Humans of Bombay 

Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 10 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 6M!
Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalogue the beat of humanity, one story at a time.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch how we bring stories to life and enter their world... one video at a time!

His father was hospitalised. The insurance they thought would cover everything covered almost nothing. πŸ‘€

In the latest episode of the Humans of Bombay Show, Karishma Mehta sits down with Ankit Agrawal, Founder & CEO of InsuranceDekho, for a conversation that starts with one family's shock at a hospital bill & ends with a vision to change how a billion people think about insurance. From creating micro-entrepreneurs across Tier-2 & Tier-3 India and building a culture of frugality & trust to how he thinks about hiring and institutionalising an organisation that can run without him.

How do you build trust in an industry people don't believe in? What does it take to raise capital, build culture & still stay grounded? And what did the Bhagavad Gita, chanting & a health transformation teach a founder about building something that lasts? πŸ”₯

He lost his father at 10, spent a lifetime writing about love he never quite held onto & found home in the quiet misty hills of Dehradun 🌨️✨ . The world calls him a storyteller of the hills. We just think he's one of a kind.

In the latest episode of the Humans of Bombay Show, we flew all the way to Ruskin Bond's home nestled in the hills of Dehradun, and what Karishma Mehta found there was less of an interview & more of an hour you never want to end. The kind of conversation that makes you want to pour a cup of tea, sit by a window & just listen.

From losing his father young & why he never regrets not getting married, to why he prefers real intelligence over artificial intelligence & what happiness actually means to a man who has everything he needs πŸ’­πŸŒΏ . Gentle. Honest. And quietly unforgettable.
