Manifesto

 A Global Podcast on the Mindset That Builds Futures 

There was a time when the term “entrepreneur” conjured images of boardrooms and balance sheets—men in suits chasing capital and building corporations. That time is over. 

Today, entrepreneurship lives in the off-script decisions of a cricketer opening restaurants in Chandigarh. It echoes in the silhouette of a basketball player whose legacy now moves in every city street where Jordans walk. It radiates from the office of a Bollywood actor who quietly owns a digital media empire. What unites them is not industry—it is intention. 

“Light to Lighten” symbolizes the journey from inner spark to outward impact. “Light” represents the entrepreneurial mindset—curiosity, resilience, vision. “To Lighten” reflects the act of sharing that light—creating value, solving problems, building futures, and illuminating paths for others. It’s about empowering others through your own growth, just like entrepreneurs do. From lighting your own fire, to lightening the world. 

“Light to Lighten” is not just a podcast. It is a global inquiry into how individuals across fields—from sport and cinema to science, design, and diplomacy—are harnessing their entrepreneurial instinct to reimagine their second act, scale their influence, and shape the world on their own terms. 

This series challenges the orthodoxy that entrepreneurship is a vocation. We argue it is a worldview—a form of courage, a culture of innovation, a philosophy of agency. It is what allows the banker to become a brewer, the singer to become a social entrepreneur, the bureaucrat to turn builder of ideas. 

We are not telling success stories. We are mapping the anatomy of reinvention. 

Each episode brings together public figures, risk-takers, creative minds, and institution-builders who have refused to be caged by professional boundaries. We dissect not just their triumphs, but their pivots, their pauses, their private recalibrations. This is a space for reflection, not performance. 

The tone is serious. The storytelling is cinematic. The ambition is to build a global archive of entrepreneurial thinking—not as a business model, but as a force for cultural, personal, and political evolution. 

We believe entrepreneurship is not a title you acquire—it is a lens through which you act. And in a world that demands reinvention at every turn, we suspect there is an entrepreneur in all of us. The question is: will you answer the call?
