  • FourPlay with an UNprofessor and Two Gentlemen
    May 31 2025

    Welcome to FourPlay – where four brilliant minds collide in the most delightfully unpredictable ways!


    Ever wondered what happens when you throw a renowned marketing strategist, a visionary strategist, and a distinguished physician and Yoga Therapist into one room with microphones? Pure intellectual chaos – the good kind that makes you question everything you thought you knew.


    Meet your hosts:

    Dr. Smitha Ranganathan – whose insights cut deeper than surgical precision

    Mr. T Sajit – the mastermind who sees people patterns where others see puzzles

    Dr. Madhu Nagesh – proving that wisdom and wit make the perfect prescription


    This isn't your typical podcast. We're the conversations you wish you had at dinner parties – if your dinner parties involved dissecting life's biggest mysteries with people who actually have answers (and aren't afraid to disagree with each other).


    What to expect:

    Unscripted brilliance that unfolds in real-time.

    Debates that illuminate rather than intimidate.

    Insights that stick with you long after the episode ends.

    The perfect blend of gravitas and levity.


    Whether you're a curious mind, a fellow professional, or someone who simply loves watching smart people make sense of our beautifully chaotic city of Bangalore – you've found your tribe.


    New episodes drop every few weeks. Subscribe now and join the conversation that's redefining what it means to think out loud.


    Because the best ideas happen when brilliant minds play together

    (Yeah, neither do we😃). Now, Bangalore is more than just a city—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem of ideas, innovation, and irreverence. It’s where traffic jams spark startup ideas, filter coffee fuels breakthroughs, and the weather inspires both poetry and procrastination. But let’s be honest: Bangalore deserves more than just passive admiration. It deserves action.


    Our endeavor with Four Play is just that. And that can happen only with the best and brightest minds of the city because they’re not just leaders; they’re Bangalore-ans. Who has seen the city evolve, shaped its story, and probably cursed its traffic at least once. Your voice matters. Your ideas matter. And together, we can turn those ideas into action.


    Citizenry is a contact sport and a collective responsibility, isn't it?
