OM DETTA AVSNITT
Deepak Sharma is an Australian creative and entrepreneur who has worked closely with the Bollywood industry while building his career outside India. We dive into what it really means to be Indian in the West - the silent identity crisis many people of Indian origin face while balancing cultural expectations from home with life abroad.
We talk honestly about Deepak’s experience navigating Bollywood as an outsider, the pressure to fit into multiple identities, and why so many Indians living overseas feel caught between cultures.
We also explore why personal branding and employee-generated content (EGC) are becoming essential for individuals and companies today, and how showing up authentically online can open doors that traditional careers no longer do.
Finally, we break down why grooming, self-respect, and how men carry themselves still matter - not from a vanity perspective, but as a signal of discipline, confidence, and identity.
