This special episode of MVP The Master's Voice celebrates India's Independence Day and features Ravi Kumar, Founder and CEO of udChalo in conversation with Pavan R Chawla, Founder-Editor of MediaBrief.com .
As our Nation celebrates Independence with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, we are honoured and delighted to bring you a very special episode to record which, we were honoured to welcome the young, visionary, inspirational leader – Ravi Kumar, Fonder & CEO of udChalo -- a company that is “dedicated to serve our Soldiers, the Heroes whose courage, gallantry, and commitment to protect our Nation's honour is incomparable.”
In fact, udChalo is purpose-driven by the mission to provide the best services for the Services – the entire armed fraternity, its officers, soldiers, their families, dependents and survivors.
Now in its 10th year, udChalo has done remarkable work for the Services, and I recorded this episode only on Friday the 12th of August 2022 with Ravi who travelled to Mumbai for the recording.
We had promised ourselves we would edit, package and master the episode as our own small but heartfelt tribute to that most amazing community of Indians, the best of the best – our Armed Forces and their entire fraternity. This episode is MediaBrief.com’s salute to the Services, and also an expression of gratitude to udChalo, which has been serving India’s Armed fraternity with pride and gratitude.
Thank you, Ravi Kumar, and the entire team at udChalo. More strength to you.
udChalo, founded and led by Ravi Kumar, an engineering graduate from Pune with an LLB degree and an alumnus of the 1-year Stanford Seed program, is powered by its primary rocket-fuel of purpose-driven service to the Armed Services of India.
And Ravi, my guest on this very special episode, has always been a strong, focused and of course very capable leader who has seen the company achieve a solid 495% CAGR from FY 2014-15 to FY2020-21.
udChalo has been recognized by the ‘Fastest Growing MSME’ award twice, and when Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented Ravi Kumar with the award in January 2022 for udChalo’s performance over the previous year, the citation recognized the company’s ‘innovation and service to society’.
And Ravi himself has won several prestigious awards including 40 Most Influential Asians Under 40, 2019; 50 Best Leaders Of 2020; Young Entreprenuer of Year 2020; National Startup Award 2021; and First Generation Entrepreneur 2021 By MCCIA, among others.
Trade can be learnt; trait cannot be taught, says Ravi. And, of course, the passion and commitment with which he work through udChalo for the Services, bespeaks the ra

MVP The Master's Voice Podcast - Nitish Jain, President - SP Jain Global School of Mgmt
My distinguished guest on this, the 61st episode of the award-winning MVP - The Master's Voice Podcast series from MediaBrief, is Nitish Jain, President - SP Jain Global School of Management, a top professional Management education Institute that's respected for creating globally intelligent, culturally agile graduates and post-graduates, with increasingly relevant and specialist MBA and other programs.
Nitish combines a striking and unique statesman-like calm, poise and wisdom with the unmistakable passion and drive that has seen the pioneer educationist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, technology enthusiast power SP Jain into one of Asia Pacific’s top-ranked global business schools with state-of-the-art campuses in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney. Today, S P Jain has a strong and respected foothold in the Asia Pacific.
Across more than 15 years now, as President of the School, Nitish has spearheaded SP Jain School’s innovative and disruptive style of education through several pioneering benchmarks in global business education that include a multi-city learning model that has seen its students travel to no less than 3 countries as part of their undergraduate / postgraduate education. The result of this is the transformation of business managers into global leaders who are adaptable, multicultural and globally relevant to companies of the 21st century.
Nitish’s story begins from his early days when his passion and vision were nurtured by his illustrious grandfather -- now the late educationist, philanthropist, Padma Bhushan award winner the Late S P Jain – who is the one person he has most admired, and with the help of whose tutelage Nitish went on to take SP Jain School of Global Management across several milestones of success and impact over close to the two decades it is set to complete.
Nitish, who holds an MBA degree from USA’s Cornell University, speaks of what makes the institution unique, and also shares how the concept of global education has evolved in the past two decades, and how SP Jain adapted to the changing winds of education.
Nitish, believes ‘education is ripe for disruption and technology will lead this’. A keen tech enthusiast, Nitish is always looking for imaginative ways to integrate his passion for technology with traditional teaching methods. He has led the introduction of cutting-edge tools for engaged online learning, and new classroom technologies including a one-of-its-kind Learning Analytics App, which, along with other transformative technologies are expected to take student learning outcomes at SP Jain to a new level. Nitish tells me about the unique, pat

Exclusive Podcast | Biren Ghose – The ABC of AVGC, and empowering Indian M&E with CII and the Prime Minister's task force
This, the 63rd episode of MVP - The Master's Voice Podcast, features pre-eminent thought leader and industry enabler and evangelist Biren Ghose - Chairman CII National AVGC Committee, and Country Head - Technicolor India. Biren is leading the CII team on the major upcoming 3rd Global AVGC & Immersive Media Summit covering Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics, that will roll out across two days on the 29th and 30th of August 2022 at the Hotel Lalit in New Delhi.
Biren is has been empowering the Media & Entertainment industry for the past more than 20 years. Biren has been doing that not just through the remarkable leadership and growth he has provided to Technicolor India as country head, but also as Chairman for the CII National Committee for AVGC and the Vice Chair for CII’s Media & Entertainment Committee.
The Consortium for Indian Industry, the CII, has always been a very significant enabler of enterprise across sectors in India, and is now set to roll out perhaps the first, single most important in-person (and not virtual) event – the 3rd Global AVGC & Immersive Media Summit covering Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics, that will roll out across two days on the 29th and 30th of August 2022 at the Hotel Lalit in New Delhi.
Considering the significant contribution of Animation, Video, Gaming and Comics in the digital space, and the quality of immersive-ness they empower digital media with for consumers, I believe the CII Immersive Media Summit is the single largest and most significant on-ground event post-Covid, that every professional, promoter and associate connected with the AVGC space in India and elsewhere, must make it a point to attend.
My conversation with Biren, the druid of M&E, covers the amazing past delivery and the potential of the AVGC industry as a trailblazer within the overall M&E landscape, and how he, as an enabler and industry statesman, sees the AVGC sector playing out over the next few years trajectory and growth. Biren speaks of the drivers of the AVGC industry, including what it is doing to content creation and consumption, and whether and how it is expanding audiences, or perhaps taking share from other existing forms of entertainment.
Biren also shares why AVGC has become a strong government priority, and offers advice and guidance on how India can realize the enormous potential of AVGC. And that future growth in the space will likely be driven by the ABC of AVGC.
Biren offers a deep dive into the upcoming 3rd Global AVGC & Immersive Media Summit, why it deservedly is a standalone event, what it will showcase including some of the important sessions, and
