E6: Nikhil Taneja - The need for a positive movement of masculinity
Nikhil Taneja's list of achievements is many - he has been with Hindustan Times, MTV India, Yash Raj Films and is now the co-founder of Yuvaa, a purpose driven youth media, and serves as a member of Global Advisory Board of Goalkeepers of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. But what struck me the most was his warm demeanour and his genuine interest in everyone's story. He wanted to know about my opinion as much as I wanted to know his. We discuss about many important issues this episode - the focus on men's mental health, the problems GEN Z are facing and the lessons we're learning from this pandemic. So do listen in.
