Meghna Puri
<p>In this episode of Season 4, we sit down with Meghna Ghai Puri, President of Whistling Woods International and one of India's most influential voices in media education, whose journey began not by choice but by calling — returning from London to help her father, legendary filmmaker Subhash Ghai, turn a decades-old dream into one of the world's top 10 film schools. From being told to her face that she didn't deserve her position, to building an institution that has launched 1,500+ careers in media and entertainment, Meghna reflects on the early years of self-doubt, the moment she fell in love with education, and why she started practicing Buddhism in 2012 — and how it changed everything. The conversation covers what it truly takes to lead a creative institution, from consciously placing women in leadership roles and running gender sensitization workshops, to partnering with Sony, Apple and YouTube, building international exchange programs, and training students to work on a global frontier. Grounded in self-reflection, intentional leadership, and a deep belief in the power of storytelling, this episode is a candid look at building a legacy that outlives you — and why the human touch in creativity will always prevail over AI.</p>

Poornima Seetharaman
<p>In this episode of the Hungama Game Changers Leadership Series, we sit down with Poornima Seetharaman, Director of Design at Zynga and one of the most influential voices in game design to emerge from India’s gaming ecosystem. From entering the industry at a time when gaming barely existed in the country to leading design at global scale, Poornima reflects on a career shaped by curiosity, creativity, and conviction. She speaks candidly about discovering game design through storytelling and world-building, navigating an industry driven by passion yet increasingly constrained by metrics, and the personal cost of crunch culture and burnout. The conversation explores leadership without performative authority, the invisible labor women carry in male-dominated workplaces, imposter syndrome, and the pressure of constantly having to prove one’s worth. Poornima also unpacks the tension between creativity and commercial success, compensation realities in gaming, and why sustainable work cultures are critical for long-term impact. Thoughtful, incisive, and deeply grounded in lived experience, this episode is a powerful reflection on creativity, resilience, and leading with integrity in an industry that often prioritizes numbers over people.</p>

From helping shape India’s apps and games economy to navigating male-dominated industries as an outsider, she speaks candidly about confidence, proof of work, and what it truly takes to build influence over time. The conversation explores leadership without noise, earning respect in complex cultural environments, negotiating visibility, mentoring, and why belief in one’s own worth is foundational to growth. Thoughtful, grounded, and quietly powerful, this episode is a compelling reflection on credibility, resilience, and leading through substance rather than spectacle.</p>
