Basic Income Earth Network's Sarath Davala - Why Everyone Needs Free Money

What if money wasn’t something you had to fight for just to survive? In this episode, we chat with Sarath Davala, a global advocate for Universal Basic Income, or UBI. He shares how he got into this movement and why UBI isn’t just another welfare idea. It’s about giving people a real shot at freedom, stability, and the space to live with dignity.

We talk about what UBI could mean for countries like India and Malaysia, how it challenges the old-school way of thinking about social support, and why treating income as a right might just be the mindset shift the world needs right now.
