Wings
Year 1991 marked the beginning of a New India, a year that kick started a democratisation process of a new kind, one that rode the waves of Internet, Television Broadcast Networks & Mobile Telecommunications. This has shaped a new generation of youth deeply anchored in Indian values yet having global aspirations, a cohort for whom the world is a playground. The Wings podcast is an attempt to bring forth stories of these youth where they share how they see themselves and the world they inhabit, their hopes and fears, their dreams and aspirations. It's an attempt to 'discover the extraordinary in the ordinary' and is driven by a belief that ‘the future is born in the web of human conversations'.
The storytellers in the Wings Podcast are Young Indians from across socio-economic strata, from urban and semi-urban India, ones who have found their own Wings or are in the process of discovering them with an aim to take them far and wide.

S4E10: Role Transitions
Role transitions is a feature of life be it in personal, professional or social spaces and is important for one’s growth. It often involves a complex web of relationships, responsibilities, boundaries, power, authority, choices and constraints. All this is further anchored in a socio-cultural context as well as personal dreams and aspirations based on the stage of one’s life. How are role transitions negotiated by men and women? What are the trials and tribulations involved? What role does gender stereotypes play here? How does a young, well educated, married woman with a child, equally committed to family and career, experience this phenomenon?
To explore this subject and more, here’s a conversation with Lakshmi Subramanian, currently working as a chief content consultant for Rubix Data Sciences. She has had a rich career in financial journalism, worked for a leading global market research & analytics firm and is the founder of ‘Paridhi’, a brand of exquisite designer jewellery for women.
