About this listen

We can choose to stay away from politics, but politics will not stay away from us. Those are the prophetic words from Srikanth Narsimhan, the co-founder and general secretary of Bengaluru NavaNirmana Party (BNP). In an earlier episode on housing societies during the Covid-19 lockdown, a management committee member told me that in a housing society, “Everybody is a CEO”. Listen to that episode here. With egos that large, getting anyone to coalesce takes a lot of energy and time. That’s where Srikanth had his first brush with public service bringing together 1000 housing societies representing 6 lac residents to band together. Previously, he worked in companies like ICICI Venture, E&Y and Tata Motors. He is an engineer from BITS, Pilani and a management graduate from IIM, Bangalore. Today, it is Bangalore that his heart bleeds for. How did that happen? Why did he float a political party? Join me as I find out more.

Cameo: Pankaj Chopra
