E171 | What Endures | Portfolio Life Series - Rakesh Khar
Episode 171
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailA polished career can hide a quiet price. When you spend decades in newsrooms, close to ministers, bureaucrats, elections, and crisis, what happens to your inner life when your outer life never slows down?We kick off our Portfolio Life Series with Rakesh Khar, a veteran of India’s leading news brands, to talk about resilience that is not performative. He opens up about being displaced by the Kashmir tragedy, carrying loss alongside professional highs, and the values his parents drilled into him: live by your values, keep compassion, practice forgiveness even when you cannot forget. From that foundation, we explore what “a good life” starts to mean as you age, when income can rise but the presence of parents, roots, and time can’t be bought back.From there, the conversation moves into leadership endurance and modern relevance. Rakesh shares what he has seen sustain people in power across regimes: deep skill, self-packaging, and the discipline to “bring value for the day” because yesterday is history, especially in the age of AI. We also talk candidly about media credibility, the pressure for instant gratification, and why reinvention, unlearning, and reskilling matter more than titles.We close with work-life balance, national responsibility during crisis, and a practical compassion experiment you can do today with the people who make your life easier.
