What happens when you take comedy, curiosity, and courage… and bring them to the streets?
In this episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we’re joined by Jasky Singh, better known as @sikant the street interviewer who has redefined how we connect with strangers. With a community of more than 140,000 followers across his socials, Jasky has built one of the most engaging and unfiltered interview platforms in Australia, if not the world. His short, raw, and often hilarious videos capture something rare in today’s fast-paced, polished world: authentic human connection.
From a young Indian migrant studying engineering to an entrepreneur and now a viral street interviewer, Jasky’s story is one of following curiosity, taking bold shots, and trusting yourself even when the world expects otherwise. We dive into:
- How a shy engineering student became a fearless public conversationalist
- The art of using humour, silence, and body language to disarm and connect instantly
- Balancing entrepreneurial success with creativity and family life
- The power of communication in an AI-driven world
- Why embracing identity and culture is key to resilience
This episode isn’t just about street interviews. It’s about what it means to truly connect as humans, in the messy, funny, imperfect, and beautiful ways that only real conversations can reveal.
Whether you’ve laughed at his viral videos or never heard of him until now, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about communication, confidence, and the courage it takes to just show up as yourself.
Key Takeaway:
Communication isn’t about the perfect script, it’s about presence, curiosity, and courage. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is simply start the conversation.
Listen now and discover the person behind @sikant the man bringing humanity back to the streets, one unscripted conversation at a time.
