Customer Reviews
Excellent, thought provoking podcast
Each episode of Mission Shunya spotlights on a person making a difference in the world with renewables, energy efficiency and focuses on green sustainable lifestyle. It educates the common man on simple steps he/she could take which could make a difference in the planet and more importantly the stories from the guests inspire us to do so. Appreciate the candid interviews and the mission of this podcast, look forward to hearing more!
Unbiased and informative!
I really admire Girish, his opinions are completely unbiased and does a good job in informing his audiences of all the perspectives on an issue. Most of his interviews are quite balanced, both pros and cons of the matter are discussed, which rarely happens in today’s media.
Informative and inspiring
Great way to stay up to date on this important topic. To solve the climate crisis we need collective and individual efforts. Mission Shunya is here to mark the path toward a zero carbon economy and inspire us to take action.
