing that the barriers that once existed are gradually breaking down.📩 Email: unboundwithmamta@gmail.comStay tuned for more inspiring conversations on Unbound with Mamtaa.

Welcome to a powerful edition of Unbound Special, where we celebrate women not through labels, but through their journeys.This episode is not about age.It is not about comparison.It is about choice.As part of our International Women’s Day celebration, we bring together women from diverse professional paths to talk about reinvention, rediscovery, and reclaiming one’s creative voice.In this episode, we sit down with Ritika Modi — a Poetess and Performer who has consciously chosen a creative pursuit as her professional path. Her journey reflects something deeply relevant for the woman of today: the courage to begin again, not out of compulsion, but out of passion.A Creative Choice — This Time for HerselfMany of us begin our careers based on immediacy — academic direction, financial needs, family responsibilities, practical expectations. Those choices are valid. They shape us. They build us.But what happens when a woman pauses, reflects, and reconnects with her inner Artist?This episode explores that second phase — the moment of rediscovery where career is no longer just about livelihood, but about fulfillment.For Ritika, poetry was not merely a hobby. It became a calling. A Poem became her medium of Expression. The stage became her space. The mic became her Voice.This is about making a second inning — not to prove anything, not to compete, not to reject previous roles — but to creatively expand.And that shift is powerful.The Poetess, The Performer, The Creative SpiritRitika identifies strongly as a Poetess — someone who writes from lived emotion. Her work touches on Love, Pain, longing, strength, vulnerability — all coexisting in one human experience.As a Performer, she carries that written word onto the stage, transforming Poem into presence.Her style is unabashed yet tender. Bold yet Romani in its emotional depth. There is romance in her language, but there is also clarity. There is softness, but also strength.She represents a growing movement of women who are claiming space as Artists — not waiting for validation, but choosing visibility.Career Beyond SurvivalOne of the most important themes in this Unbound Special is the evolution of career itself.Earlier, career often meant:StabilityStructureSocial validationToday, for many women, career is also about:Creative alignmentPersonal truthEmotional expressionThis episode does not position one path above another. It does not diminish domestic roles or traditional professions. Instead, it highlights that a woman’s journey can expand. It can evolve. It can take new shape.Choosing something new does not reject the past.It builds upon it.And that is the essence of reinvention.Expression as EmpowermentThrough this conversation, we explore what it means to express without hesitation.To be Unabashed about your emotions.To speak your Voice clearly.To allow Love and Pain to coexist.To embrace Poetry as Power.For Ritika, creativity is not performance alone. It is healing. It is articulation. It is understanding oneself at a deeper level.In a world that often asks women to adjust, accommodate, and prioritize others, choosing creative fulfillment becomes a quiet act of empowerment.Celebrating International Women’s Day — The Unbound WayThis Unbound Special is our way of celebrating International Women’s Day — not through slogans, but through stories.By bringing together diverse profiles, we aim to showcase journeys that reflect:ResilienceReinventionAuthentic ExpressionCreative CourageBecause empowerment today is not one-dimensional.It may look like leadership.It may look like entrepreneurship.It may look like poetry on a stage.It may simply look like a woman choosing herself.Love. Pain. Poetry. Power.This episode is layered with emotion. It explores how poetry becomes a bridge between personal experience and collective resonance.
