Cockroach Janta Party
HOST: You had a good college, a good job and a comfortable path. Why public life? Ashutosh Ranka: At McKinsey, I worked on a UP government health project. We went village to village in suit boot, thinking we were changing things. HOST: What changed? Ashutosh Ranka: One sarpanch said, people like you come, give gyaan and leave. Come back after 5 years and nothing will change. If you really want to help, get my health centre opened. HOST: Is that the turning point? Ashutosh Ranka: Yes. My bubble broke. I could keep pretending I was changing the world, or get on the ground and get my hands dirty. I quit the job and entered public life.
