What happens when honesty replaces image—and lived experience replaces opinions?

In this deeply unfiltered episode of Spill The Tea, Neena Gupta sits down with Karishma Mehta for a conversation that’s as raw as it is real. No filters. No performances. Just hard truths, lived lessons, and the kind of clarity that only time can offer.

From career regrets and missed opportunities to the realities of being a woman in Indian society, Neena ji speaks about patience, self-esteem, responsibility, and why bitterness fades only when you own your choices. She questions modern ideas of empowerment, talks openly about marriage, infidelity, motherhood, ageing, and the quiet price women pay for independence.

This isn’t a comeback story. It’s a story of survival, acceptance, and choosing honesty over comfort.

I spent 25 years building a retail empire in Bangalore. From Kids Kemp and Big Kids Kemp to Kemp Fort – a castle-like store that became a landmark – I lived inside boardrooms, store launches, and expansion plans. Business was my identity. My days were filled with numbers, people management, tax issues, HR problems, and constant decision-making. The kind of life many people dream of.

I also enjoyed the rewards. I drove luxury cars. I bought a Mercedes. At one point, I even owned a limousine. When people look at me today and say, ‘You had everything,’ they’re not wrong. From the outside, it was success stacked on success.
But inside, my happpiness came in bursts. A deal closed, a store opened, a new milestone achieved – and then the pressure returned. The mind never stopped running. I wasn’t miserable, but I wasn’t still either.

At 40, I was about to begin my biggest project yet – Kemp City. I had identified 200 acres of land and imagined an amusement park inspired by Disney World: monorails, helipads, casinos, something that would take decades to build. One evening, I caught myself thinking – if I start this now, I’ll spend the next 30 years multiplying my wealth, and then my life will be over. That thought shook me.

So, I did something that made no sense to anyone around me. I shut down my business. Friends, colleagues, even strangers questioned my sanity. Retail was booming. I was at my peak. But I wasn’t searching for another milestone – I was searching for meaning.

That search led me to service. I began working closely with the homeless and destitute, eventually setting up humanitarian homes in Bangalore. I also started writing, speaking, and questioning life more deeply. What is happpiness? Why are we here? Who are we beyond our roles?

On 31st August 2014, during a flight from Paris to Bangalore, something shifted within me. It wasn’t dramatic – it was deeply real. I realised that I was not just the body or the mind I had been nurturing all these years.
That’s when Ravi became AiR – Atman in Ravi.

Success gave me many things. But peace taught me something far more important: who I am when everything else is taken away.

“I’m 23… and sometimes I still can’t believe this is real.”

What started as a tiny thought — “Why is it easier to order groceries than find house help?” — has now become Pronto, a company valued at $40+ million.

There was no dramatic ‘eureka’ moment. Just everyday frustration. Missed calls. Unreliable help. Stress before a party. And one question that refused to let Anjali Sardana sleep.

So she did something different — she went straight to the labour market. What she discovered changed everything: workers weren’t unavailable, they were underemployed. Customers couldn’t find workers. Workers couldn’t find customers. The system was broken.

That insight led to building Pronto end-to-end — recruiting, screening, training, hygiene, tech literacy, safety — every detail that people actually care about.

From the first-ever booking in Pitampura, to 15 word-of-mouth bookings on Day 1, to $13M raised and presence across 7 cities in just 7 months — this journey is proof that early-stage success isn’t about having the perfect idea.

It’s about showing up, executing, and earning trust — one booking at a time.

What if India's next big innovation doesn't come from a metro… but from a small town with big courage?

When we talk about startups, the spotlight usually shines on valuations, pitch decks, and investors. But what about the belief system that keeps a founder going — through rejections, pivots, and failures?

That's where the idea of ‘Hausla’ — courage in motion — comes in. And that's what this week's episode of the Humans of Bombay show explores with Kotak BizLabs, a rare initiative that goes beyond funding — offering mentorship, access, and networks to founders across India, especially those outside the metros.

Through the conversation, we unpack:
What “purposeful capitalism” really looks like
Why access can be more powerful than capital
How Tier 2 and Tier 3 founders are solving India's deepest problems, not just building the next app
And how purpose has become a belief system for a new generation of entrepreneurs

It's not a talk about money — it's a talk about mindset. And if you're building something that the world needs to see, this episode might just remind you that courage is a business strategy.
