Being a girl dad

Ajit from India reflects on the moment he realised just how challenging it is for his daughters to grow up in a male-dominated society.

Ajit, a dad from India, tells Namulanta about realising just how tough the world can be for his daughters as they grow up in a male dominated society.

He’s funny, honest and totally unfiltered as he talks about being on a huge learning curve as a ‘girl dad’, and admits that parenting is far harder than any management job he’s ever had.

And the conversation ends with a very emotional moment, as Ajit reveals how he discovered what truly matters in his life.
