I am in trouble here,' and I was a little bit flustered. I am not going to be one of the MBA students hired now. “I'm in the boardroom, he's in the middle (There are) Managers around, listening to my presentation I get to the slide with this insight or observation that I had found, and he tilts his head, looks at it, and then blurts out “Bullshit!”Īt that moment I was like, 'Oh crap, I have just stepped in it.

It’s a must-listen conversation - especially for men!Ĭontact links: The Womaning in India Substack newsletter Womaning in India on - Twitter - Instagram - LinkedIn - Mahima's LinkedIn profile Email: This podcast was hosted by me, Ravishankar Iyer. In addition to her take on the craft of storytelling, Mahima also offers some perspective on the gender rights movement and why, despite all the gloom, there’s reason to be optimistic for the future. She takes incidents shared by her network of friends and adds her narrative abilities and her own brand of humour to convert these into highly readable stories. Her approach in sharing them: There’s a lot to learn from Mahima’s storytelling process. For the world to become a better place, a more equitable place, it is critical that these stories are shared widely, especially with men. Her choice of topic: Mahima writes about gender issues - a topic that impacts all of us, but has limited options in terms of engaging storytelling for those who want to know more.
(One of Mahima’s superpowers is her ability to take crappy 1990s Bollywood movie references and extract comedy gold from them!) So, two things that make Mahima a special storyteller for me:ġ. Stories that are told with honesty, engagement, empathy, relatability… and generous amounts of humour. And while these stories are backed by research and stats, Mahima’s main tool is her collection of stories. Issues like discrimination at the workplace, mental load at home, unequal sharing of domestic chores, under-representation at leadership levels across fields…and so on. In the 'Womaning in India' newsletter, Mahima shares stories about everyday issues faced by women.
I was introduced to Mahima’s writing through Anustup Nayak on Twitter.
But it’s rare to come across a guest who - apart from storytelling - has also taught me how to be a better person. In my podcast, all my guests have taught me a lot about the craft of storytelling.
(You haven't subscribed yet? Off you go and sign yourself up pronto!). So that's how I started speaking to women and collecting these stories.Īnd the whole idea behind it, which seems to be working so far, is that you can deny opinions, you can question studies, but you cannot deny real experiences of real people.” That is Mahima Vashisht, the incredibly talented writer of the 'Womaning in India' newsletter.
