1. About the Campaign
This campaign supports Jamboo Talks, a digital-media platform led by Nidheesh Goyal that brings scholars, thought leaders, public figures, and influencers together for conversations about Bharat’s civilisational heritage, history, national affairs, geopolitics, and cultural identity.
Hindu Fund extended a grant of ₹5 lakh in 2023–24 to support the platform.
2. The Problem and the Solution
Digital conversations about India are often dominated by short-lived news cycles, polarised debates, and content lacking historical or cultural depth. Scholars and subject experts may also lack accessible platforms through which their knowledge can reach younger and wider audiences.
Jamboo Talks addresses this gap by producing:
- Long-form interviews with scholars and public figures
- Conversations on Indian history and civilisational identity
- Discussions on national affairs and geopolitics
- Content featuring traditional knowledge and cultural practices
- Short clips and highlights for social-media audiences
- Hindi and English content for diverse viewers
- Educational series on subjects of national and cultural importance
- Campaign funds support research, guest coordination, studio and recording expenses, travel, production equipment, editing, design, digital promotion, and channel operations.
