00:02you skill your woman you teach them then they have a baby and then they leave the workforce
00:07and for them to come back to work become such a huge problem because there's no facility for
00:12them to manage their children that time that they spend raising their children they've lost
00:17their skills so what can we do to bring back more moms into the workforce i think even before we
00:26go
00:26towards moms i think we need to have more women coming into the workforce you know how as a
00:32government we can create a framework where women can also choose blue collar jobs you know that's
00:38a cultural shift that we need to bring about when i got married young and i grew up with brahmi
00:42when we were in the u.s we used to do household work 50 50 she would do the laundry
00:47once i would
00:48do the laundry the other time we have so many women working in our organization and they hide
00:54their salaries from their from their families because they are earning more than their husbands
00:58i'm so sorry if you're earning more than your husband buy him a gift that's the best thing that
01:03you can do for him well brahmi doesn't hide how much she's earning and i'm very proud to say that
01:09she pays my credit card bills honestly see look at our journey i am who i am today because of
01:15the two
01:16ladies at home one is my mother the other one is my wife when a father feeds a child or
01:21changes the
01:22diaper the mother and everyone is clapping saying oh that's so nice you're such a good mom
01:26uh good father but when the mother does it everyone it's why aren't they clapping for me
01:34unless this mindset changes at home it'll never change in the boardroom how we treat women at home
01:40is very very important so i've grown up seeing how my father treats my mom
01:46and vice versa so that continues that that's something etched in my mind so i know that i
01:52should hold myself up to that standard so that is the change i think all of us have to champion
01:58and
01:58we have to openly talk about it because the other day we saw in a school how a person just
02:05because the
02:05girl turned him down got an electric chainsaw and attacked her because of the prayers of the people
02:12of andhra pradesh she survived so i truly believe it all starts at home what is harder according to
02:18you managing a ministry or managing three children harder is always spending time with family
02:26harder because that is the only thing god never gave me since my marriage we've been a long distance
02:32marriage brahmi went on to study i was working and then the state got bifurcated uh so work has always
02:39kept us apart so whenever i get a chance i like to go spend time with my family one advice
02:44is don't
02:44ignore the family for me a reality check was when my father was arrested so when he was arrested uh
02:50the indian legal system says that only family can meet the person you know my mother my wife because
02:58i was in padiyatra i rushed they shifted the you know to rajamandri 53 days they stayed in a bus
03:06and that is
03:07when i realized the importance of family and the relationship that we built together i must say
03:11your son is one of the most phenomenal kids and have you all seen his dinosaur podcast it's amazing
03:19imagine a kid with so much confidence and you truly are doing your job as a good friend
03:25i'm genuinely worried where he'll choose movies as a career so i'm genuinely worried about it
03:30no it's a good thing i have no opinion
