I really admire Bhumi and Mirik. Sunita and Navroz are working in the field and know so much, whereas, the primary job of the other two is not that. And still, they are taking some action and are quite knowledgeable about it.
Can we all just appreciate the pop-ups in these podcasts that provides a clearer picture to what they are talking about eg. articles referred or companies mentioned. Such a value packed episode 👌
Sunita mam really knows her game, agricultural pumps with solar definitely intersects with the ground water problem, this is the reason city municipalities does not approve submersible pumps for non-commercial usage.
Nikhil- You are right. We need to have more conversations around it. I recently did my Masters in Sustainable and Business from the UK. I am back in India because, being an ex-entrepreneur, I know there is so much to do here. However, there are fewer job opportunities in the sustainability sector. It would be lovely if you use your platform to create more awareness about climate change, sustainability, circular economy, etc.
Today, I learnt about climate change and how to ignore obnoxious impostors/"virtue signalling" individuals while identifying the right people in a room to learn and gain knowledge.
We are really poor at doing things that are good in the long run, but have limited immediate impact. Forget climate change (which is a very important issue), we are not able to cut out junk food, mindless scrolling or exercise consistently even when my survival as an individual is dependent on these. How are we humans ever going to work on something that is global!?
Guys, we should not bash Bhumi. You need to understand that she’s just starting on this journey where the other 2 who are contributing the most to this discussion, come from decades of experience working on this cause. What’s important is the intention, I appreciate the fact that she’s actually started on this journey. She’ll know more with time.
I told about podcast in SF . Just love how this podcast is produced and how well it’s done . I literally like it better than all in podcast . Well done team and thanks Nikhil
Seriously I am saying recently I was sitting in a group discussion for a interview really I faced this situation where I got topic of economy development vs climate change dam I don’t what is climate we just went to speak about economy development at last Hr stopped us and started scolding for 20 min that moment I felt ashamed but finally this Ep made to think out of the box and proper knowledge of climate change seriously thank u Nikhil for this wonderful episode
The best discussion happen with fresh set of eyes, sometimes its important to have someone who brings new perpective to the table, I believe the team should call upon the kids from tier 3 goverment school to join the podcast!!! this change the view of most pple like me, who things villages kinds don't give a shit but they learn quite alot about environment. I can go all day about irony of couple ppl sitting in AC office, determine about how campaign of the climate change is defined in world. So, the idea behind having ppl from various groups backgrounds on the same table must be welcomed, is how I feel and I have reasoned why !!!
@@harshp7364 Thanks for being thoughtful but they had an option of calling one out of 1.4 billion people for a fresh set of eyes. Beauty without brain (on this topic) does not help.
Hi Nikhil and All, I liked the video and appreciate what each of the speakers has done to curb climate change. Thanks bhumi for your doing your bit to curb climate change, however a lot more needs to be done . Some interesting facts shared by Sunita about how rivers once brimming and sparkling with fresh clean water have been reduced to stinking and smelly sewage pits. However, the tone in which this whole video could've been presented could've been a bit more 'harsher' rather 'in your face'! I am an Engineer and Climate Scientist, currently developing green energy and contingency systems with scientists across the globe. The days of 'discussing' about climate change are over, like yesterday or the day before. This is the time to take action, hence my request to make the presentation harsher. Since, the advent of the industrial age, the volumes of CO, CO2, SO2, HFC's, benzene, toluene, xylenes, cumenes, coumarone, indene, benzofuran, naphthalene, acenaphthene, methylnaphthalenes, fluorine, phenol, cresols, pyridine, picolines, phenanthracene, carbazole, quinolines, fluoranthene, and pyrene have been spiking up gradually. CO2 alone which had a low (safe) concentration of 150 to 200 PPM pre-industrial level's is now 424 PPM as per the NOAA data. 1 PPM of CO2 = 7.83 gigatons, therefore 424 PPM of CO2 = 3,319.92 gigatons of CO2 in the atmosphere currently and I havent even mentioned the volumes of the other gases and pollutants yet. We are currently breathing a toxic mixture of lethal chemicals right now, which explains modern diseases. Widespread deforestation in the name of infrastructure and I hate this word 'Realty', 'Real Estate', has caused earth to lose her natural carbon sinks aka radiators aka heat exchangers or dissipators. Result the earth boiled with every tree we cut, gradually coming now to a point of no return! Yes, we are now in a point of no return, uncharted territory. Lets come to the fun parts shall we, its not just the land which is getting hot, the seas and oceans are getting hot too. Now you've studied engineering, and you'd know that land cools down faster than water. So the water is boiling over the day time and its not cooling fast enough, even during the night, so the temparature of the seas and oceans is multiplying exponentially. Which explains the rapid elting of the glaciers. As we speak A23/A23A a huge antartic glacier has just melted off the southern ocean. Its the size of the city of Dubai, about 4100 square kilometers. Entire Ice shelves are melting off pouring gazillions of tons of fresh water into the ocean. Changing the salinity and physical and chemical properties of sea/ocean water. This has caused a change in our currents, which explains the back to back catastrophic cyclones and CAT6 hurricanes which have hit India, Australia, Acapulco, Mexico, USA and the list goes on. Thousands dead. I tracked the one of Acapulco and its wind speed was 150 to 200 kms per hour. The tornado in Libya literally flung people into the ocean and drowned them. Cars, people just flew and landed in the ocean the next second. They were unaware, they drowned, got eaten by sharks. So many missing till date. USA's west coast is experiencing an unprecedented chain of storms and hurricanes, which scientists termed Pineapple Express. Atmospheric Rivers or Rivers in the sky, which conveniently and happily fall over cities and people and drown them! It's not just the upper crust of the earth and seas who are affected. Global Warming and the resultant Climate Change have also caused a series of seismic events. Back ot back devastating earthquakes, Turkey's 8.0 or Indian Oceans 10.0 earthquakes still rattle the spines of even the bravest of bravehearts. Nature and Mother Earth have become monsters, baring fangs and wielding unseen, unheard of weapons in their hands. Who caused all this? Us, the human civilization, although I'd like to argue that there is nothing human about us, atleast not anymore. And yet some of us return home the end of each day and crash into the arms of our better halves, the so called 'babies and shonas' and start our god given reproductive engines, without even waiting for the green signals and proudly make clones of ourselves. Oh its just 140 crorer you know, just 16 crore football teams or 12.72 crore cricket teams. "Screw the effing climate, I gotta oil and keep ma engines runnin you know!". To answer Sunitas question in detail, there is lake in Bangalore, which had sparkling water, fishes and migratory birds throughout the year. Over a period of 10 years, a lot of apartments and houses came up and they connected their sewage pipelines directly to the lake, much against the pollution guidelines of the state. The result, a huge stinking, sewage pot, full of shit balls. This has caused irrepairable ground water contamination, so much that it contains E Coli and other dangerous bacteria and viruses. A volunteer group of scientists including me undertook the water testing and proudly presented the results to the residents and informed them of how wonderfully, they are consuming bacteria and viruses each day and how it is destroying them from the inside. I am glad to inform you that there are no more fish in that lake and the migratory birds have made nests in the neighboring apartments feeding on left over rice and other garbage. You know when I look at this whole situation from a third dimension, it feels like we lit a huge pile of coal and sat on it. It felt warm and nice at first but got unbearable when it began burning into our asses and to douze this fire, we'd have to do something that Joe Pantoliano and Brian Haley did to Joe Mantegna - Kick some balls!
@rutvikrs You're right bhai. But look at the ideation part in the podcast. Where problem is discussed in policy making and how new approaches can be used to tackle that. That's proper entrepreneurial thinking
I started with disinterest and ended up making notes of companies like Selco which gives me scope for entrepreneur ideas as I have my parents from rural farming background .. that’s the effect of your podcasts!!! Commendable ! All I can say is a big thanks for the knowledge your sharing and indeed making an impact !! 👏👏
This is one of your best podcasts and very educational. I hope these people can become advisors for the government to make these policy changes and as Sunita was saying big changes are needed.
People need to know bhumi is just the face of whatever cause she is with The amount of hollowness about her care for climate change 'she would collect chanda' clearly she is out of her element Please bring the brain not the face
I had fair idea about climate change to the extent things I can change my life and also educate others. But this podcast provided nuanced information about so many things which are connected to each other and climate change. Thanks Nikhil !
Amazing podcast, a new concept learned about discoms and free electricity to farmers being a problem. I am a MSc Environmental Studies student but didn't really look into the problem of Climate Change from a social angle but always from a technological angle as was taught to me. So this was quite mind opening. Now as the next step I bought "Down to Earth" magazine by CSE organisation of Sunita Mam.
Just wanted to add a little if I may, I am 32 and have worked with the Government of India and Canada in wildlife research and environmental sciences. I worked with the the Project Tiger and Project Elephant, as this episode was meant for younger generations me having a science background still found it complicated to understand.
That was such an interesting episode. Sunita really knows her area and truly has expert opinions on climate change. I really like all the details with which she offered her side of the explanation. The best thing about this podcast is I could imagine sitting on the same table as these guys. There is something very interesting about this format as the viewers really feel they are part of the table. Also as always, Kudos to Nikhil and his team for choosing these topics and for casting the experts with different personas but with similar mission.
what if climate change was a myth? what happened to the ozone layer? we were taught is school Australia was going to burn like hell? now no one talks about it
Well! It's your right to be judgemental and dogmatic about her intro in which she is using bit of a sarcasm and humour but she is genuinely concern about the climate change and she is doing stuff for the change like she started project climate global warrior in 2023 where she raised the issue about climate change and also the bhumi foundation. You should be less opiniated and more open just because she is an actress doesn't mean that she can't have genuine attentiveness towards earth.
@@Mappppaa No, I never said she isn't doing anything. Did I? Did I say that I skipped because she is an actress? You are being dogmatic and judgemental. If I was, then I wouldn't watch her intro too. But I did and simply couldn't watch it further. You are assuming all the things about her being an actress and other BS. To be frank, I haven't watched any film of hers. I mostly don't even watch bollywood content. I just realised that her name is spelled as Bhumi and Bhoomi. That itself should give you an indication of how much I know about her.
People need to know bhumi is just the face of whatever cause she is with The amount of hollowness about her care for climate change 'she would collect chanda' clearly she is out of her element Please bring the brain not the face
Ah! Love Sunita Narain taking centre stage! If anyone's looking for a direction, listen to her, add Navroz Dubash's highlights, Mirik's counter (old systematic hold ups), and Bhumi's courage to keep up with the times despite the Entertainment Business's callousness. Great show Nikhil, your questions are for sure bonus for R&D lookout for the clueless funding seeking youth. Loved it. I will be watching it again!
Huge fan of this podcast and I wait for episode to arrive. In this episode I see people cutting each other off at times. Great conversation but at times missed little patience
Interesting and long discussion on climate change. One of the major contributors to climate change is factory style production of animals for meat. Panel should have touched that topic and it is straight forward to change our lifestyle to reduce meat consumption across the world.
Has anyone else noticed the ads in video. As far as I recall it is supposed to be ad free. Why the sudden change. This channel was a charity project right?
We need another session with this theme to discuss opportunities here for entrepreneurs, this session was essential to understand the concepts, background, ground reality. That may be true for all the themes this far 😊
We are back with another poll, where Ajay, Vijay, Sajith, and I together are grateful to contribute 75 Lakhs for the most voted charity. Deadline: 24th Aug. 8:00 p.m. (IST).
Only person who talk about real climate change is acharya Prashant . The human consumption mind , Non-veg . This are real issue we should address. All other process is just superficial methods core lies in human consciousness.
Hey that was a very informative episode. Would love to see more of Mirik in your other podcasts as well. He was the most optimistic and focused one for solutions so we could connect with him more. Would have loved to see him getting more screen time. Overall a great awakening episode 🎉 Climate change is real and we got to do our bit to save mother earth.
Guests: "I'll let Mirik weigh in on this" [...] Also the guests: *proceeds to not let Mirik weigh in on this.* 😂😂 Usually Nikhil is better at balancing the discussion hahaha but it's not totally in his control.
This podcast is really good, Sunita did present her thoughts wonderfully though others were not able to express because of the aggressiveness from her side. Would have loved to hear from Navroz
Super informative!! Thanks a lot, Nikhil and team! 🙏 Would have loved Nitin Gadkari on this podcast or a government representative to understand their perspective, which would have made this podcast more well-rounded.
27:54 I like this podcast cuz of Nikhil’s hard hitting questions. It’s like he reads the mind of the listener & poses those questions. Keep asking tough questions Nikhil
Bollywood representation on the table gets eye balls hence Bhumi is there. As a communications professional I am a big believer of the narrative, keeping it alive with storytelling for the larger audience and also spoon feeding behaviours for people to adopt on an individual level to play their part. By simply harping climate change it will not impact the larger society coz they don’t know what has to be done to address it. Apart from putting pressure on governments we need to sensitise the larger audience by driving behaviours that they can adopt. I came across these amazing behaviour videos made in Japan to educate their people on hygiene, how to dispose personal litter, how spitting leads to spreading of disease. Someday I would love to make content around this topic for our people. We need to drive behaviours in local languages. that’s when change will start shaping up. Unfortunately all these conversations are limited only to the English speaking population of our country. Nikhil it will nice if you get sub titles for these conversations in local languages. People can choose the language of choice of their region. May be an expensive investment for the pod cast but then you are also a billionaire who cares.
Great session which touches on all the possible options for clean energy. Being a materials scientist and engineer who does upscaling, research into nuclear energy (exploring thorium and its use since India has plenty) should definitely be on a priority list for the future. However, we need the action now so replicating waste management, CNG generation practices and its uses in Indore should be implemented in the near future. It can be easily upscaled, technology is readily available and successful case is already present.
I didn't know CFC was produced by just one company, this is insane. My text books had a lot about ozone layer depletion, but nothing about its production. Moral of the story:Never read textbook, do your own research.
The first time I was exposed to the subject of Environmental Science was through a compulsory course that was started in ICSE schools back in my time(2007). Heard that it was discontinued later. Almost 20 years down the line, if it was continued and this subject was pushed to be taught in all levels of education, today the awareness levels would have been different in India. A developing Country in a tropical region with the highest population, basic environmental education is important!
Wasn't up to the standards of other episodes, and couldn't take away much. 1. a lot of high-level talk with a lack of So-what/relatability 2. Faffing around, Example- Definition of climate change! except for 1 of them, the rest were just completely beating around the bush. 3. Did not have anyone disagreeing or talking about the other side who would help push the envelope (but maybe that wasn't the objective) But thanks for putting up these episodes super helpful & insightful.
Interesting discussion. It would be nice to also add non-interruption as a ground rule :) Please bring Amit Varma and Ajay Shah to discuss public policy and economics.
Wonderful thought by Sunita...we should not use any tech whose principle is to meddle with nature... because we are fighting that huge meddling with nature...good red line..Gandhi's red line was "non violence".... Very interesting...
Bhumi is right about film industry not caring about the environment but inadvertently film industry has also reduced its carbon footprint in the recent years, thanks to VFX. Hopefully shooting n a volume (virtual production) & sets/props made using 3d printing will help in reducing the carbon footprint even more.
Hi Nikhil - Please do a podcast - WTF is Intellectual Property? Indian businesses, especially MSMEs and Startups need to know more about intellectual property and how to leverage their intellectual property to create value for their business.
निखिल आप बहुत शानदार है आपका काम पसंद है और आप इंसान भी अच्छे है लेकिन एक गुजारिश है आपसे आप अगर बिजनेस की जो बात करते है इस चैनल पर मुझे लगता है कुछ ही परसेंट लोग होंगे जो आपको बातचीत को समझ पाते होंगे इंग्लिश में बात करना अच्छा है लेकिन अगर थी चीज हिंदी डालेंगे तो हो सकता है बहुत लोग सुने और सुनकर कुछ अपने जीवन में अच्छा करे। ये मेरी एक suggation है। अगर कुछ बदलाव करते है तो अच्छा लगेगा।🙏
Sunita Narain at 2:20:33 sumed it up why women are actively read to participate in this society be it in office, business, home, etc. The fundamental point she made on society rewarding non-destructible creations are the root cause. And men quickly changed the topic just after.
Thank you for creating such amazing content, lot of learning from investment perspective as well. I wish you create a podcast on Agri business. If someone wants to enter in this space, what are the prospects. Lots of people see Agri business as their 2nd work innings.
Even though the intent and the content was good, this episode was very difficult to finish - mainly because there were so many interruptions and talking over each other - sometimes resulting completely killing the other person’s point mid sentence. I love the way Nikhil usually politely enforces structure in the conversation but in this particular episode the guests were so loud and inconsiderate that they didn’t even let Nikhil speak properly also. Hope that for future episodes some ground rules and podcast discipline is enforced. (This is just honest feedback, WTF is my favorite podcast which has made me interested and curious about topics I’ve never even given much thought about and I eagerly wait for each and every episode. Lots of love and congratulations to the full team!)
Wow ..shifting track in a very settled way.....Bhumi??? can we now expect a podcast featuring HIMESH RESHAMIYA , RANU MANDAL AND KACHA BADAM SINGER Discussing about the future of viral music.
I'm a long time fan of this podcast but i just found a new drinking game: 1. Take a shot everytime you realise that Mirik is still there. 2. Take a sip every time someone interrupts Mirik. Dude's got some awesome perspective and solution focused mindset... but two of the very knowledgeable guests (who i did enjoy hearing from) need to give the guy some air time. 😂
Don't embarrass yourself in public. You really have no clue what Sunita Narain has done for this country's environmental policies and a lot, lot more. If she comes across that way, she has a right to be -- after all her tremendous efforts. Go educate yourself before opinionating online.
Glad that someone other than Acharya Prashant is at least trying to talk about Climate Change as a topic and that too to a large scale & so insightfully! Loved the knowledge of panelists & what they are trying to do for the environment in their own ways. Please do more podcasts on this very topic & explaining it even more deeply! One suggestion: Please don't invite Sunita again she was right but didn't let anyone else speak! She spoke so much that the whole podcast seemed kind of incoherent! She maybe good for prime time debates but not for the new age podcasts she doesn't vibe with the audience you are trying to target & vibe is what our generation takes more seriously than a topic like this.
Bhumi is important as she's the most receptive person in the industry to take this info back and clearly cares with all her covid efforts we saw. Shes respectful and listens for most of it, give her a break. For others and Nikhil for an intellectual deep dive into the energy question listen to nate hagens and daniel schmachtenberger.
what about the spent fuel that needs to be stored away? is that considered while calculating the cost curve? Also the gestation time being so lengthy, any divergence from execution plan will have negative effect on IRR and it poses risk in capital budgeting which indicates that nuclear has less economic incentives compared to wind and solar
Great topic! Loving it as I am watching it as I write this. I had to fast forward a little bit when Sunitha spoke, she kept interrupting so much at the start, I do understand her passion.
Watched the entire episode and I still wonder WTF is Climate Change. I was waiting for an explanation on how we know it's real and skipping all the fancy jargon and just telling us about how we know the global climate is changing, what will happen if it changes. I have watched all 15 episodes this was the most confusing one yet.
I wish they spoke about soil as well, since their is spiritual guy from india who raised this issue on a global stage & i wanted to know whether it was a serious problem.
Weird how Sunita ma'am forgot to mention the unique sewage treatment of Kolkata through its wetlands. And the importance of conserving that ecosystem, which is infact a Ramsar site as well.
AT 01:28:OO he asked a question that if the price is charged differently during day and night, Yes the rate is different as there are 2 different charges in Gujarat in industrial bill where during the peak hours TOU is charged during day and at night the industry gets a night rebate. This is applicable in Gujarat, I dont know about other states
Hi @nikhil and team big learner from your show. Coming straight to point that i enable Captions with the video for better understanding of words and structures of statement and i also love the way you show the simplify definitions of these complex and unheard words but the thing that is happening is both are overlapping each other quite a bit now so in order to read a definition i have to first pause the video turn off the captions then read and get back to the video and turn on the captions. It will be really helpful if somehow both can be simentaniously without taking with the extra time. Hope i won’t be much of a problem.

Also how crazy nikhil is,to honestly ask when he simply doesn't know something and only adds when he knows something...so much focused listening...!!
💯
Only addition i would like is to keep them the popups for a little longer on-screen.
Grew up reading about Sunita and have always admired the work she has done, it was amazing to finally hear her share her journey
Getting her to stop talking was the difficult bit.
She's so passionate it's incredible to see
When Nikhil mentioned about Sunita’s conversation with Leonardo Decaprio , just went back and saw that as well, she nailed it!
That was Robbie Margot
Is it available on UA-cam?
To have the opportunity to hear people like Sunita and Navroz is why I love this pod.
Lol 😂
Navroz is vicious! and why just the elite voices?
You know something you can hear them outside this pod as well, if you really want to.😂
Sunita mam really knows her game, agricultural pumps with solar definitely intersects with the ground water problem, this is the reason city municipalities does not approve submersible pumps for non-commercial usage.
What nonsense. Do you pay for the solar pumps which are expensive. Who ll protect the panels in open fields?
Sunita was the obnoxious environmentalist everyone knows. I bet she smokes to "handle stress" 😂

A volunteer group of scientists including me undertook the water testing and proudly presented the results to the residents and informed them of how wonderfully, they are consuming bacteria and viruses each day and how it is destroying them from the inside. I am glad to inform you that there are no more fish in that lake and the migratory birds have made nests in the neighboring apartments feeding on left over rice and other garbage. You know when I look at this whole situation from a third dimension, it feels like we lit a huge pile of coal and sat on it. It felt warm and nice at first but got unbearable when it began burning into our asses and to douze this fire, we'd have to do something that Joe Pantoliano and Brian Haley did to Joe Mantegna - Kick some balls!
Bhai log....this is what you call a real podcast. Every second has value pumped into it.
There was Zero value. Activism isn't entrepreneurship.
@rutvikrs You're right bhai. But look at the ideation part in the podcast. Where problem is discussed in policy making and how new approaches can be used to tackle that. That's proper entrepreneurial thinking
I started with disinterest and ended up making notes of companies like Selco which gives me scope for entrepreneur ideas as I have my parents from rural farming background .. that’s the effect of your podcasts!!! Commendable ! All I can say is a big thanks for the knowledge your sharing and indeed making an impact !! 👏👏
Love the energy and enthusiasm Ms Sunita has while talking about cng and excreta matters even after so many years of she following her passion😊
The only contribution that Bhumi made to this entire conversation was a consistent "Hmmmmm.....".
Awestruck by knowledge of Sunita and the way she proves her point , damn...kudos to this person
This is one of your best podcasts and very educational. I hope these people can become advisors for the government to make these policy changes and as Sunita was saying big changes are needed.
You can tell Bhumi does it for virtue signalling.
Bang on😂
Yup , she had such big platforms in the country and i have never heard her talk about climate change before .
People need to know bhumi is just the face of whatever cause she is with
The amount of hollowness about her care for climate change 'she would collect chanda' clearly she is out of her element
Please bring the brain not the face
Yes
I had fair idea about climate change to the extent things I can change my life and also educate others.
But this podcast provided nuanced information about so many things which are connected to each other and climate change.
Thanks Nikhil !
28:36 Sunita talking down to Bhumi like CNG means Compressed Natural Gas? 😂
Ah yes. My go to for all climate change related stuff. *Bhumi Pednekar*
My thoughts exactly.
16 mins in and she interrupted the speaker 5 times already without any inputs. Why is she even there
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmfao
Amazing podcast, a new concept learned about discoms and free electricity to farmers being a problem. I am a MSc Environmental Studies student but didn't really look into the problem of Climate Change from a social angle but always from a technological angle as was taught to me. So this was quite mind opening. Now as the next step I bought "Down to Earth" magazine by CSE organisation of Sunita Mam.
Just wanted to add a little if I may, I am 32 and have worked with the Government of India and Canada in wildlife research and environmental sciences. I worked with the the Project Tiger and Project Elephant, as this episode was meant for younger generations me having a science background still found it complicated to understand.
That was such an interesting episode. Sunita really knows her area and truly has expert opinions on climate change. I really like all the details with which she offered her side of the explanation. The best thing about this podcast is I could imagine sitting on the same table as these guys. There is something very interesting about this format as the viewers really feel they are part of the table. Also as always, Kudos to Nikhil and his team for choosing these topics and for casting the experts with different personas but with similar mission.
Haha, love the shirt Nikhil. True altruism is definitely a myth unlike climate change!
😁😁
what if climate change was a myth? what happened to the ozone layer? we were taught is school Australia was going to burn like hell? now no one talks about it
I guess it’s customised, have been hunting for it for a long time now
@@venkateshpanchariya my best guess is, that Nikhil got the quote printed on a Lulu Lemon tshirt.
I happily skipped parts where Bhoomi was speaking after watching her intro.
Well! It's your right to be judgemental and dogmatic about her intro in which she is using bit of a sarcasm and humour but she is genuinely concern about the climate change and she is doing stuff for the change like she started project climate global warrior in 2023 where she raised the issue about climate change and also the bhumi foundation.
You should be less opiniated and more open just because she is an actress doesn't mean that she can't have genuine attentiveness towards earth.
And your comment is a mirror for your judgemental and dogmatic behaviour. Typical internet White knight. 😭@@Mappppaa
@@Mappppaa No, I never said she isn't doing anything. Did I? Did I say that I skipped because she is an actress? You are being dogmatic and judgemental. If I was, then I wouldn't watch her intro too. But I did and simply couldn't watch it further. You are assuming all the things about her being an actress and other BS. To be frank, I haven't watched any film of hers. I mostly don't even watch bollywood content. I just realised that her name is spelled as Bhumi and Bhoomi. That itself should give you an indication of how much I know about her.
@@Mappppaaare you his pr
People need to know bhumi is just the face of whatever cause she is with

One of the best panels. Kudos to Nikhil. Loved everyone in the panel including the actress who passionately nodding head. Really useful conversation.
Ah! Love Sunita Narain taking centre stage! If anyone's looking for a direction, listen to her, add Navroz Dubash's highlights, Mirik's counter (old systematic hold ups), and Bhumi's courage to keep up with the times despite the Entertainment Business's callousness. Great show Nikhil, your questions are for sure bonus for R&D lookout for the clueless funding seeking youth. Loved it. I will be watching it again!
+1
Sunita's energy 🔥🔥 Thankyou Nikhil for introducing this topic to us
Huge fan of this podcast and I wait for episode to arrive. In this episode I see people cutting each other off at times. Great conversation but at times missed little patience
At 42:52 listening Sunita felt like Odisha is great at water treatment. Love my state. ❣️
Interesting and long discussion on climate change. One of the major contributors to climate change is factory style production of animals for meat. Panel should have touched that topic and it is straight forward to change our lifestyle to reduce meat consumption across the world.
Nikhil gets that extra “awe” when he talks about Bollywood and brings representation from Bollywood. He is innocent
Has anyone else noticed the ads in video. As far as I recall it is supposed to be ad free. Why the sudden change. This channel was a charity project right?
25:28 what a question Nikhil👏🏻
😂 her answer was better 😂
We need another session with this theme to discuss opportunities here for entrepreneurs, this session was essential to understand the concepts, background, ground reality. That may be true for all the themes this far 😊
We are back with another poll, where Ajay, Vijay, Sajith, and I together are grateful to contribute 75 Lakhs for the most voted charity. Deadline: 24th Aug. 8:00 p.m. (IST).
Only person who talk about real climate change is acharya Prashant . The human consumption mind ,
Non-veg . This are real issue we should address. All other process is just superficial methods core lies in human consciousness.
Hey that was a very informative episode. Would love to see more of Mirik in your other podcasts as well. He was the most optimistic and focused one for solutions so we could connect with him more. Would have loved to see him getting more screen time. Overall a great awakening episode 🎉 Climate change is real and we got to do our bit to save mother earth.
Guests: "I'll let Mirik weigh in on this" [...]
Also the guests: *proceeds to not let Mirik weigh in on this.*
😂😂
Usually Nikhil is better at balancing the discussion hahaha but it's not totally in his control.
This podcast is really good, Sunita did present her thoughts wonderfully though others were not able to express because of the aggressiveness from her side.
Would have loved to hear from Navroz
So true
Super informative!! Thanks a lot, Nikhil and team! 🙏
Would have loved Nitin Gadkari on this podcast or a government representative to understand their perspective, which would have made this podcast more well-rounded.
I want a podcast of nitin gadkari,Shashi Tharoor and ktr together,they are literally the best politicians
@@platypussyXI agree.
27:54 I like this podcast cuz of Nikhil’s hard hitting questions. It’s like he reads the mind of the listener & poses those questions. Keep asking tough questions Nikhil
Bollywood representation on the table gets eye balls hence Bhumi is there. As a communications professional I am a big believer of the narrative, keeping it alive with storytelling for the larger audience and also spoon feeding behaviours for people to adopt on an individual level to play their part. By simply harping climate change it will not impact the larger society coz they don’t know what has to be done to address it. Apart from putting pressure on governments we need to sensitise the larger audience by driving behaviours that they can adopt. I came across these amazing behaviour videos made in Japan to educate their people on hygiene, how to dispose personal litter, how spitting leads to spreading of disease. Someday I would love to make content around this topic for our people. We need to drive behaviours in local languages. that’s when change will start shaping up. Unfortunately all these conversations are limited only to the English speaking population of our country. Nikhil it will nice if you get sub titles for these conversations in local languages. People can choose the language of choice of their region. May be an expensive investment for the pod cast but then you are also a billionaire who cares.
I believe there is something called Bhashini that the government is promoting that converts Indian languages to other Indian languages through AI.
I enjoyed the podcast. But how come no one mentioned about the afforestation, agroforestry? Hope to see more conversations around climate change
Great session which touches on all the possible options for clean energy. Being a materials scientist and engineer who does upscaling, research into nuclear energy (exploring thorium and its use since India has plenty) should definitely be on a priority list for the future. However, we need the action now so replicating waste management, CNG generation practices and its uses in Indore should be implemented in the near future. It can be easily upscaled, technology is readily available and successful case is already present.
Nikhil drops the episode on a Thursday noon and I can't wait to get home to watch it! ❤️
Nikhil I love your podcasts! It's very educational for me and also my 12 YO son.
I didn't know CFC was produced by just one company, this is insane. My text books had a lot about ozone layer depletion, but nothing about its production.
Moral of the story:Never read textbook, do your own research.
Completely right
Literally, the best 3 hrs I spent on youtube. Kudos to bring such personalities into medium that masses watch. Want more such amazing episodes 🎉🎉
The first time I was exposed to the subject of Environmental Science was through a compulsory course that was started in ICSE schools back in my time(2007). Heard that it was discontinued later. Almost 20 years down the line, if it was continued and this subject was pushed to be taught in all levels of education, today the awareness levels would have been different in India. A developing Country in a tropical region with the highest population, basic environmental education is important!
2:20:19 is the harshest reality said by Sunita Narain Ma'am that nobody is questioning!
What a podcast, Nikhil!
It has been questioned for thousands of years in different forms across multiple cultures.
@rutvikrs which cultures have survived for multule/ 1000's of years.
@@may4u310 Hindus and the Chinese as civilizations and several thousand tribes across the world.
I see love in Nikhil's eyes for Sunita's intellect :) Loved the episode
of all the podcasts, this one would go down as the most il informed...felt like the participants were quoting random news bits!
Wasn't up to the standards of other episodes, and couldn't take away much.
1. a lot of high-level talk with a lack of So-what/relatability
2. Faffing around, Example- Definition of climate change! except for 1 of them, the rest were just completely beating around the bush.
3. Did not have anyone disagreeing or talking about the other side who would help push the envelope (but maybe that wasn't the objective)
But thanks for putting up these episodes super helpful & insightful.
Interesting discussion. It would be nice to also add non-interruption as a ground rule :)
Please bring Amit Varma and Ajay Shah to discuss public policy and economics.
Sunita at her usual belligerent mood...loved the podcast.... thanks Nikhil
Bhumi is kind of the 'Odd one out' here! Sunita & Nvroz are bang on!
Thank you for this podcast. I appreciate the work you do especially this topic and would request you to do more in this topic please. Thank you again
Wonderful thought by Sunita...we should not use any tech whose principle is to meddle with nature... because we are fighting that huge meddling with nature...good red line..Gandhi's red line was "non violence".... Very interesting...
Love Sunita Ji for her passion and all her work around environment
Very intellectual.
Thank you Nikhil and the entire team!
Sunita ji k liye bhot sara respect..!!
Bhumi is right about film industry not caring about the environment but inadvertently film industry has also reduced its carbon footprint in the recent years, thanks to VFX. Hopefully shooting n a volume (virtual production) & sets/props made using 3d printing will help in reducing the carbon footprint even more.
Hi Nikhil - Please do a podcast - WTF is Intellectual Property? Indian businesses, especially MSMEs and Startups need to know more about intellectual property and how to leverage their intellectual property to create value for their business.
Perfect t-shirt to wear in this podcast saying 'No one is truly altruistic'!
निखिल आप बहुत शानदार है
आपका काम पसंद है और आप इंसान भी अच्छे है
लेकिन एक गुजारिश है आपसे आप अगर बिजनेस की जो बात करते है इस चैनल पर मुझे लगता है कुछ ही परसेंट लोग होंगे जो आपको बातचीत को समझ पाते होंगे
इंग्लिश में बात करना अच्छा है
लेकिन अगर थी चीज हिंदी डालेंगे तो हो सकता है बहुत लोग सुने और सुनकर कुछ अपने जीवन में अच्छा करे।
ये मेरी एक suggation है। अगर कुछ बदलाव करते है तो अच्छा लगेगा।🙏
I am really impressed by Bhumi
Please allow to download...i watch it like that only
I wonder !! Nikhil gets along with all kind of humanbeings interesting.
Sunita Narain at 2:20:33 sumed it up why women are actively read to participate in this society be it in office, business, home, etc. The fundamental point she made on society rewarding non-destructible creations are the root cause. And men quickly changed the topic just after.
Thank you for creating such amazing content, lot of learning from investment perspective as well. I wish you create a podcast on Agri business. If someone wants to enter in this space, what are the prospects. Lots of people see Agri business as their 2nd work innings.
Even though the intent and the content was good, this episode was very difficult to finish - mainly because there were so many interruptions and talking over each other - sometimes resulting completely killing the other person’s point mid sentence.
I love the way Nikhil usually politely enforces structure in the conversation but in this particular episode the guests were so loud and inconsiderate that they didn’t even let Nikhil speak properly also. Hope that for future episodes some ground rules and podcast discipline is enforced.
(This is just honest feedback, WTF is my favorite podcast which has made me interested and curious about topics I’ve never even given much thought about and I eagerly wait for each and every episode. Lots of love and congratulations to the full team!)
WTF is Bhumi doing in there?
She is a startup investor in green energy segment and apparently a philanthropist and climate worker.
Bhumi means earth, it couldn’t better than this😊
@@kripanjalitellisnayakwowww this is soo cool of you to bring this up...blownn away
She came to hit on him
@@ps-gh3hu probably needs a new producer for her shitty movies
this is good. never saw ads until 23. now i see ads.
Cheers for this episode about Climate Change . We need more conversations and mixers !
Wow ..shifting track in a very settled way.....Bhumi??? can we now expect a podcast featuring HIMESH RESHAMIYA , RANU MANDAL AND KACHA BADAM SINGER Discussing about the future of viral music.
May be iam a dumb but i don't feel the excitement of learning something while watching
What i used to get while watching your previous videos
Don't be hard on yourself, Sunita damaged the room's IQ a lot more than the listener's. Nikhil has developed Tinnitus because of this episode.
I'm a long time fan of this podcast but i just found a new drinking game:
1. Take a shot everytime you realise that Mirik is still there.
2. Take a sip every time someone interrupts Mirik.
Dude's got some awesome perspective and solution focused mindset... but two of the very knowledgeable guests (who i did enjoy hearing from) need to give the guy some air time. 😂
So glad you did this
Hope the change is in process
Sunita madam is hot headed. Narvos reaching calmly and large people.
Don't embarrass yourself in public. You really have no clue what Sunita Narain has done for this country's environmental policies and a lot, lot more. If she comes across that way, she has a right to be -- after all her tremendous efforts. Go educate yourself before opinionating online.
@@tradomeg2502 Yes. I agree.
Glad that someone other than Acharya Prashant is at least trying to talk about Climate Change as a topic and that too to a large scale & so insightfully! Loved the knowledge of panelists & what they are trying to do for the environment in their own ways. Please do more podcasts on this very topic & explaining it even more deeply!
One suggestion: Please don't invite Sunita again she was right but didn't let anyone else speak! She spoke so much that the whole podcast seemed kind of incoherent! She maybe good for prime time debates but not for the new age podcasts she doesn't vibe with the audience you are trying to target & vibe is what our generation takes more seriously than a topic like this.
Bhumi is important as she's the most receptive person in the industry to take this info back and clearly cares with all her covid efforts we saw. Shes respectful and listens for most of it, give her a break.
For others and Nikhil for an intellectual deep dive into the energy question listen to nate hagens and daniel schmachtenberger.
what about the spent fuel that needs to be stored away? is that considered while calculating the cost curve? Also the gestation time being so lengthy, any divergence from execution plan will have negative effect on IRR and it poses risk in capital budgeting which indicates that nuclear has less economic incentives compared to wind and solar
Thanks nikhil for bringing such a educational podcast for us.
I have great interest in climate change related topics, througly enjoyed this conversation..❤️❤️🔥 It was very deep and intense.
Great topic! Loving it as I am watching it as I write this.
I had to fast forward a little bit when Sunitha spoke, she kept interrupting so much at the start, I do understand her passion.
Watched the entire episode and I still wonder WTF is Climate Change. I was waiting for an explanation on how we know it's real and skipping all the fancy jargon and just telling us about how we know the global climate is changing, what will happen if it changes. I have watched all 15 episodes this was the most confusing one yet.
the statement the budha nala is now ganda nala said at 45:15 is not true. It was once a ganda nalah but now it is mostly clean water.
I wish they spoke about soil as well, since their is spiritual guy from india who raised this issue on a global stage & i wanted to know whether it was a serious problem.
Weird how Sunita ma'am forgot to mention the unique sewage treatment of Kolkata through its wetlands. And the importance of conserving that ecosystem, which is infact a Ramsar site as well.
Why am I now seeing ads on this ? I assume this channel was never made to monetise
AT 01:28:OO he asked a question that if the price is charged differently during day and night, Yes the rate is different as there are 2 different charges in Gujarat in industrial bill where during the peak hours TOU is charged during day and at night the industry gets a night rebate.
This is applicable in Gujarat, I dont know about other states
Hi @nikhil and team big learner from your show. Coming straight to point that i enable Captions with the video for better understanding of words and structures of statement and i also love the way you show the simplify definitions of these complex and unheard words but the thing that is happening is both are overlapping each other quite a bit now so in order to read a definition i have to first pause the video turn off the captions then read and get back to the video and turn on the captions. It will be really helpful if somehow both can be simentaniously without taking with the extra time. Hope i won’t be much of a problem.
Thank you bringing back the Treasure Trove. ..courageoous n bold who contributed in the past, and are, will against the selfish majority.
