Kashmir gets its own ‘Ted Talks’ to help local youth showcase talents
Islamabad: Mashq Talks podcast in Kashmir language has been launched for people in Kashmir to showcase their talents to the world.
The first-of-its-kind podcast is an episodic series of digital audio or video files.
The podcast available on the music-streaming platforms releases the talents of the Kashmiri youth who have achieved success and can inspire the next generation, reports ANI.
Founder of Mashq Talks, Umar Nisar tells ANI that he tried to offer Kashmir its own “Ted Talks”.
“It is as same as ‘Ted Talks’. We started a podcast, through which we targeted 100 Kashmiri influencers and featured them. Kashmir has an abundance of talent but at the same time, it lacks a platform. So, I created this,” founder Nisar tells ANI.
“We have also started an initiative for the collection of funds for the talented youth of the Valley. This podcast is by the youth, for the youth, of the youth,” he adds.
