Mediators in Disguise is a podcast series under Presolv360’s Presolv for All initiative, which provides free access to dispute resolution services for marginalized communities. The series shines a light on the hidden mediators among us — individuals who, when faced with personal or collective challenges, rose above conflict to create understanding, peace, and harmony. Through their transformative journeys, the podcast explores how mediation, conciliation, and negotiation can empower people, strengthen communities, and make justice more inclusive. By uncovering these inspiring stories, Mediators in Disguise shows that each of us holds the power to resolve disputes and contribute to a more cohesive, compassionate society.
Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful conversations don’t always happen in meeting rooms — but in places where people feel seen, heard, and understood?
But what if the path to resolving community conflict lay not in loud interventions, but in quiet listening?
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise, we step into the world of Dr. Anand Bang — a doctor and public health practitioner whose work spans the fields of medicine, policy, and grassroots change. From walking village paths in rural Maharashtra to working with SEARCH (Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health), his journey is built on bridging the spaces between tradition and science, hesitation and hope.
Whether he’s facilitating discussions on health, guiding communities through uncertainty, or helping different worlds understand each other, his approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and deep listening.
Because sometimes, the most powerful mediation doesn’t cure illness — it heals divides.

Mediators in Disguise - Lt. Col. Jitendra Sharma
Have you ever felt the quiet tension of a boardroom — the unspoken disagreements, the decisions that carry weight?
But what if those moments could be handled with the calm of someone who’s navigated real conflict?
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise by Presolv for All, we step into the world of Lt. Col. Jitendra Sharma — a decorated Indian Army officer who served in some of the toughest conflict zones of Kashmir and the North East. From easing ethnic tensions to enabling free elections in volatile regions, his work was rooted in dialogue, dignity, and determination.
Today, he leads corporate real estate strategy across APAC, the Middle East, and Africa — applying the same clarity and courage, not with soldiers, but with stakeholders.
Because sometimes, the strongest leadership lessons come from the frontlines.

Mediators in Disguise - Mr. Chirag Patel
Have you ever watched a sports team just before a big match? The tension in the air, the nervous energy, the final pep talks — and then, almost magically, everything comes together.
But behind that magic, have you ever wondered who makes it all fall into place?
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise by Presolv for All, we step beyond the field and into the world of coaching — a world of high stakes, emotional ups and downs, and the quiet conflicts that rarely make it to the scoreboard.
With us is Mr. Chirag — a coach who has been much more than a strategist. He’s been a mentor, a guide, and often, a silent mediator, helping athletes find balance not just in their game, but within themselves.
Because in his world, sport isn’t only about winning matches — it’s about teaching the art of resolution.

Mediators in Disguise - Ms. Madhvi Shroff
Have you ever tried breaking up a fight between two kids at home? Now imagine not just two — but hundreds of children, their parents, teachers, staff, and even trustees — each with their own expectations, needs, and disagreements. Holding that world together takes more than authority. It takes patience, empathy, and the ability to guide people through conflict with calm and care.
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise, we meet Ms. Madhavi Shroff — a former teacher, principal, and now corporate consultant in leadership and soft skills. Throughout her journey, she has been an informal mediator, quietly resolving disputes and bringing people together without ever needing the title.
From classrooms to boardrooms, Madhavi has shown how mediation is more than a professional skill — it’s a way of life. Today, she shares her story of perseverance, of navigating sensitive situations, and of empowering others — students and adults alike — with the tools to handle conflict and move forward with confidence.

Mediators in Disguise - Mr. Pascal Comvalius
Have you ever wondered what it takes to step into the middle of life’s most intense conflicts? Not just disagreements across a table, but crises where words can mean the difference between escalation and resolution.
At that crossroads stands someone who doesn’t just listen, but truly understands — someone trained to guide people through chaos with clarity and calm.
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise, we meet Mr. Pascal Comvalius — an IMI-Certified Mediator, crisis and hostage negotiator, and global trainer in mediation and credibility analysis. From family disputes to high-stakes negotiations, Mr. Pascal has spent years navigating conflict in its rawest forms, always with one aim: to find a way forward.
In this episode, we step into his world — a world where empathy meets expertise, and where even in the most difficult moments, resolution is possible.

Mediators in Disguise - Dr. Nirali Rokadia
Have you ever walked through a hospital corridor? The echo of footsteps, the sudden rush of nurses, the quiet tension before a life-changing decision.
At the center of it all stands the doctor — carrying not just a stethoscope, but the weight of emotions, expectations, and unspoken conflicts.
In this episode of Mediators in Disguise, we step into that world — where compassion is as vital as competence, and calm isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Joining us is Dr. Nirali, who heals not only conditions but concerns. A guide, a voice of reason, and — though she may not call it that — a quiet mediator.
