South African Indian wants to start a podcast/Youtube channel in India:) Need some help please!

Hi there. I’m a thirty something doctor living in SA. Haven’t been at work in months- had to resign due to medical reasons. I’m better but bored and inspired at the same time. I’ve always wanted to do a podcast /youtube content creation but was always too busy/shy/terrified. I’ve only been to India once, over 20 years ago. I’m sure things have changed lol. Given the anti-Indian hatred that we see all over social media (we don’t really experience that on such a level here…yet, I guess), I’ve felt that another visit to the land I would be right on time. I’d love to highlight positive aspects through interviews/travel formats. Anything to distract, at least just someone, from the trolls and their chronic racist word vomit. Would anyone be able to message me/share information about finding a good photographer/videographer and editor. Is podcasting big in India? -ie can one at least earn a good, steady income to survive as a single adult male whilst pursuing this creativie venture ? Long shot- are their podcast/ audio content production houses in any of the big cities I could actually reach out to by email to pitch an idea? (Dreaming, I know lol)

Oh- I’d choose to pursue this in India vs South Africa as I have always wanted to see fresh and positive representation of Indians by Indians- from everywhere and of every background. I’d like to highlight ‘ordinary’ people- challenging Western stereotypes at the same time as I think many people, not living in the subcontinent, seem to not understand that the world’s most populated country will have many, many versions of ‘ordinary’- some will shock/embarrass them once they’ve realised that they breathe actually have more in common with them as opposed to their differences-The ‘differences’ that are so inappropriately dramatised in their conversations all too often. Being in India would just give me a bigger audience - over a billion citizens there and we’ve got around 2 million I think. Just a tinnnnyy difference there..

As a doctor, I have always had a close connection to learning and sharing important conversations about mental health/psychiatry. Men’s mental health, among many groups/topics in psychiatry, is so often avoided, denied or stigmatised despite it’s prevalence- In India we would statistically be talking about tens of millions of men having/ previously having poor mental health. There is no health without mental health and I think it needs to be talked about often. I’ve also always wanted to have some form of exposure to healthcare in different contexts and cultures so if there are any persons in the medical/pharmaceutical/corporate fields that has a lead or offer for me 😛 (or just advice on how and where to look as a foreign doctor)- Please get in touch if you can :)

Sorry that this post is longer than intended! Pursuing a career/country change is a lot- or, maybe just for me at least.

Thanks if you made it to then end though and super thanks if you can help with any of these questions? 🙌🏾
