What It Really Takes to Follow Your Passion | Manasi’s Story | MVPbyVanshika |

"What does it ""really"" takes to walk away from a life everyone else dreams of—just to follow the one calling only you can hear? Most people wish they had the courage. Very few actually do it. In today’s episode, you’ll meet someone who did. Meet Manasi Prasad — TEDx Speaker, IIM Bangalore alumna, Indian classical vocalist, arts leader, and former Director of India’s first interactive music museum. She studied engineering. Worked in Manhattan. Lived the crisp, conventional definition of “success.” But music — the thing she grew up with — kept pulling her back. So she chose to follow her passion. This conversation is a deep, raw, practical exploration of passion, purpose, identity, and the emotional journey behind choosing a life in alignment.
