Kai Pan Aditi

About Kai Pan Aditi

When my mom asked me in Gujarati, what do you want to eat, I told her anything(kai pan). Recorded on phone from the comfort of my bed, I talk at length about whatever is on my mind. I do talk about kai pan(anything) through out the episodes as we progress. Sometimes it's arrange marriage, sometimes dating in and relationship in Mumbai, sometimes a random story from 5 years ago, sometimes I share my favorite products and experiences, and sometimes nothing at all. You never know what you might get into, but that’s what keeps it interesting. New episodes every Sunday, 11:11am Love, Aditi Katbamna

   Job Rejection #4: Yet another installment of companies who rejected me.

   Have you ever felt like you’ve done everything right, collected the degrees and certifications, gained work experience, and still struggled to land the job you want? Welcome to the club. In this episode of Kai Pan Aditi, I’m talking about job rejections, unemployment, career confusion, and why I’m slowly giving up on the traditional 9-to-5 job hunt. At 33, with a background in content, digital media and podcasting, plus a growing collection of qualifications, I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. From dreaming of working in luxury with LVMH to exploring social media, tarot reading, brand management and podcasting, my career journey has taken more turns than I expected. I’m currently studying communication and brand management at MICA, hoping to build skills that will help me grow my own brand. But somewhere along the way, I’ve started questioning whether climbing the traditional career ladder is even what I want anymore. I also open up about being rejected for a podcast management role at Spotify, despite having relevant experience and making it through two interview rounds. It hurt, and I cried. But I’m learning that sometimes, even when you have the qualifications and experience, things don’t work out the way you imagined. This is an honest conversation about navigating the Indian job market, dealing with job rejection, feeling lost in your 30s, changing career paths, protecting your mental health, and figuring out what comes next when nothing seems to stick. If you’re unemployed, struggling to find a job, questioning your career choices, or wondering whether you should build something of your own instead of working for someone else, this episode is for you. Because maybe we don’t have to have everything figured out by 33. Maybe we’re allowed to try different things, change our minds, start again and trust that we’ll eventually find our way. Have you been struggling with job rejections or feeling disillusioned with the traditional job market? Tell me about your experience. I’d love to know I’m not alone in this. Welcome to Kai Pan Aditi, a podcast about careers, creativity, culture, relationships and figuring out life as we go. #JobRejection #IndianJobMarket #CareerConfusion #Unemployment #CareerChange #LifeInYour30s #KaiPanAditi job rejection, Indian job market, career confusion in your 30s

   The Rise of Analog Life, Substack & Slow Content

   In this episode of Kai Pan Aditi, I’m talking about something I’ve been feeling for a while: I’m tired of the internet. From doomscrolling and shrinking attention spans to social media burnout, performative reading, endless subscriptions and the pressure to constantly create, I’ve started wondering if we’re ready to go analog again. I recently discovered Substack and found myself falling back in love with long-form writing, blogs, essays, reading and actually paying attention. It reminded me of an older internet that felt slower, more personal and a little less exhausting. So are we entering an analog era? Why are people getting tired of Instagram and constant scrolling? Why are physical books, offline music, iPods, analog diaries and slower forms of content suddenly feeling exciting again? And what does it mean to create online without becoming obsessed with algorithms, numbers and consistency? I also talk about my own struggle with podcasting, patience and comparison, and why I’m choosing to keep creating even when Kai Pan Aditi hasn’t grown the way I expected it to. Maybe building credibility really is a long game. Maybe sabr and shukr go hand in hand. And maybe being an “idiot in motion” is better than being a genius at rest. This is a conversation about digital burnout, social media fatigue, Substack, reading, creativity, slow content, going analog, and finding your way back to things you genuinely enjoy. Have you been feeling tired of social media too? Are you trying to spend less time online or go analog in some way? I’d love to hear what you’re noticing. Welcome to Kai Pan Aditi — conversations about culture, creativity, the internet, life, ideas and everything in between. #Doomscrolling #SocialMediaBurnout #GoingAnalog #Substack #DigitalBurnout #SlowLiving #Reading #Creativity #KaiPanAditi
