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.

S4E12: Incy Wincy Spider

March 22, 2024 • Season 4 • Episode 12

For years you work hard to face the ‘big moment.’ The moment arrives, you come out as a winner, years of commitment and perseverance has paid off. But the next moment brings in a surprise - a crash, a collapse! It’s back to square one. How does one reconcile with such realities? How does one pick up the threads and recover from setbacks? What are the internal and external forces supporting this rise? What makes the ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ climb up the spout again?

To explore this subject and more, here’s a conversation with Charuta Athalye Naik, once a professional gymnast from Mumbai with many national and international medals in a career spanning over a decade. Today, she is an entrepreneur in the field of Space-Design having executed several large and complex projects through her boutique design firm. “Success and failure have given me many gifts. The CAN-DO attitude learnt as a gymnast during childhood days continues to help me navigate life’s ups and downs,” she says.
