Shining a Light on India: Gayatri Rangachari Shah, Author and Journalist

Host Neha Sampat, CEO of Contentstack, and Author and Journalist Gayatri Rangachari Shah get together over a glass of wine and discuss gender roles, the evolution of the media landscape and Indian culture.

Gayatri is co-author of Changemakers: 20 Women Transforming Bollywood Behind the Scenes, a contributing editor for both Vogue India and Architectural Digest India, and she writes a column for one of India's largest English-language newspapers, The Hindu. Gayatri and Neha first met when she interviewed Neha for Vogue India. Now, the tables are turned and Neha is the interviewer.

Neha and Gayatri discuss:

• Bollywood behind-the-scenes
• How stories can be inspirational
• Indian culture
• Taking a leap of faith in your career
• The evolution of the media industry

The Dreammakers enjoyed a glass of wine while they talked: Arros Wine from York Winery in the region of Nashik, India. A blend of Cabernet and Shiraz, it’s a bold, fruity wine with hints of oakiness. York Winery is family-owned and run and Chief Winemaker Kailash Gurnami is India’s youngest winemaker.

Other show notes:

• Sunshine Reggae is Gayatri’s wake up song
• We Should All Be Feminists is Gayatri’s book recommendation for her 19-year-old-self 
• Didyme is Gayatri’s wine recommendation
