They Called Me a ‘White Indian’ - Identity, Belonging & Living Between Worlds

I filmed this episode from a hotel patio in New Delhi - and that alone felt strange to say. I hadn’t really been in India like this for almost six years. In that time, I moved countries, built a career, left a stable job, and quietly questioned who I was more times than I can count.

I filmed this episode from a hotel patio in New Delhi - and that alone felt strange to say. I hadn’t really been in India like this for almost six years. In that time, I moved countries, built a career, left a stable job, and quietly questioned who I was more times than I can count.

Sachin and Sachin go deep on the moments that shaped the work - the visible wins, the invisible costs, and the frameworks that survived the experience.
