Think Deepa Podcast host…

Think Deepa is more than a podcast. Its a mirror for growth, self-awareness and transformation.

Hosted by Deepa Parekh, the podcast explores mindset, identity, resilience, growth and the defining experiences that shape who we become. Through intuitive interviewing and a distinctive format, Deepa creates the kind of atmosphere where guests can drop the script and speak from a more real place.

Featuring a mix of high-profile names, cultural voices and deeply personal stories, Think Deepa has welcomed guests including Usain Bolt, Jermain Defoe, Javeno McLean, Davinia Taylor, Nadine Merabi and Chantelle Thompson, with a number of conversations offering genuine podcast exclusives and firsts. These moments have gone on to generate wider press interest, reinforcing the podcast’s growing reputation as a platform for meaningful, headline-worthy conversations.

At its core, the podcast is not just about hearing someone else’s story. It is about what that story unlocks in the listener. Through every guest, every pause and every truth shared, Think Deepa invites people to reflect more deeply on their own lives, patterns, growth and potential.

Each episode is shaped by a signature format designed to encourage spontaneity, self-reflection and emotional honesty, giving the podcast its distinctive tone and helping guests open up in a way that feels natural rather than performative.

This is what gives Think Deepa its edge: it does not just inform or inspire. It creates awareness.

Think Deepa Podcast Live Series

Following its official launch in Manchester, the Live Series takes the podcast beyond screens and headphones, inviting audiences into the room for a live recording centred on powerful conversation, shared reflection and real human connection.

Each event combines a live podcast recording with carefully curated moments of reflection, audience participation and unexpected perspective. You will hear the stories behind the public version of our guests, consider the questions alongside them and leave with more than something interesting to listen to — you will leave with something meaningful to take into your own life.

You do not need to have everything figured out to enter the room. You simply need to be open to pausing, reflecting and becoming more intentional about what comes next.

The next Think Deepa Live experiences will take place at Soho House Manchester, with a new guest and a different conversation at every event. Places are limited, allowing the experience to remain intimate, personal and genuinely connected.

Give someone the gift of perspective:

Know someone who is ready to grow, reconnect with themselves or make space to think about what they truly want? A ticket to Think Deepa Live is more than an evening out. It is the gift of time, reflection, inspiration and possibility — for the person who already has enough things, but may need a moment that changes something.

Wellness advocate…

Wellbeing has long been a central part of Deepa’s personal and professional world.

Philanthropist…

Giving back has always been an important part of Deepa’s values and the way she moves through the world.

Alongside her work in media, events and wellbeing, she is deeply committed to community-led impact and using her platform, energy and network to support others in meaningful ways.

One of the initiatives closest to her heart is the Diwali Basket Brigade, a national volunteer-led effort dedicated to supporting vulnerable households through food hampers and acts of care. Deepa is the Manchester Lead and founded the Manchester segment, helping to grow the initiative’s reach and impact within the city through community, collaboration and a shared commitment to service.

Rooted in generosity, dignity and unity, the Diwali Basket Brigade has gone on to make a significant difference across the communities it serves nationally across Birmingham, London, Leicester and Manchester with 19,170 hampers donated, 76,680 individuals fed, 230,040 meals provided to date, and the support of 800+ volunteers who have generously given their time.

For Deepa, philanthropy is not about visibility. It is about responsibility, compassion and showing up for people in a way that is real, practical and consistent.

Her community work reflects the values that sit at the centre of everything she does: connection, kindness, service and impact.
