In his show, Kher speaks with India’s leading minds from a cross-section of society.

“I am happy to partner with RT and look forward to showing more of India’s incredible personalities from all walks of life and their perspectives on Bharat. RT has amazing diverse international voices and being a part of that world is exciting,” Kher commented on the launch of his series.

In the first episodes of the program, Kher interviews serial entrepreneurs Ronnie Screwvala and Anupam Mittal, legal eagles Satish Maneshinde and Mahesh Jethmalani, film director Madhur Bhandarkar, Academy award-winning producer Guneet Monga Kapoor and music composer M. M. Keeravani, best-selling author Amish Tripathi and singer Sonu Nigam, amongst others, to expound on how India has established a distinct and powerful voice in a fast-changing modern world.
