  • Episode 8 - National Education Policy: What's the Catch?
    Feb 8 2025

    India’s education system is undergoing a massive transformation with the National Education Policy (NEP). The NEP aims to bring flexibility, holistic learning, and a multidisciplinary approach to students, but how much of it is practical? Who wins, who loses, and what’s the catch?

    For the first time ever, this episode is entirely student-led—because who better to comment on education than those experiencing it firsthand? Unlike our usual format, this time, it’s all about raw, unfiltered student voices.

    Joining us are our Community heads, Praniti Bajaj and Pal Parmar, along with second-year students, Neha Bhatia and Harshita Shrangi. Together, they dive into what the NEP promises, its impact on students and teachers, and whether it’s the game-changer India needs or just another policy on paper.

  • Episode 6, Side A: Are We Bad Feminists - Deconstructing the F Word | Amrita Nair
    Dec 7 2022

    Feminism is the overarching ideology that emphasises on the social, economic, and political equality of the sexes - although this term has often been misinterpreted, and has been used for personal gain. The advent of social media has propelled several discourses, and through this podcast - we wish to engage in a fruitful conversation about the need for feminism, as well as deconstruct some of its misnomers such as pseudo-feminism and femvertising.

    This episode, serving as a base for more varied and pointed conversations about the notion of equality across culture, corporate setups, and law - will focus on the contextual history of feminism, the waves of feminism and how the term has evolved. Explore the advent of this ideology on our new podcast episode with a very special guest - Ms. Amrita Nair.
