On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is an entrepreneur with a difference, Shveta Raina, Founder of Talerang -  an education management firm providing career training to students and professionals. Shveta began Talerang as a project at Harvard Business School and has since impacted over two million participants in the last 5 years.When she left Mumbai at 17 to pursue her undergraduate studies at Brown University, nothing suggested this would be her route. Like most other ambitious people her age, she sought out numerous internships and worked for a while at McKinsey and Co in New York. It was only later, post experiences at Teach For India and Hindustan Unilever that the concept of Talerang emerged.In this episode, we caught up with Shveta to discuss:21st-century skills we need to prepare the future workforce forAnxiousness of employers to hire graduates: why companies should hire more freshersHop, skip and jump and how it is making employers furiousThe death of the CV: why recruiters need to move beyond the traditional CV cycleThe art of delegation for an effective leadershipHow she hires the right set of people at Talerang What is the Career Perspective of the Younger Workforce?The Millennial and Gen Z workforce is upskilling and becoming more competent day after day. There is an ignited drive among young graduates and freshers to be a part of the larger corporate structure and contribute their skills to companies to add value to their profiles. This tenacity is the primary reason why most students fall head over heels for internships and apprenticeship opportunities.In her early years at Brown University and Harvard Business School, Shveta had realised many students in India do not have exposure to global career opportunities when in high school and starting college. Only after they graduate they learn of the skills required to be a highly demanded talent in the market.How is Talerang Changing the Game?Talerang provides the young Indian freshers with the necessary skills to be competent in the market for jobs. The basic skills taught through Talerang's courses range from time management, soft skills, and personal branding to practical skills such as public speaking and interview preparation.Talerang has expanded its customer base to various segments, including students from 10th-12th, UG students, and PG students. Thanks to active users, Talerang has compiled a unique talent pool of young candidates. With corporate collaborations, the company has ensured that recruitment officers look towards Talerang when they require competent and upskilled individuals to fill out entry-level as well as senior-level jobs openings.Follow Shveta on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Junius DsilvaBONUS: To ensure the best for your startup, here is a guide on How to Successfully Hire Right Talent for a Startup: [2021 Updated Guide].

In Shveta Thakrar's YA Fantasy book Star Daughter, Sheetal a half-mortal half-star high school student must ascend to the heavens and reunite with her mother in order to save her father. Court politics and character development dominate the rest of the story. I criticize Sheetal's star family for being the worst, question why immortal beings hate humans, and ask for a glossary.

Feeling Is The Secret is one of my ultimate favourite Neville books. This book feels quite different in some ways than his others - there's unique language choices & vocabulary that I really resonate with. I love what he shares about the subconscious mind...and really appreciate his way of illuminating the Truth of who we are with ideas of divine feminine and masculine. Take a listen!

Our listeners have been asking for an in-depth, "crunchy" episode on colonialism, and related issues like cultural appropriation, for a couple of years now. Our voices, however, are not the ones our listeners should be hearing on the subject. Finding the right voices has not been easy, but it has been worth it. This episode runs for over 25 minutes. Steven Barnes, K. Tempest Bradford, DongWon Song, and Shveta Thakrar discuss colonialism with Mary Robinette Kowal. Brandon, Dan, and Howard simply listened, and learned. We encourage you to do the same. Liner notes: Here's the recommended reference reading — "Of Warrior Chiefs and Indian Princesses", Stephanie A. Fryberg, Hazel Rose Markus, Daphna Oyserman, and Joseph M. Stone Discussion Note: The topics of colonialism and cultural appropriation are controversial in some circles. Our discussion here focuses on how to thoughtfully and sensitively address these matters in our work. We're taking it as a given, then, that this sensitivity is important. In order to best foster that discussion, and out of respect for our guests, comments are being moderated. Credits: This episode was recorded aboard Oasis of the Seas by Bert Grimm, and mastered by Alex Jackson.

Episode 62 - Let's admit it, we were all impatient for this war to get started.  Like the characters in the story, we concluded many episodes back that there was never going to be a peaceful solution, and it would take nothing less than a massive bloodletting to make sure the bad guys were punished and the good guys got their rightful honors.But now that the war has started, those frustrating days of exile in the forest are looking more attractive.  Sure, we all feel that Duryodhana deserves a good kick in the ass, but wars are never that satisfying.  Entire nations of warriors will be extinct before Duryodhana gets his first bruise.  And then there are the other 98 Kaurava brothers.  Sure, they might have collectively done some sneaky things, but how exactly did they earn the fate of preceding their elder brother into the underworld, like some primitive escort?We might have learned thousands of years ago that war can never have a satisfactory outcome, and by now we should have found better ways of resolving our differences.  But here we are today, a bunch of "civilized" readers, looking forward to the battle books and anticipating the final denouement of the evil Kaurava brothers.There is no such satisfaction on this, the first day of war.  Instead, Virata was deprived of both of his sons, and we found out too late that his second son Shveta was a fine Kshatriya and would have made a great ally.  But now he's dead; another life wasted.Brace yourself, however, because there is much more of this yet to come...
