Ep. 680: feat. Mayur Tekchandaney

On this episode, Mayur Tekchandaney returns to the pod to talk to Cyrus about his new book 'Still Bombay'. Mayur was a guest very early on in the podcast's history - on Ep. 82. He's back to tell us all about Still Bombay - a beautiful book that captures Mumbai and it's essence through pictures and essays. Cyrus and Mayur talk about what made Mayur write the book, how it took him 5 years of walking the streets, gullies and bylanes of the city and taking more than 18,000 photographs in total, the idea making a chromatic story of Mumbai, and how he got a push from Zoya Akhtar and her production company 'Tiger Baby' in publishing the book. They discuss how Mayur got into filmmaking and working at MTV. Mayur also helps explain some of the amazing pictures in his book (watch the video on YouTube if you would like to see the pictures while listening to the episode). Cyrus and Mayur also get into Mayur's firm 'Briefcase' which works on helping brands achieve their goals by using design's power to organise, aide, influence, change or solve, and tons more.
