The newest episode of 2023 is here! Kicking off the new year with our conversation with Mahima Vashisht, the very talented and funny womaniya behind ‘Womaning in India’ newsletter. We talk about everything from subtle sexism, gender blindspots, raja betas, and everything in between.

Mahima’s weekly newsletter weaves in deeply personal and shockingly candid stories from Indian households and is equal parts hilarious and insightful. She shares real stories of real women of India to highlight gender bias blind spots in everyday life - at home, at the workplace, in public spaces, and even in women's own self-image.

Womaning in India won the 2022 Women's Web digital creators award for "Writing with Social Impact", and has been a featured publication on the global platform, Substack. Mahima is a former civil servant with the Government of India and currently works as a climate change expert with UNICEF. #TalentKiDukaan
