Roots to Routes with Anand Dattani
I collect defining stories from across generations - even those that are no longer with us. Why? To see what we have, and what we can learn from them, and how our modern culture has evolved since their time. How? By speaking to mission-led entrepreneurs and creatives - founders, actors, artists, authors, you name it - about the lives and stories of their previous generations and how those have shaped who they are today and the legacy they’re now looking to build upon. My aim is to uncover the hidden influences that guide us, the lessons we inherit, and how we can use them to shape the future ahead of us.

Hear all about what life was like for a child growing up and schooling in Jinja, and the need to adapt to a completely new society and culture in London.Being the oldest cousin of my generation, he also has some fascinating stories to share of the Dattani siblings, their ba (mum) and bapuji (dad), and even some entertaining insights into the cousins of our generation.
