the world was different.

When I graduated almost 10 years ago, I'm going to be an alumni for 10 years next year.

So I went to college in 2013 to 2017, right?

So think about what was happening in America at that time.

So Trump was just becoming president, the election campaign was going on and there was protests all the time.

So we had takeover Wall Street, we had the Not My President movement and I went to NYU.

NYU is probably one of the most liberal places you could be in this world right we had Bernie Sanders

when he was running for president give a speech from my campus

wow at Washington Square Park of course Hillary stronghold was Wall Street again my campus

so things were really in turmoil at that point

and then think about what was happening in India at

that time right the BJP was coming in with a huge

mandate we had unbelievable public infrastructure in terms of Aadhaar UPI geo had come into effect

and it felt like the country of growth

so who remembers I don't know if you all were too young

but basically our Honourable Prime Minister he came to America

and he did this rally in Madison Square Park

and I went for that and it just seemed like there was going to be

so much promise in India and there was all these buzzwords at

that time like ease of doing business you know things like that

so India felt and we were growing at about 8.5% at

that time and they were growing at like 2 or 3% So these were like vital decision points.

And AQI and things like that are like great assets.

I think there's an emotional infrastructure to life as well.

And that is India.

That is your parents.

That is the community around you that has built you.

I think to be able to build with an emotional infrastructure and to be able to carry out your life,

it's a much bigger asset than to have roads and railways, in my opinion.

As a person, it depends on your moral standing.

Like I had a huge feeling of responsibility to build for the country.

As I keep mentioning, you've got 800 million people below the age of 35.

So technically you've got the largest youth population in the world who is in India.

So when you're building for India, there are already so many consumers who are going to consume from India.

So it only makes sense to come back to India, understand India per se and then build for India.

for India, from India, for Indians, by Indians, all of the above.

And you said something very interesting, you went to NYU and you saw the political climate out there.

Would you go back to NYU if you were starting all over again at this juncture?

If you had just graduated from school say.

100%.

So I mean things were different then like even in that time I thought okay I'll go for my masters.

Pizzas and things were much easier then coming, going back.

Would I go back?

I mean I think being a global citizen and understanding

that being on a campus where you can meet an Albanian

and a Palestinian and an Israeli and you can all have an open conversation as students, I think that's a really beautiful thing.

I wouldn't trade that for anything.

You know, you're a great example of somebody who is a global citizen

and also locally rooted and perhaps that has to do both with your university

and then all your time that you spent in India.

What does it mean to be locally rooted?

What does it mean essentially to preserve Indian culture?

We think in systems and environments and not as individuals first.

right so we have a responsibility to our families our society our country

but because of these generational roles that we play I'm very confident

that I'll be able to have my kids

and like leave them with my mother

or my mother-in-law even at a society level I think we're liable to our actions

because we play these roles really well

so I think it makes us better people

and generally also I think Indian culture in this increasingly fragmented world where we're able to hold contradictions really well

that I don't think globally people can do.

Today you are able to be like a wholly rounded person where you are able to celebrate your own culture

but you are also able to take in the culture of those around you

and not only tolerate but accept it and those are two very distinct things.

That is something of Indian culture we should never let go at any cost.

So don't let anybody polarize you, how much ever your own social media is your own sound box and you go deeper and deeper into it.

Get out and read more opinions and allow for tolerance and allow for acceptance of those around you.

I think it's a very beautiful thing that we have.

Indian culture of course and Indian sabhyata,

like where you spoke about the fact that oneness is there in India and we see everything as a collective,

we see everything as Vasudeva Kuthumbhakam, we see everything in Anikantwad,

we always see things, the pluralist idea of the world view is essentially an Indian idea per se as well

and many of these universal thoughts are rooted deeply in Indian culture.

But you spoke about something very interesting which haunts both them and me and perhaps you, I would like to believe is the algorithm.

You spoke about social media and you said don't let social media drown us in the narrative war that is there.

So I am just wanting to understand how do you deal with the algorithm

when the algorithm shows you things only which is one If you like a dog video then only dog, the only dog.

Yeah, you are always humming box, right?

Like you don't get varied views and opinions.

So then how do you make sure that you also balance the two?

It's just detrimental to your mental health.

And it's not adding any real value, right?

And if you're on it and if you're on it for your friends, that's great.

If you're on it to learn and inform yourself, then you have to be really vigilant about the kind of content you're consuming consuming

because you have to know that today for social media

and for this algorithm your mind space is essentially their commodity

that they're trading on so that is how you're paying for it.

What you said is so true about the algorithm

but another aspect of your personality and I want to touch upon it is

that you dedicated 8 years to Bharat Natyam

and you did this alongside a degree and a career

so most people they leave their passion per se behind in that sets.

You continued pursuing your passion, finished your degree so to say

and then continue to perform is what I was trying to get at and that in itself is quite commendable.

What keeps you going when it comes to things like this?

I mean there's many passions that I've let go of

that you don't see like of course political relations but I mean Bharatnatyam for me is spiritual.

It's my form of seva.

100

I feel like I'm in prayer when I dance

101

and it's a temple dance form for those of you

102

that know and it's a way to tell stories

103

and it's a way for you to understand the stories of our gods

104

and for me I feel closer to my god when I dance.

105

For other people it may be in prayer, it may be in chanting, it may be in meditation, it may be in cooking.

106

For me it's dancing so I have to keep that part of my life alive for my faith.

107

And when you talk about dance there is another aspect especially especially when it comes to women, because they are doing so much.

108

And there is a perception that is there

109

that a woman has to be both a global woman and also very locally rooted, especially when it comes to urban India.

110

So my question is that when you have that narrative that is set and when people see you from that lens,

111

I don't particularly agree that people should be gorged by a particular lens so to say, but when there is a lens that is given to you and then you have to play to that lens,

112

in that context, what does feminism mean to you?

113

So first, I think as a feminist and I mean I have grown up in a matriarchy, my mother's house is a matriarchy and now I am married into a matriarchy.

114

So both my mother and my mother-in-law are very strong women

115

and catch them being told what to do by anybody

116

but I think as a feminist we will win on the day

117

that this is no longer a question just for women right.

118

So your question is whether we should be seen as global citizens

119

or local citizens in the pressure to be cultural

120

but I think it starts with educating men

121

and women today like you have to educate the men also in the expectations of women

122

and the way in which they respect women like today we are different but we are equal.

123

I don't think that even in my marriage both of us are equal in every aspect.

124

There are some places where Anant leads and then there are some places

125

that I lead but overall if we meet each other with respect I think we're equal.

126

Like we have to go back to our culture as well

127

like India in general was a very matriarchal culture up until the British came.

128

So even if you look at Nama Parvati Pataye Har Har Mahadev, what does that mean?

129

Mahadev is the husband of Parvati.

130

Anjani Putra Pavana Sutra Nama, what is that?

131

Hanuman is the son of Anjani.

132

All of our gods were known as the sons of their mothers, not the sons of their fathers.

133

So today we have to be able to elevate the conversation of feminism not only as expectations of women

134

but also in the education we place on our boys.

135

How do we achieve this autonomy?

136

I think A is education but also it really doesn't matter whose daughter you are

137

or whose wife you become or I don't know or how comfortable you are in your life,

138

you have to be able to have financial independence to be able to make your own decisions,

139

never be tied to something in your life because you don't have an option to get out.

140

That is a very dangerous place and

141

if we don't allow for women's financial independence then we will never achieve full equality in our community.
