On Indo-Japan Synergies, Loss, and Resilience | Ft Geetanjali Kirloskar | FCTC Podcast | Episode 10
Welcome to From Code to Culture, a podcast by UnboxingBLR. Tune in to our 10th episode for a deeply personal and insightful conversation with Geetanjali Kirloskar—entrepreneur, artist, and social impact leader.
In this episode, our host Malini Goyal explores themes like loss, grief, resilience, and reinvention with Geetanjali, who opens up about life after the passing of her husband Vikram Kirloskar, one of India’s most respected industrialists. From love and loss to resilience and reinvention, she shares heartfelt stories of navigating grief, building a legacy, and finding strength in purpose.
Geetanjali reflects on her journey—from the evolution of the media and advertising industry to launching and running Toyota while maintaining Indo-Japanese partnerships over the years. She also discusses the emotional challenges of widowhood, her passion for storytelling, and her vision for a more equitable India.
We also explore her favourite cities (hello, Paris!), Bengaluru’s vibrant food culture, and some of the city’s urban planning challenges. Settle in as we cruise through industry insights and anecdotes, personal reflections and a few words of wisdom to aspiring women leaders in the country.
