The Saksham Yatra effect begins when we slow down, step out, and truly listen to the world around us. Through Saksham Yatra podcasts, I have engaged with people from diverse walks of life and explored ideas rooted in sports, education, society, and many more.
These conversations consistently reinforce how small observations, honest conversations, and shared experiences shape our thinking, helping us lead with empathy and create meaningful impact in both life and work.
Understanding the Saksham Yatra effect reveals subtle ways it shapes how you listen, reflect, and act. Here, you can uncover how it quietly transforms the way you lead.
The Saksham Yatra effect is the power of meaningful conversations and reflections that can guide your thinking and decisions.
From making spaces truly accessible, like the ramp at Saina Nehwal’s home, to reimagining education through NEP 2020, it shows how empathy, determination, and small acts of kindness can touch lives in ways words never can.
Iconic conversations shape thought leadership by helping us see the world in new ways. They challenge old assumptions, spark fresh perspectives, and invite reflection. Through such impactful communication, we begin to rethink how we lead, teach, and make decisions to create lasting and meaningful impact.
Beneath every discussion lies unseen influence—a spark that guides perspectives, awakens ideas, and quietly transforms how we act and lead. Now, let’s explore what lies ahead.
You may notice that not all conversations leave a mark.
The ones that do are those where words reflect what you truly believe. On Saksham Yatra, we explore empathy, inclusion, and purpose, not for applause, but to connect and understand.
When dialogue aligns with your vision and values, it creates a shift in how you notice, respond, and move through the world.
Through purposeful exchanges on our Saksham Yatra Podcast, we witness courage and conviction in action.
Sudha Chandran Ji, the renowned classical dancer and actress, opened up about returning to dance after losing her leg and revealed the indignities people with prosthetics face in society.
Bhaichung Bhutia, India’s football legend, discussed how inclusion can create tangible support for para-athletes, helping them access training and recognition in sports.
As we move forward, let’s pause to reflect on the power of listening—an art that shapes understanding, strengthens connections, and guides us toward more meaningful interactions.
In our Saksham Yatra podcasts, I have observed how powerful listening can be. A teacher discussing classroom challenges, a sports star reflecting on teamwork, and a dancer sharing her resilience—all offer lessons that only reveal themselves when we pause, pay attention, and truly hear.
Listening, then responding, makes all the difference.
Listening well is more than politeness; it builds trust. When we genuinely hear colleagues, mentors, or team members, they feel valued, understood, and respected.
This attention fosters stronger relationships, encourages openness, and naturally enhances our influence, proving that the most impactful individuals are often those who listen first and speak thoughtfully.
True connections aren’t built on words alone. There’s something deeper, something quietly magnetic in authenticity—something we’ll uncover as we dive further.
When you speak from a genuine place, people notice. It’s not about perfect words or polished delivery; it’s about honesty and sincerity. People respond to honesty because it mirrors the experience they recognise in themselves.
That’s exactly what Saksham Yatra is about—celebrating real voices, real stories, and the power of sincerity.
Let me ask you, what makes a conversation memorable: carefully scripted words, or speaking honestly, even if it’s messy?
Dharmesh Ji, known for his brilliance on Dance India Dance, shared with us the uncertainties behind the spotlight: identity challenges, family sacrifices, and the sudden responsibility of becoming a role model. That honesty built a bridge with listeners.
When you speak your truth, you inspire.
Influential talks are rarely built on facts alone. They carry something deeper—stories that quietly stir emotion, shape perspective, and stay with us long after words fade.
Have you ever noticed how advice is often forgotten, but a story stays with you?
That is the power of storytelling. When Dr. Samish Dalal spoke about family business realities in Saksham Yatra, he didn’t offer textbook solutions. He shared real tensions, decisions, and lessons.
And that honesty invited listeners to reflect deeply on their own choices.
Sudha Chandran Ji shared with us the journey of losing a limb and finding the strength to rebuild her life and career.
Her honesty about struggles, determination, and small daily victories turned personal experiences into lessons we could feel and relate to.
The Saksham Yatra effect shows that a courageous question can shift perspectives and open doors to transformation—sometimes quietly, sometimes in ways we never anticipate.
Progress does not begin with comfort; it begins with courage. On Saksham Yatra, we confront what society prefers to sidestep:
Why accessibility still fails despite policies?
Why do millions of our elders live in isolation and silence under their own roofs?
Asking what others avoid pushes us from feeling sorry to taking ownership—and from ignoring problems to resolving them.
When I asked Himanshu Gupta, CBSE Secretary, whether the system was producing “educated un-employables,” he didn’t dodge the question. He admitted rote learning was failing.
That honesty opened a conversation about NEP 2020, showing how empathy, practical skills, and mental health are now taking center stage, insights that matter to millions of students and parents.
Sometimes the widest insights come from the voices we least expect. Diverse perspectives challenge assumptions, spark curiosity, and open doors to ways of thinking we haven’t yet imagined.
Think of your mind as a window.
On our podcast, listening to leaders, athletes, and artists from different walks of life feels like opening that mind wide. New perspectives come in, old assumptions are challenged, and you start seeing familiar things in a completely new way.
Inclusive dialogue creates real impact. A conversation with Saina Nehwal Ji led to a wooden ramp, showing accessibility is dignity, not charity. With Sudha Chandran Ji, the discussion shifted perception from pity to equality.
And a thoughtful exchange with Himanshu Gupta Ji highlighted how open dialogue fosters understanding, commitment, and meaningful change.
Let’s take a moment to unpack complexity together. When we simplify ideas, clarity emerges, insights shine, and what once felt confusing suddenly makes sense.
Shambhu Shikhar Ji, a renowned satirist and humorous poet, showed us how even the biggest ideas can be made simple.
In our podcast, we engaged with him as he turned heavy topics like social reform, resilience, and empathy into jokes, stories, and everyday examples we could relate to. This is a masterclass in impactful communication, where complex ideas become clear, memorable, and meaningful.
The best conversations are those that everyone can understand. We saw the power of simplicity in our session with Bhaichung Bhutia Ji.
Instead of FIFA rankings or technical talk, he focused on a simple truth: national success starts with a child playing in the street. By keeping the conversation grounded, even a world-class career became relatable and memorable.
Motivation sparks energy, but real change comes from action. Let’s explore how practical insights—clear, applicable, and thought-provoking—can move us beyond inspiration into meaningful results.
Conversations that truly matter are those that connect ideas to action. In our session with Saina Nehwal, we discussed inclusivity and accessibility.
She shared how building a wooden ramp at her home created a small but profound impact, moving from inspiration to implementation, proving that thoughtful action always speaks louder than words.
Iconic conversations reveal more than words; they reveal perspective. From sports fields to classrooms, individuals show us that transformation often begins quietly. These moments remind us that insight is only as powerful as the way we carry it forward.
Through the Saksham Yatra podcasts, we experience how influential talks go beyond stories—they spark reflection, challenge assumptions, and offer actionable insights. Leaders, artists, athletes, and individuals from all walks of life show us that honesty, simplicity, and courage transform understanding into action.
The question is: are you ready to let these talks inspire you to create meaningful change in society?
