“Look up. Pay attention. Start seeing.” A simple line — and maybe a way back to yourself.

What if you could change your relationship with the world in just five minutes a day? In this inspiring and disarming conversation, host Amrita Tripathi sits down with Nishant Jain, The Sneaky Artist — writer, illustrator, and author of Make Sneaky Art — to explore how a simple sketchbook practice has become a global movement in attention and human connection.

Nishant’s journey is anything but linear. From engineering to neuroscience, leaving a PhD mid-way, to sketching strangers in Chicago cafés and 'making sneaky art' in an attempt to find his place in a new country... to someone whose creative voice resonates with thousands of followers, this is an inspiring journey.

And the long road to success!

"If you can't get passionate about the goal, then you're chasing the wrong goal." Timeless leadership lessons from this energising episode of the Say Again podcast. Host Amrita Tripathi chats with S. Devarajan — former MD & CEO of Tata Elxsi and Cisco India, founder of Transmation Consulting, and author of Design to Win — for one of the most candid deep-dives into leadership, perseverance and the power of relationships.

Hear about a dramatic turnaround for his former company Tata Elxsi, what he learned directly from legends like Ratan Tata (including how to advocate for what he believed in) and why empathy, EQ and passion matter more than ever for modern leaders.

If you're a founder, senior leader, team manager, or someone building a meaningful career, this conversation will stay with you.

As we wrap another incredible year of Say Again, this solo episode brings together the five most resonant lessons from 2025 — drawn from conversations across AI, attention, wellness, creativity, leadership, and the human condition.

We'll take a Quick Look at our Spotify wrapped and also explore 5 tips:

1. Using AI as a tool, not a crutch — how to stay sharp in the era of LLMs
2. Being mindful of what we consume and create
3. Why gratitude works and how to express it in a non-performative way
4. Reclaiming our attention spans and learning how to focus with some "be here now" strategising
5. Reading more and reading better — breaking out of algorithmic bubbles and rediscovering serendipity

Plus, a simple but powerful strategy to reduce ambient anxiety: set aside time to worry.
