In this heartfelt episode of Paani with People, Ambikesh speaks with Manzer, a policy professional, social entrepreneur, and “a confused person in pursuit.” From his roots in a small town in Chhattisgarh to his time at Oxford and his return to Bihar, Manzer reflects on the threads of curiosity, contradiction, and community that have shaped his life.
They talk about growing up with unconventional parenting, navigating long-distance marriage, and building Bridge—a student-led initiative that helps peers graduate without debt. Manzer opens up about burnout, belief systems, privilege, and his struggle with always wanting to do more.
It’s a conversation about embracing confusion, celebrating pauses, and walking purposefully – even when you’re unsure of the destination.
