Nanda Nair

Discover the latest happenings and stay informed with ease.

I’m Nandakumar Nayar, but you might know me as Nanda, Nandu, or Nandan, depending on our acquaintance. My academic journey in Chemistry led me to an unexpected yet fulfilling career in the airline and tourism sectors.

Back in my school days, I was the heartbeat of a band, serenading audiences with tunes from the Carpenters, Beatles, Eagles, and beloved Indian hits. As a guitarist and keyboardist, I’m largely self-taught, yet my voice has been refined through formal training in Indian classical music. My creative pursuits are diverse, spanning short films, music composition, podcasting, and blogging. This eclectic mix has bestowed upon me the moniker of a ‘Jack of All Trades’—master of none, perhaps, but often surpassing a master of one.

Humility may not be my forte, as you’ve likely deduced. My podcast and blog channel delve into:

Culture: A celebration of Music, Dance, and Literature.

Self-Improvement: Explorations in Advaita, Meditation, and Self-help.

Technology: Insights into the latest scientific advancements, AI breakthroughs, and yes, even UFOs.

Each week, I spotlight guests and topics—some renowned, others less so, but all with valuable insights that contribute to a richer life. Knowledge is one thing; conveying it effectively is another. It’s about the substance and its delivery. In our multifaceted lives, the art of presentation has never been more crucial.
