The human spirit is resilient. It is buoyant. It has always triumphed over adversity and pain. But it has often been the work of so many selfless individuals that have helped scale the relief making it pervasive and available. Neighborhoods and communities impacted by someone’s desire to make a change in their own life and by extension in the world around them - that’s what this podcast is about.
Join Puneet, an actor, writer, and accidental technologist, once a week right here in his conversations with those who are making change happen and making a difference. Either they are bringing visibly joyous experiences for people or, just as importantly, mitigating and removing pain or suffering so that joy can burst forth. They are the souls who are igniting joy making this a better world.

We commence a whole new season of IGNITING JOY on a high note, speaking to a man whose vision and untiring efforts have literally improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. In this conversation with Anshu Gupta we find out his approach to life and Igniting Joy.
Anshu Gupta has pioneered the building of a trash-based economy converting urban waste into a resource that has led to poverty alleviation, community dignity and climate change mitigation. Under his leadership, Goonj has taken the alarming growth of urban waste and instrumentalized it to trigger large-scale rural communities-led development work, creatively and flexibly matching and seamlessly weaving urban surplus into the changing priorities and realities of rural marginalized communities. In 2015, he was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award, popularly called the Nobel Prize of Asia. Anshu is a frequent speaker at various forums around the globe, including the World Economic Forum at Davos.
