In the 2nd part of my two-part content partnership with UNICEF India, I am speaking with Mr. Sanjay Singh, CFO UNICEF Maharashtra. With over two decades of programming experience, Sanjay has designed and executed change strategies to advance program outcomes and promote child rights in India, South Asia, and West Africa, across both development and humanitarian contexts. His experience spans five UNICEF offices in India and West Africa, where he has thrived in roles ranging from Social and Behaviour change Specialist to WASH Specialist, Disaster risk reduction and Gender focal points. As an Emergency Specialist, he has adeptly orchestrated disaster risk reduction and mitigation strategies in response to Ebola, floods, drought, cyclones, tsunami, and pandemic influenza outbreaks. He has contributed to drafting the document “Minimum Standards of Education in Emergency Situations.” Grounded in the belief that conversation fosters creative solutions, he is dedicated to balancing both results and relationships.
A brother embarks on a quest to find a solution for his younger sister, born with a nutrition deficiency that stunted her childhood development. Determined to secure her long-term happiness, he stands up against societal challenges to ensure she has a safe and comforting space to grow into as she ages – leaving others inspired. This story is in a content collaboration with UNICEF India.
The story highlights the importance of Early Childhood Development(ECD). The goal of ECD is that all young children, especially the most vulnerable, from conception to the age of school entry, achieve their developmental potential, including in humanitarian settings.

I was privileged to have been invited by UNICEF India , as the only podcaster to collaborate on their 'One Day 4 Children' initiative. To celebrate this initiative, Wankhede Stadium (Mumbai) turned blue on Nov 2nd. UNICEF India in collaboration with the International Cricket Council , Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and Indian Ministry of Education has launched the 'Criio for Good' online skills program in the wake of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023. It is aimed at promoting gender equality among girls and boys, using Cricket as a metaphor for learning important life lessons. Criiio is a celebration of all of the different ways cricket is played around the world.
I spoke with Cynthia McCaffrey, Chief Representative of UNICEF to India, on the thought process behind the selection of the theme of gender equality, the impact of the 8 online animated modules created under Criio for Good, and future plans for UNICEF to leverage the reach of sports to create a positive impact in society. This episode is in a content collaboration with UNICEF India.

Join me for a non-political, Raakhi special storytelling + interview style bonus episode , a tribute to the sacred occasion of Rakshabandhan – a revered Indian festival that illuminates the profound bond between brothers and sisters. In a stroke of serendipity, I had the privilege of conversing with Shrimati Bhavna Khare, the cousin sister of a distinguished Indian statesman, the Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis-ji.
This episode cradles cherished memories like precious gems, unveiling a heartfelt narrative that dances through pivotal moments in his life. Unconstrained by the shackles of time, we journey through the tapestry of his formative years. Yet, amidst this captivating journey, it's the brother-sister bond that takes center stage – a bond infused with the tenderness of an unassuming connection.
Allow the narrative to envelop you, as we delve into the Deputy CM’s life beyond the realm of power and politics. Discover the man behind the title– a devoted brother and a family man, his life woven with threads of love and laughter. This tale is a snug embrace for your heart, resonating with the mellifluous tunes of nostalgia, shared laughter, and cherished memories that paint a vivid portrait of the Deputy CM's life.

Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Udaan' is a Bollywood film, that lingers your memory, and gives you the hope to live your dreams. A movie that's very detailed without being showy, poetic without being operatic, subtle without being too restrained, and poignant without being preachy. Today's bonus episode is a recital of one of the poems from this movie. Hope it proves as much inspiration for you, as it does to me.

Fancy dress play is more than just physically wearing a costume. It also encourages children to express their point of view of the world around them and helps in emotional development. Sparked by his friend's dismissal of a life-changing opportunity, in today's story the protagonist confronts his lost emotions and strives to not let dreams and ambitions be just merely fancy dresses.
