The ADDA
The ADDA
Podcast Description
"Adda" is the Hindi word for the place where people come together to deliberate, disagree and move on better for the experience of having had the chance to do it. We are a space where the topics affecting our world are unpicked, so that we can better understand them and ourselves. We come with a sense of curiosity and a desire that by exploring different perspectives maybe we can grow and show up a little bit better in the world. We’re believers that good conversations lead to better perspectives and better perspectives undoubtedly lead to better decision making and action.

Warning: Contains messy conversations, occasional profanity and zero jargon!
What comes first, the regenerative venture or the systems change? Is it about the modality to venture design, funding and execution that makes the difference? Or does it actually come down to how well an entrepreneur knows themself?
In this episode, Deepa talks to multi-award winning entrepreneur Neelam Chhiber, founder of Industree Foundation. They explore whether designers have the secret sauce to being regenerative and systems changing entrepreneurs, the complexities of capitalisation and finance in achieving scale and what kind of relationships it takes; with risk, with collaborators and with one’s self to stand the course of time. They also get into the personal and talk about values, humility and spirituality and how these influence and shape not just what is done but how it’s done too.
Neelam is a power house in the social venture world and this conversation is a masterclass in thinking about systems change with both disruptor and pragmatist lenses at play.
