Alumnus Co-Founder Radio Active 90.4 MHz Founding Member SPEAKS SWMRT, Trustee - Hasiru Dala Share Your Success Story As the co-founder and Director of Radio Active CR 90.4 MHz, Bengaluru city’s oldest and one of India’s most prolific community radio stations, I have become a representative of community- based media and of social entrepreneurship. The radio station’s commitment to diverse voices is steered by the vision to create a platform onto which people from all walks of life are welcome and their stories are valued. This has translated into the realisation of a media station that counts amongst its staff the first transgender radio jockey, the first informal waste workers couple radio jockeys, a show dedicated to rickshaw drivers that is hosted by and with the community of drivers, a show that brings alive the life stories of people hailing from the northeast of India who are now living in Bengaluru, and many more. My unwavering belief in the inclusion of marginalised narratives has meant that Radio Active remains one of the most impactful community radio stations in the country. Over the past decade, the station has conceptualised and led multiple awareness-building campaigns and events, and forged long-running partnerships with various state, national and international level NGOs and organisations that have led to more events, workshops, regular shows as well as many sets of special series.
