Can India Go Green While It Grows? ft. Hisham Mundol

In this episode, Cyrus sits down with Hisham Mundol — sustainability expert, corporate leader turned environmental crusader — to talk about India’s biggest challenge: how to grow economically without wrecking the planet.
From his early days working across continents to his stint at Hindustan Lever and WorldTel, Hisham shares how a “midlife crisis” led him into the climate and sustainability movement. The conversation dives into real-world climate issues — air pollution, EVs, renewable energy, and even why Indore’s biogas plant gives him hope.
With Cyrus’s trademark humour, they break down big ideas into relatable bits — from why Delhi’s air gets trapped like soup in a bowl, to whether electric cars are truly sustainable, and how small individual actions can actually add up when governments and companies pull their weight too.
This one’s an insightful, funny, and surprisingly hopeful chat about climate, culture, and common sense.
