I have been recording conversations between scientists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and artists as a part of a continuing film project.
In 2015, ideas curator Lakshmi Pratury brought great change-makers together for the INK Talks conference in Mumbai.
In the hotel lobby, I paired people who didn’t know each other, together, for candid freewheeling conversations. I offered them only three cues - the self, the ecosystem, and the future of humans.
In one such exchange, actor Irrfan and entrepreneurs Asha Jadeja, Sunny Singh, and Anu Aga shared insights with each other.
While this is yet to be edited for the final film, the following raw edit is being released as a tribute to the great actor as I remember him - a vast, compassionate, rational, and graceful seeker of truth.
