About

This Tuesday (Tomorrow), at 3.00 pm IST, we hear from Nikhil Taneja (12.30 pm EAT, 10.30 am WAT, 5.30 am EDT) . Nikhil is a Mumbai-based writer, producer, storyteller, entrepreneur, and youth mental health advocate. He's currently the co-founder and CEO of a youth media organization called Yuvaa, a platform that creates purpose-driven entertainment to empower young Indians. Nikhil has been responsible for some of the biggest hits in the Indian digital space at Y-Films, the youth wing of India's biggest movie studio, Yash Raj Films, where he headed content & development. Most of his work has been in and around urgent issues like youth empowerment, sex education, and gender equality, including the 6 Pack Band, India's first transgender pop group, which won the Cannes Grand Prix Glass Lion Award. He has also previously worked at Viacom18 Digital, MTV India, and Hindustan Times, but has found the most joy as a professor, teaching journalism students at Jai Hind College, Mumbai.  With Yuvaa, Nikhil has travelled across India to document mental health and identity issues faced by India's Gen Z through a docu-series and to create safe spaces for young people to express themselves in person and online. This will be a powerful session for Fellows passionate about storytelling, mental health advocacy, and more. RSVP below.
