  • Brilliant all-star cast

    Ep 500 was a celebration of amazing journalists doing amazing things. Great camaraderie, deep respect for each other. Nice to get a ringside view of the process.

    I’d recommend videotaping and uploading as well. It may be audio but video complements it well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ISRO's Exodus: Space Crisis, Staff Crisis
Q: Do you see this massive workforce gap filling in the next couple of years?
Chethan suggests that while recruitment may rebound with proper planning, long-term retention will require continuous projects and a stable environment to keep skilled manpower engaged, including opportunities arising from European space programs and overseas demand for trained Indians.
ISRO's Exodus: Space Crisis, Staff Crisis
Q: Can you give me some more details on which projects are impacted due to exits and vacancies?
He notes that most missions would be affected to varying degrees because ISRO operates as a vertically integrated system with centers across cities; critical missions like Gaganyaan and Chandrayaan-4 could face delays or changes due to key staff gaps, and the Office Memorandum hints at the impact on nationally important programs.
ISRO's Exodus: Space Crisis, Staff Crisis
Q: So Chethan, let's start with what's driving this wave of resignations from ISRO?
Chethan explains there are multiple reasons beyond just private sector opportunities, including workload, pay, bureaucratic issues, and the lure of roles in academia or traditional companies; attrition is not caused by a single factor.

Q: One year down the line, where do you see the food safety ecosystem going?
