AyeBeeTalks is a long-form interview series I host, for Indian professionals who have lived the version of their life nobody planned for them. There are two tracks. Careers with Ayebee is about people who left the default professional path (the law firm, the MNC, the engineering track) for something stranger, harder, and eventually more interesting. Life, With Ayebee is about people who went through something that broke the plan entirely: a health crisis, a grief, a financial collapse, the slow unbundling of a life they thought was sorted, and came through it, if not triumphantly, at least honestly. Both are long-form, because the useful part of any story takes time to arrive; the summary version is what people tell their relatives, which is to say it is almost entirely useless.
I am not a neutral interviewer; I am the most credible version of my guests, because I have lived a variant of the same story. What you will not find here: hustle culture, startup hagiography, vague inspiration, or any sentence containing the word "journey." What you will find: specificity, the cost of the choices, and the part of the story that usually gets edited out before it reaches LinkedIn.
