    Trust Him He Knows What He's Doing
    As a South Asian podcaster, I was overjoyed to discover this show. It is a shining example of the inroads that we are making as a cultural group into the collective discourse, and a validation of the journey that I've been on with my podcast. Abhay is a masterful storyteller who layers thoughtful context on top of compelling content. He effortlessly builds rapport and easy (but substantive) banter with high profile guests such as Ro Khanna, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Pramila Jayapal, as well as up-and-comers. I love the vibrant community and spirited narrative that Abhay has build around TMIKWID, and look forward to seeing the podcast continue to evolve. Shabash 👏🏽 Abhay!

    Don’t miss out!!
    I love everything about this podcast from the excellent title, which reflects the pioneering spirit of the South Asian Community, to the diversity of the guests on the show. It’s hard not to get carried away by the sheer passion expressed by the guests as they chase their dreams and surmount obstacles along the way. This podcast reveals new perspectives, insights and ideas- all with a dose of humor from the host, Dr. Abhay Dandekar.

    Impressive
    As a practicing physician myself, I am thoroughly impressed by Dr Dandekar’s engaging and thought provoking interview skills. He has a clear knack and talent for this role, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into his series. It is wonderful to have someone feature and bring to light the collective experience of the South Asian diaspora in the western world. He already has interviewed a very impressive roster of successful and interesting individuals, and I wish him continued success in this endeavor!

    Deep dives with passionate people

    Great show!
    I love that Abhay showcases different professionals from the South Asian diaspora…through the show we get to hear unique perspectives and learn more about what drives people and their passions. It’s great for not only the young generation of listeners but also for the older generation who sacrificed so much, as they can see how much talent lies in our community, which they worked so hard to build. Great show!

    Insightful
    Love this podcast for its authentic and down to earth style. Abhay asks very insightful questions with sensitivity (even on subject matters that can sometimes potentially be perceived as controversial by the guest, or the audience). The podcast has a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a chat with a trusted friend. I have also appreciated the wide variety of topics covered.

    Great Taste of the Indian Diaspora
    “Trust Me” is a great addition to the collection of Indian / Indian-American voices in the podcast world. I like how Abhay mixes well-known personalities (think Madhuri Dixit, Mahesh Kale, Ro Khanna) with some lesser known talents and obscure voices that need to be heard. This show is worth a listen !! - Ajit Vaidya

    Shining a light on Indian leaders
    So great listening to meaningful conversations with some of the most talented, powerful and inspiring South Asians, especially as a young Indian myself trying to make a name for herself.
  • Lalita Abhyankar
    A must listen diaspora show
    Trust me I know what I’m doing definitely fills in a lot of gaps when it comes to the South Asian diaspora. You can’t be it unless you see it, and Abhay does a great job bringing a variety of prominent South Asian voices to the forefront.

    Easy-going and curious
    I enjoy Abhay’s easy going conversational approach. He is a great listener and asks open ended, curious questions—very refreshing!
  • Madhuri Kolhatkar
    It’s time..
    So glad and proud of Abhay to bring this cultural heritage and pride in SE Indian community. Such a relevant and innovative way of establishing human connections for Indian diaspora. We came here as first generation Indians and missed this kind of platforms. Our homes were the launching pad for the connections with other people from our background. This generations is doing so much to take it to another level. Kudos and best wishes. You are really giving a beautiful gift to the future generations.

    High quality guests and discussion!
    I really enjoy this podcast and am pretty blown away by the level of quality guests that Abhay manages to get from the South Asian community. Abhay does a superb job of having his guests explain the human side of their feelings – their childhood, their dreams, and more…
