🇮🇳⚖️ UK Barristers Can Now Work in India — But What Does It Really Mean? In a historic first, UK lawyers can now "fly in, fly out" to work on non-litigation matters like international arbitration and UK legal advice — right from India. 🎙️ At the Bridge India – Ideas for India Conference, Barbara Mills KC, Chair of the Bar Council of England and Wales, breaks it down. 💡 Questions we explore: Can it resolve family property or inheritance issues across India and the UK? Can it help diaspora business with cross-border disputes? What if we need UK legal advice while based in India? This could mean faster access, specialised expertise, and a new era of legal collaboration between two global economies. 🔗 Watch the full conversation now and find out what’s really changed.

Is America working? Is Trump working? Is the West losing its grip? And what role can a rising India play in a fractured world order and a fast-evolving multipolar world? While the Iran conflict may seem to have de-escalated, it exposed major geopolitical shifts that are still unfolding. Power is fragmenting, alliances are shifting, and a new global reality is taking shape. The post-Cold War world order is breaking apart — and India stands at a critical inflection point. This episode was recorded just before the Iran crisis, during the Bridge India –Ideas for India 2025 Conference, where early tremors of these changes were already visible. The conversation has only grown more relevant since. On India: A Story in the Making, we ask:  Can India remain non-aligned in a world of strategic rivalries?  How does it balance U.S.-China-Russia tensions?  Why has India not secured a permanent seat on the UN Security Council?  Can India act as a bridge for the Global South?  How effective has India’s non-alignment policy been in this shifting global order? From strategic autonomy and economic diplomacy to India’s potential global leadership, this episode offers timely insights for anyone tracking geopolitics and the global South’s future.

In the UK, 1 in 6 young people struggle with mental health — and academic pressure is a major driver. As 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels take over, students are often told to drop sports and “focus.” But evidence says otherwise. A 2021 Journal of School Health study found that teens who stay physically active during exams perform better, stress less, and feel more emotionally balanced. Still, many young athletes are benched during exam time. This episode follows the powerful story of 16-year-old Prisha — the first British Asian girl to swim the English Channel while preparing for her GCSEs. But it’s not just about the feat. It’s about how sport can anchor teens through stress — and how the quiet support of one coach can shape a life. Her open water coach, Jeremy Irvine, trained her not for a fee, but for a purpose. Because someone once did that for him. This episode is a celebration of resilience, the power of giving without asking, and the kind of kindness that builds futures. 🔴 Episode LIVE ON: India: A Story in the Making FULL VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions PODCAST SMART LINK https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe Loveena Tandon: HOST: SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/loveenatandon/ Twitter/X https://twitter.com/loveenatandon Instagram https://www.instagram.com/loveenatandonofficial/?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D https://www.instagram.com/tandonloveena/?igsh=MW5tOHdlc3cyMGJrOA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@loveenatandon Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometimes, the path we set out on isn’t the one we walk. Sometimes, destiny knocks and changes everything. In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, we bring you the journeys of two incredible women in entertainment—Naila Mughal, a powerhouse casting director, and Tanvi Shah, the first Indian woman to win a Grammy. Neither of them planned for the careers that made them successful. Tanvi was a graphic designer. Naila, a secretary. Then life intervened. Doors they never knocked on opened, pushing them into worlds they hadn’t imagined. Both made it to the top 50 most powerful women list. And then—another twist. Because life never stops surprising. What does it take to embrace the unexpected? To turn chance into opportunity? To rise, fall, and rise again? Their stories are ones of grit, talent, and the courage to say yes to the unknown. 🔴 The episode is LIVE!

I do intermittent fasting, but fasting has always been part of my culture. A stroll after dinner? Just something we did at home, never questioning why. Now, modern science tells us these habits help regulate blood sugar and improve health. But Ayurveda knew it all along—thousands of years before wellness trends made it cool. While 1.3 million Indian students head abroad for education, Adam Baktai did the opposite. Born in Hungary, exposed to Hinduism at just 1.5 years old, he grew up knowing nothing else. At 15, he made a bold choice—to leave everything behind and study in a Gurukul in India, where students live and learn under a guru’s guidance. Two decades later, Adam isn’t just a Hindu astrologer, Vedic pandit, or Ayurveda expert or a Vastu Shastri—he’s someone whose education gave him tools for a holistic life—mind, body, and soul. Adam’s story is unconventional, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant. In a world ruled by AI, what kind of education do we really need? Should we rethink what knowledge is worth passing down? And if you’re curious about the top three Ayurvedic practices for better health—or just want to hear about a man who defied the life he was born into to carve his own destiny—tune in now! 🔴 The episode is LIVE!

This International Women’s Day, as the world rallies behind the call to “Accelerate Action,” I find myself pausing to ask: Accelerate… from where? To what? And with whom? I turn the mirror on myself — reflecting on the life that shaped me, the lessons that carried me through, and what I owe the two people watching me most closely: my daughter and my son. What has the world taught me about being a woman — not just in media, but in life? Nature balances itself effortlessly. Women make up nearly half the world, yet we hold just 30% of senior leadership roles. Why is that? What are we missing? And is this conversation only about women — or is there something bigger we need to see? Join me, as we go beyond the slogans and ask the questions that really matter. Because action is only worth accelerating if it’s taking us all forward.

We often know people by their awards, their achievements, their ambition. But do we ever truly know their struggles, their longings, the quiet voids they carry? Henriett Tunyogi, an award-winning Hungarian ballerina and acclaimed filmmaker, was honoured with Hungary’s highest cultural recognition. Yet behind the applause, something always felt missing. Born into a royal lineage she knew nothing about, Henriett grew up with a family truth deliberately concealed. Why was it hidden? And what does it do to a person to sense their own life is missing a chapter? As a child, she sat on Russian tanks, singing, unaware that the very force she was cheering had torn her family apart. Under Soviet rule, her aristocratic heritage was erased, her family pushed into silence, and her father forced to flee to Austria. So how did Henriett become Ganga? Why did India: the Himalayas, the Kumbh, the pull of mantras, feel like home? This is a story about belief as lived experience, and belonging found in unexpected places. Rooted in Hungary’s past, it carries echoes of today’s Russia–Ukraine war, a reminder that history does not disappear; it returns. If you’ve ever felt the pull of something greater, the need to break free, or the longing to truly belong, this episode is for you. 🔴 LIVE NOW!

Seeing India Through New Eyes They say you can’t truly appreciate something when you’re too close to it—sometimes, the clearest perspective comes from the outside. India: A Story in the Making has given me that fresh lens, making me look at India—and its spiritual depth—not just as someone born into it, but through the eyes of those who found their way to it. Why Would Someone Leave Everything Behind for a Vedic Life? What makes a Canadian-Israeli woman transform into Sukhyanti—embracing a life so deeply rooted in Vedic tradition that she wakes at 4 AM, sends her children to a Gurukul, and lives without modern comforts—yet calls it comforting? How does someone like Vallabhi, who lost her husband young and raised a child alone, find unshakable solace in Krishna—believing that all she must do is keep doing her duty because Krishna still means well? And what led Henriett, a ballerina, filmmaker, and teacher from an aristocratic Hungarian family to India? A simple stone from the Himalayas sparked something in her—drawing her first to yoga, then to the Kumbh, where she was given the name Ganga. Why is the World Turning to Indian Spirituality? What Makes Kumbh More Than Just a Dip in the Ganges? But is this just belief? Or is there an ancient science behind it? Is There a Science Behind Kumbh’s Spiritual Power? What does Kumbh symbolise? What Does This Mean for the World? At its core, Indian spirituality isn’t about geography—it’s about connection. I found mine through Sukhyanti, Vallabhi, and Ganga’s unique journeys, offering me a new way of looking at Kumbh—a festival I grew up with in Ujjain but never saw through this lens. It was clear: whether through mass rituals like Kumbh or solitude in places like Krishna Valley, people are seeking the same thing—a deeper, more meaningful way to exist. The common thread? Hindu spirituality. 🔴 A FASCINATING EPISODE: STORIES OF SUKHYANTI, VALLABHI, AND GANGA HELPING ME UNDERSTAND: Why the World is Tuning into Indian Spirituality Live NOW.

On this Valentine’s Day, I want to ask—what really is love? It’s always amazed me that some of the most enduring stories of love are tales of unrequited love. Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu, Shirin-Farhad, Tristan and Isolde—no matter which part of the world you look at, the theme is the same: love that remains incomplete yet eternal. Standing in the divine Krishna Valley in Somogyvámos, Hungary, I found myself wondering the same thing. I stood before the Radha Krishna murti in the temple—a symbol of love so deep that Radha is believed to be the path to Krishna. And yet, in life, they were never together in the worldly sense. Both were married to others, but their devotion to each other never wavered. It was something far beyond possession or expectation. Sometimes, listening to my teenage children, I wonder if we’re even speaking the same language. It’s not just English that has changed—it’s the very language of relationships and love. Words like situationship, breadcrumbing, ghosting, and love bombing have replaced the older ideas of love and courtship. I wonder what love means to them. In this divine temple, under a grace I cannot fully describe, I felt a strong urge to explore love in a new way. I spoke to two women who have dedicated their lives to the service of Krishna. They are married, living the grahastha life (the life of a householder), with their children studying in the gurukul here. They don’t even want to be called gopis, just humble servants of Krishna. What moved me most? They were not even born in India, nor raised in Hindu culture. Yet their devotion is absolute. I’m still trying to make sense of it all. What is love, really?

“The only decision we should make about India from the UK is not to make decisions about India from the UK,” said Richard Hawkes, CEO of the British Asian Trust, when he stepped into the role. In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, we uncover how a British leader who once knew nothing about India has grown to deeply love the country—to the extent that he finds inspiration in its chaos, enjoys hours in traffic, and applies the concept of jugaad (finding creative solutions with limited resources) in his daily life. Richard shares his unique perspective on what is it about India—its energy, its contradictions, its challenges—that drives him? He believes India’s evolving social sector holds valuable lessons for the world. We also ask Richard about his remarkable journey—how he has consistently held top leadership positions throughout his career, his leadership hacks, and how young people passionate about the social sector can find meaningful work and build fulfilling careers. For anyone interested in leadership, social change, social finance, or understanding India’s complex story, this conversation offers fresh insights and practical takeaways.

Are there traditions around New Year that might speak more deeply to the planet? Across cultures, time has always been more than numbers on a calendar. From the Islamic Hijri to India’s Vikram Samvat, calendars were crafted to harmonize human life with nature, seasons, and spirituality. But in our rush to modernity, have we lost that vital connection? What if New Year wasn’t just about flipping a page, but about realignment — with the planet, with each other, and with us? A moment to pause, reflect, and begin anew in a way that truly matters.

Christmas in Desi Style In a true desi-style this Christmas Eve, India: A Story in the Making brings you a heartfelt tribute to the incomparable Mohammed Rafi Sahab on the centenary of his birth—December 24, 1924. This episode has been nothing short of a joyful journey—immersing myself in Rafi Sahab’s songs, and spending time with his grandson Rizwan and his wife Sabakat, who live in London and run East London Kitchens. What began with a plate of poha and chai flowed into a wholesome dinner of dosa and appam, ending sweetly with paan. It was a meeting full of warmth, delicious food, and stories that lingered in the air long after. Thank you Rizwan Sahab and Sabakat. Rizwan Sahab, with kindness and generosity, shared treasures from his past—precious family photographs that hold a world of memories. Through this “rearview mirror” into his family’s history, we were able to weave together an episode brimming with joy, laughter, and moments that tug at the heart. Life, as they say, is rarely black and white—it thrives in the shades of grey. This conversation, filled with stories that made us laugh and cry all at once, was one of the most enriching experiences.

A few decades ago, and even now to a great extent, telling your parents you want to be a writer was often met with a cautious, if not outright disapproving, “What’s your backup plan?” According to Deloitte, only 13% of people globally are passionate about their jobs. That quiet disconnect—the tension between what pays the bills and what feeds the soul—is something many of us experience. It’s also at the heart of Hamish Morjaria’s incredible journey. Hamish excelled in the world of business, but he never let go of his passion for history. Slowly, he nurtured it, transforming that love into an ambitious historical fiction trilogy. His debut novel, The Curse of Mujiris, (first book of the trilogy) published by Pan Macmillan India, has drawn comparisons to The Da Vinci Code and Indiana Jones—a gripping blend of mystery, adventure, and ancient secrets. With roots in Africa and a life shaped in Britain, what led Hamish to India—and specifically, ancient India—as the focus of his first book? In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, he shares his journey of identity, belonging, and perseverance, along with invaluable tips for aspiring authors. And with Bollywood already showing interest in adapting it for the big screen, this is a story that’s only beginning. If you love historical thrillers or dream of writing your own story, get tips on how to deal with rejections, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how a business leader turned author brought his creative vision to life.

What has the World missed About Modern Indian Architecture? When we think of Indian architecture our mind gravitates to temples, palaces, and timeless symbols of a rich, ancient past. While these are iconic, the narrative is rapidly evolving, a story the world must not miss. By 2023, nearly a third of India’s population had already moved to cities. According to the World Bank, by 2036, 600 million people—40% of the population—will live in urban areas, contributing nearly 70% to GDP. Managing this urban shift will be critical for India to achieve its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, its 100th year of independence. India has done it before. Over 4,000 years ago, the Indus Valley Civilisation set the standard for urban planning with thriving cities, advanced drainage systems, and grid layouts. The question now is: Can India do it again? The Defining Moment With urbanisation comes opportunity—and challenge. India faces critical decisions about sustainability, overpopulation, and balancing the preservation of heritage with the need for progress. The Big Questions In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, we dive into pressing questions about India’s architectural journey: What challenges does New India face as it urbanises? What is modern urban planning getting right—and wrong? What has the world missed about India’s evolving architecture? How is AI shaping the future of design? The Experts To unpack these topics, I speak with two fascinating voices: Dikshu C. Kukreja, Director of the CP Kukreja Foundation for Design Excellence: A prominent figure in modern Indian architecture, Dikshu is actively shaping the urban transformation story of India. Sumita Singha OBE, RIBA Trustee, Architect, Author, and Educator: Having left India decades ago, Sumita offers a reflective perspective from abroad—on how New India has written its architectural story so far, what it has missed, and what the world needs to understand. Why This Story Matters India’s urban journey is the world’s business. The choices made today in its cities will shape global trends in sustainability, design, and climate action. This isn’t just India’s story—it’s a global one. Tune in to explore the challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons of modern Indian architecture. Whether you’re curious about urbanisation or love stories of transformation, this episode is for you.

In a country still grappling with poverty and deprivation, where "chaos" is a way of life, sceptics might see this question as loaded. But for Professor Debashis Chatterjee, it’s an opportunity to rewrite the narrative. Fresh from organizing a conference in London, titled Globalising Indian Thought, Professor Chatterjee brings a bold vision to the table—one that redefines what India can offer the world. When we sat down for what was meant to be a 45-minute discussion, it turned into a deeply engrossing conversation that stretched over twice the time. His passion for Indian thought and its relevance today was infectious—and I hope you find as much value in it as I did. A distinguished Professor and the longest-serving Director of an IIM, he leads one of India’s most iconic institutions—a product of Nehru’s vision to create a world-class educational ecosystem modelled on the likes of Harvard. Yet, he boldly questions, “What’s Indian about these Indian Institutes of Management?”—a question he is applying directly to IIM Kozhikode, the institution he leads. This provocative question drives his mission to transform IIM Kozhikode into a modern-day Gurukul, blending ancient Indian wisdom with contemporary leadership. And here’s why this matters: Did you know that more than 20 Indian-origin CEOs head billion-dollar companies globally? These leaders aren’t just products of great institutions—they’re rooted in a way of thinking that combines resilience, adaptability, and community-driven values. As the author of books like Karma Sutra: Leadership and Wisdom in Uncertain Times and Timeless Leadership: 18 Leadership Sutras from the Bhagavad Gita, and 17 such books, Professor Chatterjee brings ancient philosophy into sharp focus for modern leadership challenges. For him, the world doesn’t need another technological revolution from the West. What it needs is a cognitive revolution, one that only India’s unique thought process can lead. This episode isn’t just about India’s rise—it’s about understanding the mindset behind it. If you’re someone curious about what Indian thought really means, its relevance today, how to make sense of the “chaos” that India often brings, or simply want to learn what true leadership looks like, this conversation is for you. Professor Chatterjee’s insights are profound yet practical, drawn from decades of experience and a deep belief that India is uniquely poised to lead the world—not by imitating, but by innovating and inspiring. So, tune in to hear why he believes the 21st century belongs to India, how a cognitive revolution could reshape leadership, and what lessons this ancient yet modern nation holds for all of us navigating a rapidly changing world.

What does it take for someone born and raised outside India to make it in Bollywood? In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, we explore the incredible journey of Taha Shah Badussha, the standout star of Netflix's Heeramandi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. For Taha, a 'Gulf Boy,' it took 14-15 years of relentless struggle to achieve this success. What inspired a boy with Indian roots, raised in the Gulf, to pursue acting? How did he overcome the challenges? And what advice does he have for aspiring actors aiming for Bollywood?

ABOUT Taha Shah Badussha Born in Abu Dhabi to Dr. Shah Sikkander Badusha and Mahnaz Sikkander Badusha, Taha's education spanned several countries. He studied in Abu Dhabi, India, and Sharjah, but left college early to pursue his passion for acting at the New York Film Academy in Abu Dhabi.

Free Trade Agreement between India and the UK has been in the works for some time. In this episode, we speak with Baroness Arlene Foster, who currently chairs Inter Trade UK and was the first female First Minister of Northern Ireland, about whether part of the delay comes from the colonial hangover that Britain still needs to shed completely.

Are we viewing the world solely through the lenses of patriarchy and feminism, or is there another perspective to consider? Looking at the strong women deities in Hindu philosophy, we are inclined to think: Is the Hindu Goddess a Feminist? These lingering questions inspire us to reflect. Despite India's pride in powerful goddesses like Durga, Kali, and Chandi, we're confronted with harsh realities like dowry deaths, low female mortality and literacy rates. The issues might vary, but the conversation around the odds against women is not too dissimilar in western countries. Case in point the UK: from domestic violence to the gender pay gap both and many such are pressing issues that the society faces. Join Catherine Rowan, born in the UK, and myself, born in India, as we connect on the issues surrounding women. Catherine shares how she, as a Western woman, found her freedom in these formidable Hindu deities and now uses these concepts to liberate individuals from their fears, unveiling their true potential. If you feel trapped in life or relationships, join us on this journey to discover your authentic power.

Empowerment is sometimes an overused term, especially when discussing women, and even more so during Women's Day. What does that word really mean, and how can it be applied to people's lives? India is often perceived as a conservative country, while Western society is viewed as more liberal. Personally, I never felt that way when I came to stay in the UK. When similar thoughts resonated during a spontaneous luncheon with five women, all from the same country but with different backgrounds, it was like witnessing an episode of "India: A Story in the Making." It all started with the question - Do borders define boundaries? And then one thing led to another, resulting this episode on: Unfiltered conversations: Do borders define boundaries? This impromptu shoot was facilitated by Maitri Raunak Patel, the house help of the day, who hails from a village in Gujarat, India. Believe me; she knew much more and revealed herself as a keen photographer. The proof is in the pudding. That lunch became one of the most memorable experiences. Whether you are from India or not, it will touch you, as it delves into universal emotions of love, strength, respect and friendship, wrapped in many heartwarming stories.

This is the story of David Stollar. David lives in London and it has always been his home. He dropped out of A levels, and yet defied the odds to become a teacher… and then something even rarer: the Englishman who helped shape how Sanskrit is taught in the UK, writing course books, and contributing to the GCSE syllabus. David has never set foot in India. And still, Sanskrit became his unexpected connection to something ancient, beautiful, and profoundly human. There was a time when David fell into deep depression and sometimes felt suicidal. What helped him hold on and slowly rebuild was study, discipline, and the guiding light of his life: the Bhagavad Gita. David's captivating journey unfolds in India: A Story in the Making.

Strolling on the beautiful, stone-engraved streets of Marbella in Southern Spain, I never imagined I'd discover so much of India. It all began with the revelation that Flamenco, the eloquently powerful dance from Andalusia, Spain, has a surprising link to India. This discovery led me to Asami, a single mom of two and an incredible Flamenco dancer.As I delved into the Flamenco-India connection with Asami, I was inspired by her journey – a Japanese woman teaching and performing Flamenco in Marbella. Sometimes, the place of birth doesn't ensure a feeling of belonging. My quest continued with Pedro Gonzales, a Flamenco teacher at Aloha College in Malaga, Spain. Watching his group perform, the unmistakable influence of Indian dance forms in Flamenco became apparent. Flamenco runs in Pedro's family. Despite his many pursuits, it's through Flamenco that he feels he gets his "Soul Salary." This India connection in Spain didn't stop at Flamenco. While wandering these charming streets of Marbella, I met a few more fascinating individuals like Emanuela and Simon, each with unique connections to India. Emanuela sources her clothes from the capital of India, New Delhi, and designs them in Italian style, reflecting her origins. She sells these outfits in Marbella. Simon, on the other hand, travels three times a year to buy furniture directly from artisans in Rajasthan, India. His shop sits at the top of the posh Puerto Banus area of Marbella, overlooking the mountains and surrounded by restaurants. If human spirit and stories intrigue you, this is the episode for you. Come, listen in and unravel the enchanting tales of Marbella's streets, where the echoes of India intertwine with the rhythms of Flamenco.
