Interview 7: Sri. Santhosh George Kulangara, Managing Director, Safari Channel

    Personalities so far interviewed were largely inclined to serve the oppressed or the needy. For the seventh interview, the project team chose Sri. Santhosh George Kulangara, Director, Safari Channel, an expedition channel in Malayalam. Unlike the earlier personalities selected, he is a person who is passionately following his dreams of travelling around the world and a person who has instilled a culture of travelling in the minds of Keralites. Dr. Sunil Abraham Thomas, Head of the Department of Economics, played the role of Sri. Santhosh George Kulangara during the mock interview and shared his feedback.
