Talking about the upcoming episodes of Bharat ki Baat, Pallavi Joshi said, “Shooting these episodes has been quite a challenge simply because the landscape is vast. Be it Skill India or Make in India initiatives or start ups in the country the segments that contribute to India’s booming economy are also diverse in nature. When we talk of startups it is usually a techie with sound education and global exposure who have decided to shift base to India and roll out their own entrepreneurship vision. While those who form a part of Skill India initiatives are from a much modest backgrounds and with the help of training and incubation support they too are building their micro enterprise. It’s heartwarming to see India’s entrepreneurship booming. Entrepreneurship is a way of life and mostly about risks and challenges and we Indians are ready for it across strata that is what we have tried to convey through these episode. Also another aspect that came out in our research is the fact start ups are perceived as youth phenomenon but we met a whole bunch of middle aged people who have launched their ventures. Through these episodes we have also tried to break this perception”.

A plethora of interesting start ups and personalities behind them are covered in these episodes.
