  Celebrating Women: The Shashi Baliga Memorial Session ON BALANCE 9th March

  Mar 8, 202647 min

  How do you write a novel while holding down a full-time job, raising a family, and navigating the chaotic pulse of Mumbai? On 9 November 2025, as part of Mumbai LitFest 2025, we hosted a panel with three acclaimed authors, Amrita Mahale , Jane Borges , and Pronoti Datta . The conversation, chaired by our own Supriya Nair , touched on the “exhilarating” artistic freedom of walking the city streets and the rigorous discipline of giving up weekends for words. The writers reflected on how unpaid labour, professional careers, and the city itself shape their stories. They also foregrounded the importance of friendship and community as vital support systems for sustaining creative work.   Learn more about the Godrej DEI Lab and our work at https://www.godrejdeilab.com/ .   Our Guests: Amrita Mahale ( Real Life: A Haunting Literary Mystery Set In The Himalayas | A Story Of Obsession, Silence And Control )   Jane Borges ( Bombay Balchao ),   Pronoti Datta ( In the Beginning there was Bombay Duck - A Food History of Mumbai / Half Blood )   Moderator: Supriya Nair   Find the Lab on social media: Instagram Linkedin   Email us at godrejdeilab@godrejinds.com / contact@maed.in   This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in Creative Director: Mae Mariyam Thomas Project Manager: Shaun Fanthome Head of Audio Production: Kartik Kulkarni Sound Editing & Mixing: Nihar Temkar

  Holding Ground: Navigating a "Lifequake" and the Architecture of Healing with Tarini Mohan

  Mar 3, 202642 min

  On 7 November 2025, Mumbai LitFest 2025 hosted an intimate conversation between author Tarini Mohan and our very own Preetham Gandhi Sunkavalli , Deputy General Manager with the Brand Team at Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. Together, they explored Tarini’s memoir, Lifequake , which traces her journey from a fast-paced life in New York and Uganda to the aftermath of a near-fatal accident. In this candid exchange, Tarini gently pushes back against the cliché of being called “inspiring,” reflects on how friendship became the “architecture” of her recovery, and speaks about the profound shift from independence to interdependence.   Learn more about the Godrej DEI Lab and our work at https://www.godrejdeilab.com/ .   Our Guest: Tarini Mohan   Moderator: Preetham Gandhi Sunkavalli   Book: LIFEQUAKE : A Story of Hope and Humanity   Find the Lab on social media: Instagram Linkedin   Email us at godrejdeilab@godrejinds.com / contact@maed.in   This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in Creative Director: Mae Mariyam Thomas Project Manager: Shaun Fanthome Head of Audio Production: Kartik Kulkarni Sound Editing & Mixing: Nihar Temkar
