Democracy as a board game ft. Zain Memon

In this episode, Karthik speaks to Zain Memon - creator of the board game Shasn. Shasn is a game that puts the players in the shoes of politicians who have to make ideological choices and try and win the game by building vote banks and constituencies. The only question the game keeps asking the player is – when the heat is on, what will you stand for! Karthik Speaks to Zain about the journey of this idea which originated when the team was making the path-breaking documentary - An Insignificant Man. They discuss popular culture in India and how Memesys Culture Lab - the studio that Zain co-founded is changing the media landscape with creations like Ship of Theseus, An Insignificant man, Tumbaad, OK Computer, Shasn, and many more.
