Ageing with Dignity: The Antara Senior Care Story

52:34 mins

India is ageing fast. Seniors already account for 11% of the population. By 2050, that share will double to 21% - meaning one in every five Indians will be aged above 60. With longer lifespans, shrinking family units and dual-income households, one truth is clear: More seniors will age alone and with more complex care needs than ever before. On Young Turks Reloaded, Shereen Bhan speaks with Tara Singh Vachani, Executive Chairperson of Antara Senior Care, a company that's determined to reshape how India thinks about ageing and elder care. She recalls Antara’s early years, battling stigma and misconception, when senior care facilities were perceived as aid to abandonment. But now, the mindset has evolved, especially after the pandemic. “People have started believing in wellness a lot more. They have understood that, as they get older, they need an ecosystem to support them,” Tara shares. Today, 60-year-olds are redefining retirement. It’s no longer just about grandchildren and slowing down. They are embracing self-care without guilt - a shift also powered by India’s economic prosperity, which allows seniors to prioritise their own needs while fulfilling obligations to their families. And while the world is busy trying to ‘hack longevity’, Tara believes the focus must be on living well. As she puts it, Antara’s mission is 'to make the years that you are alive as joyful, as healthy, and as happy as possible'. India is ageing fast. Seniors already account for 11% of the population.

Young Turks Reloaded In Davos | India, A.I. & The New Global Order

31:00 mins

In this special episode of Young Turks Reloaded from Davos 2026, we bring you three distinct yet deeply interconnected narratives shaping the next phase of the global technology and power economy. First, Fabricio Bloisi, CEO of Prosus, on why India sits at the centre of the firm’s long-term strategy. After investing nearly $10 billion in India across payments, food delivery, travel, ecommerce and emerging AI-led platforms, Prosus is now targeting $50 billion in portfolio value by 2030. With India closing 2025 on a strong IPO run and 2026 shaping up as another pivotal year, the global investor lens on Indian tech has never been sharper. But beyond capital flows and consumer internet stories, Davos 2026 also highlighted a quieter, more consequential shift - the rise of deep tech startups solving problems of national and global scale. One such company is ICEYE. Co-founder and CEO Rafal Modrzewski explains how ICEYE is reshaping military and strategic intelligence through its constellation of 64 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, capable of imaging any point on Earth, in any weather, at any time. In a sector that saw little innovation for decades, ICEYE is redefining how intelligence is gathered from space. And on the ground, Skild AI is chasing an ambition just as bold. Co-founder and CEO Deepak Pathak outlines the company’s mission to build a general-purpose brain for robots - “any robot, any task, one brain.” Despite decades of robotics breakthroughs, robots remain scarce in daily life. Pathak argues the bottleneck isn’t hardware - it’s intelligence. From capital to computation, satellites to robots, this episode explores how India, AI and deep tech are reshaping the new global order.

2025 Rewind & 2026 Growth Story: India Is the Only Way | Lightspeed on Young Turks Reloaded

46:21 mins

2025 marked a defining year for India’s startup ecosystem. As many as 18 companies, including Lenskart, Groww, Meesho, Physics Wallah, among others, hit the bourses, raising over ₹41,000 crores. On this episode of Young Turks Reloaded, CNBC-TV18's Shereen Bhan sits down with Lightspeed’s Managing Director Anuj Bhargava and Partners Rahul Taneja and Hemant Mohapatra to unpack the inflection points of 2025 and the forces shaping India’s venture landscape in 2026 and beyond. According to Anuj Bhargava, 2025 was a blockbuster year for Indian capital markets, with over $20 billion raised through IPOs across 100+ mainboard listings - more than any other market globally. And he sees no slowdown ahead. “The pipeline is very healthy. I see no reason why we can’t have a third consecutive $20 billion IPO year.” Rahul Taneja doubles down with conviction, “There is no option. India is the only way.” Taneja also weighs in on government intervention in 10-minute delivery, calling it a move toward the “right answer” - one that balances the interests of gig workers, companies, and consumers. However, he is clear: “The 10-minute delivery companies won’t shift tracks and become slow delivery companies after the government’s nudge.” Turning to A.I., Hemant Mohapatra frames it as the next strategic "natural resource" - one that nations will seek to control, much like energy or critical minerals. 2025 marked a defining year for India’s startup ecosystem.

Ecologist Vijay Dhasmana On The Aravallis Controversy & Delhi’s Air Crisis

63:05 mins

India recorded the world’s highest increase in greenhouse gas emissions in 2023–24, adding 165 million tonnes of CO₂ to the atmosphere, as cities expand faster than nature can recover. At a time when climate action is often reduced to quick fixes and viral tree-planting drives, ecologist and rewildling expert Vijay Dhasmana reminds us that true ecological restoration demands patience, scientific rigour, and respect for natural systems. Over the decades, Dhasmana has worked across wildlife conservation, habitat restoration and has been among the pioneers of rewilding in India. On the recent controversy over what constitutes the Aravalli Hills, Dhasmana says, “We don’t have to define the Aravallis. Defining them opens up loopholes that can be exploited for mining or real estate.” “There is no definition for the Himalayas, Vindhyas, Western Ghats, the Ganga, or the Yamuna. Why should the Aravallis be treated differently?” he asks. On Delhi-NCR’s worsening air pollution, Dhasmana calls for “drastic measures that must come from the very top,” drawing parallels with the decisive leadership displayed during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
