To help navigate parents through the journey of parenting, CNBCTV18.com has launched a podcast titled, ‘Questions That Need Answers’. Hosted by Manisha Natarajan, the eminent anchor from CNBC-TV18, who herself is a parent to two energetic teenagers, the podcast will help overcome the challenges of modern-day parenting. The podcast joins a series of existing podcasts by CNBCTV18.com such as ‘MarketBuzz, ‘Money Money Money’ and ‘Young Turks’, which are hosted by other prominent anchors from CNBC-TV18.

Speaking on the announcement of the podcast, Ranjita Sehgal, Business Head at CNBCTV18.com, “As a brand, we have always endeavored to provide our audience with a varied set of knowledge on our platform. Our podcast series is one of the many innovative ways we are adopting to disperse information to our users. With our association with Momspresso we intend to reach out to a larger set of audience who can benefit from our podcast.”

Manisha Natarajan, Group Editor, Real Estate & Urban Development, CNBC-TV18 and host of the podcast said, “With our podcast we wanted to tap into  the different spheres of parenting that are often looked over, such as mental well-being and the active role of a father. To do so effectively, the best way forward was to call out the experts in the field. Today, there aren’t enough digital publications out there, which address parental concerns on such pressing matters. Being a mother myself, I was in the right place asking the right questions, which plague every parent in this day and age.”

The 25 minutes parenting podcast features an interaction between Natarajan and experts from various spheres pertinent to parenting and childcare. The podcast aims to tackle the most difficult questions and challenges that parents face in this fast-paced, digitally over-dependent era.

The guests joining the sessions are Dr. Sapna Bangar, a leading child and adolescent Psychiatrist, Pramath Raj Sinha – Founder ISB and Ashoka University, Naveen Chopra - Chairman of The Chopras, India’s leading career and education counselling firm, Meera Ravi – a family counsellor with two decades of experience and Vishal Gupta, Co- Founder and CEO, Momspresso.
