Conversations Live

03/08/2025

Tonight at 8PM — one of the most still, powerful, and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on Conversations Live goes live.

“I Am” with Dr. Sanjay Mahalingam, is not about identity, achievement, or becoming more. It’s about remembering what’s always been there — before the noise, before the labels, before the stories we tell ourselves.

Kabir Gobin questions Sanjay about:
The illusion of progress
The question behind every answer: Who am I?
Presence as a lived intelligence
And the simple truth that I am — and that might just be enough.

The full episode is now live on our YouTube channel.

A heartfelt thank you to Whitefield Business School for making it possible for Sanjay to join us on Conversations Live.

Everyone’s talking about electricity right now — rising costs, unpredictable supply, and the pressure to meet our renewable energy targets. But behind the politics and policy statements lies a harder truth: our energy transition is not on track.

While major economies are already hitting 40–60% renewable electricity — some even higher — Mauritius remains far behind, still heavily reliant on fossil fuels.

In this new episode of Conversations Live, our host, Kabir Gobin sits down with Omi Adjodah, Sustainable Energy Advocate, to unpack the state of electricity production in Mauritius — from grid limitations and financing gaps to what’s really happening behind the renewable energy numbers.

It’s a direct, fact-based conversation about where we stand — and what it will take to move from small wins to system-wide change.

Electricity bills are rising. Load demands are growing. And Mauritius is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
But change is possible — and urgently needed.

In our next episode of Conversations Live, we unpack the truth behind Mauritius’s renewable energy transition with Omi Adjodah, Sustainable Energy Advocate where we ask him the following:

Why are we behind? What’s holding us back? Who’s paying for it? And how do we finally unlock the power of the sun, wind, and community?

This Sunday, we speak to someone who’s spent years navigating these questions — and who believes the future is still ours to build.

Teaser drops now. Full podcast this Sunday at 8PM.

As Mauritius prepares to unveil its Budget, one question matters most — are we ready to reset?

Tonight, we release one of the most timely and thought-provoking episodes of Conversations Live.

Kevin Teeroovengadum — economist, strategist, and one of Mauritius’s most globally connected minds — joins Kabir Gobin for a powerful discussion on where we stand and what must come next.

He challenges us to think beyond short-term numbers:

What does it truly mean to reinvent Mauritius?
Can we keep relying on the same policies… or is bold reform overdue?
Are we just claiming to be a hub — or actually building one?
And how do we align our economic ambitions with Africa’s rising potential?

This isn’t about the Budget. It’s about the future.
And this conversation couldn’t be more urgent.
