Anvi has a degree in microbiology and medical anthropology with a minor in entrepreneurship from the University of Michigan, and an MBA from the Indian School of Business.  Today’s focus is on the importance of the people we have in our lives, how we learn and grow from them, thereby becoming better people ourselves - both in private and professional life.

    #5: Mindfulness (feat. Anshul Kamath)

    My guest today is Anshul Kamath, an old friend of mine. Today’s focus is mindfulness and self-awareness, which are tricky topics to touch on because of peoples' perceptions and the fact that some listeners might have some prior experience with meditation, while others might not. Not only is mindfulness a highly relevant topic (because its all about managing our own emotions and decluttering the mind), but it’s also a growing market. A bit of background - Anshul was working a finance role in the London office of one of the world largest oil and gas companies, and is now on the brink of launching his own meditation and mindfulness app called Evolve (https://www.evolveinc.in/). We do touch on things like quitting the rat race, but there’s also some highly actionable advice for everyone to try out.  A Little Life is a podcast where I explore the lives, careers and minds of interesting young people from around the world.

    #4: The Big Picture (feat. Sam & Ekta)

    Sam and Ekta are a husband-wife duo based in Bombay. They met at MBA college, got married and entered the corporate world around 10 years ago. Fast forward to today, and they are among the most sought after wedding photographers in the country. They run their own wedding photography and film making business called Sam & Ekta (samandekta.com). I crossed paths with Sam when he was transitioning out of his corporate career, and when I was transitioning into mine in late 2015. Their philosophy on life, and I wholeheartedly agree, is to always look out for and trust serendipity.

    #3: Design Thinking & Women's Health (feat. Sushrut Shastri)

    My guest is Sushrut Shastri -  A 27 year old startup founder based in Stockholm, Sweden. Sushrut and I went to school together: Bombay Scottish School (in Mumbai). He got a degree in biotech engineering from BITS Pilani in Dubai and then went on to get a masters in bio-entrepreneurship from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. He then started an innovation consultancy that offered expertise to businesses by applying design-principles along with his friend and business partner, Moa. During this time, and through interviews with many women, they identified a problem - and Endometrix was born, a health-tech startup tackling endometriosis, a disorder which affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. He is one of the nicest, most genuine people I know.

    #2: The Business of Music (feat. Faizan Khan)

    In this episode, we take a glimpse at the Indian music industry - I’m speaking with Faizan Khan, who is the co-founder & director of an independent record label called the MVMNT. He set the label up along with India’s most prolific hip-hop producer, Sez on the Beat, based on their shared vision to promote upcoming talent from around India. In 2020, the Indian music industry has only just begun to emerge from under the shadows of the Hindi film industry, Bollywood - Almost like a sleeping giant, waking up and rubbings it’s eyes.

    #1.2: Wildlife Conservation (feat. Ben Howitt) - Part 2

    This is Part 2 of my conversation with Ben, so if you haven’t heard Part 1, I’d recommend you go back and check it out for context. This episode contains what I hope to present as the message of this podcast experiment - To take a risk and chase something that you care about; how you can take what you already know, and figure out the next part of your journey - without romanticising, without downplaying, how scary and difficult making those decisions can be.

    In this episode, Ben describes his experience of being the lead vet at the Darwin Animal Clinic in the Galapagos islands, and narrates the story of a virus outbreak on the islands during his time there. This episode is super topical given the craziness around coronavirus right now. Do check out Part 2 for the rest of the conversation.
