More about The Knowledge Knights Show:

We have observed that our drive strengthens the more we interact with people who do their jobs with a lot of passion. The energy rubs off. This podcast is to further strengthen our own drive and that of the listeners along the way.

That said, there's an even more important reason to start this podcast. We have talked to over 500 students and professionals about their professional lives and found that a lot of them don't really love what they are doing. Most of them didn't know what their passions are, let alone following them.

There are two major blockers to finding and following passion:

1. The mindset to put name, fame, and money before passion and sometimes ignore it completely

2. Not enough exploration of interests

Through this podcast, we aim to get people to give equal importance, if not more, to finding and following their passions while interviewing passionate people from a broad spectrum of professions.

A lot of us know how cops operate only through the lenses of cinema and news. But there are many aspects of being a police officer that are either skewed or missed by these mediums. In this podcast, RITI RAJ, an IPS officer, takes us on a journey to the world of cops. To be very honest, policing is not what we'd thought initially by a long shot. This side of policing is something that we personally found very interesting and we are sure you'd too.

About Riti Raj: Riti is a Government servant, serving as a Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the 2018 batch. She is currently posted as an Assault commander, Greyhounds, Telangana

Hey everybody! This is the very first podcast of my life and I kid you not, I was very nervous. But soon after the podcast started, Aditya, our guest of the day, made me super comfortable and we ended up discussing many mind-blowing things about filmmaking, film direction, casting, the struggle, the job, and a whole lot of exciting thing.

About Aditya Kripalani:

Aditya is a filmmaker, director, producer, novelist, musician (and someone I look up to).

When we made his first movie, he'd put his entire life's savings, sold a house that he'd bought as an investment, and on top of that crowdsourced ₹25 lakhs to bootstrap it.

That's the kind of passion and energy he brings to the table. He's filmed 4 movies since - Tikli and Laxmi Bomb (Netflix), TOTTAA PATAAKA ITEM MAAL (Netflix), DEVI AUR HERO and has won multiple awards for his and his team's phenomenal work of art.

In this podcast, Aditya shares his struggles as a filmmaker and how he deals with them. He tells us how making a film feels like, emotionally, to him as a director and writer and to his fellow editors, actors, casting directors, art directors, and everyone else.

He tours us through the process of casting actors. As the leader of the crew, he shares why he keeps the mental wellbeing of his crew members as one of his top priorities.

Hope you all enjoy the podcast as much as I did.
