    Both, Not Half. A British Indian Story: Identity, Innovation & Belonging | Ep 44

    By 2040, the world could be dealing with a wave of retired batteries, enough to fill London’s Wembley Stadium 23 times over, every single year… to what made a child feel he’s “not the right look.” This episode really is a rollercoaster of many themes woven into one episode of a British Indian journey: Both, Not Half. Dr Amrit Chandan- scientist, innovator, and CEO of Lorefully, a Birmingham boy who had to reset his A-levels, then went on to be recognised as a Forbes 30 Under 30 tech founder and win the Hawley Award for Engineering Innovation. We cut through the noise on climate and tech: the truth about EVs, the battery debate, and what “end-of-life” really means-reuse, recycling, circular design, not just binning the problem. Then we move into identity: what it feels like to be British Indian, the funny stereotypes, myths about Indian origin people in the UK, to figuring out belonging when roots are spread across three different continents across India-Kenya-UK. How a multi-generational home can feel almost radical in a world built around the nuclear family. We even get into arranged marriage, modern love… and Amrit’s one amongst many magic tricks that has kept his own marriage rock solid.

    If we don’t get a handle on the climate crisis, parts of our planet could become uninhabitable but is there still hope?

    India: A Story in Making | Rock Bottom to Forbes | Teaser Ep 44

    What does it mean to be a British Indian, to grow up carrying multiple identities, with origin stories across three continents? This is a story of how failure can shape a life. Amrit, the boy who once failed, is now Dr Amrit Chandan: Forbes 30 Under 30, award-winning tech innovator, and CEO of Lorefully. But this isn’t only his story. It will resonate with millions of immigrants across the globe, people who build lives and build nations yet can still get a bad rep and are too often discussed as a “problem”, especially when elections are near. It’s about what belonging really looks like, and how we become who we become. And it’s also about the future, the world of climate action and AI, and the people building it from the in-between. Enjoy this teaser: ROCK BOTTOM TO FORBES.
