When India fast bowler Umesh Yadav spoke to Sharat Bhattatiripad in February, he recalled his father coming home from the coal mines covered in dust. The Hindustan Times interview took Yadav back to his childhood in Vidarbha and the financial pressures his family faced long before he played for India. He also shared his story on Bhattatiripad’s Fever FM show Bharat Positive.
Bhattatiripad, who recently marked his birthday, worked in programming at Radio Mirchi and Red FM before joining HT Media. At Fever FM, he served as vice-president of programming and went on to head content for Fever Radio Network, helping develop programmes for listeners across markets. He stepped down from the leadership role in November 2025 after about 17 years with HT Media.
As a presenter, Bhattatiripad found a different way into cricket with Beyond the Boundary. Co-hosted with Virender Sehwag, the show gave the former India opener room to share anecdotes from his playing days. Its second season reached listeners on Fever FM and viewers on the network’s YouTube and Instagram channels.
On GDP@MyGov, Bhattatiripad has taken the interview format into new territory. He spoke with astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla about his journey from the Indian Air Force to the International Space Station. In September, he sat down with Kaynes Semicon CEO Raghu Panicker to discuss India’s chipmaking ambitions and where young engineers might find their place in the industry.
