Dr. Chandra, who hosts Dr. Subhash Chandra (DSC) Show, believes that even if 5 per cent of the audience benefits and becomes successful entrepreneurs, his job is done. “You may call it a CSR activity or my desire to give back something to the society. Through the show, I share my experiences with the youth,” he said on why he decided to mentor through the show aired on Zee News every Saturday. According to Dr. Chandra, learning is a two way process. “While people are learning from me, I am learning from them,” he added. The show doesn’t end with him interacting with the audience during the shoot, but also sees many writing to him for suggestions. The man behind one of the most successful media ventures, Zeel, feels that things have changed now. “45 years ago, businessman was considered to be a thief,” he said and added that today Angel Investors are willing to invest in young and budding ideas in the country.
