From Indian TV Powerhouse to Healthcare Changemaker | Nivedita Basu | Ep 273 | The Mohua Show

What does women’s empowerment look like beyond inspiration — inside leadership, healthcare, and real impact?

In this episode of The Mohua Show, Nivedita Basu — Founder & Chief Vision Officer, Global Cancer Care — shares her journey from shaping iconic women-led stories in Indian television to building accessible cancer care in India.

She speaks about women in leadership, career reinvention, healthcare entrepreneurship, cancer awareness, preventive healthcare, and why women must prioritize their own health. 

This conversation explores:

• Leadership learned, not inherited
• Reinvention after reaching the peak
• Why creative success alone is not enough
• The fear and misinformation around cancer care
