Listen to this article :

How does it feel to be one among the 200 global leaders?
I feel honoured to be part of this elite list and humbled that our work on changing the world is being recognised.

Can you elaborate on your vision for the youth and what you are hoping to achieve through the Godrej India Culture Lab?
We believe that young India is positive, inclusive and wants to make a difference. Most importantly, it wants to be self-actualised, and find meaning in life early on. This is why the work we do at the Godrej India Culture Lab, where we expose youth from across Mumbai to a wide range of leaders and ideas, through different formats like talks, performances and pop-up art experiments is so important. Young people come and connect to these ideas, and then draw inspiration from them in their own lives.
